Red One has been taken and Bryan Miller/Liam Neeson is not available: basically; it is Christmas Eve and Santa Claus/other names [J. K. Simmons:] is busy getting ready for his journey that he makes once a year, but someone takes him; Callum Drift [Dwayne Johnson:] he is the head of Saint Nicholas security detail and he works for E. L. F. [Enforcement Logistics and Fortification,] as the Head of Security for the North Pole, but he has handed in his notice; it is decided by Zoe Harlow  [Lucy Lu:] she works for M. O. R. A. [Mythological Oversight and Restoration Authority] that the should bring in someone that had something to do with this situation  Jack O'Malley/other name [Younger Jack: Wyatt Hunt/Order:Chris Evans:] he is a computer hacker and he works for anyone that pays him, but more importantly he is a level 4 naughty-lister.

Generally speaking: the script, framework and pacing of this 123 minutes film is well for reopening section it is everything you come to expect with a Christmas/Holiday film which it just doesn't need, which in turn makes the framework and pacing predictable and tiresome, but when it decides to actually stand out and get some identity; then it is good.

Comedy, action and art; we have a couple of references to wonder woman and on the whole when this film does warm up it is good-natured comedy, speaking of superheroes; they took the basic concept of Ant-Man/Giant-Man and minus the ants and giant concepts [if or when you watch this project this will make much more better sense.] For those that have impressionable children/teenagers I should give you a healthy bit of advice I really don't know how wise it was to include this game Krampusschlap [better known as Slap Fighting Championships: yes this is the real sport and yes it really does knock people out as the basic description is; you have one shot each to put your opponent down; you basically go around the side of your opponent's face/ear area and tried to hit that as hard as you can; you have been warned.] The action and art in the very latest stages of this massive action sequences is beautifully dark and well thought out.

Character developments, performances and voice performances; the characters developments are reliably good versions of what they are meant to be for this time of year [Christmas period/Holiday period,] the performances and voice performances; I am not going to sugarcoated here; it is all down to the complete casting of this project to make this film remotely stand out as if to make this complete world believable and in a nice way seen completely normal with excellent and fluent chemistry mostly throughout [as I have already indicated when it wants to stand out.]

This film receives: 7/10, this film is good; when it stops hitting every cliché of what a Christmas/Holiday movie should be and actually steps into its own movie then as I have already said it is good. But away from that; I do stress concern about this project's financial budget and/or ability to make a profit. You see this project has a budget of somewhere in the region of apparently $200 million-$250 million I have seen someone's post that said even higher. But let's work with the figures I can find, I am not sure if this title has the ability to make a grand total of let's be reasonable $400 million or higher. I mean let's start with the date of release UK 06/11/2024 which puts it in direct competition with Paddington in Peru 2024 release date 08/11/2024 UK. Which yes I have been around films long enough to know that Paddington is built for families of the younger age range, but this film is built for families of a next slight age bracket up. But I still wouldn't put this movie up against Paddington in the UK market, because hypothetically there is only going to be one winner here and as Paddington is an iconic figure in my country good luck trying to make a dent in that budget. I should point out to Red One US date of release is 15/11/2024.

Which I have to be honest is why? As in why didn't they release it on 28/11/2024 US Thanksgiving day or 01/12/2024 has it is a Christmas/Holiday movie, you know when people start opening their advent calendars, this would have made much more better sense. But as it is from an unbiased perspective if I had anything to do with the budget and hopeful profit margin putting this politely my hair would be going quicker grey from the potential stress; especially when I have just done a little bit of research of when this content was first dictated this project has just made over $26 million over its opening weekend period.
