Red One

-

As the holidays arrive, it is that time of year again for a new Christmas movie for the masses. Red One arrives in theaters this weekend. When a villain abducts Santa Claus from the North Pole, an E.L.F. (Extremely Large and Formidable) agent teams up with the world's top tracker/thief to rescue him and save Christmas.

What follows is The Good, The Bad, and NO Spoilers of Red One.

The Good

Red One presents a fresh take on the Christmas movie genre, blending action and humor that will appeal to both adult and teen audiences. Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans deliver strong performances, with their characters complementing each other seamlessly. The film offers a highly imaginative portrayal of the North Pole Workshop and Santa Claus, bringing a creative new perspective to these classic elements. One of the standout features of the film for me was the depiction of Santa’s reindeer, which were equally “Extremely Large and Formidable,” adding a unique and memorable touch to the story.

The Bad

Red One strikes a balance between audience appeal, positioned between films like Violent Night (2022) and Polar Express (2004). It avoids the graphic violence and strong language of Violent Night while not catering to the younger audience of Polar Express. With its action-driven storyline and occasional crude language, Red One is best suited for older audiences and is not a Christmas movie ideal for viewing with small children.

My Overall Opinion

I give Red One a solid 8 out of 10.

The Batman (Like, Another One)

  When I first heard there was going to be another Batman, with a different actor, my first thought was simply “why?”. When I found out that this actor was Robert Patterson, I was genuinely intrigued. I know Patterson gets a lot of negative comments because of the Twilight movies, but I have never held those against him. The Batman follows this iconic superhero in a new dark tale as he tracks down a serial killer. Batman slowly follows the clues into the criminal underworld of Gotham and the possible corruption of Gotham’s most influential figures.   What follows is The Good, The Bad, and  The Spoilers  of The Batman. The Good This movie has a nice “dark” feel to it, reminiscent of The Dark Knight. A villain that brutally kills his victims. A hero not afraid to beat the bad guys to a bloody pulp. Criminals focused on sex, drugs, and all things bad. These are things that the majority of super hero movies seems to shy away from, or skirt around. Although the major...
