After Streaming In Theaters, The Red One Has Already Streamed

Posted by Jonathan Klotz | Published 13 seconds ago

Dwayne Johnson was once the king of blockbusters, able to turn any idea into a hit, but those days are behind him as the power hierarchy in Hollywood has shifted, and now his movies are just….okay. Black Adamconsidered a huge flop, in retrospect, a solid hit, and time will be kind to his latest film, Red One. The Christmas action caper is now available on Amazon Prime, where it was always intended to be, after a disappointing box office where it failed to recover its budget, not to worry about additional marketing costs, but the sad thing is, in fact. not even a bad movie.

Actors Understanding the Role

I went to the opening weekend of the theater to see it Red One and my friend, we intended to laugh at the movie, and instead, thanks to the power of Johnson and Chris Evans, we ended up enjoying ourselves. Not that the movie is a secret masterpiece or anything, but it features a blade-eating Santa played by JK Simmons, Lucy Liu as the movie's Nick Fury, Kiernan Shipka chewing up the scenery, and Kristofer Hivju, who you can see. like Game of Thrones' Torsmund Giantsbane, as Krampus in a scene-stealing performance. The sum is not greater than the parts, but everyone involved understood the assignment.

Red One begins with Chris Evans as Jack O'Malley, a criminal, a thief, a tracker, and a very bad boy who steals candy from a child. Dwayne Johnson is Callum Drift, a name that exists with Max Power as far as “fake names someone thinks they sound good”, who happens to be an ELF (Enforcement, Logistics, and Fortification) commander, and a capable one. one facial expression during the entire film. The two cross paths after Santa is kidnapped and Christmas is in danger of being cancelled, prompting the MORA (Mythological Oversight and Restoration Authority) into action.

From Funny Laughs to Rooting for Santa

The layout of Red One it's incredibly predictable and simple, but it's also kind of fun. No one takes the film seriously, and that gives it an absurd power that is not present in many blockbusters of 250 million, which is the budget of this film, and no, you cannot see it on the screen because most of the special effects. they look like they're straight out of the original SyFy series. I will say that the evil snowmen look a lot better in the movie than in the trailer, but what was hidden was Johnson shrinking and growing like Ant-Man during the fight scenes, an effect that looks bad every time it happens.

Anyway its shortcomings, Red One it's fun because it's a throwback to the Christmas movies of the 80s and 90s, which they weren't afraid to point out small audience. Compared to other modern Christmas classics, such as the mysteriously popular The Polar Expressit's a breath of fresh air for at least trying to do something different. It's also fun to watch Evans continue his post-Captain America career of playing scumbags.

Red One is now available on Amazon Prime, which is where it was always meant to be until the Writer's Strike last year delayed the release, and Amazon decided to fill the hole in the movie schedule. I predict that now that it is available to watch at home, this will become a classic Christmas cult film. At first, it will be a strange hobby, but in time, laughing at the movie will gradually change into laughing with the dumbs of the movie, and you will try to cool down and be trapped outside, but inside, you. I can't wait to see Santa Claus in all his glory. I know because it happened to me.
