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!!!!!!! ;)
