Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Lack of good storyline.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

This schtroumpfs storyline is the best I've seen. They recap and reconcile males and females in an incredible story that has a lot of depth! La schtroumpfette takes new sense and is hilarious. Even evil is depicted accurately. Well, so his goodness. Super kudos for the high quality production, even if they are englishes for the most part.

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 😎

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.

Story(short): Realizing that she has no unique ability, like all the other smurfs, Smurfette wants to go on a forbidden trip, to warn who ever she accidentally drawn Gargamels attention on.Pro: It's a roller-coaster of simple slapstick for young audience. And Tenchnicaly well done.Contra: Its pretty clear what smurfiness means: They're peaceful, friendly, individuals named by their capability or attitude. (By the way, they have no Gender, for the Baby-Stork takes care of the offspring's.) So what can a bunch of female moviemakes come up with? How about a second unknown village full of smurfs! Only those smurfs are all aggressive, bow and spear carrying, female, annoying, unsympathetic, wicked and petty. At this point, I was in the mode to rate this movie with a minus 10. Sorry, topic failed, repeat class! You also might think the grey hairy, red hat, opposite to papa smurf, had to be mama smurf. Far off. Its smurfwillow. Once you reached that point, you won't even bother, that the movie score contains unfitting modern pop music. Which appears to be the only good thing about life, as a female smurf. Disco. I can not say this is a bad movie! I can only speak for my self and say: "I will try to forget, that i saw it!"
