For 18 years people have waited to see everyone’s favorite animated, non prehistoric family on the big screen…and the results couldn’t be more disappointing. The Simpsons movie is more of a dragged out episode than an actual movie( if this were the days of “Mr. Plow” or “Marge vs. the monorail” that would not be such a bad thing, But the quality of the simpsons has vastly decreased since then). There isn’t anything that really seems ”Simpsons Movie” about it. There’s no show altering events, no major character deaths, no real changes in humor, all we get is some unfunny Irish kid and the unlaughable spider-pig(its NOT funny).
The movie itself is also as unfunny as the past several seasons, I can only really remember two or three scenes that I actually found funny. The rest is just the same poorly thought out, forced humor that has(unfortunately) become to familiar with the once great series. Homer still has his moments, but even he isn’t what he used to be.
Another problem this movie had was that it practically abandoned most of the series’ most memorable characters(with Ned Flanders being the only non-simpson to have more then 3 minutes on screen). I know the Simpsons has far too many characters to focus on them all in one movie, but when you bump Mr. Burns to a one scene appearance, then you have crossed the line!!
Overall the Simpsons movie was a HUGE let down for what it should have been, but with the current state of the series, it comes as no surprise.
There is nothing, NOTHING funny about Spider-pig!!
