Let me guess, this is going to be another attempt by The Rock to make his own franchise but it’s only going to get one installment like Red Notice, Skyscraper, Rampage, and San Andreas.

Is this a real movie? Or something you would see be parodied in something like Tropic Thunder

JK Simmons is great.
Dwayne makes me lose any hope for the movie. Not that I had much anyways since it looks like a dime-a-dozen Christmas ~~cashgrab~~ movie.
Chris Evans going from Avengers to *this* is pretty funny.

This movie is going to flop so fucking hard.

I’ll be honest, I didn’t think the trailer looked that bad. The little “oh my god” in the Krampus fight was fun
Though if I was a kid, I would probably think this movie was the coolest thing ever

This looks like the laziest piece of bullshit ever. Fuck this “movie.”

This looks like one of those fake movie posters you’d see in an open-world game like GTA or Spider-Man PS4 lmao.

This just makes me wonder when there is going to be a live-action version of the Smurfs starring Jason Momoa as Papa Smurf at some point very soon.

Quarter of a billion for a fucking Santa clause movie.

Since Dwayne isn’t Santa, I wonder how he will make it about himself?

I really, really wish that they had shot this on a vintage 2007 era Red One camera, just for the memes.

The premise seems fun enough for a lower budget Christmas film.
But Jesus Christ a quarter **billion** dollars?

This movie is definitely made for kids and the adults trashing it are the same ones who are always complaining about there being so few “original” ideas in Hollywood. It’s a funny enough premise that’s not based on any source material, with recognizable faces for its target demographic. It’s gonna be a dumb action movie for the holiday season, let’s judge it on those merits.
