'Not to be hyperbolic, but there is an evil soul to this movie.' I want that on a t-shirt
This movie cost more money than either of the Dune movies. That's insane.
Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous😞
wow that is damning. There's some money laundering going on with these types of films for real.
@@MistaZULEDesign by boardroom is genuinely just that fucking awful. No foul play here, just horrible decisions.
@@budgetcommander4849 possibly, but then the executive producer cut must be half the budget of the film because there's no way that budget went into that polar bear cgi.
@@budgetcommander4849 actually no. It absolutely is that. The Rock got paid 50 mil for this movie, and his production company also made the movie. (As far as I'm aware) It basically is actually money laundering.
nadia looks so concerned as jake is losing his mind
canonically accurate Woman Carrying Man
@@dbagette Woman carrying Sanity
Jake and Nadia’s offspring will have the most refined tastes the world has ever seen
The trailers looked like a fake movie from Tropic Thunder or something
95% of The Rock's filmography is Tugg Speedman.
Where's his SIMPLE JACK?
My first thought was that this movie looked like the fake movie from Scrooged. The concept of this movie was a joke in the 80’s
tropic thunder really dragged bad movies. always thought jack and jill was one of these too
@@benkersten1705 that's exactly what i thought! The Night The Reindeer Died 💀 (actually that'd probably be more entertaining)
I hadn't through if it this way but it's SO TRUE!
Yaa this was produced by Amazon and Santa is a buff bald tech guy who runs a corporation delivering boxes to people supported by govt agencies? Hmmmmm.....🤔
Okay that makes sooooo much sense
Nadia being very demure, very mindful. Jake questioning why we even invented motion picture cameras if it all led to this.
Watching the clip of Dwayne Johnson talking about this movie going to IMAX after seeing Oppenheimer is probably the only funny thing to surround this... event
The thing is 'Santa is a corporation' has been done before. It's basically the plot of 'Arthur Christmas' and that's about the old ways vs the new, mega corp ways of Santa. It's silly and very sweet.
I enjoyed Arthur Christmas!! had better animation too :-)
Great movie!
Polar Express had it to a degree as well, though much more toned down I think
@@LordVader1094a heavy part of this movie doing corporate Santa is the way Santa is characterized in this film, he’s basically grindset Santa.
Except this film isn't "corporate santa" this is a step beyond to "libertarian corporate nation-state santa" where he has seceded from other governemental entities of the world, allowing him to force his workers to work 364 days a year (save boxing day) with no weekends all in service of his desires. There are no government or human rights oversight - santa wields absolute power in the nation of the north pole and he uses that power to MAKE. THEM. WORK.....
Also he has a totally hot and super supportive wife that would NEVER dream of divorcing old saint Nick for half his worth. No. Never. She loves the worker exploitation just as much as her husband.
This isnt capitalism - this is a 1%ers libertarian oligarchical wet dream.
(also, its eluded to the fact that those working there don't actually have the option of leaving. They are effectively slaves:
They work 364 days a year and the rest of the world doesn't even know they exist while simultaneously they surrounded by the harsh conditions of the north pole outside the bubble. We only see Santas leaving and coming to his nation state, there is no other transport besides the sleigh.... They are effectively trapped there as perpetual workers, never having time to themselves save for boxing day for some reason. Its a genuine nightmare)
The bar for these movies is "would my time be better spent sitting in a dark room doing nothing for 90 minutes."
Just like you can say about a bad newspaper that "trees had to die for this", you can say about a film of literally no merit that "this helped cause climate change".
No, it is "would I rather be doing math"
Actually, the bar is lower. Sitting in a black room is second screen enough. It works.
This film will change of the hierarchy of the Christmas movie universe
I thought this was the sequel to Red Notice and I'm not joking
Fr though
Wait it’s not?
Everyone did. Everyone thought that.
To be fair, Dwayne Johnson does play the same character.
i thought it WAS red notice
I don’t think anyone can say they ‘Saw’ this film. They were exposed to it. Like the elephants foot at Chernobyl.
