I think the film is worth it just to see an overly buff J.K. Simmons as the most ripped Santa since... well, Santa with Muscles. This isn't going to replace anyone's favorite Christmas movie, but it is a fun romp with Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans buddying around. Plus, Krampus - you can't go wrong with that guy.

For a movie with such a crazy idea, it was kind of boring. It went by quickly and didn't feel like 2 hours. But the cool stuff like fighting snowmen or meeting Krampus are not fleshed out as much as expected. J.K. Simmons is a good Santa Claus. Chris Evans had some funny moments but Dwayne Johnson looked bored. Some nice CGI eye-candy and a few decent action scenes here and there.

I enjoyed the movie much more than I expected. I found it very well done. I expect to buy a copy.
