Futurama: The Beast with a Billion Backs

While this movie would have made an OK episode (with a lot of editing), it is disappointing primarily because it adds nothing to the over-arching Futurama storyline. By now everyone KNOWS that Fry and Leela are fated to end up together, but the producers seem determined to milk the tension indefinitely, as if the only reason the viewers watch Futurama is to see whether Fry and Leela will get together. I have one word of warning for them: Moonlighting. There have been about a half dozen points in the show where the writers could have clicked Fry and Leela together and then just nonchalantly proceeded with them as a couple, the same way they did with Kiff and Amy. Instead it looks like they've decided to either never resolve the relationship or instead make it the culmination of the entire show. I'm not sure which is worse.

After feeling rather disappointed with Bender's Big Score, I expected the extra writing time to make Futurama's second DVD movie far better--and it did! This thing is effing hilarious, I laughed until my sides hurt. Perhaps the explanation of what the Beast with a Billion Backs was disappointing or confusing for some, but if you like dark humor, this Futurama's for you. 5 stars and that's no joke. Perhaps the best thing they've ever done.

This one is a big epic fail. I was really looking forward to the type of zingy and dry humor that is characteristic of Futurama. Instead, it felt like I was watching a poor cross of Family Guy with Freak Show (David Cross voicing as Yivo didnt help). The plot makes no sense and humor is very forced. The initial start up is tolerable but as the film advances, it becomes painful to see all the hilarious characters being wasted aimlessly. Not even worth renting.

I really like Futurama, and Bender's Big Score was really good.But this movie totally sucked,the story wasn't very good and it totally wasn't worth my 30 bucks.I have to admit it had some pretty funny jokes but it wasn't really enough to save this movie(I didn't even bother with the special features).Hopefully Bender's Game will be a little better.The tentacle character was stupid.

I'm sorry, I really don't like this movie.
It is kind of insulting to science fiction
and that is really hard to do.
