10 Sequels 2013 Just Doesn’t Need

2. The Smurfs 2

the smurfs 2 Yes, this is another children€™s film. But that doesn€™t excuse it from being an abomination. The first Smurfs horrified the children of the 80s and 90s by taking the famous blue characters and dropping them in New York. Could they damage the legacy of the source material any worse? Yes...they cast Katy Perry as Smurfette. If your film has Katy Perry in it, you need a new job. The only redeemable qualities of the first film were passable performances from Neil Patrick Harris and Hank Azaria. The only reason we are getting this waste of time and money is because it will undoubtedly bring in a whole bucket-load of cash. But it€™s a kid€™s film for God€™s sake. Could the studio not just come up with their own stupid little creatures and sell them...clearly even that is too much effort. If a film is ever released where the gang from Toy Story are dropped into live action New York to hang out with Neil Patrick Harris, a producer is getting assaulted...