Ofc they didn't. 'Saw' is a very different film and has nothing to do with christmas or the rock
The movie Arthur Christmas is kinda the same Santa’s a corporate thing and there’s a bunch of tech and focused on the practicality but it is self aware and is about how that destroys Christmas and Arthur the main character is the one who has the magic and what not. It’s basically what you were asking for and is really sweet.
Was literally thinking about that movie during the review
Yes! Jake, Nadia; if you’ve not seen Arthur Christmas: that should be this years Christmas film that you guys watch for Christmas and is new - it’s fantastic.
My favorite Christmas film of the 2000s.
I mean The Santa Clause also focuses on Santa as a CEO, except that trilogy (I’ve not watched the series and I don’t plan to) is actually funny
@ you’re right I wasn’t thinking of that as much just because that ones not as tech bro and mostly just magic stuff
It’s like Arthur Christmas but they think Arthur’s brother is right
Omg
🤯
Coming to Netflix next year: Steve Christmas
I love Nadia being very "well, it wasn't THAT bad" meanwhile Jake is losing his fucking mind over how awful the film was. Perfect dynamic for movie reviews, everyone else, take notes
"What if Santa was Homelander? You know, THE GOOD GUY!"
-the director/Dwayne Johnson, apparently
No offense to JK Simmons, full offense to the script writer and producers - Santa being a jolly fat guy to play off The Rock being a stern, no-nonsense, ripped guy is a comedy no-brainer. He's gonna be kidnapped for most of the movie, have the early stuff just be goofball heartwarming Santa talking about how he loves to make children happy and stuff, and Decimatus Vanguard or whatever the Rock is called is out going "We know there's someone out there who can ruin Christmas, and I have to protect it."
I love how this video starts with Jake immediately baring a thousand yard stare. Out of everything, this is the one that broke him
So it's a subtle techbro-fascist propaganda christmas action comedy starring a roided out narcissist and cheap CGI. Just delightful. Just what the world needed in these trying times.
Name one tech CEO who spends his Christmas Eve giving out toys to kids for free
easy zero
Gabe Newell would actually be perfect for that.
@@hosvet_animationdoes gabe even count as a tech ceo? I mean logically he must but he just doesn't fit the vibe at all I can't picture it
Random list of Xmas movies better than this disaster:
- Hogfather: the movie where death has to pretend to be santa.
- Krampus: genuine Christmas horror movie.
- Die Hard: I know calling it a Christmas movie is tired at this point. Still more heartfelt than this movie though. Less torture too.
- Tokyo Godfathers: protagonists are three homeless people in Japan. If I had to really recommend a single one, it would be this.
I'd like to add the Holdovers. Not necessarily a Christmas movie (more of a coming of age drama/comedy) but it's set at Christmas and Christmas is a big part of the film. Beautiful and genuinely touching movie.
Thanks for the recommendation, I really look forward to watching Tokyo Godfathers the premise seems very interesting!
Adding in "Klaus", the animated movie on Netflix. It's a beautiful 2d animated movie with a lot of heart
@@areafire1 Klaus is so good. The story is neat and different from the usual Xmas animation fare, but the visuals take it to the next level! Good rec!
@@RoshanMLiyakathtokyo godfathers is so peak, you wont regret it
There has never been a more non-movie. This doesn’t exist I refuse to believe it. That poster and title are ai generated.
We have all been secretly captured by aliens who locked us into a simulation to harvest power from our disappointment.

0:49 this is your public service announcement to go watch Arthur Christmas if you want the things he's listing
Bro....
This guys hair, beard and glasses ccombo....
Perfect for a shop keeper in the old west. Seriously imagine him in a bowler with a white shirt and black waistcoat....
And yea... he's heard some things, maybe a quest or two, but it'll cost ya.
Jeff Bezos is Santa, yikes. Next year everyone will receive notices that gift-receiving is now an opt-in subscription-only service, but, as previous users, you can get 10% off.
I agree that this movie looks like it has an evil soul.
The trailers made it look like one of those factory films that they spit out to make some money, and not an actual story people wanted to tell. This review seems to just confirm that.
