Movie Reviews of Futurama: Bender's Game
Movie Review: No musical numbers = best of the Futurama films
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm with the crowd on this one: Bender's Game is definitely the best of the Futurama films so far, and a great breath of fresh air after Beast With a Billion Backs. On this one, the random unexpected jokes (like the Swamp Hag) come fast and frequently, and it's definitely the "Futurama" humor that was missing last time (though it could do with about a half-dozen fewer vomit jokes). I'm not a Dungeons & Dragons fan, and I was pleasantly surprised it's a very small part of the plot, less than I would have guessed from the preview in "Beast." And none of the jokes are obscure references for game-nerds only (though I imagine some have more depth for people who know D&D). Best of all: No musical number in this one. The "Bender's Piracy Warning" special feature is funny too -- it's only about a minute long but tops any of the features on the last DVD.
Movie Review: Futurama is back!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was skeptical to get Bender's Game at first only because the first two movies were major disappointments to me. When I saw that I could get Bender's Game for about 20 bucks (15 dollars + 3.99 s&h), I decided to go for it.
I am very pleased with Bender's Game and this movie has restored my faith in the Futurama franchise. To describe Bender's Game without spoiling it for anyone, you could think of this as a Futurama's "Anthology of Interest" which featured some of the best of Futurama. Also, Bender's Game reminded me of the one Roswell episode. Overall the movie was very pleasing and this time around they hit the Futurama formula right on the head.
To all those fans who were disappointed with the first two movies, you can rest assure that this time around, Bender's Game is a must buy.
Movie Review: Back in stride.
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD proves that Futurama is back in great form.
I was looking forward to the return of new Futurama and, as such, really enjoyed "Bender's Big Score" but found it a bit lacking. I was disappointed with "The Beast With a Billion Backs" and found it watchable but not up to the high standards I was expecting from Futurama.
When I watched "Bender's Game" I was blown away! As a D&D and Tolkien fan as well as a Futurama fan, this DVD spoke directly to me. The Futurama team has nailed everything that I enjoyed in the series with this DVD release.
Buy it and watch it! You will not be sorry... unless you hate laughing.
Movie Review: Loving it
Summary: 5 Stars
Futurama was a series canceled far before its time, but thankfully its back and unlike the Simpsons seems to get better as it goes. I was thrilled when the new series of direct to DVD movies was announce. I believe that Bender's Game to be the best of the three new releases. The story isn't that deep or politically nuanced as some of the older episodes, but it does manage to play a good deal of homage to class Dungeons and Dragons, Lord of the Rings, and even a touch of Star Wars. The animation is clean and well done as usual, and the dialog is classic Futurama. The I thought it was great and I look forward to the next round.Movie Review: Futurama is Back!
Summary: 5 Stars
wow! now this is a real futurama movie. the other 2 just did not have that futurama feel, they seemed weird and uninspired. this futurama has the same wit and feel of the old series.
as i was watching it i kept thinking ok here is were its gonna get too weird, or have lazy shock humor that is more gross than clever. this never happend in benders game, it was great.
if you want to see futurama like the way it was on the tv series buy this movie. dont forget that based on the sales of these movies will probably be the deciding factor on the futurama series coming back to t.v.
