Smurfs (out Jul 10) is another attempt to reboot the franchise and is centred on a Smurf with no name (an odd plot point) who must help rescue a kidnapped Papa Smurf. It’s a weird, chaotic narrative with a sci-fi, magic focus that struggles to generate humour and emotion. We barely get to know the characters. Grade: C.
