I think this is a pretty bad film.

It's not a bad film at all. Just say you don't like or understand it. To spend that much time trying to trash it (unsuccessfully) shows you have no heart or (seemingly) have never known the deep support of friends and family.
Maybe someday you'll get it. I wish that for you. -

Your response pretty much confirms that he successfully trashed it. You canβt even counter his points and instead resort to ad hominem attacks.
Wrong. As I said, he
tried
to trash it. He failed miserably.
The same goes for your accusation that I employed ad hominem. I didn't. -

The sequence, while ingrained in popular culture, is in itself a take or rip-off of a A Christmas Carol. Instead of Past, Present, and Future, it's Never Been Born. I'd even argue that Potter is Scrooge here, and George is Bob Cratchit, and they switched who gets the spirit.
Charles Dickens is considered by many to be a great novelist, and his story
A Christmas Carol
(1843) is one of his better stories, so the fact that
It's a Wonderful Life
bares some similarity to it, might be considered as a positive by many.
In the end, I think there are enough differences in the story of
It's a Wonderful Life
to make it not a take-off or rip-off of
A Christmas Carol
.
Schrodinger's Cat walks into a bar, and doesn't.
