I... got nothing.

Well. My childhood just screamed and died.

Don't you try anything, you baked good you.

Why can't I stop laughing?

It's certainly not at the jokes.

Fight. Struggle. Endure. Suffer. LIVE.

If Hitler came back from the grave and killed the people who made this along with their immediate families, I'd forgive him for all of his past atrocities.

Not cool man. Not cool.

Fight. Struggle. Endure. Suffer. LIVE.

I'm currently singing this right now to Hollywood

This old mistake. I hope they just get it over with so we can ignore it.

What's the frequency Kenneth?|In case of war.

It's back? Gah, I was hoping that it had crawled off to the corner of bad ideas and stayed there. . . .

Who the hell thought it was a good idea to make it live-action and put it in New York? And why did they get Katy Perry to play Smurfette?

At least they're not calling it "Smurf'd" anymore. Still, plotwise it's the same movie we've seen dozens of times.

Why the heck are they still trying to shoehorn irrelevant human characters into the story of every Live-Action Adaptation? Hasn't Hollywood learned it lesson yet?

Bite my shiny metal ass.

They should have kept in Smurf Village, made the whole film animated and cast Anna Faris as Smurfette.

It looks ok

Also, why do they feel the need put the Smurf in modern day? Just... why? Is setting the story in medieval time so hard to make? Does it hurt trying to be faithful to the source material?

This looks like a big pile of smurf.

You can get what you want and still not be very happy.

Think about us in Europe, who grew up with the Smurfs as a great comic book, far superior to the TV show !

I actually don't think making a Smurf movie would inherently be such a godawful idea. There's definitely more potential for a feature-length story in The Smurfs than there is in Alvin And The Chipmunks or Yogi Bear. But by moving them to the present day, any chance of this movie being any good, every ounce of any originality, charm or heart the movie might otherwise have had, everything that could possibly not suck in a Smurfs movie, has been squashed. Mercilessly. And actually, I'm kind of impressed. It's as if they're deliberately avoiding anything that could make the movie anything more than one more in the genre of "CGI characters running around and nothing more" kids movies.

Why the hell haven't they made a Quickdraw Mc Graw movie? That would be awesome!

Guys, it's going to be lame, some parents will take their kids to see it, the critics will be unenthusiastic, and everyone will forget about it within a year. This has happened before, and will happen again. There's no use getting worked up about it.

I wouldn't care so much if these movies could just STOP. MAKING. MONEY.

You know, Myrmidon's right. I think they just make these movies so parents can take their kids somewhere for an hour and not have them go crazy.

Also I was reminded of all the shitty 90's kids comedies I drug my parents to, so I guess this is all punishment for REALLY REALLY wanting to see The Pagemaster...

it doesn't look so bad to me.

Oh god, I'm laughing but crying inside.

Okay, I watched that trailer on a computer with no sound. Tell me...

Does it make less sense than it looks?

But they do. Because kids enjoy watching them.

It's not like they slaughter a kitten with every movie, or break into your house and make you watch it. It's just a crappy movie. God, people overreact to this kind of thing.
