As someone who loves Halloween, I look at "Red One" and see 'formulaic crowd pleaser' produced by Amazon MGM. On the poster, you see JK Simmons (aka Spider-Man's J. Jonah Jameson) as fit looking Santa Claus, with Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, Chris Evans, Lucy Liu and a large polar bear in red and green tactical wear. Christmas lore! Actors from big blockbusters! Action! Comedy! A talking bear! Reindeer! Throw it all in and hope for a hit.
