I will give this one three stars solely, purely and only
because I got to see the tiny blue creatures three apples high on screen once
again, hey I grew up in the 80/90’s so, my Smurf love is justified…can’t wait
for ‘care bears’ to hit the big screen! *cough*
In a magical land far far away their lived these tiny most
adorable little blue creatures called Smurfs, each named after its predominant
character trait, Smurfs were a happy folk, they sang they danced all in all they
were every kids favorite little beings (till the advent of Pokémon, can you
believe my spell check has Pokémon in it but not Smurfs!! Some-one-call-Microsoft!)
So where was I...Yes the happy smurfs… why o why did they
have to ruin it for us! The movie was a huge disappointment. To begin with I am
not sure who the target audience exactly was, there were no kids in the movie,
so I doubt if the younger audience would identify with the film, which in turn
pretty much kills the Smurf future (but fear not two sequels have already been
announced...hope? *shudders*).
Other then that the story was average, the evil wizard Gargamel
(Hank
Azaria) chases the Smurfs out of their village into a shiny new land
called New York city…must I tell you more? Isn’t it obvious what happens next…
clue: if I told you there wouldn’t be much left, that’s how little there was to
the story.
What really bothered me about Smurfs in 3D was how little
they actually put into recreating the original series… there was absolutely
zero ingenuity to the plot, the acting was pretty average the only thing good
about the movie were the computer graphics, the Smurfs looked pretty darn Smurfy.
So, if you want to relive a bit of your childhood, do watch the movie but I doubt
your kid would enjoy it.
