Not great, but certainly not bad monster film that thankfully has a serious tone to it and the Special effects are nice too. Quite creepy when the Men are exploring the mine and meeting the unseen inhabitants, which lose a lot when You see them.
I was watching the Japanese version which is a little more edgy with profanity and a mention of the Disaster that could occur if the North and South poles melted...an early warning of Global Warming. ***

My favorite version is the one from 1951 with Alistair Sim. I'll be watching that tomorrow.

Like the 1951 version, but I enjoy this more, although it does look rushed and some important plot points in the story that should have been in here. Eg, The reason for Scrooge's coldness towards Fred, No mention of his broken engagement and the betrayal of Fezziwig.
On the plus side, the sets are wonderful (it truly feels You are in London in December), a stirring Franz Waxman score and cool seeing Gene Lockhart with his wife Kathleen and in her debut, their daughter June (who went on to fame in TV shows like LASSIE and LOST IN SPACE). Also Terry Kilburn as Tiny I'm, who later was in THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES
and FIEND WITHOUT A FACE!
Reginald Owen is a great Scrooge and I like how the film shows him becoming less a curmudgeon as the story progresses instead of turning over a new leaf all at once and enjoy the scene where He is shaving very much. ****

That's a great observation! Im not commenting on which is better, but a type of really good Christmas Carol film would show us how he was hurt and became cold, and then let us see how/why his heart is opened slowly with understanding and compassion, rather than (basically) a curmudgeon all the way to the last scene, although being struck by grace moment would be there, just probably more than once. Best films are seeing our character change over the film.
