★☆☆☆☆
Useless and...disturbing.
Likely the worst "Christmas" movie ever.
Santa (Mel Gibson) is like an angry, drunk, cigar smoking Wolverine - who magically can't be killed either. He is not a happy or good Santa. He does not exude a love for children or humanity, but exemplifies the basest of humanity.
Had they made a weird serial killer movie that probe the mind of an insane killer on the hunt for a fictional Santa - this might have been watchable. This movie is useless on all fronts.
Thanks to living in our present PC Age, Santa is married to a no less jolly or uplifting Jamaican black middle-aged black woman with her hair shaved on sides of her head. Zero chemistry between the two and adds incredulity to characters. The roles are mostly reversed and it is she that becomes motherly and more wise to her husband. Such modern PC trash.
To end this horrible movie, the new bad*ass santa who has no issue killing, breaking into little kids homes to promise further brutality - somehow feels he is setting the standard for human morality. Pathetic and utterly useless.
