I hadn't watched the Simpsons movies in many years and thought it was meh, now that I happened to see it on TV, I realize how fucking awful it's. It's the definition of soulless; it has nothing going for it. Not a single gag has any rewatchability, while many jokes from the Classic Simpsons still hold up.
And as a movie, it doesn't take advance of its larger budget, it might as well have been a two-part episode.
It also has pedantic errors that reek of writers who just don't give a fuck:
>Comic Book Guy and Mr. Burns are shown in the church
They clearly just wanted to fulfill the church with recurring characters, but when you put CBG and Burns there becomes odd because these characters are all but religious.
>Flanders shows up in his home when Bart leaves to skate for Krusty Burger, but when he arrives there, Flanders is already there
This is pedantic, but still...
>Simpson residence is next to the border of Springfield
Which it never was, but hey, the shitty writing demands it.
Even by the Zombie Simpson standards, the movie is awful
The movie just isn't really a Simpsons type of story at all. It's some generic Hollywood plotline with some Simpsons characters dropped lazily into it.
When will the “Simpsons used to be good” meme finally end? Fans have always (ALWAYS) hated new episodes, but then 90s kids flooded the fanbase, (wow ha ha MONORAIL, STEAMED HAMS, XD, this’ll never ever ever EVER EVER EVER EVER get tiring!) and it makes me hate whatever I found good in the original seasons all the more. The Simpsons can never be remotely watchable again, the fans can never be remotely human again, and fuck anyone who still cares about this rotting corpse that stands for EVERYTHING wrong with modern television!
I remember watching the movie back in 07 and was disappointed by it too. Throw in Green Day and Spider Piggy. Easily forgettable. Now you want to know what cartoon movie is pretty decent? The 2004 Spongebob Movie.
Shut up retard.
I'll disagree. this movie is funny as fuck. It does take advantage of its budget. There's shit they could never have done in the TV show. The writers very much did care. If you listened to the commentary, you'd know. I find it so ridiculous that you think the writers decided who would be in the background of shots. The Simpsons Residence changes wherever it can be. How is it shitty writing? Springfield changes every other episode.

I never got the hate for the Simpsons Movie. It was like an extremely good episode that just came out of nowhere when new episodes at the time were pretty bland and mediocre.

You're saying that 90s kids have superior taste than the ones who always complained about Seasons 1-11?
It was very dull and played it way too safe.
