The Smurfs 2

Considering how terrible the first film was, the sequel merely had to be adequate to tower over it. And that it does. Its funnier, better plotted, has some half-decent new characters and best of all, less of the cheesy, badly scripted Life Lesson interludes (though some are still present and as toe-curling as ever). Remember though, this is comparatively speaking... put it up against competition like Wall-E and it'll disintegrate in seconds. I'm more concerned about the prices though... £12.40 to see this in 3D with glasses included at the Odeon. It would have been even more if I'd admitted to sitting in the luxury section. Oops, my mistake. No wonder there was only 10 other people in with me. Though, one of the kids seemed content on spending most of the duration in the toilet, accompanied by their guardian of course. I dunno about you, but if my offspring dragged me to see an expensive flick and spent the majority of it in the bogs, I'd make sure there no more Moshi Monsters related products for a while. HA sweetie... how you like THEM apples?! Oops sorry, mind wandering. I'm finding it hard to come up with anything else to add to such an unremarkable product. So, lets just leave it at that, shall we? 5/10

Although I maybe 18 years old, I was very keen to go see this movie for my love of children's movies, such as Despicable Me and Planes. However, after just 30 minutes, which honestly felt like over an hour, I was completely bored and contemplated walking out. I had paid 16$ and so I at least wanted to see if it got any better...it didn't. Bored from the get go, this movie drags out at a mighty 105 minutes long and never seem's to end! disappointed at the final product. Terrible voice acting, terrible plot and just generally unappealing to all ages. Just saw that a third movie is already in production for a 2015 release, I sigh and have no real hope it'll be any better than it's 2 predecessors.
