The first trailer for Red One was released back in June, and the response was far from enthusiastic. Reports of disastrous early screenings followed, and the news that Amazon MGM planned to lift the social media embargo during election night wasn't a great sign, either.

The first reactions to Jumanji director Jake Kasdan's Christmas-themed fantasy adventure are now in, and while they're far from positive, the consensus probably isn't quite as bad as you may have been expecting.

Though a few critics (some of these guys are better described as influencers, to be honest) did not care for the movie whatsoever, others were very impressed, hailing the movie as a new Holiday classic.

The movie stars Dwayne Johnson as a North Pole security agent who teams-up with a skilled but "naughty" bounty hunter (Chris Evans) to track down and rescue an impressively jacked Santa Claus (J.K. Simmons) when he's kidnapped by a group of unknown assailants.

Have a read through the reactions below, and we'll update as more are posted.

The cast also features Lucy Liu (Kill Bill: Vol. 1; Charlie's Angels), Kiernan Shipka (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina; Mad Men), Bonnie Hunt (The Green Mile; Jumanji), Kristofer Hivju (Game of Thrones; The Fate of the Furious), Nick Kroll (Big Mouth; Don't Worry Darling), and Wesley Kimmel (The Book of Boba Fett; Good Girls).

Red One is set to hit theaters on November 15 and will stream on Prime Video at a later date.

@harryba11zack - great suggestion. I always thought of him as a Marvel only guy but this could work.

The trailer helped in making me stay away from this movie.

And lolz at those shills who still try to make this look good and kudos to those who had the guts to say otherwise. Reviewers on this site can take inspiration there.

As a professional Santa…I’m so excited to see this movie! It looks like good popcorn fun!

Silly question, but why should take so seriously an adult's opinion of a movie that looks like it was made primarily for children?

I'd really like to know "their" opinions, as they aren't professional critics and usually have a much better attitude about movies that are made for fun.

@LSHF - You should start a Rotten Tomatoes where it’s just reviews written by 10-year-olds.

That idea might make us some money.

I think this should be the final chapter of the Dwayne Johnson experiment. He just isn't a good actor and has no box office draw and his movies are almost always rated poorly.
thedrudo
thedrudo - 11/6/2024, 12:41 AM
@SonOfAGif - Yah, it’s worn beyond thin. I used to enjoy him a lot but the persona has gone stale and his meathead behavior has turned me off.
SonOfAGif
SonOfAGif - 11/6/2024, 12:53 AM
@thedrudo - I think Hollywood thrives with creative stories, good actors, and compelling movies. But when you have the same actor who plays the same character in every single movie it just becomes exhausting and ignored. I cannot name one role where Dwayne Johnson didn't play himself. He has no range and like you said, His meathead behavior is a turn off.

As someone who enjoys new takes on Christmas movies, I am actually looking forward to seeing this (at home for free).

@mountainman - I kinda thought we already could. This looks like the most Netflix-coded movie the Rock and Evans could've starred in together

Looks absolutely heinous. I’m tempted to see it with my Regal Pass because it’s a Christmas movie but woof it looks bad. Evans should be out trying to sell this POS and not peddling his cringy political videos.

Christmas movies are almost always cheesy and that's what I like about them. I'll give this a watch at some point

@SonOfAGif - This site makes everything from the Little Mermaid to The Hulk about politics. The Avengers themselves assembled to promote a candidate. All I did was thank my country for making the right choice. No speeches. No gloating...

Only the opposition doesn't want to celebrate this outcome.
