Travers, that Hollywood-bought hack, should give it up already!

Now we have to look at him too?

I really like Peter Travers

Pat Travers rocks!

I’ve never agreed with peter, so chances are, the simpsons movie is good

i think it’s time to call it a day w/ the simpsons…18 years seems like overkill to me. i know i am in the minority here, i have just lost interest in the show.

does he call apu, “abu”?

Ana,

Your loss

go to “We Fail At Whistler LOL” on youtube.com

I agree with Ken hands down. After a long and fruitful 10 years( I don’t count the atrocious 11-current years), “The Simpsons” need to be put down “ol’ yeller” style. During the earlier seasons, you needed to have some mental know-how to fully comprehend it. As of now, if I go back and watch the old shows, I laugh out completely. Jokes I missed as a child, I comprehend now due to my college acquired knowledge of the world. Now, the jokes are sub-par, degraded to silly humor.

Favorite Simpsons Memory- Mr. Burns recalling his childhood and rise to fortune in a parody of Citizen Kane. The funny thing about this clip was that reminisces in in sepia… After partaking in a history of photography, I realized the joke of this. Sepia was a type of photography big in the late 1800s….

This movie is fee-diddily, fi-diddily, fo-diddily, fum-diddily fucking great!!!!

Why schwarzenegger as president when Ranier Wolfcastle is already a denizen of the Simpsons universe? Seems unnecessary.

What kind of a jackass goes into the Simpsons Movie expecting Homer or Marge to die and then is disappointed when they don’t?

Lets shed some light on Travers bemoaning the lack of screen time for his favorite secondary characters. Listen closely as he calls Apu “Abu.” He’s a real die hard.

You guys are right. They should pull the plug on the pinnacle of American pop culture because a couple of internet wieners have lost interest. Though you claim the recent episodes to be beneath your comedic sensibilities, the irony of the Comic Book Guy seems lost on you. Here’s a hint: He’s you.

ABU!!!! DIEHARD!!!!HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHHAAHAHAHAHA H

Saw the movie. Loved it. Fans of the Simpsons will not be disappointed. The jokes are biting and the wit is sharp. It felt like an extension of the show, yes, but that’s not a bad thing seeing as it felt like earlier episodes and not so much the newer ones.

What Travers says about expecting a major character to die in the movie doesn’t go along with his desire for the movie to stretch beyond what has been done on the show. Characters have already died on the show, and by doing it again on the silver screen would only be a rehash of what has already been done on the show.

Simpsons did it. The show has touched on everything already. The movie can only be an extension that is either good or bad. Fortunately for us diehards, it was good.

just came back from the simpsons movie and I have to say, it was great. It was funny and definitely worth my time and money. Sure if you don’t understand what today’s culture is like you may not like it, but how do you expect that one of the main characters die? What the hell convinces you that Homer or Marge would die? No shit that the Simpsons would be one giant episode, Its called the Simpsons Movie a movie is basically a longer television show. Peter Travers just didn’t like how the Simpsons destroyed Al Gore and Bill Clinton because Rolling Stone worships both like gods and I believe they are both retarded figure heads. Just because you don’t want the Simpsons to have a great success, doesn’t mean you have to destroy it Travers.

P.S. Simpsons better than Family Guy.

I think the movie is great, they show all the caracters, even apu’s childs. You cant complain about it. I think rollings stones dont know how to review films, is not a complain, it’s just that i dont know, if i have to do something acording to your reviews i dont do nothing. The movies is what i spected, is great!

i love peter travers reviews

Once again I find that the best movies are the ones that the so-called crtics hate. But for the record, I do place a movie critic, like Travers, just below a telemarketer and a lawyer!

Simpsons movie is absolutely great! New direction, totally new comedic pace, great bits. The movie is so much different from the show.

travers is an asshat. i bet the simpsons movie is just as good as south park. after all, like they said 1 of south park’s episodes, “the simpsons have done everything” so bein that south park was hot, simpsons movie HAS TO BE just as great.

You know, movie critics are just people with opinions, so if they disagree with you, that doesn’t make them an ‘asshat.’ They’re just people who know some stuff about cinema and can articulate those thoughts into articles. So lay off, if you like a movie Travers doesn’t, who cares? No ones stopping you from seeing, or telling other people to do so. Stop taking everything so seriously, getting an ulcer over a movie review would be pretty lame.

Film critics are the psychoanalyst of cinema, in a way they know more of the films then the filmmakers them selfs and in a way they don’t know s**t.
Thanks Peter, you rock!

peter travers sounds stupid when reviewing the simpsons movie… wtf did you expect stupid? the godfather? the simpsons movie was GREAT and THE ABSOLUTE BIGGEST CLASSIC OF OUR TIME!!!

retire.

HELLO

this man is old.

Film critics are to movies as teachers are to whatever profession they couldn’t hack it as and now spend their whole life talking about

the movie was the siznit!!!! it was cool cos it didnt try to go over the top like the southpark movie or the family guy movie, not that i didnt like them, but it was nice to see that it was just like the show, the movie wasnt any “stupider” than what the show usaully is, the best part was whne the world was about to end and otto looks uyo from hitting the bong and was like “hey whats goin on?” hahaha classic stoner otto

It’s APU, not ABO…

Peter Travers is a movie critic. He knows film, and people that are insulting him here probably can’t understand why he has the job he has. If you guys were seasoned veterans and actually knew something about movies, past and present, you might not be so quick to hail a SIMPSONS movie as a “masterpiece of our time”.

ah…the ranting of fanboys.
yes, critics should be done away with because the industry demographic (teenage boys and those with the minds of teenage boys) rule the multiplex. and they don’t just go to TRANSFORMERS and STAR WARS prequels, they see the highbrow stuff like 300.

I just saw the movie and thought it was great. I would not change anything about it. I have been watching The Simpsons from the beginning and I do agree that it is far from what it was at its peak but you should not cast judgments. Give them fucking break they just made a movie and are starting on the 19 season. I know I wish it was still as fresh but its not there are some good ones every now and then, but Matt said they have been working on this movie for 6 years. They rewrote the script 100 times. Now that they are done they can focus on the show. I would give The Simpsons Movie a 10 out of 10 just because it accomplishes what it sets out to do, and that is to appeal to everyone not just the diehard Simpsons nerds and that is what truly makes the Simpsons great. You can sit down with a PhD in political science and laugh your ass off or you and sit down as a 7 year old and love it just the same. I have grown up with the Simpsons and I hope they keep going just long enough so they can end the show better then when they started. Stop hating and setting your expectations higher then the fucking moon. Oh and Lenny is right about the comic book guy and it just goes to show you how brilliant the Simpsons really is.
