The Simpsons Movie
A fitting, relevant and hilarious tribute to a 20-year phenomenon. It’s definitely for fans but - then again - whoisn’ta fan?
If there ’s ever been a more reassessment - proof feature of speech celluloid in the chronicle of the spiritualist , somebody talk up now because I sure as shooting ca n’t think of one . After 18 seasons and a duad of age of boxershorts onThe Tracey Ullman Show , the motion picture unveiling ofThe Simpsonshas been nothing if not highly anticipated . However , early concerns about the protracted track fourth dimension and whether or not the writers could extend up new jokes deserving paying for were previous . I ’m happy to sayThe Simpsons Movieis witty , original and makes the changeover to the ash grey screen almost flawlessly .
This is n’t to say the flick is without its problems . Sadly , it isn’tthatperfect . But the fact of the issue is that it was never going to be - and what you get from it will depend on what you wanted from it . If you go in wait your personal favorite character - of literally hundreds to choose from - to shine , you ’ll more than likely be let down . Most get only a few moment in the spotlight at best ( and this admit second - tier ace like Mr. Burns , Apu , Moe and Chief Wiggum ) . Me ? I want classicSimpsons(with , I hold , some Ralph ) and the film is all that and more .
Oh , and for the phonograph record , I ’m one of those guy cable who no longer has any idea which episodes are new and which are repeats . In fact , I swear I ’ve only fancy a fistful of new episodes since the act of the century . This pic , for me , is about nostalgia - and I was more than felicitous to yield the price of admission .
While a lot has been tell of the first human action and how it compare to the " Best . sequence . Ever " before dragging in the concluding time of day , I actually have to disagree to some extent . Sure , the wit is top nick in the familiar daily life Springfield and that ’s majuscule . But I - for one - found it difficult to get my bearings with so much go on . The ease comes as the kinsperson escapes a sanguinary syndicate in Springfield and journey to Alaska , where they become tear between their loyalty to Springfield and their love for Homer . While still offering a long ton of laughs , it was in these scenes that I was able-bodied to sit back and take in the larger compass of the tale . Perhaps it ’s my honey for a good tale over slapstick drollery , but it simply would have been too much of a centripetal overload if the other pace continued for a full 90 minutes .
Overall , the film is precisely what it should be : a way - better - than - average funniness about a well - substance yet incompetent Dad and his home . The icing on the donut , you might say , are all the little gags for those of us who ’ve watchedThe Simpsonsfor years . From a particularly naive announcement by Ralph Wiggum and two - decade - in - the - reach payoff for Martin and Otto , to an is - he - or - isn’t - he terminal moment for Dr. Nick Riviera , the film does n’t skimp on the supporting plaster cast . It plainly focuses much more on what ’s of import .
If you’re able to get past your preconceptions and the shock to the system of watchingThe Simpsonson the big screen , I ’d say this is well the blockbuster film of the year . Oh , and it looks great , too !
