This movie is about to be Smurfed and I’m gonna talk about the 2025 film that is simply called Smurfs. In this review, I’ll be sharing my reaction to watching what is possibly the worst theatrical animated feature in years, where even if the Smurfs got a new look, nothing could save the movie from its story that shamelessly rips off Smurfs: The Lost Village, and how the casting of Rihanna as Smurfette is a detriment.

Oh Smurf. There’s no reason for a Smurfs movie to even exist

Lady Helen Bio Rodriguez

Oooof. Lost Village wasn't a masterpiece or anything but this? Damn the Smurfs on film just cannot catch a break.

Russell Ray Young

20:54 i was really hoping that we would go a whole year without having that. We cannot have a good smurf movie

I honestly had zero interest in watching this movie based on how bad the trailers were and I’m so glad I didn’t watch this, if anything, I feel like this movie could be considered almost as bad as the live action movies from Sony, especially with how it repeats a lot of the mistakes from those films like having the Smurfs go into the live action world again, not to mention some of the other infamous stuff from the trailers like Influencer Smurf, which even Paramount knew how infamous he was, bad voice acting from Rihanna, and having James Corden in this movie being annoying like he always is and Paramount basically repeating Sony’s mistakes with the live action movies, and just feels like wasting potential, I mean say what you will about Smurfs The Lost Village but at least that movie tried to stay true to the Smurfs while at the same time trying to add in new elements as well, and while it might not have fully worked and that movie had its problems, at least it tried. Honestly, no wonder this movie preformed as bad as it did on its opening weekend, with the negative reception towards the trailers, and the fact it was released in July, alongside all the other big Summer movies from that month like Jurassic World Rebirth, Superman and Fantastic Four, I’m pretty sure even Paramount knew they had a stinker on their hands, heck down to the point where they were so desperate to try to get people to see this movie in any way possible, rather it be with constantly marketing Rihanna as Smurfette in the trailer to try to get her fans to see it, heck even with the SpongeBob short they put in front of it, which was actually completed all the way back in 2015 might I add and kept in a vault until now for some reason, that’s another example how Paramount knew how much of a stinker they had on their hands and showed how they were just so desperate to try to find some way for people to see this movie in any way possible, which obviously didn’t work and it’s pretty much a box office bomb at this point, even bigger than Elio, and honestly at this point I think Hollywood should just give up on trying to make a Smurfs movie, after 4 failed attempts, it’s time to just give up, it’s not worth it.

I think the only flaw I had with Smurfs the lost village was how dark it gets quickly

Hunter O'Laughlin

Chicken Little didn’t have to be. If you look at the behind the scenes story, it started off as a project director Mark Dindal was legitimately passionate about with it being a retelling of the fable but with the traditional Disney spin and it did sound promising until the executives forced changes upon the film to have both those sci-fi and referential pop culture elements to cash in on the success of Shrek after their previous film Home on the Range bombed at the box-office, and I guess on Steven Spielberg’s War of the Worlds that was the most recent successful film at the time. That’s the only explanation for why they incorporated aliens into the plot.

My apologies for constantly deleting my replies, but I’m writing this on my phone and for some reason, they’ve uploaded early before I’ve even finished writing.

Looks like The Lost Village will remain the closest thing we get to a good Smurfs movie. But hey, at least they’re doing fine everywhere else

Hunter O'Laughlin

I was watching your review of Smurfs: The Lost Village this morning and even with your criticism of the film being a safe at best average kids’ film, I knew going into this review that this would make you say something more positive on that film. It’s sad how The Lost Village is the best Smurfs film we got and yet it sadly bombed because of bad timing coming out a week after The Boss Baby and being overshadowed by more crowd appealing films such as the live-action Beauty and the Beast, The Fate of the Furious, Logan and Kong: Skull Island and the previous Smurfs films by Sony leaving a bitter taste in audiences’ mouths that they didn’t want to give the film a chance. (Yes, I’ve also listened to your story of how The Boss Baby defeated that film at the box-office from your old podcast you had from your brief partnership with FilmBook yesterday.) I’m definitely skipping out on this one and just sticking with The Lost Village. Heck, I’d rather watch the current cartoon on Nickelodeon. May not be as beloved as the original Hanna-Barbera cartoon, but it’s definitely decent and more enjoyable than this latest Smurf film. I would rather kids watch that instead of taking them to theaters to watch this.

I haven’t seen the movie yet, but I already have a feeling inside me that it’s gonna suck. It’ll probably be better than Sneaks (whatever that mess was) but it will still be bad

Kenneth Stoddard

I honestly hate the 2025 version of the Smurfs from Paramount. Not only is this movie try to be like Trolls, but it also tries to be like the 2010 films of Sony’s take of the Smurfs. Seriously, this movie feels an early 2010s movie but was released years too late. I was never a fan with the franchise to begin as I have no attachment to those blue devils, but this is an all time low from the story, writing, directing, characters, voice acting especially with Rihanna and James Cordon, the humor, cringe moments, the musical, and even the animation looks not rendered at times especially taking place in the live action world. This is might be the worst animated film I seen this year in how low this franchise has gone so far along with Paramount when it comes to their animated films. They didn’t do a Thursday night screening to show little confidence this movie gonna perform at the box office and look what happened now. I think it better off to stick with the Lost Village instead, even though that movie is mediocre at best but at least try to be respectful to Peyo’s comics and animated we from the 80s as well. All I can say is smurf this movie.

As a famous Irish Youtuber once said: "Aaand dow it goes..." That's my honest thought when I even learned of this movie's existence. PS: that quote isn't from Jackie-boy, but from the Nogla himself.

Not gonna lie, even I do feel absolutely gutted that the film didn't have much charm as The Lost Village did, let alone the live action movies (for which I could easily take over this one). So in short, even as a casual Smurfs fan, this movie can go smurfity smurf smurf smurf! :P
