The film is getting a variety of criticism from the various parties. The film is considered manages to present an interesting spectacle with all the technology that exists, but has a weak plot.
8. The Smurfs
This Peyo's classic comic is highly anticipated in big-screen version. Although not adapted from one of the comics that ever existed and created in live action, it did not lower the audience expectation. The proof, this film managed to sit in the rankings to eight films with the highest incomes in 2011 with a total of U.S. $ 562.5 million!
Overall, this film received not so good response both from the Smurf comic’s lovers and movie watchers. Raja Gosnell experiences in working on two Scooby Doo movie does not seem to make this CGI animated film looks perfect. In addition, the film is considered to be "slipped" too many ads throughout the film.
