What did you think about the Simpsons movie? (that is if you seen it yet)

[terrormask]

I havn't seen it yet, is it worth the money and time to go see? Don't ruin(post) anything that's gonna happen in the movie, I just want to know your honest opinion, was it good or bad?

I am seeing it tomorrow night and let you know what I think at that time.

I bet it's going to rule. That new Burger King commercial with Krusty does, at any rate. :3

[GUTS]

Its super funny, like 3 really good episodes put together.  Plus no songs or any bullshit like that, just non-stop hilarious stuff.  It was worth every penny.

Is it like the last several seasons(basically since 2002 when the quality of the show dropped off the face of the planet) or is it more like the early to mid 90's when the show was in it's prime(& funny)?

I never got into the Simpsons, but I do want to see this movie.

Its entertaining, but won't be as rewatchable as the TV episodes. Its kinda like a pre-relaunch Family Guy movie.

There is an actual story, but its kinda clunky and only serves as a backdrop for a series of funny jokes/gags, which are much more adult oriented than The Simpsons TV show(more in line with Family Guy).

[GUTS]

The quality of the simpsons has been consistent for the last 15 years, the first 3 seasons were the weakest.  I know, I've seen every single episode at least 4 times.

That depends on taste, most people I know personally, don't like the Simpsons anymore because the writing just got dumb, & I figured it out, atleast for me, 2001 was the last year where the show was consistently funny.  I can't quite put my finger on what changed, it seems cruder, but, I don't think that's it.  It just......is dumber or something.  Like, they started making Homer too dumb. 

Occasionally, there will be an episode that's decent, but it's rare.  This is just my own view of it.  Though, in a recent article interviewing the creators of the show, one of them noted there's alot of hardcore fans, that don't like the newer Simpson shows, & that it's golden age was between season 3 & 5 which is around what I consider the golden age, though, my so called golden age is much broader then that.  And the first couple seasons of the show, don't do much for me either, though I still enjoy them more then the newer ones.

Edit-And why is this in console chat???

[Black Tiger]

There was a period, a few seasons in a row early on, when it was great. But then it became too connect-the-dots'ish and has been consistant like that ever since, like GUTS said.

Its not bad, its just not something I try to watch every Sunday night when new episodes are on their first run anymore. I wouldn't mind buying all the seasons on dvd and watching them in a row... if they were like $10 each(what is this, like the 19th season or something?).

[Keranu]

are you more of a southpark guy?

Yeah you could say so, though I'm not really into the series past the first few seasons. Beavis & Butthead rules them all though!

I never got into the Simpsons, but I do want to see this movie.

Hah, I can't quite explain it. I tend to like movie versions of cartoon series and the movie previews for The Simpsons movie looks more appealing to me for some reason.

[Turbo D]

Yeah beavis and buthead rule! eh he he he

[nat]

I just saw the movie. It's worth it even if you're just a casual fan, like me.

The funniest part by far was the "spider pig" bit. I nearly fell out of my chair. Plus they kept playing that song over and over in the background. Priceless.
