I dont think its a Christmas movie..I also do not think die hard is one either.. but not too many agree with me. If we consider Die Hard a Christmas movie then Lethal Weapon should be too.
You are right about Die Hard. Just taking place during the Hiday period does not make it a Christmas movie. There’s death and explosions and terrorism. That’s not a Christmas movie. If that’s a person’s definition, I submit that they’d have to agree that a movie called Debbie Does the North Pole would hypothetical be a Christmas movie too.
LMAO, Kevin. I didn’t like the guy before, now I really think he’s a moron. Simply because a movie takes place during Christmas, doesn’t make it a Christmas movie. Same reason only part 1 of die hard is a Christmas movie and not 2, even though they both took place during the Holidays.
Release dates have nothing to do with it either. For it to be a Christmas movie, the holidays have to play a pivotal tole in the plot. And other than a few Christmas trees, there’s nothing about this movie that relied on Christmas as a focal point.
To make it clearer and to offer the best example you’ll see:
Die hard takes place during the holidays, at which point, John Maclaine(don’t remember the spelling) flies out to LA to try and use this time (a Christmas party at her work) to reconcile with his wife. And obviously we know how it turned out. Putting aside the fact that, had it not been a Christmas party he was invited to, he would’ve had no reason to go to LA at that exact point, let alone Nakatomi plaza. Not to mention the psychological warfare he played on them, using Christmas time rhetoric, ” now I have a machine gun, ho, ho, ho”.
Part 2 takes place during Christmas as well, but could’ve actually been any holiday that would drag John to the airport to pick up his wife.
So, in closing, simply putting a Christmas tree in the background, does NOT make it a Christmas movie. Christmas has to play a part in some way to the plot of the movie.
So, with that said, no, lethal weapon is not a Christmas movie either. 🤷
Absolutely not a Christmas movie! Makes no use of the season at all in anyway, so apart from being the worst Marvel, movie it definitely isnt a Christmas movie.
If die hard is a Christmas movie because it takes place at Christmas. Then so is Spider-Man No Way Home, I saw some Christmas stuff. Officially a Christmas movie.
I’ll need to re-watch over next week to decide myself – but it takes a tiny bit more (not much) than just simply having a lot of Christmas Decorations around.
– Needs at least a few moments of a Christmas-like music used effectively (not just walking past a choir singing)
– Needs some form of Christmas theme or moment (Think Gremlins, when they talk about how the father died at Christmas etc.)

Hawkeye. Perfect example.
Tho it may confuse some.
Show (come on add them all up and you’ve the budget and length of a movie) Hawkeye takes place during Xmas.
BUT, it’s also being released during Christmas season.
So it’s a double.
Any other doubles out there?
