Visual effects aside (and having seen it on the big screen, I will freely admit they were stunning), the movie actually isn't that good when you start examining the plot. Apart from the usual 'white man's guilt' tripe that is so prevalent with Hollywood, there is a major, fundamental story flaw that is lampooned really nicely here. The titular main character didn't even try to warn the big blue smurfs about the danger they were in until it was already too late.
So it was pretty, but even the awesome military tech (which fricking ruled, BTW) couldn't save me from being bored to tears with this flick.
