Pretty much NOBODY had hope for this movie, let alone asked for another Smurfs movie. And to be completely honest, Rihanna voicing Smurfette made me take it even less seriously than I already did. Our titular characters have to stop Gargamel's brother from sucking all the "good" from the universe while James Cordon's character with no name is having issues finding his "thing".
The film wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but it was lame. The overall themes of this movie are super generic and it barely does anything with it. The live-action sequences had no reason to be there. If an animated movie is going to have live-action in it, they should at least do something with the live-action setting instead of just simply using it as a background, which is exactly what this movie did. If that was gonna be the case, then why didn't simply make the regular world animated? There was literally no reason for the live-action sequences. Not that I had a huge issue with this, but why did the writers feel the need to give Gargamel a brother? It really wasn't necessary. The dialogue was also quite cheesy.
This movie is also a musical, which is a HUGE indication that this film was overly reliant on Rihanna's star power. Pretty much all of the songs were pop songs, and kind of annoying. The songs of this film were just sad attempts to connect with a younger audience. Unlike Kpop Demon Hunters who's appeal through pop music is natural, this movie just tries to hard.
The best thing about the movie was the animation, it was actually pretty good. I just wish it wasn't wasted on such a lackluster movie. Thanks For Reading.
