The Christmas Chronicles

This movie was very enjoyable for adults and kids in the family. Cinematic quality was excellent, had a good script, acting was great, and the Santa character is the best I've seen or read since The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. We'll watch this again a few times this Christmas season.

The Christmas chronicles 1 was awesome, but Christmas chronicles 2 was. Soooo full of adventures and laughs, warm Christmas scenes, Kurt Russell owned this movie, he was excellent, and Goldie played a great part to, I can,t think of anyone better to have played Santa than Kurk Russell, my grandkids want to watch the chronicles over and over, especially 2.they have even watched it when it wasn't Christmas time. I hope he knows how much the kids even the adults enjoy these movies, I know i do. I do hope in the future there's a chronicles 3, but it has to be better but just as good..

We watched this as we let out thanksgiving meal settle. It was the perfect choice for the kids (age range 5-12) and the parents. The acting was fine and the jokes were funny. I even got a little choked up at times when they talked about their recently deceased dad. All in all, a fine film. Probably not an instant classic, but good enough to watch and not feel like I wasted 1.5 hours of my life. I loved the new interpretation of elves as almost gremlin-like creatures.

Kurt Russell brings total coolness to the magic of Santa. Without Russell's personality, it wouldn't feel original but his presence brings the story to life. Some moments feel a little twee admittedly but a lovely tale with just the right amount of wit and character from the young actors.

My new favorite Christmas movie! I have lived to the perfect age, long enough to see Kurt Russell protray Santa and he is perhaps the best, most endearing, Santa I have seen in many a moon. Both my son and myself hope that Netflix will make this an annual event and perhaps a series of Santa movies with Mr. Russell!
