I was expecting something a bit more biting, a bit more outrageous than the series.............Instead, I found myself fighting to keep my eyes open, it bored me that much. What a waste of time and energy. I just got done watching the movie and I have to say it was super boring and pointless.

I don't think anybodies arguing that the show has taken a dramatic decline in the last few years. If they decided to end it all with a movie, using the original writing team from the mid-90's, then this could have been a classic. Instead its just a slight improvement on recent standards and another sign, as if we needed one, that this show has gone on waaaay too long. Southpark got it right. They did the movie at the peak of their powers and took the grossness, not to mention the music, to a whole new level. It proved they were capable of making a full length feature film, not an extended episode, and it validated the TV show for years to come (latest series is, at times, excellent). Matt Groening, hang your head in shame. (too much?) It could have been such a great idea. I don’t think anybodies arguing that the show has taken a dramatic decline in the last few years.

The last good episodes were 7 or 8 seasons ago at this stage. It just depresses me whenever I see some of the new episodes that such a good show could let itself go so badly.

It was spoiled by the fact that the few funny bits have been playing continuously on the TV in the form of trailers. I think what ruined it for me was the audience. The hype told them the movie was brilliant, they're expectations of the Simpsons meant that it was supposed to be funny and they were damn sure to get their laughs whether it was funny or not. With that in mind you had the situation that as soon as people saw the trailer bits on the screen they started to laugh (because this was a bit they knew to be funny cause they had seen it already) which meant you couldn't hear the rest of the joke. I personally wanted to know what the rest of the SpiderPig song was..... Oh and then of course there was the buffoon sitting behind me who waited for everyone else to start laughing before he would start and then had to laugh louder than everyone else, I was afraid to turn around in case he was pointing at the screen.....

It was sporadically entertaining. People just expected too much because of the series (which is dumb, because as Damien points out the last few years were shite). With such emotional attachment/investment and high expection, no movie could have truly satisfied most Simpsons fans. Myself included. Want to see a truly awful film, then check out Michael Bay's Transformers - A Michael Bay Film... As I said in my review on my blog: "the cinematic equivalent of being raped by a bus." Tremendously cack. It wasn’t totally crap. It was sporadically entertaining.
