The Simpsons Movie

State of Being : Do the Bartman


*Gosh* Last watched The Simpsons Movie on 25 July, but just could not find the time to review it. Anw before I leave for BKK for the regional meeting later today (flight is at 810am!), here's my short assessment of the movie.

For those who's an ardent fan of the Simpsons series, you'll be thrilled to know that this movie, at 88min long, offers 3 times the amount of jokes than the TV edition. The jokes are aplenty, though "brainless" but hilarious. Who could ever forget the silly "Spider-Pig" song by Homer Simpson?! Then there are those clever one-liner jokes that just tickles your funny bone and till now my colleagues keep repeating them (read: "I was elected to LEEEAD and not to REEEAD" by President
Schwarzenegg)

Plot-wise, there just isn't much logic to the overall development of the story.
EPA places Springfield in a giant glass dome? *huh* Homer is able to defy gravity and save the day by cycling up the side of the dome to dispose the bomb? *huh huh* Simply said, be sure to just check your brain at the entrance of the cinema before you watch this movie.

On a closing note, I'll probably wouldn't pay to watch this movie in the cinema if it wasn't for our red team outing (and the tickets are FREE!!). IMHO, watching it on DVD would suffice since there are no special effects at all for this movie.

Final verdict:
Rating - (3) I Plot/Humour - (4.5) I Effects/Animation - (3)

Spotted this cardboard version of the Simpsons Family at Golden Village Marina
