You know what's almost guaranteed to be a bad movie? Any movies specifically written to be a Christmas movie.
Seriously it's like wading through waist high sewage till something good drifts along.
So in likelihood of me to watch them:
You cannot comment on this without bringing up the Star Wars Christmas Special. Die hard fan since '77 and I can't even start it.
Yup. But like every tie in Christmas special hasn't been much better.
I think the only one tied to a pre-existing IP that was good was Pee-wee and that is easy cause he mocks everything the whole time.
It's tradition to skip Christmas specials when rewatching pretty much any IP.
