Confession: my husband and I are HUGE Simpsons fans. We have every season on DVD that has been released to date and a house full of figures, t-shirts, and ... I can best sum it up with one of the great true-isms of our home and every conversation we have: "Everything comes back to the Simpsons." That being said, we speculated in detail for months about the movie. Would it (like some of the Star Trek movies and the X-Files movies, which come immediately to mind) just turn out to be a good-but-not-great episode? Would they use real actors or the animated characters? Would they pack in as many celebrity cameos as they could possibly fit into 90 minutes? We'd finally decided that the only possible storylines that could "carry" a movie would be Homer's mother coming home and falling for Flanders, or that the "mystery" behind what happened to Marge's father would at last be revealed. Thin, perhaps - but we figured the talent could pull it off easily. WRONG!!!! Without missing a beat, the movie starts with the Simpsons' trademark in-your-face sarcastic humor, and the ball stayed in play for the beginning through the end with a storyline so creative and ingenious, neither of us had considered it in our wildest fantasies! That's Matt Groening, and THAT is why The Simpsons is still alive and fresh after decades. If you missed it in the theater, be sure to sit all the way through the credits. You do NOT want to miss Maggie's first clearly-understandable word. Another nice and long-overdue little feature was included in the closing credits: as each voice talent was credited, a thumbnail portrait catalog of all the major characters each actor voices was included. GREAT touch ... and Tess, Marcia and the others got the equal billing they deserve! It was a huge and glorious adventure - far too grand in scale to be broken into "to be continued" episodes. It was a MOVIE. A meaty, substantial movie with a great plot, plenty of twist, and a highly satisfying ending. This is NOT just a long episode - it's a work unto itself. Far exceeding our hopes, the troop did not let us down. The Simpsons Movie is worth owning just as a REALLY funny movie - whether or not you've ever been in to the Simpsons. If you *are* into the show, this is an absolute MUST-HAVE ... but you already knew that. Worth every minute and every penny. An instant CLASSIC!Vollständige Rezension lesen
Going in to see the movie, I was skeptical. Thinking to myself, oh it will just be a extended episode, or bunch of episodes crammed into a movie. But I was pleasantly surprised with the MOVIE. Since the Simpsons have been around now for around 20 years, I had gotten tired of watching them about 5 years ago. So I do not consider myself an avid Simpsons follower (my older brother on the other hand, can't get enough). Anyhow, I am not a huge fan, but when I need a laugh, I will watch a new episode. The movie itself, brought in it's own essence. And did not come off like a extended episode at all. It was quite enjoying to watch a full lenght Simpsons movie, and kinda hope for a sequel (LOL). I did not see it in the theaters, I watched it first in standard DVD at my brothers house, and enjoyed it so much, I bought the BD version. Yes the quality of the BD compared to the SD version, is quite obvious. The colors are MUCH more vivid on the BD version, same applies to the sound (crystal clear) and has some good use of the surrounds, and a tad hint of LFE here and there (not knock off your socks bass, but enough to fit the movie well). Actually before I purchased it on eBay, I had it sent from my Netflix account (even though I had just watched it the day before). It is a movie that is VERY easy to recommend, specially for any Simpson fans or animated movie fans of all ages. Nothing that bad in the movie, that I would call offensive (even for about a 10 year old). Granted that is going by todays standards, but I can see where it might get a PG-13 rating (but heck, the TV series, I have seen worse). You are bound to get a few chuckles from your favorite character, each one has good sized parts, and plenty of lines. I would say this is a keeper, not a rental (unless you are not much of a Simpsons fan). So if you like the Simpsons, save your rental for another movie and buy this one. Solid 4 1/2 Stars!!!!!!! ;)Vollständige Rezension lesen
The Simpsons Movie is the redemption of one of the biggest sitcom series in American history. This movie was this one in a lifetime opportunity for Matt Groening and his cast for making a great impression about the series. They had the opportunity to put in display their creative minds and make this movie a great one. And I have to say, they did not disappointed. The jokes are good, the situations random as they can be and the bluffing about other series and movies: FANTASTIC!!! It is a great movie to watch, not for kids for obvious reasons but for teenagers and adults, it will make you LOL (Laugh Out Loud).
This movie made justice to our beloved cartoon. It’s a movie of adventure, laughs, and the meaning of donuts. With a couple of serious scenes and aspect sot the script, this movie was able to bring in the viewer to feel happiness, sadness, love, and even anger. It’s a wonderful film with non-stop hour and so-many-minutes of laughter. What makes it even better is that the jokes within the movie were recognizable to regular viewers of the shows but also understood by those who, for some unknown and probably ludicrous reason, do not watch the show. As a lover of the Simpsons I could not get enough, I currently own all 11 seasons of The Simpsons on DVD as well as the movie and I highly recommend this movie to all those people who are looking for a good laugh and some really high-quality entertainment. This movie is definitely and unquestionably worth its price! You’ll want to watch it again and again! The DVD also has lots of special features which allow you to play with Homer as he tries to save the family and with the director’s commentary, regular viewers can hear all the hilarious jokes that were sadly cut from the movie. And to those Simpsons-fans who have not watched this movie, you’ll eb happy to know that the changes in the movie will not change in the show, so no, Lisa does not have a boyfriend in the show. Great movie! But it NOW.Vollständige Rezension lesen
The Simpsons is an old time classic. Everybody watched The Simpsons at one time or another in their life. I probably watched it more than others, so when the movie came out it gave grown-up me a chance to enjoy one of my child hood favorites. We liked everything about the movie..It was hilarious. The Simpsons comedies made references on subjects from the network big wigs who canceled them to the hilarious comedy of our government. The plot was even entertaining. I won't go into details for those of you who haven't seen it. Moreover, the picture quality was excellent. This was the first Blu-Ray movie I had experienced and it was remarkable. Even Being a cartoon the picture was surprising better than in standard definition. We watched the movie three times and didn't find anything that we didn't liek about it. Overall we were very pleased with what we saw.Vollständige Rezension lesen
