Shows how bad the series has gotten.

I was once a great Simpson fan but that ended when it reached about the 13th season where the shows downward spiral really took off. I think episodes from say the 4th season are some of the greatest comedy ever written but these current episodes are just terrible. First off a foolish plot lacking in clever or funny jokes. Not only that they for some reason have gone with a flawed plot, that gives little time to any characters that might even try to give off a laugh. Not only that it feels very much like those poorly made cartoon to movie movies, in terms of its structure and animation. One big problem I felt that ruined automatically was Homer was just too much of a jerk, in older episodes he would do things that were wrong but they were generally due to stupidity in this he does it on purpose and is an unlikable character. Next over use of 3d mixed in with 2-d, it just became exceedingly annoying especially since the marketing adds said that it was in 2-d so much. Finally the voice acting is just bad. Dan Castellaneta overacts as homer, and Julie Kavner is downright awful as Marge. So awful that she changes the way she speaks for a period of the film that is awkward and bizarre. The Voice actors who have stayed good or at least are still trying over the years of the show, have few lines compared to the Simpson family.
