Smurfs

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.

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)

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 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.

Smurfs 2025 wow what horrible garbage mess of a movie. It's like the franchise automatically knew you've been a smurfs fan forever and there's no need to have a story or decent plot so if your not the whole lore they have created makes no sense and falls really flat. I'm not a huge smurfs fan and my son wanted to see it and even he torwards the end became very uninterested and the music was bad Nd didn't add much to the story. The animation was ok and I get they were trying to be different but sometimes being too different is a curse and it just didn't work, the characters were 1 dimensional, and again i get it's a kids movie but what happened to movies that were made for both parents and kids. I think this may be just a cash grab, and maybe good press for Rhianna. Not only was it unnecessary it was super bad to watch too.