Did you guys see it in IMAX? You really can't fully understand the movie if you don't see it in IMAX. I cried seventeen times and converted religions by the second act.
I admire you for even bothering to watch it at all. I saw the trailer and its quality was obvious.
I feel like if they actually cared and didn't want to make the most corporate Christmas movie ever, it would be somewhat similar to Central Intelligence if you combined it with Elf: Dwayne Johnson being a whimsical elf who is freaking out because nothing bad had ever happened to Santa before and is just a massive dork who is comedically strong, and he has to team up with the cynical, often annoyed supernatural agent who insist that this is serious but Johnson's character is a big old optimist that treats the missions like games.
I misunderstood your comment and thought you were just describing movie, but now that I know that isn’t what the movie is, I have to wonder what exactly Johnson’s characterization is like in this movie if not strong goofball. I haven’t seen it.
You almost convinced me to go hate watch it until the bit about torture. I hate how torture is portrayed as effective and necessary in media. Torture doesn't work because t doesn't provide good intelligence. Oh ya, and its also morally repugnant. But you wouldn't know that from our media landscape
It was a hug from talking polar bear.
@@ExtremeMadnessX For sure, and next thing you know polar bear hugs or whatever kinky thing the kids are calling it will be defended by Antonin Scalia like he did with Jack Bauer's waterboarding and fingercrackin'. Thanks Rock
Same, it makes me so uncomfortable how torture is portrayed in action movies. It’s part of what’s turned me off of them tbh
Womp womp

"No whimsy." 😂 Oh god, this is already so fricken funny.
"This movie wasnt all that good"
"THIS MOVIES SOUL IS EVIL."
Lmao
Damn, this movie depressed Jake for real
I’ve never seen Man get actually angry
Man carrying resentment
jake is onto something, cause that movie felt like straight up corporate capital P Propaganda
Tbh, the third reviewer was not contributing at all. Just lying there in amniotic fluid.
Film not worth being born for.
Jake, your thoughts on this were incredible to behold. I'm sorry, and thank you.
jake looks so defeated
Oh forgot to say films I watched in cinema recently that I really enjoyed were Wild Robot and Transformers One! Animated movies are really stealing my heart this year
9:19 missed a perfect opportunity to say 39 1/2 foot pole
Half a foot from greatness
Seeing Jake powering down on the armchair before the outro should be used in the ads for this movie.
Jake is actually in the emotional state early youtube movie critics pretended to be.
To cheer Jake up you guys should do a review of Look Back on prime video. :)
"Cheer up" 😂good one, but in all seriousness YES it's amazing and I know these two would love it.
Santa and his team being treated like a military operation that feels soulless? Oh Arthur Christmas and Prep + Landing called, they would like to talk with Red One.
"It's safe to say you don't recommend it?" 😆
I knew from the trailer alone that this film was going to be so abysmal that its very existence would be a stain on humanity.
I love how Jake loses no time just ripping into this 😆
I've only seen the trailer for Red One, but my biggest takeaway is that in this Christmas movie featuring other winter-themed mythological figures, they have a main character named Jack, and he isn't Jack Frost.
Nadia looks great hope the pregnancy is going well!
Jake had to wait a day to get all that out.
This movie gave me new-found appreciation for “Jingle all the way”, at least that movie had something vaguely relatable and human about it
I think Arnold is kinda a comedic genius too. The rock doesn't have the charisma of Arnold and he takes himself way too seriously.
Jingle all the way knew what it was and played into it.
What if Santa wasn't an immortal spirit of selfless generosity but a heartless cog in the military industrial complex instead? 🤔
Awhile back, while watching that yt doc about the Disney channel bumper music, there was a portion that has always stuck with me. One of the brand managers for Disney channel is speaking about her time there. A year before Finding Nemo had a trailer release, they had already started placing fish/ocean/aquarium themed bumpers on the channel. This was to get kids watching, into the upcoming film. Then movie comes out, then toys are advertised, a nice little ecosystem, that starts with the ideas being sparked early on. TV and Movie execs have understood this for decades.
