Disappointing!

Rating: 7/10 (28 July 2007)

I was very disappointed about the Simpson's Movie, I'd prefer watching the TV show instead of the movie. The story is very simple and it feels like you watching a over long episode.
They should have taken the Simpson's to new limits in the movie, Like what Trey Parker and Matt Stone did with the South Park Movie. But the director and the producers just left it the same and even sometimes toned down the contact such as swearing, violence, nudity and adult themes, sometimes shown a normal episode of the Simpson's. OK you see Bart's penis and Otto smoking from a bong. But remember in a early episode you see Homer smoking pot in his bedroom to make himself better.
The Animation of the movie is different too, its got 3D back rounds with normal 2D characters in center but overall the Animation is great. Even the normal characters have changed for the movie, Homer is is a selfish pig that doesn't care for his family, Bart turns to Ned Flanders as a father figure, Lisa falls in love with a Irish boy, Marge overreacts, Ralph turns gay are just of the some that change for the movie.
I'm not totally giving this movie the flop but it should have been more then the TV show and something different but it seems the produces and director run out of idea's very quick, even the movie's running time is short only running for 85 minutes. It seems they waited too long for a movie since they show has aired for more then 16 years. They should had made this 10 years ago when they still had idea's. Still go and see this movie but don't expect anything different.
