POSITIVES…
- Benedict Cumberbatch plays a good Grinch.
- Love Love Love Max the dog and Fred the reindeer.
- Cindy-Lou Who has an expanded plot which I thought worked well.
- I found it to be pretty funny a lot of the times. From the sight gags, the recurring jokes, to non sequiturs.
- Visuals are great, with some fantastic ideas in how it depicts whoville.
- Some of the contemporary additions were innocuous enough to work with the story.
NEGATIVES…
- Some of the contemporary additions just feel too out of place, or just failed altogether.
- The narrator and the more modern version of the theme song just didn’t work for me at all.
- While it has a great thematic message at the end, not all of the themes seemed to have carried over to the movie.
P.S….
- Co-Directed by the guy who helped bring us Jay & Silent Bob.
