Epic-scale treatement of the classic Christmas icon who is treated with as much reverence as any religious figure that comes to mind. Or maybe more closely to anyone's favorite superhero as this was produced by the same guys behind the Superman movies. David Huddleston (The Big Lebowski) is good in the role though a lot of his sincerity is overshadowed by the scene-chewing by John LIthgow as the villain. The set design and production is incredible though. The flying scenes look really fake unfortunately. This is a weird mishmash of different ideas but I can't deny that its heart is in the right place.
