Red One debuts with weak Rotten Tomatoes rating after first reviews
As a gamer with a soft spot for blockbuster films, I must admit my excitement when I heard about Red One. With a star-studded cast and a festive comedy premise, it seemed like a promising addition to the holiday movie lineup. However, after reading the less-than-stellar reviews, I find myself feeling a bit like Santa Claus on Christmas Eve – overwhelmed, underprepared, and hoping for a miracle.
Red One has debuted with a weak Rotten Tomatoes rating after its first reviews.
Under the direction of Jake Kasdan, this holiday-themed comedy centers around the Chief of Security at the North Pole (portrayed by Dwayne Johnson) and a notorious bounty hunter (played by Chris Evans), who embark on an adventure to safeguard Christmas.
The illustrious ensemble of actors is graced by the presence of J.K. Simmons, Lucy Liu, Kiernan Shipka, Bonnie Hunt, Nick Kroll, Kristofer Hivju, and Wesley Kimmel.
Red One is out now in the UK and will be released in US cinemas on November 15.
Earlier this month, the movie had varied responses upon its release. Now, it’s garnered a 32% score on the aggregated review platform based on 31 critiques.
The movie has received accolades from certain reviewers for gracefully blending humor and sentiment, but others have expressed that its storyline seemed disorganized and forgettable.
Below, you can find various perspectives from different critics on the movie “Red One”. Here’s Digital Spy’s opinion on it:
Digital Spy
Maybe, if ‘Red One’ becomes available on Prime Video in time for Christmas, it might be most suitable to watch it after dinner, when you’re feeling a bit drowsy and just need something to pass the time before ‘Doctor Who’ and ‘Gavin & Stacey’.
The Sun
A blend of ancient Germanic folklore tales and contemporary action-adventure stories, the intended demographic remains somewhat vague.
Empire Magazine
In a nutshell, this tale revolves around two individuals who’ve both grown disillusioned with Christmas for distinct causes. However, it frequently appears as though the story was crafted in a laboratory setting, aiming to deliver a festive spectacle rather than genuine emotion.
Screen International
As a movie enthusiast, I can tell you that the blend of humor, emotion, and adventure in this film will certainly captivate less critical viewers, making it an ideal choice for families. What sets this story apart is its creative world-building, providing a refreshing twist to what might otherwise be a formulaic narrative.
The Wrap
In essence, it’s only marginally better than the norm. For a movie such as “Red One”, that’s pretty much the best one could expect.
Variety
Red One bears a striking resemblance to what one might expect from a movie adaptation of Vampire Assassin 4. It’s packed with frenetic action, excessive digital effects, and seems to borrow heavily from generic violence-based narratives, all characteristic of entertaining yet formulaic kitsch.
The Guardian
A heartfelt movie for Christmas isn’t something to shy away from, but this overly commercial and predictable piece of entertainment feels more like a quickly forgotten toy, not even lasting until Boxing Day, but perhaps only till mid-November.
Red One is out now in UK cinemas and is released in US cinemas on November 15.
