Teletext gave Transformers 3/5 AFAIK (same as the Simpsons movie).
Our local paper printed one of the most negative 3 star reviews (of Simpsons) I've ever read.
I wouldn't say Simpsons was a bad movie but it's certainly underwhelming.I think some Simpsons fanboys were so desperate for the movie to be a classic they are rating it higher than it deserves
You might have a point there, I really enjoyed it but I'm biased as I love the earlier seasons so much, and to be honest, it was really like watching earlier shows in places, just in movie form They showed a lot of gags (Spider-Pig, hammer in the eye etc) in the trailers though.
It's still worth seeing IMO. Will buy DVD
I think your right and your not even over here 1 star is rather low, the papers ussually lap Blockbusters up, no matter what the quality as they get paid to review them well
