07242017 Fantastic forbidden forest setting, full of colorful and fascinating creatures, bonus bonus! This is another 3D smurfs adventure story. It is better than what I expected because I once watched a real word smurfs movie with human around. It wasn't too bad but not good either. But thanks god, this is a pure 3D cartoon movie. It is a kid story, but I still like it, I like to watch silly rather than weepy. Having a great time watched it with my mom. Usually if smurfette dies in the movie, it will make the movie to another level. However still a good family movie choice. Lastly question appears, so why male smurfs and female smurfs separate from each other?

'SMURFS: THE LOST VILLAGE': Two and a Half Stars (Out of Five) A reboot to the 'SMURFS' film franchise, this one is entirely animated (unlike the previous two movies, which were partially live-action). In this film Smurfette, and three other smurfs, try to find a lost village before Gargamel does. It was directed by Kelly Asbury (who's also helmed other hit animated movies like 'SHREK 2', 'GNOMEO & JULIET' and 'SPIRIT: STALLION OF THE CIMARRON'). It was scripted by Stacey Harmen and Pamela Ribon, and it's of course once again based on the comic book (and cartoon series) created by Peyo. The film stars the voices of Demi Lovato, Rainn Wilson, Mandy Patinkin, Joe Manganiello, Jack McBrayer, Danny Pudi, Michelle Rodriguez, Ellie Kemper and Julia Roberts. It's received mostly negative reviews from critics (although they're better than the previous two movies) and it was also another huge hit at the Box Office (like the last two films). I found it to be decently made (for a kids' film), but still mostly a bore.When Smurfette (Lovato) thinks she sees another unknown smurf, she follows it into the Forbidden Forrest and is captured by Gargamel (Wilson). Hefty Smurf (Manganiello), Brainy Smurf (Pudi) and Clumsy Smurf (McBrayer) rescue her, and in the process they discover Gargamel's plot (and map) to discover a lost village. The four smurfs then venture to find the village before Gargamel does. The whole time Smurfette tries to learn her true purpose in the world.The movie is arguably better than the previous two installments; although I liked that the first one had Sofia Vergara in it, as a domineering antagonist (and this one has the voice of her husband, Manganiello). All three films have been surprisingly faithful to the source material (mostly), compared to most other modern feature adaptations of classic cartoon shows. Still, all three films also fail to capture the original cartoon's charm and nostalgic magic. They're all decently made, but also silly and boring (in my opinion). I definitely don't hate them either though, having grownup on the 80s' cartoon show. To me, this one is about equal to the others (possibly slightly better).Watch our latest 'MOVIE TALK' movie review here: https://vimeo.com/226190246

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

Such an amazing movie! My family and I have been on a "watching movie streak" and this was one of the few we chose to watch. Before we watched the movie I had some doubts about it, now, it has been the best movie I have watched on this "streak". For me it is the best Smurfs movie yet so if you already enjoy the first two then you would really like this one, (my opinion). I definitely recommend watching it because it is an incredible story and includes great details.
