After hearing negative reviews from others I was reluctant to see this one at first but I went with my gut feeling and saw it and wow I am so happy I did this movie made my Christmas already it's just what we need in the world today a movie about people putting aside their differences and enjoying just being together

So I paid £7 to fall asleep! Alas, even my kids aged 11 and 14 found it uninteresting. Grandma came along, she loves all animation films, but even this failed to capture her interest. We were expecting some new twists in an already well-known tale, but hey-ho, not this time.

The Grinch was a movie I really wanted to see before Christmas but life was so busy and I just didn't have enough time. I am so glad I finally managed to see it.

LIKED: - the animation is absolutely stunning! all of the colours and the contrast with the snow was amazing.

• Max was the most adorable puppy ever! for some reason, it reminded me of Dobby a bit :D

• a big part of the story was told in verse and there were many quotes taken directly from the book.

DISLIKED: - I kind of wanted more songs

• Grinch wasn't portrayed as mean as I expected

It was a little too eccentric. I would've thought they would make the storyline similar to the 2000 remake, this time with Jim Carrey voicing the bullying mayor!

A much more family friendly story about 'The Grinch'.

I like it. It has a few issues but still does most things right, it's definitely solely made for families but that's not a negative - it does make sense to make an animated version of this Dr. Seuss book.

With that noted, I don't rate Benedict Cumberbatch in the lead role. I don't think his voice suits the role at all, it needed someone who sounds more menacing and treacherous. I never felt, away from his obvious acts, any horrid side to Grinch here - though perhaps that suits the aforementioned family vibe they were aiming fo... קרא את השאר.

If I were a child, I would love it, but I am a grown-up man 😔

The Grinch picture is so bright, so contrasting, so my eyes were satisfied enough.

The Grinch itself is designed very attractively, which is good for children, but it's hard to believe that this character can be as mean as the Grinch should be.

Unfortunately, the story itself is quite predictable, and it's hard to keep your eyes open during the whole movie. While this is not bad for children, it may not appeal to a grown-up audience 🤷‍♂️

His transformation at the end, where his heart grows, was too fast and lacked suffici... קרא את השאר.
