Over-rated and Under-delivered

The Simpsons Movie - has to be the most anticipated yet disappointing movie I can think of. I watched it a few days after its release, after being told that it was "Excellent", "Great", "Brilliant" and a whole host of other things. Well it wasn't, it was a big fat disappointment to me.

Now most people may disagree, but a 30 minute episode of the Simpsons can have e in stitches for 28 minutes, this 90 minute plus offering had me laughing for about 6 minutes in total.

Yes there is a bit of originality with the plot itself, but also a lot of re-hashed ideas from both previous episodes and other shows.

I was really looking forward to this movie for years, something different, not the usual killing spree, satanic monster or biblical do-gooder, but in the end, its the same as the rest - the 3 trailers I've seen show all but 2 of the best parts of the movie.

But thats just me - maybe you'll enjoy it.
