Wonderful character development!

Not even bad in a good way

In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

the smurfs was great why did it get bad reviews the movie was so cute and I loved the Carmella and Katy Perry Smurfette what that's on the reasons. I really liked when they showed New York AND THE CUTE BATTLE SCENE WITH GarmelLe. It was really funny I like the jokes it deserves a 10 out of 10 . THE SEQUEL WAS GOOD BUT THIS IS BETTER AND I WANT TO SMURFS THE LOST VILLAGE. THE CGI IS GREAT I ADORE IT I REMMOND THIS MOVE TO ALL.

I've seen this twice now and I really can't fathom the hatred for this smurfy reboot into reality that is The Smurfs. It can only be outrage that the movie wasn't pure animation and totally faithful to exactly what many of us grew up with, but the most tragic thing in terms of the IMDb score is that it IS faithful to the original!The adorable little blue and white bundles of joy spend most of the film singing or humming their theme song but it's never overdone and their attitude to life absolutely perfectly spot on and faithful to the original.I've gone through some of the most-voted comments and am dismayed by the amount of irrationality displayed and the absence of objectivity. In terms of the plot, I'm not sure what more you all expected the writers to come up with to cover the intended age-range of the audience, but I was happy enough and the movie pushed all the right buttons. It's more of a kids film, sure, but there's more than enough to keep adults happy.I thoroughly enjoyed watching it each time and am choosing my time carefully to show it to my 5 yr old kid. I'll probably add it to his movie list for 8 yr olds.I'm glad the lowish IMDb score didn't discourage them making a sequel, but I wish it wasn't so far out of whack! I would normally give this an 8 but it's 9 as a protest vote at the score.Watch this film and see for yourself. And then don't forget to vote!

Let's give the review system another try, right?Plot:There was a plot? Oh yeah, it's to help get the smurfs back to their world. I guess simple 'nough.Characters:The human characters are better than The Smurfs themselves. That's kind of sad, really. I actually cared more about the human characters, whose actors were giving half-assed performances, more than the cute blue people. That's how annoying the writers made these cartoon creatures.Visuals:Cheap CGI and Product Placement EVERYWHERE. I actually lost count just a few minutes after the movie started. I don't think there was one shot without a piece of advertising. (Sony, M&M's, Blu-ray, McDonalds, Rock Band, Yamaha, and more)Enjoyment:Nothing but eye-rolling, face-palming, and groaning jokes. It is pure cheap entertainment. It would entertain a toddler for a few minutes before they ask you to turn it off.Rewatchability:If I ever see this film again ANYWHERE, It's just going to put me in a sour mood. I don't even recommend a first time viewing.Sorry if this review was short, but this film was just awful.

The smurfs is an amazing and spectacular movie that can be watched as from a little kid, and even to big kids!The plot starts when the evil wizard Gargamel tries to capture all smurfs to end all their kind,by opening up a portal, but the smurfs don't go with out putting up a fight. The fight is enlightening and very amusing. Sequence of events rise and eagerness is then followed by the audience. This movie is an amazing movie i strictly recommend it to parents of any age or even teenagers or young adults. I rate this movie 9 out of 10 stars because it doesn't leave me or it wont leave any one or any age disappointed. The graphics are amazing and the way the directer interpreted the smurfs with humans and a man made environment is astonishing and this movie if a definitely must see movie. :D
