94th Minute Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 I saw it this afternoon, and got to say, it was brilliant.I was worried that the standard was going to be similar to that of the recent simpsons episodes...but it was awsome.Anyone else seen it, what do you recon?I'd definitely recommend it to anyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

court_bcfc Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 I'm going to see it soon! I can't wait all the trailors look awesome The funny thing is that apparently only 20% of whats in the trailors is actually in the film. Can somebody who's watched it clear that up or is it just false information, as i knew Groening didnt want to give the plot away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of it has been cut differently, so a scene from a trailer doesn't exactly show what happened in the film; but I realyl don't remember anything being that amazingly different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinman-is-god Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 Average at best i would say, which is depressing as the show is one of the best on TV. Left the cinema feeling dissapointed that the simpsons produced a mediocre film which wasn't actually very funny. Obviously it had its moments, but overall i'd say 5/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty H Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Watched it this evening and I thought it was very good. The opening gag about gullible cinema audiences paying good money to watch something they could watch at home for free was risky but perfect I thought. By no means brilliant, but every bit as good as you would expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgive me if I'm wrong but I don't remember seeing him in it which is a shame.He was in it at the Green Day concert with Mrs Krabappel on his shoulders - she pulled her jacket open to reveal a T-shirt that read "He's not My Boyfriend".I know, I know, I should get out more ...Classic film - you knew it was going to be great right from the 20th Century Fox logo ..."Spider-pig, spider-pig, does whatever a spider-pig does Can he swing from a thread ?

Taz Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Personally I thought that it was great, would actually pay to see it in the cinema again (even though my girlfriends mum paid for us for taking her younger brother and sister, but still )Will definately buy it on DVD when it comes out.

southy354 Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Found it really average for one of the best cartoons ever to be made.Couple of bits made me laugh, but the plot was average and it was boring for parts in the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Eamer Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 I agree with Tinman-is-god and southy354. It seemed to get weaker and weaker as it went on and it was hugely disappointing. If it was squashed down into a regular episode it would've been pretty good but it was extended so much and there was so much filler it was really quite boring. Before the whole save the world stuff came in it was good but when that all started it dragged on so much. There are a lot of jokes which are quite funny but overall the start of the film sums it up when it says everyone in the theatre are idiots to pay to see something they can see on TV for free.

I enjoyed the film. There were occasions where I thought well I should be laughing now. Could have been better but it's still a fairly decent movie.For me it seems the film industry is slowly dying a painful death. There not a lot left to do that hasn't been done before.I used to be really into films but over the past two years there hasn't been anything that has really tickled my fancy. The only films I have half enjoyed is Severence, Outlaw, Cashback, And I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fat Controller Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 Really Severance? That film was a shocker too.Thats why films, for the purposes of this analogy, are much like posts on OTIB.A matter of opinion. People enjoy different things, if we all liked the same stuff life would be boring and what would you have to argue about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
