[@cobra8888]

The review being way short is good enough of an insult. That tells you how much the movie is lacking.

[@TheQuietTimes]

The fact that Godzilla Minus One was shot for 15-20 million basically exposes how ridiculous budgets for "Hollywood Productions" have gotten. Like... That awesome film was shot for less than The Rock's salary

[@FlyingFocs]

And the best part is that was the average cost for a Godzilla movie. Yeah, something like 10-15 million USD since about the 80s is what Toho gives to one of its more popular IPs. And people are fine with that.

[@AppleEnglishNetwork]

I think the Hollywood budget also has to do with all of the additional stipulations from union workers and what the law requires based on what state/country the movie is shot. Filming in Japan can be just as expensive but usually the actresses/actors salary is very low and The people working behind the scenes do multiple jobs making for a lower budget.

[@pistonburner6448]

So, Hollywood saw those Finnish Santa Claus films and made their worse corporate several hundred million copy?

[@Jhayzer021]

But Godzilla -1 doesn't have a wide released esp. in most Asian Countries that is why it didn't cost much compared to Red One.

[@1997residente]

There is an upcoming movie called The Brutalist that comes up in One Month. It's distributed by A24. It stars Adrian Brody, an academy award winner. It's like 3 and a half hour long movie and it was made on Film (Very expensive nowadays). Apparently it required hundreds and hundreds of extras, costumes and set designs. It's kinda like There will be blood and Once Upon A Time in America. It cost 10 million, which is 240 million less than Red One

[@brendanb2982]

The hilarious thing is the Rock will be in an A24 film soon directed by the Safdie brothers about the faded MMA star Mark Kerr. Compared to the rest of Dwayne's filmography, it feels like rehab for his past failures.

Saw it last night with my girlfriend and her 2 cousins at the theater. We thought it was just a basic and enjoyable film that, within its genre of course, scored a 7/10 from all 4 of us. Yes it feels a little bit like a MARVEL superhero flick meets X-mas film and at times they REALLY want to rub in certain elements (Dwayne Johnson's character being in charge of the E.L.F (*SIgh*), Chris Evans's character literally stealing candy from a baby to show of how "evil" he is at the start before he has his very predictable conversion to being good) etc. But the hate this film gets is a bit over the top and I feel a lot of people just hate on it because that's the popular opinion and it's easy to go with 'the biggest team' aka flock behaviour'. Yes, the budget of 250 million is bloated (if that is indeed the actual sum that was spend on it), despite having a few interesting ideas the story was quite standard, it will never win an Oscar for anything standing out etc. But graphically the film looks fine or even good most of the time, the acting is fine or even very solid (especially a touching scene between Dwayne Johnson and JK Simmons at the start of the film) and speaking of the overall package there are just far worse films out there.

[@bud11207]

I couldn't agree more. This is a film that'll get hate because it's trendy to hate on it. It's perfectly decent 7/10. And it's budget is not our problem so why people care I don't know

Jack was never meant to be "evil", just broken, cynical & sad because his dad abandoned him / the family. I watched it today expecting it to be terrible & really enjoyed it.

Red one followed by snowpiercer would be the perfect Chris Evans double feature

I was thinking Push followed by Snowpiercer.

Red one sucks. Snowpiercer is actually good.

Jumanji meets The Holidays

[@stitch3163]

LOL

[@cyborgparrot1996]

Even Jumanji was better than this.

[@KatallinaVT]

My favorite Christmas movie is Home Alone. It's heartfelt and funny, the holiday vibe sticks around through the whole thing, and I feel more in the holiday spirit--which for me means wanting to spend time with family and friends--once I watch it.

[@bobbypinkston9374]

I took my mom to go see this for her birthday yesterday and here were my thoughts about the film: -way too big a budget, could’ve been made for $150M and it wouldn’t have been worse -just a bit more effort and this is PG, now you’ve got a wide audience, and a shot at the parents desperate to get their kids to the theater (like myself) -the movie was cute, entertaining, but messy. They didn’t know who to write it for. -JK Simmons killed it, as always. He was charming and lovable as Santa.

