Absolutely wonderful! I would give this a 20 out of 10 if I could. It was refreshing to see a new Christmas film with emphasis on the story and characters. (I know I always waffle on about that, but it is important. It's what makes a film tick for me.) There were moments that could be quite hard to watch, especially for anyone who's lost someone close due to death. However, don't let that put you off, because the overall film is a feel-good, uplifting family movie with a true Christmas spirit throughout. About time they made such a wonderful film like this.
Of course, this film is also guaranteed a 10 from me, simply because they have not one - but TWO Christmas songs recorded by Elvis Presley. It didn't surprise me to learn that Santa is played by Kurt Russell, who not only starred as Elvis in a 1979 biopic, but he also starred WITH the great man himself as the shin-kicking boy in "It Happened At The World's Fair."
This movie was incredible! Definitely being added to our families annual Christmas must-watch list!
One of the best Christmas movies out there! A holiday turns into a disastrous adventure with plenty of laughs!
[spoiler] I will rate this film Santas Hat/10 [/spoiler]
Santa is real so stfu
Santa is Elvis...or at least Kurt Russell's version of the big fella. This is a mix of "The Santa Clause" and "Adventures in Babysitting" with pretty darn fantastic CGI effects, a crackling quick pace, and some legitimate laughs. Don't miss this new Santa movie...better than most of the Santa adventures out there. 9/10
Really liked it. Specially the ending.
A modern, but magical Christmas movie. It's very enjoyable, but nothing new. Personally, many themes and settings reminded me of Rise of the Guardians (which I prefer), but there's joy in familiarity as well.
Note that I'm not a fan of when Santa is written as kind of mean just to seem "modern", the lines about Santa's weight are never necessary and just gives it a bad vibe. Wish they had skipped them as it just feels so out of place, there are other ways to make a family movie relatable to adult viewers.
This movie is Family movie and i include it in My Favourite Family movies List.
