This is my problem with red one. Christmas movies (elf and a few other exceptions) are just better animated. Like nightmare before Christmas, animated movies are able to get those Christmas movie vibes across because they can do whatever they want. Elf, home alone, and some others are really good and are humorous and home alone is a classic Christmas movie. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT RED ONE IS CHRISTMAS! You can’t just throw in some polar bears and a Santa Claus and call it a Christmas movie. The entire movie is the just the rock fighting and being portrayed as this super amazing and wild card of a person in all his movies. The moment I saw his face in the trailer, I knew it’d be like all his movies. It just isn’t the theme that a Christmas movie should be. Again in home alone, a kid is left at home and his mom is spending the movie trying to get back home to him while the kid defends the house from robbers and the movie finishes with the family spending Christmas together. Nothing in this movie is the Christmas vibe, it’s literally just the rock fighting against Christmas stuff
@DidYouZThatАй бұрын
I have to agree with you apart from the set designs where they themselves feel like Christmas that isn’t really much here that does scream a Christmas movie. You are correct also it is just the rock beaten people up as always, the same thing he does in every single movie.

We went to see Heretic yesterday and LOVED it!!!! Sooo full of metaphors & symbolism, one of those movies we think we'd definitely watch again just to see what we might have missed the first go round. But there were so many commercials and product placement pumping up Red One all over the movie theater. Good to know this one is a miss, we won't waste our time! :D

I like all that cast, but I'm just not keen on the look of this movie. I'm a big fan of The Rock the wrestler but I do agree his roles do all feel like the same character in most movies nowadays, Luke Hobbs in Red One haha. Likewise I want to see him do something different, I'd like him to do some villain roles for a change, I wish they did Black Adam as a villain instead of an Anti-Hero, basically give us the Final Boss in movie form. This will be one I probably watch on home release eventually. Top video Mike 👍👍

His weakness was in the mythology elements, mostly in that we didn't recognise them. Isn't something I'd revisit, but nephew would have gone 3.5 minimum here. I've told him to watch Die Hard and Violent Night next, to try and find a Xmas classic

The world they have created was really fresh, however the story was really meh. And kinda pointless. I thought at first that this movie was going to be an Avenger theme movie but with a Christmas theme, given the poster design it made it appear that a team of elite Christmas agents were going to search for the Red one, which made sense, get to send out their best agents for to search for Santa in front of just 1.

Yeah the whole background story why the Rock character wanted to stop ( cant even remember his name. ) and the godawful conversation he has with Santa about it made the movie seem so much more childish than it needed to be. I wasn't sure what the target audience was supposed to be but when I see the comments it makes sense that parents with young children might enjoy it. Also the fact that the Rock is horrible in this and plays the SAME character again that he ALWAYS plays is SO MUCH more amplified by the fact that pretty much EVERY actor in this is so much better than him. Chris Evans ( who I feel like played a mild version of his Knives Out character, not really Cap ), Krampus, the witch and even Santa ( with the limited time he shows up. ) all over shadow him. This movie should have been advertised more as a CHILDRENS movie, most of audience were adults and it was pretty obvious people expected more of an action/comedy, maybe even some adult jokes. but this was clearly a family movie.

Yeah I agree with your thoughts and I too think if they marketed it more for kids and a goofy movie, they could nail the box office market.

Funnily enough I did some more research on this last night and I found that the budget of the movie went up by $50 million because the rock would show up 7 to 8 hours late on shoots most days so they had to do extra filming all because of his big ego.
