Simpsons Movie

**horrid1999** · August 12th, 2007, 03:18 PM

I saw this movie recently. Wow...
I have seen most, if not all, of the Simpsons episodes since they began (20 years ago...)

This movie was TERRIBLE!!
It was a mistake, and they should have never made it.
Please, tell me what you think....

it was at best a two hour TV episode people paid for...and in terms of qualiy it was standard simpsons fair...nothing special...like homer said....suckers :P

it was no worse then any recent episodes, so no reason to complain really...
Wish it would have come out years ago when the eps were better, would have been a better movie.
but you can't expect it to be better then the tv show is now, and thats predictable with stupid gags and jokes.
I liked it, but thats just me, I like stupid jokes and movies.

Shit! It was wayyyyyyyyyyyy better than I thought it would be. It was actaully good. I dont see how any Simpson fan could complain. Everyone I know who has seen it really liked it. So.....WTF? You must have went in expecting to hate it or you saw the wrong movie. Was it the Departed? Fuck no it is the Simpsons. A cartoon. A laugh a minute.

I found a few bad ones, as well...

I didnt really think that much of it either. Making a movie was a big mistake by the creators. I dont really like the new humour either. Weird things keep happening to the characters.

And as if Bart would ever want Flanders as a father.

I think watching interviews with Matt Groening are a lot more funny then the Simpsons. The movie is basicly a really long episode and less of a movie.

meh.

It wasnt terrible.. I think alot of people set their expectations a little high..

Actually, I remember at least one old show where this was the premise. It was a pretty weak premise then, though, and still is.

As far as my impression of the movie goes... it wasn't side-splittingly hilarious, but quite a bit of it was amusing. If one were to rate it against the average episode, I would place it fairly high.

I mean, come on, the "I will not illegally download this movie" chalkboard punishment was pretty darn funny.

I fell asleep... but that could have been because I worked at the movie theatre and went in there and was tired because i had worked all day.

**sumtingwong** · August 14th, 2007, 04:00 PM

I don't think it was bad. It may not have lived up to the hype and the ending could have been better. But the movie had some really funny moments.

Homer talking to his family - 'I've really come to like you guys'.

You really have to watch it more than once to get all the jokes.

**sammy_yammi42** · August 16th, 2007, 10:57 AM

I liked it, it was funny as hell!

I also like butter.

**yomama420** · September 8th, 2007, 05:20 PM

i thought the movie was ok, streched out a little 2 long, homer and spier pig rule :)

**rutke** · September 14th, 2007, 02:04 PM

I didn't like the movie, either. Generally, I'm more fan of sitcoms than comedy movies... It's very hard to create a movie that can make you laugh for 90 minutes.
I believe Borat was the only one that succeeded in that
