  • It’s a KIDS movie. Are you a kid? Consider also that Sony might be looking more towards Euro BO than US. I bet you didn’t even see Asterix at the Olympic Games.

    • True, the Smurfs are a very widely known and much loved European property, perhaps a bit less so in the UK however. But I seriously doubt Europe will take to what looks like a very Americanized, read unnecessarily pimped-up, improved-in-Hollywood version that lacks all the charm of the original. My prediction: flop. Asterix is also a huge European property but the films haven’t caught the spirit of the books. Asterix at the Olympic Games is a big budget, woefully unfunny embarrassment. Maybe the upcoming Asterix film will be better but I don’t hold out much hope.

• Didn’t James Cameron already do that last year? Avatar seemed more like “Dancing with Smurfs”.

• So THE SMURFS would rather compete with RISE OF THE APES than COWBOYS & ALIENS?! It will get crushed by COWBOYS!!

  • You mean would rather compete with COWBOYS AND ALIENS than compete with RISE OF THE APES . . . COWBOYS is looking four quadrant so you’re right it will not do well.
