The movie version of "The Smurfs" has undoubtedly changed a lot to the animated version, not only the picture has changed from 2D to 3D, but also except for the Smurfs, other characters appear in real images, and the scene of the film is not limited to the one of the Smurfs. The Mushroom Village and Gargamel's Castle Black came to New York through time and space through wonderful magic, opening up a new plot space, which is equivalent to changing from a pure cartoon to a movie with a combination of real people and animation. The importance is no less than the Smurfs. After reading it, I feel that the Smurfs are not as impressive as the human characters. On the one hand, this is because the simple animation image of the Smurfs with white hats and blue bodies is inherently less recognizable, and they like to be dispatched in groups. From the beginning to the end, they may not be able to recognize the main Smurfs characters one by one, and because there are so many Smurfs characters , the film can only focus on depicting Benben as the main character to highlight the inspirational elements, so it makes the other Smurf characters monotonous and lacking in attention. On the other hand, compared to the unremarkable Smurfs, the human characters in the film are more eye-catching. The couple played by Neil Patrick Harris and Gemma Mays, although most people will feel unfamiliar when they hear their names, but many people should feel familiar when they see their images, because they starred respectively. The American TV series "How I Met Your Mother" and "Glee" are really hot, and their popularity is high enough, so it is inevitable to steal a lot of the Smurfs' limelight. The plot of the ad creative director, played by Harris, building the "Blue Moon" ad, and his family scene with Mace about having a baby, is significantly more than the main story of the Smurfs running around New York looking for their way home. more attractive.
Although the film arranges a lot of jokes and dangers for the Smurfs' adventures in New York, it still makes people feel that their adventures are not powerful enough and are more old-fashioned. The Smurfs and Gargamel came to the strange world of New York and made all sorts of jokes. This "hicken-in-the-city look" model has almost become a fixed routine with traversal elements of comedy, so let's see how the Smurfs and Gargamel do It is not uncommon to play tricks and make foreign appearances. The film shows the old connotations of the animated version of "The Smurfs", such as the sense of responsibility and the spirit of collectivism, through the plot of Father Blue who sacrificed himself and all the Smurfs to fight the Gargman, and there are not many surprises at all. Since the animation image has evolved from 2D to 3D, and the picture has also been upgraded to three-dimensional, the film still has some bright spots in terms of audio-visual expression. After special effects rendering, Gaga's magic has become extraordinarily powerful, and the 3D three-dimensional sense of the magic scene is more prominent. It can be concluded that the film still spent some thought on the three-dimensional effect, and it is not a rubbish 3D film that blindly misappropriates money. (Text / Levin)
