It was OK... media attention killed it for me...

Rating: 3/10 (10 August 2007)

Im a huge simpsons fan, and to be honest i thought my expectations of this film were too high. The Plot line is good - Homer dumping pig waste in a lake causes an environmental Disaster, and it is funny in places yet all the funny parts of the film were shown in the TV trailers - such as 'spiderpig, spiderpig, does whatever a spiderpig does' i thought just wasn't funny there in the big screen - plainly because i had already seen it 99 million times on TV.
The animation though on the film is brilliant - by far the best thing about the film - its sharp and much better than in the TV series, it has to be one of the best animation on films ever - yet it isn't the amazing film everyone makes it out to be.
Overall i thought the film was overrated and that the media attention surrounding the film was a shame, as it really spoilt it for me. Im a huge simpsons fan - yet i think a classic show like the simpsons should be kept to the small screen where it belongs. A film was too much.
