THE SIMPSONS MOVIE REVIEW

I was prepared to be disappointed by The Simpsons Movie. Afterall, I haven't enjoyed the show for years. I think something happened to it sometime back, like what happens to all great TV series that go on too long; characters become too ridiculous, the situations increasingly far fetched. This happened to The X Files, Friends, even the last series of Father Ted. Simply put, the writers run out of ideas.

So my thinking on The Simpsons, the first ten years amazing, the next eight years, not so amazing.

Luckily the movie was better than I thought it would be. Quite enjoyable actually. Its seems too long, while being too short. I don't know why that is.

It has some really clever moments that are worth going for.

The opening credits and the closing credits were the best bits for me.

And look how many Asian animators are on that credit list!

Crazy.

You just want a star rating don't you? Or a mark out of ten.

Hmmmmmmmmm,

7.5 out of 10.

3.5 stars.

I always wanted to be a film critic. But this is terrible writing.

I'll get better.
