Love it or hate it

Rating: 6/10 (11 September 2007)

In my personal opinion it was a love or hate movie. And at first i really didn't like it. I thought the storyline was a little stupid and they made everybody in Springfeild act retarded just for the sake of it being funny. And it was waaay too short. I mean i am serious when i say this. It felt like a double episode. So don't get comfy in your seat. By the time your halfway through your popcorn it will be over. The storyline was pretty good, not amazing, but you have to cut them some slack. They did EVERYTHING in the god knows how many episodes they have. I love the Simpsons but i'm not going to buy this movie or rent it when it comes out on DVD. I'll watch it again but not in the near future. It was just OK. And i couldn't get over the fact that it was just OK. About 40 minutes into the film it stopped getting funny and the audience wasn't laughing at all. Maybe it was because people we're only laughing through the beginning because it was "THE SIMPSONS MOVIE" and had to funny just for that reason, or maybe the writers we're in crappy mood halfway through writing it. I would have really liked it they threw in some famous episode references. It seemed like they forgot their roots, why people ACTUALLy watched this film. The only character that fell into place was Homer. Which i mean.. Okay how do you screw up an idiot? You don't. I wish they took a little more time to make this, make it longer, and add some of the real creative and smart humor that The Simpsons really is made of.
