I saw the Simpsons on the premiere this friday... it was good ^^
though to some degree, probably because we're more used to the simpsons as a tv series, it felt more like an hour and half long stand-alone episode
that being said, I did enjoy it... the visual quality was better than the series, more smooth and computer-animated (kind of like Futurama)
the story was easy to follow and didn't wander off
there was a good mix between serious moments to move the plot forward, and humor that caused hysterical laughter in the theatre, and the humor was very... well... simpson-like
there were quite a few jokes that you knew could never happen, but at the same time you could see them happening (if you don't get my point, you probably will if/when you see it)... lots of parodies, innuendos and a fair share of satire on the US government
among other things it only took a few minutes for the town of springfield to whipe out a famous Punk-Rock band ^^
oh, you also finally got a bit of an idea of where springfield is, geographically
all and all, I give it 9/10 (really, really good, but not quite perfect ^^ can't put my finger on it, but it felt like something was missing)
BORK!
