What Movies You Hate But Everyone Else Likes? Here Is 2 Movies I hate Tangled Paranorman
Um, isn't that basically the way they always talked?Make a bad movie based off a cartoon that was OK, throw in phrases like "Oh my smurf." and "Where the smurf are we?" and you've got one of the worst cartoon adaptations ever made.
No. Not at all. The word "smurf" came into conversations as replacements for random words. In the FAR better Smurfs and the Magic Flute movie (which I can no longer find a clip of...*&^%!!!), Peewit tries to speak Smurf, and asks for a glass of water "I would like a smurf," and the Smurfs would hand him various objects, causing Peewit to start shouting. Essentially like a tourist.Um, isn't that basically the way they always talked?
I don't know the Smurfs too well as original characters, so I thought the movie was cute. Yogi Bear was boring whether you saw the original or not. I personally hate the Scooby Doo movie, because it tried to be a spoof of the original and worst of all....making Scrappy-Doo (a character I personally like) the villain.No. Not at all.

In the movie, Smurf was used as a swear word substitute, like it was a Family Guy cutscene or a Robot Chicken skit. or some other crude parody.
Personally, I hated how they kept saying how blue they were.
They got odd parts of the mythos right. Like how Greedy Smurf was never the Chef, and his HB cartoon appearance was an amalgam of 3 characters (a Chef, a Baker, and Greedy, who just liked to eat). They remembered Smurfette was a villain first (seems like they're actually doing that with the next one), and even had some nods to Peyo.
But they got the Smurf personalities either almost correct or wrong. Brainy never once sucked up to Papa Smurf, nor did he get beaten up for being a ******. Eh, at least the human actors actually wanted to be there and actually acted like they liked being in the film, unlike some kiddy film adaptions (cough-terrible Ranger Smith in Yogi Bear-cough-I'll never let that go-cough cough).
