Smurfs

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.

So... i just got done watching the Paramount own Smurf movie "THE SMURFS" i had to go watch it early when the Australia release on July 5th and i watched it... you know it's was a bit eh in my opinion.

Don't get me wrong the character were good, i did got laugh from a few jokes and the animation was decent enough... but sadly this movie wasn't good and not as bad but it eh..., i guess it was in development back in 2022 and after 3 years they made it, but however the director was fine, but when i saw Pam Brady writing i was like: "wait Pam Brady making a kids film?"

Overall mediocre film..... (5/10 eh)

Was a waste of time for me and my 10yrs old son then at the end Indian music and dance was too much. I'll give it a 3 stars just because the Smurfs are cute but I really don't suggest this movie.we wanted so leave before finish but we were still have some nachos and popcorn to finish, we regret we didn't take the nachos and popcorn with us home and also very sorry for this details but my coment was not 600 caractere so I had to do something in regards so gettin back to Indian song and dance at the end of the movie that was really not needed as the movie was very very bad and we enjoy mostly the nachos.

The original smurfs cartoon from the 1980's had heart, soul, magic and a whole lot of substance, this one is just useless and it continues the downward spiral started in season 9 and continues onward ever since, now rihanna is a good singer, but she is wrong for voicing smurfette, she adds absolutely nothing new to the character, although there some good scenes, the rest are completely atrocious and doesn't have any of the charm nor heart of the original peyo clifford comic strip nor hanna barbera cartoons, the screenplay is completely woeful, it completely missed the opportunity of the charm, the writing is just pitiful, i will stick with the 1980's saturday morning cartoon version from nbc instead, this thing is just pathetic.

Thumbs way down.

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.
