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

Jesse Hassenger

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.

If “Red One” is meant to mark the beginning of the filmic Christmas season, the holidays ahead look to be more dismal than anything.

I guess in the end, it sort of works.

Film Frenzy

Closer in kinship to an MCU extravaganza like Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness than a Yuletide charmer like Miracle on 34th Street, this picture is busy busy busy as it sets up multiple storylines and creates new mythologies.

Rated: 2/4

definitely not a Christmas movie. I mean it's just it's this normalizing of evil that is just throughout the world (the devil's playground). The glorification of evil and it's just a big party. I barely remember the acting and story, just the evil scary storyline.
