People have a tendency to approach something they loved in their younger years with caution when it later (a decade or more) makes it way on the big screen. It happened with Star Wars and it sure as hell has happened with The Simpsons. People are too stuck up about these things and it’s almost like they go into the cinema knowing there is no way it isn’t going to fail.
I have been watching The Simpsons when it first aired here in the UK. I’d watch it everyday. I stopped watching the newer seasons solely because I don’t have Sky One anymore (or at uni). But when I watched it, I really liked it. I wasn’t overly impressed, but then again I wasn’t disappointed either. It worked on so many levels and got right what it tried to achieve. Saying that, I don’t think it holds up well on the big screen and is at it’s best when on the small screen. 90 minutes is too long to uphold such high quality in a cinematic setting.
I will be going to watch it a 2nd time on Saturday as it will be my little sister’s first time of going to the cinema. I’m going to try and make it memorable.
