I am looking forward to this Movie. It should have some real good humor in it. I agree though, you have to be a fan of the show to even think this is going to be that great on the big screen.
I saw abot five mins of the trailer one sunday night.(AT WORK)But did not get much of a chance to see what the plot is really like.I will have to drag my hushand to be to see it with me since he hates the show!
BUt I will see it when it co mes out.Not the first day but close to it!jm
I saw it yesterday and thought it was good, not long enough, but definetly entertaining and funny. it felt like a long episode, far better than last season, but not that much special.
the production value it's really high, not 3d, but you can CG in it, altough not it's not that obvious, wich it's good
love the opening: even though you've seen the last trailer, seeing Ralph doing the TU tu tu music of the 20th century fox logo, it's still funny, and then Green Day singing the "Da da da da da" of the simpsons' theme, awesome!, it's funny how they get booed for preaching
favourite quotes (that I can remember from the top of my head):
-Why pay for something that I can see on TV for free?! (Homer)
-I like men now! (Ralph Wiggum)
-(Ned Flanders)The Good Lord is telling me to confess to something...
(Homer)*crossing fingers*Gay gay gay gay gay gay
-I was elected to lead, not to read (the Governator)
-(Marge): How did the pig tracks get on the ceiling?
*cuts to Homer holding a pig to the ceiling*
(Homer): *singing Tune to Spider-Man Theme Song* Spider-Pig, Spider-Pig. / Does whatever a Spider-Pig does. / Can he swing / from a web? / No he *can't*, / cause he's a "pig". / Look out! / He is the "Spider-Pig"!
-He's not Spider-Pig anymore, he's Harry Plopper (Homer)
-(Homer): Awww, my boy loves Alaska so much he's applauding it! Lisa, why aren't you clapping?
(Lisa): But dad!
(Homer): *Pints at Lisa* Clap for Alaska!
*Lisa and Bart clap together. Avalanche shoves Homer down the mountain, into a cabin*
-...If you see me, please leave me alone! (Tom Hanks)
- I guess that's the result of 5 generations of inbreeding (Russ Cargill)

Very funny film.
I love the part with homer pretending to have a chainsaw and when the arms retract all the eyes are looking in at him.
Also when homer is escaping through the hole and moe shouts i can still see his head quick scrape at it.
I was satisfied leaving the theater...Who am i kidding i pirated the shit out of this movie, but i was satisfied getting up form my pc when the movie was over. I liked it enough to possibly pay to see it again. A few of the jokes fell flat, and as a fan of the show since the beginning i was hoping for some inside jokes. OVerall though i thought it was a great transfer to the bigscreen for the show. I didnt feel as though the movie was to long. Infact i felt as though i had spent only a half hour watching the movie. The animation was pure simpsons as was the jokes. My only dissapointments is that i was hoping for a bit more mature jokes as well as something that would have connected the entire history of the show. As a simpsons fan however, i was satisfied and even appreciated the heart they included into the movie that used to be an ingrediant of the show. id give it 7/10 as a comedy and an unoffensive family film

Just got back and to be honest it was better than I was expecting, but not as good as I was hoping.
It had a few moments of emotion and heart, which is the main thing lacking in the newer episodes, but these moments felt forced and melodramatic, almost like the writers forgot how to make them organic and natural over the years. Still, at least they tried and the scenes were somewhat effective.
The humor was a bit all over the place. Some jokes got laughs, but the movie was missing those "that will go down in history" joke that some of the great episodes have in spades. Some jokes just failed, the whole spider pig thing was dumb.
Still a fun movie, though. Definitely enjoyable, just don't go in expecting anything like the great episodes of lore and you'll enjoy it.
There were some inside jokes for series fans, though. Particularly when they attempt jump over springfield gorge, keep your eyes open at that point and you'll catch a nice little ode to what may be the first truley great simpsons episode - Bart the Daredevil.
I just got back from the theater and I must say I enjoyed this movie. I'm not going to write a review or anything, but I will say that it wasn't perfect, but it definitely did not suck. The only thing that truly pissed me off was the fact that my favorite Simpsons character, Groundskeeper Willie, didn't have any screen time.

My philosophy on this movie is simple.
Never in my life I paid to see an episode of The Simpsons. I get it for free on national TV. My local Fox network channel shows at least 3 episodes of The Simpsons every day. So I see no reason to buy a ticket and go watch the movie. Much less even getting the DVD when it's release.
I'll wait 3 years from now when the movie is shown on national tv (which I'm sure Fox will aired the movie at least 100 times) to watch it. I'm not a Simpsons fan like I was before. Hope you guys have fun. Be back in a couple of years with a review.
I used to think that was a bandwagon opinion, though it's now clear to me everyone has independently come to individual, literate conclusions on the matter.
The first nine seasons are great, but afterwards it really lost its' touch. Although I hear this is a return to form, hopefully I'll catch it tomorrow.
