how sad.....

Rating: Null/10 (30 July 2007)

How sad to see what was once a witty, exceptionally creative well run so horribly dry. There are some chuckles, but almost any earlier Simpsons' TV episode (the latter seasons continue a fairly steady nosedive)would blow this insult to fans off the planet. The animation has more angles and camera moves but the wry wit is long gone. Having the Simpson's swear or give the finger just dumbs it all down even more. A pity. What could have been a well crafted gift to the long standing fans arrives like a used knick knack from a dollar store. It's already performing incredibly at the box office so a sequel is perhaps a definite. But lets hope they bring back the original writers. Or make a two hour "Tree House Of Horror" episode (though even those have lost their spark in recent seasons), which couldn't possibly be as bland as this film. Let's hope.
