disappointing....

Rating: 4/10 (31 July 2007)

I love the Simpsons, but the TV series was starting to lose me with the new episodes. I was hoping this movie wasn't going to be anything like them, but it clearly was. The plot was pretty pointless, whereas the episodes really had more heart into it. Many characters are underused, including Mr Burns who would have made a great villain (don't ignore the formula!), and I just feel that the jokes were too forced. I barely laughed out loud, but the kids in the theater will laugh at anything remotely funny. That whole spider pig thing was really dumb in my opinion, and I'm sorry but Homer acts more stupid now than he did before, which was a stupid but smart and funny as well. Only absolute die hard fans will love this movie; for everyone else, stick with the memories of the early seasons.
