Qualcuno salvi il Natale 2

2018 - "Hey, let's do a movie about Santa being stuck on earth on Christmas and he needs this dysfunctional family's help to get the presents delivered!"

2020 - "Hey, let's do another Santa movie, except this time let's take out everything that made it work the first time, throw in a ton of questionable CGI in every freakin' shot and let's gear it toward little kids . . and THEN, let's litter the entire movie with subtitles THAT THEY CAN'T READ!! That oughta work, right??"

Total mess . . it's like a horribly animated CGI version of Gremlins, written and directed by the guy who wrote . . . (wait for it . . ) GREMLINS!!!!

Way to go, one-trick-pony . . .

I like the first movie, but The Christmas Chronicles 2 seems like a slapped-together sequel. The writing is lazy and tries to cram in as much exposition as possible in every line to hurry the muddled story along. The characters don't talk or react like normal people would. The villain is also very weak. I'm not quite sure why they cast Julian Dennison as Belsnickel. There is some magic in The Christmas Chronicles 2, but I expected more from Chris Columbus.

Not as good as the first.. but come on..Kurt Russell is the best Santa in forever lol!! And Goldie as Mrs. Clause!! Number 3??? Yes PLEASE!!

I think people are thinking too much into the first film. This is a great family Christmas film. Kurt Russel has done it again with playing an outstanding role of Santa Claus.

The original was cheesy and awesome, this was just cheesy. The first felt magical and captivating as the interactions with human life, really hit home about the belief required for Christmas. This film was way over the top with the CGI, the plot was shocking, and the part of Belsnickel was played terribly.

The kid can certainly play the part of a pissed off arsonist on Deapool 2 easily, a disgruntled elf however........no, just no.

Please just watch number 1 again as this film will ruin your Xmas movie night.
