    This is a film that transcends "good" or "bad," "like" or "don't like."

    Clever story? Pass. Originality? Nah. A smidgen of real humor to keep parents entertained along with the kiddies? Smurf you.

  1. Don't let my profile name fool you even though i'm a big smurfs fan but this movie are pretty good. But still there's a smurf load of things to be improve for the sequel. The Smurfs has never about the run of the mill cartoon series back in the days it even one of the most underrated series ever. There's something about the smurfs that make you wanna smile every time you see them that also applies to this movie. It's one of the most enjoyable CG animation/live action movie of the 2011. I knew what they wanted,tried to reintroduce the smurfs to the younger audiences and also pleases the old fans of the series. There are always alot of risks to bring back cartoons form decades ago and make it popular again and the smurfs has proved again that they're truly the little people with big hit! It's the hollywood writers that made this movie to be so scary close to the same failed formula used in many similar films in recent years fortunately,It's the smurfs that's is the star of the show and makes you completely forgot about how linear the plot is. As I always say months ago that this movie were purely "Saved by The Smurfs!" Expand

  2. I'm not sure making a smurf movie would be such a good idea, especially in 2011. If it was released back when the smurfs were popular, it would of worked out. I'm not saying that I hate them, on the contrary, I used to like the smurfs when I was a kid. I don't understand why they brought them back. It just ruins the reputation of the smurfs. The people who would be interested to see this are little kids, which surprisingly makes a good family movie. It wasn't that bad. This got to be the movie that surprised me the most this year. Of course, there are some flaws. It has '' cheesy '' humor, the villain Gargamel (played by Hank Azaria) was stupid and has other '' cliche '' stuff that you would expect. This kind of entertainment is useless and annoying these days. Hollywood producers, directors or whatever, should stop making these type of movies. Also, has you probably already know, Katy Perry does the voice of Smurfette. She actually did a good job. But it starting to get on my nerves to see singers appearing in movies (it's okay if they can actually act), leave that to the actors. Anyway, I saw this movie with my little brother, and he liked it. So this movie may be enjoyable for kids, even I surprisingly thought it was better then I expected. At some points, I even managed to get entertained a bit. Expand

  3. This movie is a monument to everything that's wrong about our society. It uses celebrity clout (Katy Perry, I'm looking at you) to sell tickets instead of actually putting work into the things that matter in a film like clever jokes and character development. Instead, a joke that featured heavily in the film was the - take a word and replace it with 'smurf' - gag which made me want to gouge my eyes out with a rusty spoon. Sure, it was a big part of the TV show as well, but we as a culture have moved on from that kind of entertainment. Overall, this movie met my expectations - very low quality flick produced solely to entertain little kids and give stressed parents a break from their little demons. Expand
