Aw c’mon. There are two really great Scrooges in movie history. Alastair Sim was the first, George C. Scott the second. No way Jim Carrey of all people is within a country mile.

I’m not the person to consult on character development I’m afraid, but it is an absolutely compelling rendition.

Alastair Sim by far the best, Albert Finney wasn’t bad either.

Patrick Stewart did an excellent job of playing Scrooge as well.
I would argue that it rivaled Scott's portrayal.

I liked those two actors portrayals a lot! Another one who was really good was Reginald Owen. He was in an early “A Christmas Carol” along with Gene Lockhart/his family. (that was another acting family of those days which included June Lockhart in “Lassie” series.)
