Awful movie, well not awful but far from good, it’s corny and unfunny.

The art style(s) were surprisingly good, better than I assumed from the trailers. The jokes, spoken and visual, also worked out really well in my opinion. I don't like the role dynamic of Gargamel and Razamel. They should've stuck with Gargamel alone and have him stick to his usual self. Too many characters "try to be cool". It's fine to have a "cool" character, but all of them trying to be? Dangerously close to Marvel's "the villains are just laughing stocks" situation. The story was barely coherent. It felt more like a "Alice in Wonderland" trip where individual, short ideas were lived out. Also, unnecessary deus-ex-machina moments that could've been written to be emotional and nice, but instead are resolved "magically" like that. The live-action scenes were completely unnecessary. Even more than in the two Neil Patrick Harris Smurfs movies. Like...completely unnecessary! And also kinda strange, because there were actual live-action humans, and then there's animated humans like Gargamel and Razamel, contrary to the other Smurf movies where Gargamel was also live-action. So, yeah. The movie would be better without those. So, overall, a bit disappointing. It could've been a really nice movie. The jokes are good, visual style and gags work REALLY well, but the main story was a mess to me. I guess it's fine if you care more about the characters than the story. The second live-action one's story but in this style, that would've worked nicely.