I agree, the shift to say “corporate is family and corporate is myth” in larger media, in hand with how ads are also trusted as truth, and no pushback on social media ( ads in your life 80% of your wake time) .. I do think it’s a big deal to point out.
It's like if you gave AI a prompt to make a Christmas Hollywood romp
Only The Dwayne "The Rock" The Johnson could star in a movie about Santa Clause and still demand being the centre of attention.
When Jake said Krampus is "related to Christmas" I jokingly said to myself, "by blood or adopted?" so imagine my reaction when, TEN SECONDS LATER, Nadia said he's Santa's adoptive brother
Honestly I was thinking of watching this because I was hoping it would be a fun bad movie to put on in the background and laugh at but this discussion makes me feel like I shouldn’t bother haha. There’s a tv channel where I live that plays only Christmas romcoms all day everyday and I have so much fun having them on in the background lol, I’ll probably stick to those instead haha
It's okay, you're safe here. Dwayne can't torture you for not giving a low score.
The first few minutes of this film are genuinely interesting (not in the way the movie intends but still).
The whole aspect of Santa (Red) getting escorted by F-22s on his way back to his libertarian corporate nation-state with his hot wife where he lifts weights and is in charge and so so cool. all wrapped in and around this utter contempt for the working class/consumer that the rock and santa sees around them at the mall.....
Its genuinely interesting to watch unfold on the screen and you cant help but think that someone like or near Jeff Bezos himself wrote out the concept/structure of the film as its basically his wet dream.......
Then the movie becomes utter garbage when he is kidnapped.
First time ever seeing one of your videos (thanks algorithm), and I love this review! You two are entertaining & bring a well-rounded view to it. It feels just like my wife & I talking about a movie leaving the theater! Gonna have to subscribe and stay tuned for more 😁
I haven’t watched a video from either of you in a while so this was my first time noticing, congrats on the baby! I hope they feel so loved
so santa is elon musk the way elon musk wants to see himself?
Oh my god I didn't know there was a woman carrying the man who carries the thing. By transitive property she carries the thing.🤔 Thank god nothing has to carry her cuz then we'd be in a mathematical conundrum.
Eyes Wide Shut is a more emotionally uplifting movie than this
I saw a preview for this movie and my soul left my body. How am I to convince my kids that we can't go see it?
I will always stand by my argument that Chris Evans is much more fun to watch when he plays a villain.
This movie was fun. Dwayne Johnson thrives in disaster movies, and that's really all this was.
Did I leave the theater with my world shattered, questioning my own sense of right and wrong? No. Did I leave the theater with a new memory of my family all laughing at a ridiculous movie together? Yes.
I'm sorry you sat through that but I'm thankful for the humor
This is my first video of yours. I love it.
"a level 8 badlister?"
Nadia, the "magicing away feces" thing involved wizards taking a dump wherever they happened to be when they had to take a dump and then magicing it away. It's not like they magiced feces out of their bodies, which would be a whole different thing, in my opinion.
Magic enema.
but where's the shit pile? What do they do with it? Just let it build and build and build? and after a few decades that place will be a biohazard on the scale of Chernobyl. It's honestly a terrifying thought if you think about it for more than a minute
@@MistaZULE1) shit is a fertilizer, not biohazard 2) theres no shit pile because they dont teleport it, they erase it from existence
@@KOTEBANAROT enough human feces in one location definitely becomes a biohazard with what humans eat.
Fertilizers are made from herbivore feces with a diet exclusively of grasses. We eat meat, and modern diets are so full of chemicals to use human feces as fertilizer would toxify your soil.
There's a spell to remove things from existence? Then why didn't Voldemort use that spell instead of avada kedavra? Seems way easier to be an assassin if you can just magic the body away rather than leave it to be found by the Aurors.
The more I hear Harry Potter defense, the more the world makes no sense.
@@KOTEBANAROT So there's a spell that can magic something out of existence? Then why have Avada Kedavra at all? Just magic the person out of existence and there's no body to have to clean up.
Harry Potter universe makes no sense.
