Simpsons Movie

[Sirotnikov]

I saw it a few hours ago.


It was a late show, started at half past midnight and yet the place was almost full.

All in all it was a very good movie, and I give it an 8.5/10. Some very very funny bits (spider pig ROCKS!), and definitely feels bigger and more involving than the usual episode.

I might have rated it higher, had the screening went well.

Sadly, there were several problems.

First, as we were walking in, I mentioned to my buddy that I hope not to meet anyone familiar. Then we bumped into several people whom I don't tolerate well from school. Then we found it we were sitting right next to each other. But that wasn't too bad.

Second, the movie quality was poor. It is the theater's fault. The picture was out of focus and under-saturated. The sound was atrocious. It is as if someone only plugged in the woofers, and practically disabled stereo. The sound was really poor. But this wasn't too bad.


Behind us, sat a group of really really loud and annoying guys. They kept laughing REALLY LOUD during the entire movie. They were annoying and stupid. Each time there was a tiny joke, and even where there wasn't, they'd be all like "Wow dude, this scene is totally RAD! HAHAHAAHA!!! PPFFFTZZZZ!! HAHAHAH!! JESUS, THIS IS FUNNY STUFF!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! AWESOME!!!!".

I kept thinking of stabbing them, as they got the wind blown out of every single good joke, by laughing and commenting disproportionately. You have no idea how annoying it is to sit with a bunch of obnoxious loudmouths over-reacting to the movie.

Not to mention they were really stupid and really yelled at some stupid gore jokes and never got the smarter jokes. And one of the guys was pink, chubby and had a small pony patch of hair, and looked like Homer's pig. What stupid ass losers.


Other than that, it was a really fun movie

I frequently laugh out loud at things. I did not do this, however, at the Simpsons preview. At all. I hope the movie is funnier, but as of right now I won't see it unless my friends bug me to go with them.

Best. Movie. Ever.

Oh man I hate such people. I mean there are parts in good movies where everyone shows a reaction (laughs, whatever), but people like these, who destroy every movie experience by their stupid behaviour should just be banned from theatres alltogether

Just got back from seeing it (in an amazing theater, unaccosted by people I hated or boorish losers) and it was great! only complaint: too little of the secondary characters (except Flanders and Grandpa). Otherwise, way better than I thought it would be.

I thought it was pretty good - some decent jokes, and it managed not to suck. But there were a lot of jokes that were targeted to an American audience, and ultimately it couldn't compare to some of the very best Simpsons eps (Homer Badman, Rosebud, Last Exit to Springfield). Ah well - it would've been hard to do that anyway.

How could they kill Dr Nick Riviera

Too much Simpsons and too little Springfield imo

Agreed.
Though it was a short movie and had to be about the family.

Is it worth seeing this at the cinema (the expense, the travel, the potential of annoying people) or would the film fare just as well on the small screen? I'd assume it would be ok on a TV screen since that's how you watch the shows... but it looks like it has some souped up 3D CG and more fluid animation so it might warrant a trip to the cinema?

I think it is, because laughing at it with normal people is quite cool.

Also the graphics are better and have shading and all tons of hidden 3D effects. So even if you watch it at home, you should have a large TV.
