7.8/10 really??

Rating: 6/10 (20 February 2008)

Well don't get me wrong this is not a bad film but it's clear that fan support flatter the score.I'm a simpsons fan myself and watched the week it came out but despite some luaghs in the cinema it felt polite and out of respect.
The jokes are just down right pathetic and just too slapstick trash comedy.The trailer pretty much shows the better ones or the least worse ones anyway.Spider pig? what were they thinking???? and the plot in general was a disappointment reflecting the weaknesses that the show has had in the last seasons.An example of this neglect was Mr Burns easily the most popular non Simpson character and yet he is barely mentioned which is just bizare considering he's a natural villain.
On the positive side the animation is amazing and I cant remember the last time seeing a cartoon movie as most seem dominated and flooded by cgi.
Overall the film just played flat and a non simpsons fan may be bored as this film struggled to fill the 87 minuites and it shows.
