is it just me or....


does it feel like Michael Caine is phoning it in half the time as Scrooge?

reply

It's just you.
He's one of the greatest actors of all time and this film is no exception in my opinion.
Additionally, I really appreciate that he never breaks the fourth wall which must have been so difficult.

Rewatch the scene with him and the GOCPresent
He clearly dosnt give two *beep*

reply

Nope. I think he was fantastic in this. He's a major reason I consider this the best adaptation of the novel.

reply

It's not just you. He phoned this one in.

reply

Thank you!
I'm not saying he's a bad actor
I'm just saying he barely gives any conviction in this particular performance

reply

I've just watched it again and I don't think he phoned it.
He sings in it. For him to actually sing he must've been pretty committed to the role.

reply

Or it was just required.....

reply

Half way through ghost of Xmas present he was also half way between mean Scrooge and generous Scrooge. You may have seen this as phoning it in, I didn't.

It must be hard acting most of the time to puppets and green screens though
