Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

stiansmerud Why is this movie getting such a low score? This was a good movie! The animation was amazing, the smurfs was funny and had hearth. The only off putting thing was some places in the movie they put in modern music - it was so off putting I almost feel there must be a first cut with original music, but some marketing guy rushed in and insisted "Modern music! We must have modern clitchey music! Money in the bank!" This is a good childrens movie, a score of 5.9 is not fair, not fair at all.

Neil Welch Smurfette and several chums disobey orders, find another Smurf village inhabited only by girl Smurfs and (of course) fall foul of Gargamel.Peyo's little blue pixie-things get their first wholly CGI movie after a couple of movies where they were the stooges to real people. Here they are, doing Smurf things in Smurf-land, and looking entirely like their two-dimensional paper-based counterparts. The look is unsophisticated, but it is entirely representative of the source material (incidentally, "unsophisticated" does not mean "unaccomplished2.).There is a good voice cast, with several high-profile names on board, and they do good work (Michelle Rodriguez is typecast as a bad-ass girl Smurf).The story is functional and the humour is pretty broad. This is an out-and-out kiddies' film, and it is perfectly satisfactory on that basis. It doesn't hold much interest for an adult audience, but it isn't fair to criticise it for that.

thesaiyangodx To be fair, you must have a very high IQ to understand The Smurfs. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewers head. The philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence, people who dislike this movie truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂 And yes, by the way, I DO have a Smurfs tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then, they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothing personnel kid 😎

jonaske-56696 First of all I have two notes: Note 1: I tried not to put spoilers in here, but better safe than sorry, so I want to warn you there may be spoilers in it. The spoilers don't contain elements from the story but rather from the (new) characters. Note 2: I'm a Belgian, this review can contain grammatical, translation or simple spelling mistakes. Being a Belgian means, I, and a few other generations, grew up with these three-apples-high creatures and still new generations watch the original animated series on TV. So I was pretty excited when they announced there would come another movie in theaters. This movie wouldn't follow the story line from the two previous movies, but it would tell a complete new one. When I saw the posters for the first time, I noticed even the Smurfs looked a bit different and I LOVED IT! They look more similar to the original Smurfs. Another good thing about the movie is that it's completely set in their own environment without any live-action elements. So with all these things I was more excited then I was before. At the end of the movie I had some mixed feelings. It was a beautiful story, the cat Azrael was really funny and Gargamel was as evil as always. But there was actually one thing that annoyed me... the voices. They didn't seem to fit with their characters. At least some of them. Papa Smurf, Gargamel, Smurfette, they were fine. It were especially Clumsy, Brainy and Smurf Willow who didn't convinced me. There is nothing wrong with the actors behind them, it's just that their voices doesn't fit with those Smurfs. A little detail I would have liked, was that the original song of the Smurfs would have been added here. Maybe they could have given it a new touch. Maybe next time...OK, after all I liked the movie, it was a lovely story, beautiful new Smurfs and Monty (originally Howlibird) and Snappy the ladybird were nice extras.
