The Smurfs 2

The sequel's plot seems legit.

Well, it sounds slightly more interesting than the original's standard "animated characters sent to our world" storyline.

And I suppose being set in Paris is an improvement. I can't say for certain, as I never saw the first film and don't plan to.

I find it interesting that the plot is set in Paris,France since the language for the smurfs original name (Les Schtroumpfs) is in French which is also one of the languages in Belgium. I wish Jokey would be one of the Main characters along with Hefty.

...

I thought the Critics got this cancelled.

Damn I was going to say that.

"Smurfs 2 may have to be cancelled,"

Nope, the film won't be cancelled. Look at this

They look ok.

And yeah I knew it wasn't cancelled obviously.

Necro! The movie is going to come out soon. Anyone still interested?

By the way, everything on this page is my fault.

I'm still here

To be honest, I just came here to post the link, since I didn't want to double post again over at Music's Chatterbox thread.

Today's the day, guys!

Whoa. That sounded way too enthusiastic.

This poster◊ alone inspires zero confidence. Katy Perry's got the left side. Smurf Doggy Dogg has the right. Dreamworks Face and the Plucky Comic Relief take the top corners. And then, at dead-center, you have the crown-fucking-jewel, whom I can only describe as 'Fraser Trollface'.

Terry Pratchett called, he wants his Nac Mac Feegle back.

Why in the hell is Hank Azaria still doing this? He's worth like a trillion dollars.

How are... how are the reviews?

Well, The Cinema Snob's one is hilarious.

In all seriousness, though, it's currently 13% on Rotten Tomatoes.

AHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAH!

Please tell me it's not making enough money back.

The director says if the sequel does good at the box office. Then they might possibly do a third film about the origin of the smurfs and why Gargamel wants them.

Family films are like printing presses for money.

I guess it's like the Alvin And The Chipmunks movies, which are even worse and yet keep making profits because they play to the family lowest common denominator in a way that works.

I still can't believe Britney Spears of all people made a song to tie in with the movie. Though at least it gave us a horribly funny music video to laugh at.

I can't get over how Owl City did one. You're better than this, dammit!

Well, I suppose I can console myself with the knowledge that both franchises will be forgotten.

Except because both franchises have been around for decades. And while IMHO Alvin always has been crap, the Smurfs comics were actually good, and even the animated series was fine for what it was.
