Not too mention all this movie would appear to be is a 3 episode arc that happens to be in a theater. Why pay 10 bucks for episodes that are normally on TV (Which Fox will get on their Stations anyway)?? Sorry, but Simpsons does not do it for me anymore, it was great when it

Bart skateboarding naked was pretty funny though. Didn’t think much of the movie, was pretty bored to be honest but i’m glad that i’ve seen it. Bart skateboarding naked was pretty funny though.

Don't forget this is the first one ever, many years in the making so just about everyone who's ever wanted to see the Simpsons on the big screen finally gets to do so now. Bottomline, I don't think the actual series will be helped much unless the writing and humor can get back on track. And OnE, comparing The Simpsons to SNL is as sure a sign of death as any. :P People haven’t given up on the Simpsons yet, I too would love to watch them and actually laugh like the good ‘ol days.

People talk about how the Simpsons isn't as good as it use to be, well M. Groening just proved everyone wrong. The Simpsons has been so good these past seasons that it reflected on how great the movie is. The Simpsons is basically the cartoon version of Saturday Night Live, great writing, great jokes and is just a great combo of smart and stupid smart humor. I remember some piece of crap site wrote how Family Guy is better than The Simpsons, well I guest the movie just proved that Family Guy won't even come CLOSE to the power of Homer. I will be waiting for the sequel, even though it won't be for another 6-8 years.

Guess the die-hard Simpsons fans did it some justice. I have to think that a sequel will be greenlighted soon.... I totally didn’t see this coming….I thought it would be overhyped and underperform.
