Ruines The Series. No. Disappointment. Yes.

Rating: 4/10 (30 July 2007)

The Simpsons is by far one of the greatest television shows ever. It has stood the test of time and may continue on for a good number of years. It has had everything that you could imagine and has a place in many peoples hearts. As a person who grew up loving the simpsons and having character name-offs with my friends i needed to see this. This movie excited me more than most and i was just overcomed with excitement the day i stood on the line waiting to get in.
After the movie, my thoughts of the television show and how much i loved it did not waver. I still was an avid simpsons fan and loved the show. But this cliché and sparsley funny movie that somewhat resembled the television show the simpsons left me with a bad taste in my mouth. Now the plot was alright, i wont take much away from it but on the other hand i won't give it to much praise. But in all seriousness we all came to see a film that would make us die laughing from all forms oh said humor. What i saw was cliché jokes and gags that were a disgrace to the early homer simpson. The only funny character throughout the entire show was chief wiggum and his son ralph. Both of which appeared very little throughout the movie. One huge thing that bothered me was the lack of two major simpsons fads that have had impacts on society and let alone the fans. One was how Homer did not say "D'oh" the entire time. He ALMOST did but it ended up turning out to be the word Dome, alas a valiant attempt but fell a little short. Second, there was no couch clip in the beginning. That is absurd, the completely new and ever changing ending to the opening credits that is one of the most famous things about the show is left out.
In the end the movie disappointed me and my fellow Simpson lovers. If id come to see a fairly decent drama with dry and cliché humor that rarely entertained i wouldve praised it. But sadly thats not what i hoped for and so i in turn give it a 4/10.
