I gave the simpsons movie a 6 because while it was funny on some parts, and deep in others, and was a great ride... it had SO MUCH to live up to in my opinion. I would say I have a bias opinion on this movie.

The "spiderpig" song is quite catchy, as is the simpson's theme by greenday. My hope was that the simpsons brand, which had been due for a movie for about 10 years, would end with this movie... perhaps homer dying or something in a funny way.

As a simpson's fan.. I was entertained, but in a way mildly let down.

My opinion is the opposite! I came into it with the highest expectations ever, so naturally I knew that I would probably be disappointed, but it SO exceeded all my expectations. I'd give it a 10.

I haven't watched it yet - I have loved the simpsons over the years - for it's pure genius - I expect this movie to be a let down.

My 3 year old suddenly started singing spider pig in the car around the time the movie came out - although I thought that amusing - it added to my expectation that the movie wouldn't hit the mark

Have to agree on that conclusion.
Problem with simpsons is that the episodes are usually so good that it is tricky to make a film that doesn't look like anything more than a long episode.

Yes, it WAS like a long episode. Everyone says that, but I don't see how it's a problem. The episodes are good, and a long episode is even better!

Ok, maybe a 9 or a 9.5. :)

It's not a problem, I just expected another level, but I guess there wasn't one :)
