So, I'm sitting here watching The Santa Clause 3 and this movie just sucks..ever since it came out it has sucked. Let me just say though..the first Santa Clause movie is one of my favorite movies....but they should have stopped with the first one. One of my biggest pet peeves is when they make a really good movie and then they try to keep making money off of it by making a 2 and a 3 and a 4..etc...and it seems the more they make...the worse they get (with some exceptions of course.) The Santa Clause movies are definitely progressively worse.
The Santa Clause:
Like I said above...the first Santa Clause movie is awesome! It's full of magic and as a kid I remember thinking that it was like my all time favorite movie...next to a couple others. Tim Allen is a great actor and even the little kid is a good actor. The storyline is fantastic, slightly upsetting cause Santa fell off the roof and died..but overall it's a feel good movie. The guy who plays Neil is hilarious with his Christmas sweaters and what not and the wife is a good actress as well. Bernard is a great, funny elf who just pops out of no where and adds comic relief to a serious situation. All the elves have an innocence about them and it just really feels like it's an actual "plausible" storyline, especially for a little kid.
The Santa Clause 2:
Alright..so I only seen this movie once, but that was way more than I needed to see it. Since I have only seen it once...years ago...I don't exactly remember it. I do remember however that there is a robot/toy version of Tim Allen because Tim Allen has to find a wife. First off...haven't we learned anything from movies that it's never a good idea to leave a robot in charge of ANYTHING. Secondly, why didn't anyone tell Mr. Santa that he needed to find a wife in eight years...why eight years anyways? So while Santa is away trying to get hitched they leave the robot who destroys everything and almost ruins Christmas....sounds like a great plan guys...and a great idea for a movie...NOT! Who the heck wants to watch that? Oh and Mrs. Claus just happens to be the principal of his son, Charlie, who despite knowing his father is Santa and having been to the North Pole and loves his dad and blah blah...is still on the naughty list. It just doesn't make sense. If you didn't upset your child already...why not go out..and marry his principal...yeah that sounds great! Lastly...the robot Santa is just creepy. No kid wants to watch that.
The Santa Clause 3:
This movie is just upsetting... I really like Martin Short and although he is a good actor, I just don't understand why he is in this movie. First off, Mrs. Clause is pregnant in the beginning of the movie and Tim Allen decides to invite Carol (Mrs. Clause) parents up to the North Pole. But wait! Here's the best part of all this..he doesn't tell the parents he's Santa...instead it's SOOO much easier to make them believe that the North Pole is Canada...making the elves act like a bunch of Canadians....what? Just tell the stupid parents you're Santa and get on with it already...is it really that much easier to turn the North Pole into Canada? Then they take like more than half of the movie to show how terrible a person Santa Clause is to his wife and to his wife's parents because he's too busy to spend time with them on Christmas. Uhm..hello! HE'S SANTA! Of course he's busy a week before Christmas, duh! If you wanted to actually spend time with Santa you should have thought about all the crap he has to do before you got married to him...and not complain when he doesn't have enough time to spend with you. Then if this isn't a great image for children...Santa knocks the tree over and has a fight with his pregnant wife and their parents...goes outside to talk to Frost...and tells Frost that he doesn't want to be Santa anymore and BAM! Frost tricks him because you know Frost is just sooo jealous that he's not Santa. I know that Frost is trying to destroy Christmas in the beginning of the movie and what not, but Santa is Santa...they should portray Santa as children think of him...like Superman! But more awesome because he gives you presents! I honestly think that the 2nd Santa Clause is worse than this one, but they both just suck so much I'm not even going to waste time explaining why the other one is worse. I just don't understand how they started out with such a good concept and it just like slid wayyyyyyyyy downhill. If they make another one, I don't know what I'll do with myself. Its' just ridiculous storylines. And! the elf helper kid...what's his name...Curtis! He annoys the crap out of me..just get off the screen..you're not an elf. Oh and....North Pole amusement park? No....just no Jack Frost...get over yourself and just stop.
That is all..
Thank you for reading my rant.. :D
