Tired of feeling like you wasted time, felt like the film lacked emotional synesthesia, objectified women, felt more like a two hour commercial, felt that the film insulted your intelligence, the film lacked a narrative or over saturated special effects, and you felt overall ripped off by the high prices of admission? This is a discursive declaration of war on film mediocrity. Shall we declare war, glorify, or boycott? The choice is yours to decide.
The Smurf Movie is a tossup. I want to declare War, but it was tolerable enough to pass for a rental. It has its strength as well as a list for weaknesses. If you want to get out of the house and you have extra money to burn, then I would suggest you grab your kid, if they are less than twelve years old, and go see the Smurfs. Warning: there are some gross out scenes, but nothing too outrageous. What is up with the injection of gross-out comedy within children and family films these days? Let’s desensitize them more than they are.
I declared WAR! Writing is hard enough, but the competition to get a writing position in the film industry is even harder, and yet they let this slide. Wow. Let's create a discussion.
