Haq mewarisi kuasa luar biasanya daripada ayahnya. Bad tertarik dengan kuasa yang digunakan lalu meminta Ayah Haq mewariskan cara penggunaan kuasa tersebut kepadanya. Namun Bad bukanlah orang yang baik. Hatinya tertarik pada kemewahan dan kesenangan dunia. Bad adalah jenis manusia berhati busuk yang tidak suka melihat orang lain melebihi dirinya. Haq menjadi mangsa buli Bad. Dipengaruhi perasaan tamak, Bad menyalahgunakan kuasa yang dimilikinya untuk merebut segala-galanya, biarpun dia sudah memilikinya. Ketamakan menyebabkan matanya menjadi buta, tidak dapat melihat segala rezeki dan kelebihan yang sebenarnya sudah lama ada di sisinya, cuma dia yang buta untuk tidak melihatnya.

ULASAN FILEM HAQ:
PRO: Visual kesan khas yang digunakan dalam filem Haq adalah baik. Secara visual, filem Haq memiliki visual yang menarik. Hasil seni bina bangunan-bangunan yang menarik di Malaysia dimanfaatkan sebagai latar belakang filem. Seimbas lalu, montaj filem Haq yang menarik ada iras filem dari Thailand, namun itu bukanlah perkara yang penting. Apa yang penting adalah jalan ceritanya yang ada babak-babak yang menarik.

KONTRA: Jalan cerita Haq walau bagaimana pun tidak begitu lancar. Babak-babak yang memaparkan ketegangan berterusan, dan ada babak yang agak kaku, adakalanya boleh buat penonton rasa mengantuk. Watak-watak tidak dikembangkan ke tahap yang memuaskan. Masih ada banyak misteri yang menyelubungi watak-watak. Adakah kuasa yang dimiliki oleh Haq dan ayahnya adalah anugerah Tuhan? Bagaimana pula Bad boleh mempelajari kuasa tersebut?

PRO: Namun aksi-aksi pertarungan yang diselitkan dalam filem ini akan menyegarkan kembali penonton yang mengantuk.

PRO: Watak hero digambarkan dengan baik. Heronya kuat, tegas dan bijak. Betul-betul ada ciri-ciri hero. Ini menarik perhatian penonton. Lakonan watak-watak lain juga adalah baik. Adi Putra berjaya membawa watak antagonis yang diselubungi hasutan dendam dengan baik. Dari segi lakonan, filem ini adalah baik, baik dan baik. Emosi lakonan para pelakon sampai kepada penonton.

KONTRA: Watak-watak yang digambarkan dalam filem Haq memiliki ciri-ciri fasik. Watak-watak ada menggunakan dialog-dialog yang menunjukkan mereka ingat akan kewujudan Tuhan, tetapi budaya hidup watak-watak di dalam filem ini menunjukkan seolah-olah Tuhan wujud sebagai satu kuasa, tetapi perintahnya tidak dituruti sepenuhnya. Terdapat beberapa babak yang bertentangan dengan ajaran Islam seperti berpegangan tangan, bersekedudukan dan sebagainya. Ada penonton yang mengeluarkan komen sindiran apabila salah seorang watak heroin menyebut seolah-olah dia mengingati Tuhan tetapi pada masa yang sama hidupnya menggambarkan sebaliknya.

KONTRA: Terdapat satu dua babak asmara dan separuh babak aksi di ranjang yang dilakonkan oleh Adi Putra tidak menyenangkan mata memandang, apatah lagi ada kanak-kanak di dalam panggung yang mula bertanya apa yang sedang dilakukan oleh watak-watak tersebut.

PRO: Efek bunyi yang dipaparkan adalah menarik.

KESIMPULAN: Filem Haq memiliki kekuatan tarikan dari segi lakonan, visual dan kesan khas. Secara keseluruhannya, penonton suka melihat kesan-kesan khas yang diaparkan dalam filem Haq ini. Jalan ceritanya walau bagaimana pun adalah biasa-biasa sahaja.

The 3-D film was produced through the process of performance capture, a technique Zemeckis has previously used in his films The Polar Express (2004) and Beowulf (2007).

A Christmas Carol began filming in February 2008, and was released on November 4, 2009 by Walt Disney Pictures.[5] It received its world premiere in London, coinciding with the switching on of the annual Oxford Street and Regent Street Christmas lights, which in 2009 had a Dickens theme.

The film was released in Disney Digital 3-D and IMAX 3-D. It is also Disney's third retelling of A Christmas Carol in 26 years, having released Mickey's Christmas Carol in 1983 (using the in-house Mickey Mouse & Donald Duck characters) and later distributing The Muppet Christmas Carol for Jim Henson Productions in 1992, with Disney later acquiring the rights to The Muppets from Jim Henson Productions. The film also marks Jim Carrey's first role in a Disney film.

A Christmas Carol Synopsis:
On Christmas Eve in Victorian England, Ebenezer Scrooge, a bitter and miserly old moneylender, holds everything that embodies the joys and spirit of Christmas in contempt, refusing to visit his cheerful nephew Fred's Christmas dinner party with his family, and forcing his underpaid employee Bob Cratchit to beg to take the day off for his own family. That night, Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his former business partner, Jacob Marley, who had died seven years prior on Christmas Eve and is now forced to spend his afterlife carrying heavy chains forged from his own greedy ways. Marley warns Scrooge that he will suffer an even worse fate if he doesn't repent, and foretells that he will be haunted by three spirits that will help guide him.

The first spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Past, shows Scrooge visions of his own past that take place on or around the Christmas season, reminding him of how he ended up the greedy man he is now. He had spent much of his childhood neglected by his father over the holidays at boarding school until he was finally brought home by his loving sister Fan, who died prematurely after giving birth to his nephew Fred. Scrooge later began a successful career in business and moneylending and became engaged to a woman named Belle, though she later called off the engagement when he began to grow obsessed with accumulating his own wealth. Unable to bear having to witness these events again, Scrooge extinguishes the spirit.

The second spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Present, shows Scrooge the happiness of his fellow men on Christmas day. Among them are his nephew Fred, who playfully makes jokes with his family at Scrooge's expense, and Bob Cratchit and his family, who are just barely able to make do with what little pay Scrooge gives Cratchit. The Cratchits also tend to a sickly young son, Tiny Tim, whose commitment to the spirit of Christmas touches Scrooge, who is dismayed to learn from the spirit that he may not have much longer to live. Before the spirit vanishes, it warns Scrooge about the evils of Ignorance and Want, showing them as terrifying, uncivilized children doomed to grow into savage, despicable individuals.

The third and final spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, shows Scrooge the final consequences of his greed. Tiny Tim has died, leaving the Cratchits to mourn him on Christmas. Scrooge has also died, though there is more comfort than grief in the wake of his funeral. In addition, Fred finds benefit from inheriting his wealth, and Scrooge is even robbed by his former maid. Unwilling to let this grim future come to pass, Scrooge begs to be given a second chance as the spirit forces him into his deep and empty grave leading all the way to Hell.

Scrooge awakens to find himself in his bed on Christmas morning, the three spirits having guided him over the course of one night, and immediately sets out to atone for his sins, making donations to the poor, attending Fred's dinner party, and giving Cratchit a raise to care for his family, allowing Tiny Tim to live. Scrooge spends the remainder of his life a new man embodying the spirit of Christmas itself, and the film ends.

Consensus: Robert Zemeckis' 3-D animated take on the Dickens classic tries hard, but its dazzling special effects distract from an array of fine performances from Jim Carrey and Gary Oldman.
