The Simpons Movie
CookedHaggis:
Is The Simpson's Movie as clever or as original as the South Park movie? No. Is it consistently funny? Yes, very much so. Successful joke follows successful joke, some don't follow but rather pile up, a carcrash twisted metal mass of funny. The best lines are still the throw-away satire:
- Dad, do something!
Homer quickly skims through the Bible
- There's no answers in here!
Perhaps surprisingly, there's very little emphasis on supporting characters, this is, for better or worse, definitely the Simpsons family movie. Favourite characters have a line, or less, but it might be for the best; focussing on the family means the story actually has some resonance. I'd say it's the best thing out at the moment, but that's scant praise and it deserves more.
SleeperCylon:
I saw it today. I thought it was great.
It's obvious they had the same worries some of us did. That it would only be a two hour episode, or it wouldn't live up to the standards of early Simpsons. But the attention to detail and the amount of work put into it was obviously apparent through the whole movie.
One of the few TV show turned movies in history to actually do the TV show justice. (It's pretty much just this and South Park).
CmonMiracle:
I thought it was really boring. However, I don't watch the TV show so maybe that is why.
Aimless:
Yeah Jen, having seen the show might help :P how've you managed to avoid it??
I saw it last night, and I loved it. It was kinda like sitting at home with a thousand friends watching Simpsons on a huge TV, but it also def. felt like a movie. It was funny (had everyone in stitches throughout), it was FUN (the writers musta had a kickass time writing in eg. the piss-takes of regular eps), it was touching (for those of us who know and love the family <3)... the only major problem I had was with the villain. He kinda sucked, but fortunately that didn't ruin things much at all.
I'd recommend any fan to go see it =) however, be warned--Spider-Pi is better in the trailer.
