Pitufos

This movie was very disappointing. I dont feel the voices fit the roles. I was used to Smurfettes voice being cute and dainty. The voice instead was rough and didnt fit her character. The plot didnt make sense. It seemed like things were juat thrown togethet and not thought out. They bleeped swear words all out at the end of movie in which my kids asked what that was. I dont want to have to explain an adult thing in a kids movie. I was very upset with this version. I think movies need to stick close to the original versions and characters. If not, it messes the movie up and highly disappoints.

I don't know if I've ever watched an animated movie and didn't at least chuckle once. My son just ate popcorn and never laughed. This kids movie had podcast, email, spam, headphones, and laptop jokes. What was the writer or writers of this movie thinking? Every actor involved had to be in it for the paycheck. James Corden probably needs the paycheck but Kurt Russell? Kurt Russell is my favorite actor and I can't believe he is apart of this garbage movie. To quote Jeremy Jahns "You will forget this movie in T-minus one day." Don't bother going to the theater, don't bother renting it, and don't even bother streaming it.

I really like all of the other Smurf movies, but this one was different. It was boring and a bit too weird. The characters seemed weirdly drawn. It only had Rhianna going for it and that was a bit over the top. Would recommend waiting to stream it rather than seeing it at the cinema. I took my 7 year old daughter and I feel like she was probably too old for it. May suit 5 years old and under. It felt like they were trying to make it really exciting which just didn't work out. I also had a thought of "have they even seen any of the other Smurf movies?" Again, I think it'll be fine to stream and with younger kids, but wouldn't pay to see it at the cinema.

I mean my god, with all the poorly written dialogue, world-building, forgettable soundtrack, modern references and obnoxious comedy, I can't remember what the hell I just witnessed.

This movie is so bizarre in its existence. How can anyone greenlight this? How can anyone sign onto it? How can it get all these big name stars in such a stupid abomination.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but the Sony Smurf movies are much, much better. THIS... I don't know what this is and honestly, I don't care either.

It's a strange movie with wasted talents and the less I can remember it, the better.

I can't think of one good thing that this movie did.

I went into The Smurfs knowing the reviews weren't great, but it was the only movie playing at a time that worked for me. So... expectations were low, and yet I still walked out underwhelmed.

The plot is confusing: the script never really makes it clear what the characters are trying to do next. It kind of meanders from scene to scene without much direction. There are 2 or 3 jokes that actually land, but the rest either fall flat or are just painfully repetitive (looking at you, Sound Effects Smurf).

The movie tries to be self-aware and "not take itself too seriously," but it doesn't quite work. It wants to be cool and clever, but it comes off more like it's trying too hard.

I saw a review warning about a scene that might scare kids (when Razamel threatens to kill the smurfs). Honestly, my 4-year-old daughter (and every other kid in the theater) was totally fine. I think that comment came from an overly sensitive parent with an even more sensitive kid.

Bottom line: The Smurfs isn't the worst movie ever made, but it's definitely not a good one. Passable if you're desperate, forgettable otherwise.
