Well, when he comes to visit my nephew Logan does, and he decided we all need to see this movie, or see it again...
There was no doubt this movie was going to let some fans down - you can't have something on the back burner for so long without someone finding the final product less than their dreams of it. But I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and its many clever allusions to it being a movie made from a TV show. The filmmakers also did a spectacular job with the very widescreen and some new cinematic tricks to take this beyond the series's animation style.
This is another than be seen in the pristine clarity of Blu-Ray, and it is easily reached on the shelf...you know, in case you decide you want to come by and watch it...like say, tonight, or something...
And until next post, you Can Poke Me With A Fork, Cause I Am Outta Here!
I am a longtime fan of The Simpsons from way back when they were a little cartoon short on The Tracey Ullmann Show. This was hilarious and you're right, not quite what I had been dreaming about for so long. Nonetheless, Bart, Homer and crew kept me laughing.
ReplyDeleteI was pleasantly surprised at how good this movie was. Funny gags and a terrific feature length story line. The weird thing was that when this movie came out, Stephen King had just written his newest novel called "Under the Dome." The same plot as The Simpson's Movie. He said in interviews that he thought of the idea first. (Great book!)
