This is good, but not as awesome as expected

Rating: 8/10 (10 August 2007)

The Simpsons are really lovable, great and well, smart enough, even Homer. I expected more of that large movie, to tell you the truth. I am not at all disappointed, but the movie could have been really better, I am sure. Why? What happened? Maybe, the expectation was much higher than it had to be? Maybe, the original 20 minutes series are really better? Several moments in the Movie are simply brilliant... The poor swallows that got killed against the Dome, the Green Day song, Homer on a bike... I wanted more and expected more laughs. Nay, the film is funny, but at places it was slower and dragged a bit. I wanted more of Monty Burns, Moe and Nelson. I wanted more of Bart's pranks and Lisa's sheer genius. But still, this film is a sheer pleasure to watch.
