I'm not sure why the writers decided to update a true classic. The characters have been changed dramatically. Guy Pearce is too young and has not disguised his Australian twang. Bob Cratchit is facetious and sarcastic. His wife is mixed race and bolshy. The scenery is dark and stylish, and everyone looks clean. To summarise, if you love the book and previous productions don't bother.
