The Simpsons - Movie

Me and Tammy went and watched the Simpsons on Saturday so i thought i would share my thoughts on the experience.

Firstly i would like to point out that at £7.50 per ticket plus about 6 quid each in drink, ice cream and popcorn i can see why people download movies rather than give more to the Fascist B@stards (up the revolution).

I went to the Odeon in Cardiff Bay which is a nice enough cinema, except i went on a Saturday afternoon so it was full of kids but the ones sat by us were OK. The bloke behind though had a stupid laugh and seemed to be easily amused, which got very annoying.

The film itself was OK. The humour was there and it had many of the ongoing humour from the show, such as Nelson going HaHa. The story itself was a bit predictable but the humour made up for that. I didn't find myself thinking how long have i been sat here, which is a good sign. Matt Groening made sure that the film at 1hr 20 contained enough different humour to last the whole movie too.

Overall i liked the movie but would i recommend it? I left the movie happy that i had watched a comedy film, but on reflection i would have to say that there is nothing there that you don't get on TV and that maybe the Simpsons should be kept to a 20 minute show.

I suppose Homer sums it up the best when he says " why would people pay to watch something that you can watch on TV for free." Obviously there are no license fees in America!!!!!!!

I did get a stupid free Simpsons hat though and when i work out blue tooth i will post it on here.
