VividSimon Simply Perfect

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

jonaske-56696 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.

Reno Rangan After an average reception for the first two films, I did not expect one more in the series. They should have been dropped it, yet the film was not that bad. It was simple and cute, somewhat better than the previous ones. Basically, there's no story, everything was an adventure and the story came out of it. The adventure of four Smurfs to outdo their arch-rival, Gargamel. They were racing to find the secret village, but with different agendas. They had to face many hurdles before getting close to their destination. After that what came was a surprise. Not for us, but the Smurfs, and following, the story ended with the result of the battle that fought.From the director of 'Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarrom' with prominent actors behind the voice-over. Not one of the most expected animation of the year, but some people were, like the kids. The children won't go alone to the theatres, it always has to be with parents/elders/guardians. That is a complicated combination, and the filmmakers has to work on that. Which means making a film that can be enjoyed by them both. So this film is more a children's, but surely some grown ups too can enjoy it. Otherwise, it is a decent film, that's not deserved the poor box office respond it's got. That means, show it to your kids, even if you are not interested in it. That's how it should be!6/10

capone666 Smurfs: The Lost VillageIf the Smurf's are looking for their descendants they should start with the Blue Man Group.Unfortunately, in this animated film the azure imps are looking for Smurfette's lineage.As the only female in the village, Smurfette (Demi Lovato) is revered by her blue-skinned male kin, but baffled by her own existence.Forged by the evil sorcerer Gargamel (Rainn Wilson) but swayed to good by Papa Smurf (Mandy Patinkin), she now leads Brainy (Danny Pudi), Clumsy (Jack McBrayer) and Hefty Smurf (Joe Manganiello) into the forbidden forest to find a lost tribe of Smurfs (Julia Roberts, Ellie Kemper, Michelle Rodriguez) before Gargamel does.Infused with low-level vocal talent, a puerile script and lackluster 3-D animation, this pointless reboot of the popular eighties cartoon languishes in mediocrity. While girl power is present, it's eventually paired off with a male partner and dies.And hear everyone just thought Smurfette was a polygamist. Red Light

chundrar I've been a Smurf fan since they were created. There's not an episode I haven't watched.Papa Smurf and Gargamel's voice was nothing close to the original or any Smurfs cartoons. They sound nothing like their characters. Their voices are annoying and does nothing for their character. If you create another Smurf movie, please use the voices from the other Smurf movies. PLEASE! It was hard to get into this movie due to the annoying voices who sounded nothing like the original Papa Smurf or Gargamel. A few laughs but I could barely stay focus and finish movie but I will not be watching this movie EVER again. Disappointed 1st time ever.
