There's a desperation about these movies which I feel comes through, the songs and music felt forced and were neither catchy or well produced because everything at the cinema is just loud. Ariana being so squeaky is constantly irritating, the overdone costume/sets, well everything, it was way too much, unneeded and made key things fade into the background, it's a very bland, easy to forget movie.

The story is just not as well done as the theatre, the acting is lost in a sea of mediocre cgi, Not convinced Jeff was best choice for the wizard, a far too one dimensional portrayal. There's nothing memorable here, not an album I'd be buying, Cynthia is a star but not because of this.

I want to love it, tried the first 3 times, it's watchable, but to say it's the best of cinema or 10/10 is just flat out ludicrous, as is giving it 1/10. Think for kids it'll feel incredible and loud and overbearing but in a way they'll love. It's not in the league of the theatre.

I went into this film underwhelmed, outside of a cheap animated one for toddlers and couple of horrors, there's 1 Christmas movie getting a uk cinema release which has been the case for last couple of years, so you'd assume that one would be a brand new cheesy classic fresh and ready to be added to the list of yearly binges.

But nope, for the 57347534th time someone thought, let's do the Christmas Carol story but add another mind numbingly boring twist, people are saying it's getting hate because it showed different religions.. no it didn't, it portrayed nothing of anything very well at all, no traditions or in depth looks at other cultures or how they celebrate, that's just a lazy excuse to hide behind this being a garbage movie.

Acting is horrendous, a lot of pretty well known faces and they all suck here, the dialogue is awful and the chemistry is none existent, the three ghosts were dreadful and offered nothing at all, adding in day of the dead was a needless and cheap, didn't add any depth to it anyway.

The music was awful, I mean Pixie Lott can sing but didn't bother here, she should never ever act again, this was hilariously bad, the music was terrible, forgettable and just completely needless, 10 people left the cinema based off the 1st song as it went on and on and on and you could tell it was goons to be bad.

I'd say 85% is 0/10 10% of film 5/10 5% was 7/10 (the last bit is always good.

Unwatchable in places, it's disgusting cinemas are charging full prices for this. It's far worse than stuff you get on the apps.

Just don't.
