Story- Just like every other review out there, it's basically an hour and a half long episode. Most of the slap-stick humor is in there. Things went smoothly for the most part and it didn't seem like a half hour show stretched out. I only had a problem with the crude humor they seemed to have *forced* in there. There were at least three instances where this happens, and if you've seen the movie, you know what I mean. I expect that kind of stuff from a South Park movie, only because they do it all the time on the show. With the Simpsons, it didn't seem right.
Character Development- If you needed any character development, you must have been asleep for the last 18 years. Only a couple of new characters were introduced, but they were pretty well covered.
Visuals- Hmm, not sure what to say here. I think that more could have been done to polish up the final animation. It might just be that I'm finally seeing it on a huge screen, but I could see line imperfections on the characters (mostly Homer). I've seen 2D animation before, and never have I noticed that before. I hope I didn't ruin it for others who are going to watch the movie, because when I first noticed it, I couldn't focus on anything else. =( !
Direction- David Silverman has directed a few episodes of the Simpsons before, and did a pretty decent job. He also did Monsters, Inc. which I really liked. Other than shock-humor, he really pulled it together to not make it into the bomb everyone was expecting.
Well, just so you guys know, I did get my World Beer Tour playing cards. I'm 11 beers into it now. We also went into Nashville the weekend. Nothing too exciting happened, mostly because it's been too hot to do anything. My next big thing that I'm looking forward to is the US Open for skeet shooting. I'll be going back to New Mexico on the 6th of September for that one. As things get closer, I'll let you all know more about it.
That's all I have for now, 'till next time...
Peace,
Tony
