RED ONE....


Bevo&Pevo

We watched it tonight. It was a pretty good watch and might stand up over the long run.  Cast members in Dwayne Johnson, Chris Evans, JK Simmons and Lucy Liu.  Using current Hollywood talent that today's audiences recognize will help with the "sell" of the movie.  Krampus and Gryla might be too intense for some younger kids, but overall I'd watch again next year.

Google tells me that this movie had a budget of 250 million, and that it was released a month ago. 
 

somehow, this is the first I’ve heard of its existence. Not a great sign for recouping that quarter billion. 

Only made $167m worldwide at the box office when it was in theaters

Haven’t watched it, probably won’t but it’s already in the conversation of most expensive flops of all time. Box office was so bad, they apparently accelerated the rollout to Prime. Johnson was reportedly paid a ridiculous $50,000,000, which is a giant hurdle to overcome right out of the gate. 

Of course, none of this means it’s not watchable in some way (I like looking at “smoke” chicks on the beach). I also need to justify that $139+ tax I shell out for Prime every year… what the hell, cue it up!

I'm not super into Christmas movies and CGI dominant movies, nor have I liked anything that the Rock has done outside of Moana and Jumanji.  For whatever reason though I watched this last night, and I actually liked it for what it was.  My expectations could not have possibly been lower, but still.  I doubt I'll re-watch ever, but it was kind of fun.

I enjoyed it more than I thought I would because I was with my 11 and 9 year old sons in the theater, eating way too much popcorn, and drinking big sodas.  We don't do that enough. 

I feel bad that I almost tried to convice the 9 year old, who was the one who wanted to go, that we shouldn't based on the reviews.  Lesson learned. Just take the kids to see what they want to see and roll with it.
