Very disappointing

Rating: 5/10 (1 August 2007)

I firstly have to balance my following statements by saying that I have read some of the other reviews on this website and they are largely positive, so maybe this is only my opinion and you have the right to ignore it.. However, as a massive Simpsons fan, I would have to say that this was very disappointing stuff indeed. When the closing credits came up, I was left sitting in the movie theatre feeling cheated, and yet knowing that I have no right to feel that way as the Simpsons has given me years of pleasure. But this is actually the first time I have had to directly pay for the privilege, and it was simply not worth it. I am amazed to see so many self confessed Simpsons fans saying that they loved this film, because at the heart of classic Simpsons is a great script, one with legendary one-liner quotes, mainly from Homer, that last in the mind for years. And yet this was totally devoid of that fundamental ingredient. By all means go, but please be prepared to be let down
