Actually this is one of the best Mel Gibson movies ... Top 20
It isn't the patriot or brave heart, but it is something
I don't understand the hate and why people didn't understand the movie, it is 2020 so Santa Clause has changed as people changed, U.S. military now controls Santa Clause and his elf teams factory and movements to protect him cause his safety considered as national security financially and socially
People aren't so nice anymore they became more aggressive due to capitalism which translates as taxes and heavy daily expenses they will attack someone like Santa Clause to steal him or even will be greedy if they didn't get the impossible wishes like getting parents back (Skinny man) or even just receiving a coal in a socket (Billy Wenan) who hired skinny man to kill him eventually
Even Santa has changed because of their cruelty and financial pressures which affected him too, he became depressed, he never wears the same red nice clothes and riding deers he is now riding a motorcycle and focusing on the night not just to give kids toys during their sleep but simply cause he really needs to avoid people during his working hours And above all he keeps guns under his bed.
This one of the best Mel Gibson Movies I've ever seen, Not Top 5 or 10 but of course Top 20
