The Simpsons Movie - Please Use Spoiler Tags

[ZariusTwo]

The film has been released in the UK, and I recently watched it

Spoiler:

...Well, one big blown oppertunity, but an enjoyable one nonetheless. the writers balance the comedy out with the kind of shock humour you would see in the recent episodes with the older seasons more subtle and less blatantly explained and exploited comedy.

At least two to three EXCELLENT and very well handled reminders of the show's sophistication were Marge's video farwell to Homer (the emotional wrench is she taped over their wedding to state she can't say "I love you" and she's left for good), the ending where the two make up and embrace on the bike amongst the falling leaves, and Flanders and Bart's bonding.

Flanders almost stole the film with his likeable "surrogate" role he had with a Bart reminiscent of his older characteristics, it was a real tour de force by Hank and it makes up for the waste of Mr. Burns (TWO scenes, and one is in the end credits, ridiculous)


The sandpit vortex worked for the Dome escape, but sucking in the entire Simpsons house? Did'nt like it. Lisa's boyfriend was a non-factor and existed only to give her extra lines in a film that was almost entirely about Homer and his own problems.
