Critics Pan Dwayne Johnson's Christmas Movie Red One

The upcoming Christmas movie 'Red One', starring Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans, has received overwhelmingly negative reviews ahead of its release on November 15. Critics have panned the film for its lack of holiday spirit and overreliance on digital effects, with Rotten Tomatoes scores hovering around 33-40%. Reviewers described it as a misguided holiday effort that feels more like a chaotic mishmash of genres rather than a cohesive film, with some calling it a 'CG-saturated bore' and others noting it lacks charm and heart. Despite its star-studded cast, including J.K. Simmons and Lucy Liu, many critics believe it fails to deliver the festive cheer expected from a holiday movie. The film's release coincided with significant political events, potentially overshadowing its critical reception. It is projected to open with a disappointing $35 million at the box office, raising questions about its target audience and overall appeal.
