I liked the movie. The theme was crazy but I still liked the film. I have liked a movie that got a bad review and have walked out of a movie that got a good review.

Don't listen to the critics, they have no idea. This is a solid action movie with an insane premise.

Everything in the movie is played 100% straight - pretty much just like the trailers setup. There's a couple moments that might make you grin, but there's really no laughs at all. It isn't a comedy. This is a true 'What if Santa was real'

situation that takes the next logical step and goes to 'what if santa pissed off the wrong people with his gift/coal giving activities'

Surprisingly great chemistry between Santa (Mel) and his wife (Marianne Jean-Baptiste), there's awesome little tidbits of an expanded lore/explanation for elves, santa's immortality, arrangements with the US government, implication that Santa has been fighting off people for a long time (centuries?).

It's just... so, so weird.

It doesn't 100% commit to turning Santa into a John Wick style maniac, and it doesn't go for jokes. It takes that one concept and runs with it and never second guesses itself.

It truly is - "What if Santa was real" - and the very real implications of that… Expand

A gritty Santa clause tale seeking for hope in a grimy future. Mel Gibson is good as always here, but cookie stealer was definitely Walton goggins as a assassin. The premise is simple but good characterization really helped here. The actionA gritty Santa clause tale seeking for hope in a grimy future. Mel Gibson is good as always here, but cookie stealer was definitely Walton goggins as a assassin. The premise is simple but good characterization really helped here. The action is serviceable but some of the background score was a bit out Place. Camerawork was good enough. With some weird choices made. Although the pacing is a bit slow, definitely rewards the viewer for staying till the end.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Fatman is a good Christmas action movie with an original view on Santa’s life. Mel Gibson is very believable as immortal Chris with a gun protecting his winter house and hardworking elves.… Expand

Quite a silly premise, but actually pulled off quite well. While the plot did drag on for long time till any action and the whole action part is packed in some short tiny space, I still enjoyed watching it and was nice.

While the plot did drag on for long time till any action and the whole action part is packed in some short tiny space, I still enjoyed watching it and was nice. Only maybe action part should've been longer and made a bit differently. But was nice movie and completely different idea from the usual Christmas movies which is nice.… Expand
