Ugh

Rating: Null/10 (20 September 2011)

To be frank, this movie was awful. Don't get me wrong, I love the Simpsons. Im a HUGE Simpsons kid. So when I saw this coming out in the movies, I was pretty darn excited.
And then I saw it.
Spiderpig? Really? The pig wasn't funny. Homer just kept renaming the damn pig he adopted to various pop-culture characters, which I suppose kept the more easily pleased members of the theater happy. But not me, I was hoping for the original wit and humor of the Simpsons to build this movie. No such chance.
The plot- terrible. A giant dome put over Springefield? Gimme a break. You know what this movie SHOULD have been about? SIDESHOW BOB! He's my favorite character, and he didn't appear once! The Simpsons Movie could have been so much better if it was about his murderous revenge on Bart, not the damn pig and EPA. (Oh, and another thing, Mr Burns makes a minute cameo...that's right, pretty much 60 seconds)
There is some really weird personality shifts too, most noticeably in Bart. He goes through a strange phase of wanting fatherly guidance, whereas in the series he seems fine with it, and turns to Flanders for support. Oh yes, may I mention he also has a whiskey drinking problem? A 10 year old boy? (Ha..ha...not)
The stuff is unfunny. It's really all slapstick. REPEATED slapstick. If I remember correctly there is about three times Homer hurts himself on the roof. Whats worse is the lack of violence on the beginning of the Itchy and Stratchy cartoon- there's no blood!
There's also some little romance between Lisa and this boy called Colin, that doesn't last all that long and just kinda moves the plot along. It's pretty pointless, and is quite dull.
Don't see it if you're a simpsons fan.
