Watched it yesterday (well, technically two days ago) and it was way, WAY better than I expected! Having seen the trailers, I was incredibly put off by the seemingly over-the-top, slapstick, low-brow humour that made up the entire trailer (e.g. with the wrecking ball… did he NEED to swing between the rock and A Hard Place so many times? I think we get the joke!), and so I had low expectations for the movie.
But fortunately, I was proven wrong! The trailers, in my opinion, featured the least funny of the jokes in the movie. There’s plenty of wit and subtle humour in the actual film, my favourite scenes being the one with Homer and his “chainsaw” and the sequence of naked Bart on his skateboard. There were also a number of touching moments too. I do recommend people go see the movie. To me, it’s a win-win; if you hated the trailer, you might still enjoy the movie, if you liked the trailer, you would most likely enjoy the movie. It was a solid and entertaining film.
What I *didn’t* expect was a whole chunk of the credits going entirely to Korean people… they were the animators. Also, if you’re going to see the film, don’t leave straight after, there’s a silly “Simpsons anthem” towards the end of it.
