Smurfs' movie review

So I saw the screening of The Smurfs movie in 3d and it wasn't as bad as I expected to me. I knew that it was going to be blue people in the real human world, but honestly, I thought it would be kinda strange to have The Smurfs movie as a cartoonish Final Fantasy look 3d to it look.

It starts out with the Smurf in their village getting ready for a their Blue Moon festival and of course Clumsy smurf is practically destroying the festival, but the other smurfs don't mind. Anyways... Papa, Smurfette, Clumsy, Grouchy, Brainy and Gusty got into the real world where they have to find a way to get back to their mushroom village. Gargamel and his cat Azreal also got into a real world.

I would continue on, but I don't wanna spoil it, so here is my review.
I'm glad that I won the screening to The Smurfs Movie in 3d because I would have never pay for the movie nor get the DVD. However, this movie was actually better then I thought. Neil Patrick Harris, Jayma Mays, Hank Azaria did an excellent job playing the heroes and the villain. Sofia Vergara did an alright job as a supporting actress. Jonathan Winters is an excellent voice actor for Papa Smurf in the movie. Katy Perry is also in the movie and she played Smurfette. As for all the movies that are coming out and is already out for all those 3d hype and crap (don't see the big deal for almost all of the movie to be in 3d, should be exclusive for this movie or that movie and not all), The Smurf Movie, I think is a great movie for it to be in 3d. There are a lot of scenes in the movie where the 3d action came into play and did a really good job on it. Of course, there are a lot of time where you're watching the movie and thinking "Why the hell is this movie is 3d?!"

As for Thumbs up Thumbs down, I give it one thumbs up and about 2 and half stars.

(For those who don't know Mays, Azaria and Vergara here are some hints.
Mays = Emma Pillsbury on Glee; Azaria = voices on the Simpsons aka Moe, Apu Chief Wiggum; Vergara = Supporting character from Meet the Browns movie)
