The simpsons movie?

I am a massive fan of the simpsons and i went to see the movie the other day and want to ask you all "what was all the fuss about" it was no better than an extended version of one of the average tv episodes,i liked it but was dissapointed because i thought it would have been a lot lot better!! :-(all this time to wait for a simpsons movie and then it isnt even that great,i hope they dont bother with a sequel unless its gonna be a vast improvement on this attempt :-(

I thought the same. it was a huge disappointment. it started off ok but then really started to drag. i fell asleep at some point in the middle but woke to see the end.it had a extremely basic plot but most of the jokes were missing. there were some nice touches and in-jokes, like the ambulance at springfield gorge, but overall it was a big let down. even if this had been released as a tv xmas special it would have been disappointing.
