Der Grinch

Anyone who gave this a bad rating clearly is just upset because, they don't like a modern Grinch because they grew up with the original classic Grinch cartoon. This movie was one of the most adorable and fun feel-good animated movies I've seen in a long time. Benedict Cumberbatch killed it as the Grinch and, all the gadgets and grandeur of the grinches holiday heist scene is so creative and colourful and fantastical! This is one of the greatest Christmas movies of all time up there with Nightmare before Christmas. This movie was a joy to watch and if you couldn't find joy in this movie maybe, you're the Grinch.

Seems like everyone is forgetting this is just ment to be a fun Christmas movie for kids think it's great and a lot better then the old one

This is a fun, easy watching, updated retelling of The Grinch who Stole Christmas...but that's it, there's nothing else to it.

It doesn't have the charisma that Jim Carrey brought to the original live action remake, and it doesn't have the charm of the original short cartoon made in 1966. In fact, the Grinch doesn't seem that mean at all...just a tad grumpy.

But...the animation is absolutely excellent, the modernising of the story is quite fun, as is the soundtrack, and it's an enjoyable Christmas movie with some very good chuckles thrown in there. Happy to watch this with the kids again over the festive break...

It is the classic story of The Grinch we all know so well. So yes its predictable, yes we know what's going to happen and how it ends, but even so it was a joy to watch and the kids really enjoyed it. This version of the grinch is a little less disgusting and you see a bit more kindness from him, which I liked. It had quite a few laughs and some very sweet moments. I personally liked it better than the Jim Carry version. But nothing beats the original.

I rarely watch animated movies, so I didn't expect much going into this one. I have to say I like the original and Jim Carrey ones better, but this is still fun. For a family movie, or just a movie to go see with a friend or girlfriend, I think this is a good flick to see going into the holidays! 7/10