[@Chimcharlover13]

I mean, nothing is ever gonna beat Elf and Ernest Saves Christmas. They're always gonna be the top 2 Christmas movies of all-time. Scrooged and A Muppets Christmas Carol would be next in line, probably.

[@Markwoodcock2]

Sorry but it seems the audience actually like it. Our theater laughed out loud, and even clapped at the end. I don't see that very often. I though it was a fun movie that all ages could enjoy. It's not high art, it's just fun.

"Jackie Chan is the ONLY action/comedy director" -Every frame a painting

[@thelaughingrouge]

Jackie is definitely the man.

[@realtsavo]

@@thelaughingrouge No, fuck Jackie. That asshole sellout. Seriously, fuck him. The man is LITERALLY a CCP wannabe. Completely sold out Hong Kong, has routinely shit on his American fans, and has ultimately destroyed his legacy. Unfortunately, too many people are stuck on the nostalgia train with him, and are completely unaware of who he has really become these days.

[@Left4red14]

Maybe its just one of those days but this is actually enjoyable popcorn flick, I felt the ending pays off and might be a yearly Christmas tradition.

The Santa Clause and Home Alone 1 and 2 are my favorite Christmas movies. I was hoping this would kinda be that spirit but I’m glad I waited for reviews.

[@creepybantha1665]

I liked this movie. That's not to say your rating of "Not gonna remember it in T-minus 1 day" is in any way inaccurate, but this movie benefitted my life for 123 minutes and, really, what more can I ask for at this point?

[@evelynhail9534]

Red One! 🎄 Thank you so much for doing this review. I enjoyed the Christmasy decorations, marvelish like action, the lore. And something about the importance of family connections and emotional connections overall got to me. Plus it’s so much fun to see Cap swear. 🤭

Just sitting here waiting for Jeremy to talk about acts 1 and 2 of Arcane cause I need to know one thing. DID JEREMY SUFFER AT THE END OF ACT 2 LIKE THE REST OF US DID?!

[@jayvardy]

There are 1000s of fantastic scripts by unknowns just sitting on a hard drive right now. Any one of those scripts would produce a breakout star. Instead we get this movie.

[@barney7822]

Hollywood SHOULD invest in original stories But not being under the impression that people will watch it because of the cast

[@kishenchohan1286]

I will watch this probably for J K Simons

[@albertthepeacock8020]

That's the thing modern audiences don't care for original stories with original ideas because they're used to what they know. Like the Disney live action remakes and the amount of sequels from Pixar actual good movies that stand out will fail at the box office.

[@PupGamer]

Finally a movie is brave enough to answer the question: "Prompt: Generate a script for a Christmas action movie that combines two randomly selected Lucas Films titles". But the forgot the part where when the AI accidentally chooses the literal titles of Red Tails and Rogue One, you have to buy another $5 worth of tokens and make it start over from scratch.

[@alister101]

Sir, When is the review of The Penguin? was surprised you haven't done a weekly video.

[@thanosandnobill3789]

Hollywood is a money laundry machine for banks and funds. I have seen businesses make renovations that cost five times more than normal and three times more often. If small to medium-sized companies do that, Hollywood does that also 1000 times more.

[@deathsdoor07]

It would make more sense if it's embezzlement. That way they can pocket more of the money. Why would they take clean money and move it to another location to look clean?

As far as newer Christmas movies go “The Night before” always gives me a good laugh but obviously “It’s a wonderful Life” is the GOAT.

[@mr.heisenberg0122]

Remember, the Rock had the audacity to compare this movie to Oppenheimer.

[@kishenchohan1286]

Red One is not worthy in IMAX, should have been sent to streaming, I guess Amazon spent lots of this so they decided stick it on theatres to get a huge payout then bring it on digital during the holidays

[@BasketCase-rr7tx]

Like I have pointed out to other people who mentioned this. This film has an audience score of 89 on Rotten Tomatoes. Thats only 2 less than Oppenheimer. Seems like audiences agree with The Rock.

[@BasketCase-rr7tx]

​@@kishenchohan1286 It originally was going to be a streaming movie but Amazon changed it to a theatrical release as they must have belieived it had the quality to sell tickets.

I can’t remember. I tend to not pay any attention to anything he says. Basically, he doesn’t exist outside a handful of movies I own.
