Pretty solid festive fare, this.‘Red One’ is perhaps slightly overlong and I didn’t sense much chemistry between the cast, though those onscreen still give enjoyable performances and the plot is suitably entertaining whilst giving the necessary Xmas vibes. I was quite impressed with the special effects, I personally thought that side of this flick looked pretty neat.
Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans are fun enough in this. Johnson is a bit more serious than usual and I liked that, while Evans’ character ends up being the heart of the movie. J. K. Simmons, more than Johnson, plays against type, it’s actually unnerving seeing him portray a true good guy – was almost waiting for him to shout down someone’s neck, as per.
Kiernan Shipka is decent, as is Kristofer Hivju – I rate their characters. Lucy Liu is underused, mind. Bonnie Hunt too, I guess. I can’t really fault anyone from the cast though, they all do solid work. If I’m honest, I don’t see this film having much of a lifespan in the old memory bank but, nevertheless, I’d still classify it as something worth viewing.
I thought this came to the cinemas about a month early, but it’s still an amiable adventure showcase for Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans. It all starts on Christmas Eve when Santa Clause (J.K. Simmons) is kidnapped from his North Pole home. It’s retirement time for his head of security “Cal” (Johnson) so he’s not best pleased after hundreds of years – and working with “Zoe” (Lucy Lui) he has to find out just how his boss’s security was compromised in the first place – and then get to the rescuing bit. That search leads them to tech whizz “Jack” (Chris Evans) but he hadn’t any idea whom his client actually was. After a rocky start, the two men must pull their resources and save Santa before Christmas really does start to deal with all of us on the naughty list. It’s got bits of “Elf” in it, mingled with some “Harry Potter” elements and to be fair to all concerned, they all look like they are having some fun amidst a surfeit of CGI and very tightly choreographed action scenes that mix the modern and the mythological entertainingly enough. Simmons and Liu don’t really feature so much and the moral of good vs evil isn’t lost in the delivery but it isn’t laboured either. Perhaps it’s not a movie you will ever remember seeing, but as far as it goes it’s a fun vehicle for it’s stars to cheer us up as the festivities approach without too much sentiment or cheese.
Missed opportunity
A love the premise and the lore that they´ve set up here. But this makes me the more dissapointed with the second half of the movie. It feels completely rushed. I expected a big epic finale to build up and ultimately have this amazing final battle to retake the north pole with these cool tactical factions, but no. Nothing. Also this movie could have hugely benefitted from an epic soundtrack, but it just has your tipical generic one, no memorable tune (except for the Krampus chants which is cool).I hope they get a second chance, because I do love christmas movies like these that explore more on the fantasy side instead of those hideous christmas rom coms.
A decent Christmas film with a difference
Just watched this at the cinema on release day. I actually enjoyed the movie. It’s not my favourite Christmas film by any stretch but I enjoyed watching something a little bit different but still had lots of Christmas magic within.It’s very much an action/adventure/Christmas film all rolled into one. The storyline centres on the main characters quest to locate and return Santa Clause after he is kidnapped. Lots of adventure and jokes along the way. Some hit and some miss!
Like all Christmas films of this nature, just enjoy it for what it is. These types of movies should never be about real life but just immerse yourself for 2 hours in a world of action and magic.
Overall, a solid 7 out of 10 for me. Not the best or worst film I’ve seen but for this time of year it is certainly one I’d recommend.
But as I always say, don’t worry about reviews! Everyone will see the same thing differently. Go and make your own mind up.
