Not the best

Rating: 4/10 (24 July 2007)

An extremely exciting premier with none more excited than myself. Missing out on the start of my Tuesday poker game I would have put my car into a wall to see it. The Simpsons writers have always been very clever and from what I had read, this was to be a back to basics format of high content wit. Maybe I am being too critical but once the hype dies down not likely I think. A very Luke warm affair unfortunately. Laughs were continuous throughout the movie as you would expect from an over-hyped crowd including myself. It seems that the creativity levels have been drained with the Simpsons franchise. Whilst I watch new episodes on TV they are a little hit and miss. I really felt the movie was a bloated version of this. There were some cracker lines and clever scenes but it really was just an average episode/movie. See it for yourself as it did look lovely on the big screen!
