Critics Consensus

Wrapped in slick packaging but wholly lacking in holiday magic, Red One is a ho-ho-hum action-adventure.

Audience Says

Led by The Rock, the entire ensemble delivers ample servings of naughty and nice that may leave you humming, “Oh what fun it is to ride in a Red One open sleigh.”

Katie Walsh

Tribune News Service

A confounding project that is clearly trying to be for all audiences (it’s weirdly kiddie-oriented, but feels more aimed at adults) and is so bad it ends up being for none.

Rated: 1/4

AV Club

The aggressively secular and gift-based systems of Red One are almost enough to prompt a moist-eyed holiday wish for more piously churchy seasonal entertainment.

Rated: C-

Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)

This is the big American blockbuster of the week, and it is absolute crap.

The Movie Cricket

Together [Johnson and Evans] are going to discover the true spirit of Christmas, not because either of them feel it but because the movie will get a crappy CinemaScore rating without it.

Rated: 1.5/4

Every trick and plotline you’ve seen in superhero movies of the last 20 years get brought into Red One only less interesting, and worse to look at.

Bloody Awesome Movie Podcast

This film felt as cold as a polar bears buttocks. Not much fun or merriment to be had. It's unfortunate because there is room for a mythology-driven film series, but this one just isn't it.

Loved this movie. I did find that it lacked something to wrap it up to make it a 5. But it was a great Christmas movie and the acting was great! And had lots of funny moments.
