Well I enjoyed it

I see a lot of negativity and naysaying on this board, but what I can say, I went and saw the movie and thought that it was a fun film.

It's an action blockbuster wrapped up in a Christmas package, and it is the fresh wrapping that made it fun for me. Without that, it would've been just another CGI-laden action film, but the way that it plays with the Santa Claus mythology gives the movie a feeling of freshness and novelty that helped to hold my interest and keep me invested.

My expectations were low going into it but it exceeded them. I'm sure I'll pick the film up on Blu-Ray once it comes out and it will be one of those Christmas movies, like Jingle All the Way, that I won't necessarily feel compelled to watch every single year but it will make it back into the rotation every three or four years or so.

I will give it a 7/10.
