Bravo, Bravo. I have just left the theater after consuming all 87 minutes of the first Simpsons Movie, aptly titled “The Simpsons Movie” Woo Hoo!
From the initial Itchy and Scratch short right through to the heartwarming ending, I have been on a wild emotional ride that has caused rage, nausea, side splitting & eye watering laughter, denial, fear and empathy.
To be continued…..
Immediately
I was a little disappointed to see Barts balls and tackle, to say the least, and I was shocked when Homer stuck both his middle fingers up at the entire town. These deeds are completely out of character if not for the cast, then indeed the writing staff. However, this is the first of hopefully many films and I can forgive a few cheap shots, but I cannot understand them, as the script had jokes flowing from every angle and considering it is a Simpsons episode (of sorts) they were coming thick and fast either verbally or via sight gags.
I don’t want to give too much away with this post, but I would like to grade the film a B-. Could do better but a perfect first try.
You won’t be disappointed with this movie, I know I wasn’t. I’ll be taking my Nieces and Nephews on Friday night, as promised 7 months ago, and I cannot wait to go again.
Finally the wait is over.
