… And there goes my last bit of hope that this was all just some horrible, horrible joke…

Holy S#!+, Azaria looks awesome as Gargamel. I'm gonna get so much flack for sitting in a theatre with a bunch of kids watching this. Hope they find a decent creature shop to do Azreal.

From WIKI:

The main antagonist, Gargamel the sorcerer is the sworn enemy of the Smurfs. He is an evil wizard with limited powers. Gargamel is absolutely obsessed with the Smurfs and his main goal vacillates from trying to eat the Smurfs to trying to capture them to use in a potion to make gold. His robe is worn and patched, and his teeth are rotten. He lives in a run-down hovel with his cat Azrael.

someone put out an amber alert stat!

Smurf me, this looks smurfing smurf and shit.

Ho-ly Jesus…

Are you sure this isn't American Splendor 2?

I don't know why people are complaining when that looks almost exactly like the design from the cartoon.

Um, what's the problem with this? It looks EXACTLY the cartoon character, does it not?

@ comment #7: I LOL'ed!

He looks exactly like him. People want to bitch about everything.

Nobody's bitching. Good job, makeup artists, high five.

Seriously get the fuck over it. It's a kids movie, you don't have the script, you've seen NO footage, the only image is Gargamel who's spot-fucking-on to the cartoon… if this were… oh I dunno… Thundercats? And Lion-O looked just like the comic version? Gay underwear and all? You'd be spanking into a tubesock as to how amazing it looked! Fucking hypocrisy. Get the fuck over it.

awesome

Comment 7 wins!

That absolutely rules

The only thing I really see wrong with it is that I can plainly see the edges of the make-up. It sticks out like a sore thumb.

Once again Devin's lame attempt at humor fails. Must be all those BBC shows he thinks are brilliant.

Jeffmc2000: That's exactly what I was thinking. Holy shit, it's Harvey Pekar!

I'd fucking love a Smurfs movie written by Harvey Pekar. He'd just be confused, angry and disappointed by them and their unquestioning belief in love and goodness.

Raja Gosnell dudes … Raja Gosnell. No way this movie is going to be good. Absolutely no way.

People – you are aware this movie is aimed at 7 year-olds right? Jesus

Looks like Gargamel to me.

(P.S. Your verification system sucks. Took me six tries to post the comment)

People are coming to a site called CHUD and defending Smurfs. What the fuck?

Great information! I’ve been looking for something like this for a while now. Thanks!
