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.

[@Erasureeraser]

Apparently, the budget for this thing somehow costed $250 million. You could've give all those money to A24 and let them made 150 to 200 awesome Indie films. Instead, we got another The Rock movie where he's just being.......The Rock. Huh, thanks Hollywood 👍

[@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.

The truth is while that is way more money than any human being should make with anything, Johnson is one of the last classic movie stars that can bring audiences to anything. This movie would be way less popular without him.

[@Mr00Chief00]

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 just watched it I thought it was enjoyable

[@HardlyQuinn]

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.

My 9yr old step son loves all Christmas movies no matter how terribly cheesy they are. I’m sure he’s going to love this one too. Hope my wife gets me some super strong bud to sit through this one.

[@ianm6214]

I don’t get the hate behind this movie. It was mediocre so I don’t want to give it undue praise but it was my no means terrible. I enjoyed it for being a lighthearted, fun take on Christmas

[@_JellyWalker]

I have to say the practical makeup for Krampus looks cool. He looks like he could be a character from Hellboy or Elden Ring.

LOL

Even Jumanji was better than this.

[@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.

[@Oikawasglassess]

Just went to watch it with my class, it was entertaining I didn’t expect so much hate 😭

[@ImperialWarrior6490]

If you want a good Christmas film with J.K. Simmons being Santa, watch Klaus. Beautiful animated, wonderful character stories, and really sweet film.

[@RayMcElroy50]

In the past, studios invested in famous actors But that allowed us to see original content before that got replaced by dependence in franchises

[@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.

[@deadn00b1]

A $250 million movie…that should’ve been a Prime Original Film.

Can we get a review about the penguin series; would love to hear your thoughts on it.

This is the best Christmas film as far as Christmas films go in many many years. I don’t get the hate , worth more than 30% it got on rotten tomatoes.

The Holdovers is my fav Christmas film now, wish you reviewed it!

[@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?

[@chancecarlile2899]

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.

[@seesterful]

I saw it and it exceeded my expectations, given that every reviewer/influencer I've seen has absolutely trashed it I was expecting it to be TERRIBLE and it was not... by any means... award winning material, but I was entertained enough

[@Smitty9430]

National lampoons Christmas is my go to. “Sh*^%^’s full!, they put red one in it”

[@yunggabriel3209]

I thought it was a good movie, but I don’t necessarily disagree with your analysis of the film. The tone was a little all over the place, some of the cameos were really random, and the rock is the rock, but I felt that was overshadowed a bit and I didn’t notice it all that much. JK Simmons was great as always albeit in limited screentime, Chris Evan’s character was a dick but I liked his evolution throughout the movie. Not perfect by any means, but I’d give it a 7/10

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.

Zen expectations … yet my family loved it. Sounds like a win to me.

[@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.

[@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. 🤭

Thanks for the review! Fave Christmas movie...Fred Claus I feel like it doesn't get enough love. Is it vince Vaughn doing Vince Vaughn? Sure, but it's also a funny, touching movie about siblings with some subtle and not so subtle positive messages in there. I dare you not to smile...esp. at the siblings anonymous scene...with Frank Stallone, Roger Clinton and Stephen Baldwin!

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?

[@PolymurExcel]

Violent Night was $20mil.

[@tjjordan4207]

I'm just going to say it, Dwyane Johnson isn't a box office draw. Not in terms of the $200+ million dollar budgets he likes to be part of. Jason Stathum at least knows better than to do high budget action films unless if it's with other people who can help bring in a larger audience. Seriously, look at every film from The Rock in the last six years and you'll find that his most profitable ones are the films where he's sharing the main spotlight with other actors.

[@Percyripped]

Ppl complaining and bitxhing about this movie are just jaded close minded simpletons. This movie suprised the hell out of me in a good way. I thought it was going to be another kids movie. But its more so a edgy percy jackson type movie but instead of greek mythology its christmas mythology. I loved the use of real prosthetics for krampus and his goons. I loved the action, i loved the comedy sprinkled in. I loved the whole world building aspect of it.

[@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.

Enjoyed Red One. Reminds me of Christmas Chronicles or The Santa Clause. Probably won't be watched much outside of the Holidays but I could see it becoming a Xmas staple.
