Well maybe because you project the name smurfs onto the characters that makes them less real to you.
The story is quite solid, the action, pacing and acting is all great, you have guns, you have epic battles in air and land - what's not to like?
You probably don't like fantasy to much, but prefer sci-fi right? since this boarders on both you probably didn't like it.
The color pallet chosen for the characters and jungle seemed childish to you, so you can't associate with it as well as others.
It's more a story about Sully then anything else that people point out, maybe you're tired of "the chosen one" in movies - or maybe you got into the hype about it and thought you would see something new - which it really wasn't, but that doesn't make it any less well made and entertaining.
I could easily foresee everything that was happening - when they talked about the Makto I immediately realized (as everybody else I hope) that Sully would get one.
It really is just a core story that we have heard a bunch of times before, but its well written and executed, that's why people like it.