And yes, human feces is a biohazard. Fertilizer is made from herbivores' feces, not omnivores (which humans are).
can't wait till 20 years from now when hbomberguy uploads a 15 hour video essay about how red one officially marks the start of the 2nd cold war
5:00 you pretty much nailed the entire vibe of the film right here
no shock, the rock is always adjacent to slop
I mean, The Rundown was great.
And I thought he was funny (or at least funny-adjacent) in Be Cool... and Southland Tales is NOT good but it's fucking weird and interesting and people were making *choices*
Other than that though? Yeah.
that's an awfully hot coffee pot
Nadia and Jake as a father of two, 7 and 6, I'm so jealous that you have a newborn, I miss those days so much 🥹🥹🥹
I like to rate movies on a scale from -5 to 5, and this movie sounds like the embodiment of a 0, which is basically the worst thing a movie could do.
so -5 is "so bad it's good territory"? Or is a -5 like a barely held together train wreck of a film that you would see produced by a studio that went bankrupt to faulty loans years ago?
@@MistaZULE -5 is fantastically terrible film that I recommend to all my friends so they too can witness the dumpster fire train wreck, a 0 is a movie that might have managed to complete a story from beginning to end but that I will ultimately forget and was a waste of my time.
@@DinoMomPlays I like that rating system. I may have to borrow this idea because I have such a hard time describing to my friends "oh my god, this movie is terrible, it's awesome" vs "Oh my god, this movie is terrible, never watch it".
I watched this in IMAX, coincidentally in the same seat as Christopher Nolan sits. And to me? Red One? On THAT screen? Game changer.
There's also an animated show called Santa Inc. in which the North Pole is run like a corporation, so this take isn't even an original thought.
Monty python's spanish inquisition sketch has more magical christmas whimsy in its interrogation scene than this christmas movie
Honestly, I thought it was a sequel to Red Notice and its how about how Rock and Gal were now on first priority list on capture and how they plan to escape their pursuers.
No joke, this movie looks like a short story I wrote in fourth grade when I was obsessed with action movies and had to write a short story for Christmas. It's just as dumb, but someone in Hollywood saw this dumb idea as a script and greenlit it and I can't figure out why.
it's funny that some of potentially good concepts from this movie (that it ignores and squanders), the magic vs. technology thing for Christmas and turning Christmas into a business, are actually themes in and part of the plot of a much better movie: Arthur Christmas.
1:29 "There's BARELY any jokes."
That had to be accidental, but I love it.
Awww yu guys sre adorable and play off each other well i love the energy here definitely can't wait to see more movie reviews from yu guys subscribed!
Red One is the bare minimum of what can be called a movie
Jake really sounds angry lmao, this movie really looks like the most hollywood engineered film that's trying to appeal to everyone .
I got a Red One Ad on this video within a few seconds of the video playing lol
This is the type of movie boomers see and point to when they say "there's nothing good being made anymore."
Everytime the trailer come on in theaters was a good opportunity for a last minute piss break.
I’m going to be saying “where is the whimsy for the rest of my life.”
"Which we saw yesterday, through no fault of our own..."
Hey! Are yall gonna review Arcane season 1 now that Arcane season 2 is coming out? Would be awesome!
It's honestly hilarious that it's been weeks since this movie's release and the budget for the film is still not known but estimations keep going up by 10s of millions 😂
I'm not particularly plugged into the media landscape these days but I think it's telling that the first I heard of this movie was my YT feed suddenly filling up with people calling it garbage.
You know they only called this movie “red one” in hopes that’s if it did well they could do a “red two” and even “red three”
Litsen, i'm gonna say it: The idea of an action christmas movie sounds really fun! I mean, Violent Night shows that but it's clear Red One isn't the case...also, may i simply ask one little thing: WHY DOES RED ONE COST 250 MILLION DOLLARS!?!?
I didn't expect Man to be this mad at the movie.
When Gryla was talking about getting everyone on the naughty list and Dwayne Johnson was like “that would include Jaywalkers.”
I was sitting there like “so Santa is a cop in this movie why does breaking an arbitrary law make you naughty.”
This will be the most watched movie of 2024
