Compared to the first one, this Smurfs is actually no significant improvement. In one respect, it basically follows the characteristics of foreign blockbusters: the visuals are okay, but the content is empty. Although The Smurfs 2 also has positive values, the plot is a bit cliché, and the connection between the two is not closely linked. The sudden appearance of China's Got Talent in the movie, the placement of advertisements on Dragon TV, Mtime.com and Blue Moon hand sanitizer, makes people occasionally flirt and think it is a Chinese copycat version of the Smurfs.
However, the comedy and visuals throughout the film are good, and the music is superb. The elves have outstanding personalities. Although it has a plot continuity with the previous one, even viewers who haven't watched the first one will not feel disconnected. The performance of the naughty ghost in the movie is very good.
