Title: Simpsons Movie
Post by: Coded on July 26, 2007, 10:41:14 AM
Saw the showing yesterday. Maybe i wasnt in the mood or something, but i just didnt enjoy it.

I felt like all the best jokes had been shown in the trailer, so they werent funny anymore.

Maybe i just missed something because one of my mates said it was the best film ever....

anyone else seen it?

Also saw it yesterday, was a good laugh but not amazing. I agree that a lot of the best jokes were shown in the trailer. Well worth watching though!

Is it better than the South Park Movie?

wasnt a very good movie.  It was a bit like an episode that went on for 2 hours.  Laughed at a couple of bits but meh.

Not a must see at the cinema.  Itll be worth watching when its out on tv.  Once.  It just wasnt anything special.

Completely fair assesment, I agree 100%

Again, agree 100%, pretty criminal of them tbh.


I guess they have my money, so job done on their behalf, I will certainly be telling people not to bother mind.

i never said it would be a bad thing, you assumed i meant that :D

simpsons has lost some of the magic it once had, writers getting older, fading talents. But nearly 9/10 on the rating is a bit daft, too many people coming home and going OMG!! and voting 10 lol. An extended simpsons episode doesnt deserve a 10 :s

Watched it yesterday. Agreed with the other postings, laughed at some bits, its just a 90min episode as previously mentioned. Was strange seeing them in "3D" :D

Id say 7/10

I laughed at the time but as soon as I got out of the cinema, it just felt like I wasted and hour and half of my life.

Thoroughly enjoyed it yet left quite unsatisified at the same.  It felt more like a celebration of the Simpsons rather than a movie.

The first half was good and really funny, but the second half was pretty boring tbh.

Overall... disappointing.

Best jokes in the trailer, found myself checking my watch as it went on as I felt like time was dragging.
