Confessions of a 90's Simpsons fan...

Rating: 5/10 (22 June 2008)

First of all, I have to say that this movie was a major letdown for me. I've been following the t.v. show since 1990 when it premiered on México, where I live.
I expected to see the humor that made this show a winner in the early-mid 90's but it wasn't present at all. On the other hand, the humor and situations were oriented for a younger audience and I totally understand it since teenagers are the ones who consume better in the film business.
The wrong aspect of the movie is that it tried to cover many fields in a rather slow pace. The movie tries to be a comedy following an action side and plot at some points, and then it even tries to become dramatic.
Sure, it's a cartoon but I expected more crude humor and situations.
The infamous Bart nude scene even though that follows the humor tendencies of the 2000's Simpsons is done with very good taste; nothing to whine about it.
I felt really bad when it first premiered world wide because on it's opening day I went to travel for some long time. I wanted to watch it on Mexican theaters while I had the chance to watch it on France, Holland, and even Italy. After I watched it on video I didn't feel guilty anymore.
A letdown for a true Simpsons fan. I guess things are not going to be the same.
