Leave your thoughts about Santa Claus: The Movie.
| Kansas City KansanSteve CrumColorful super spectacle suffers from script, pacing. |
| Movie ViewsRyan CracknellOne would expect a holiday epic with a title like Santa Claus: The Movie. It implies something definitive, which would therefore put it in the canon of Christmas classics. However, this is definitely not the case. |
| Common Sense MediaBrian CostelloDated '80s holiday movie has smoking, product placement. |
| Associated PressDolores BarclayA holiday honey of a film for the entire family. |
| Film FrenzyMatt BrunsonThe sets frequently look chintzy and cheap, with Santa's workshop bringing to mind a prison sweat shop as much as a toy factory. |
| User ReviewJohn MThis is the best Santa Claus film I have ever seen. If any film can make you believe in Santa, then this is it. |
| User ReviewStephen BThis is one of best 80s Christmas movie of all time ever, who truly to Believe Santa Claus |
| User ReviewTerry BCritics these days seem devoid of any nostalgic value, with ££££££$$$ clouding thier judgement. For one person to say this movie, "didn't make sense." It doesn't take an ounce of brain power to see this is Santa's origin story, explaining how he came to be, how his methods arouse, how he's able to do it all in one night and how change can affect many things. Patch is an idealist manufacturer, whereas puffy is a traditionalist and how society's attitude to christmas and the less fortunate span the decades. It's a bold flick, encompassing old tech that, although obviously dated, still holds up the magic of Christmas today. Why was BZ still alive floating in space? grr so dumb? Nay! The man just overdosed on a magical concoction of candy canes! This takes place in it's own movie universe where magic is real and able to overcome physics. It's a great movie, targeted at children not miserable humbug adults with thier indoctrinated opinions. |
