WakenPayne I Am A Fan Of The TV Show & The Original Movie But NOT THIS ONE. WHAT IN GODS NAME HAPPENED. You Get Brittney Murphy Doing A Voice-over. Not Only Was She Ugly But Her Voice Sounds Like Sh!t. Her Only Good Film Was Drop Dead Gorgeous. The Planet Express crew must work to fix rips between their universe and another inhabited by a planet-sized, tentacle alien which soon takes over the Earth and uses it's ability to control Fry to command an entire religion which takes over and convinces the inhabitants of Earth to abandon the Earth to live in a pseudo-heaven, leaving the robots of the world to inherit the planet. They Ended Zapp Branigan's (Cough Violently) 'Love Relationship' By Making Him Sleep With Amy When Kiff Dies. Why Kill Kiff Off? The Whole Movie Is Utterly Stupid & Unfunny. Oh Look 10 Minutes Ago I Started Writing This Oh Man It Took Shorter Time To Write The Movie.

demeterpapaioannou1 I have been suitably impressed with the quality of the reviews I have thus far read (good to see a University degree is not a waste!). Just a question and I do hope a die hard fan can answer me this: Why is it in the opening scene 'The beast with a billion backs'all people including scientists do not know the cause of the time rip that has been present for a month where as at the end of 'Bender's big score' it was known to have occurred due to the overuse of the time travel code?How so is the cause of the first film so easily disregarded for the second one? Could someone be so kind as to explain it to me? Indeed I have searched for answers however I am hoping one of you kind folks answer me the riddle I just presented. Cheers.

iyergayathri I cannot believe how truly awful and "un-Futurama" this movie was. Bender's Big Score, although lacking was still true to its Futurama roots/style and had a lot of funny moments. This one does not. The start is somewhat true to the style of humor the show is famous for, but thats where it all ends. The characters here are largely wasted and story makes absolutely no sense. The plot is simply absent. It seemed that I was watching David Cross's Freak Show rather than Futurama. Bender's storyline, which was the only thing holding interest--is completely wasted. Yivo, which I think is supposed to symbolize the Flying Spaghetti Monster is poorly written and developed. Where the writers could have imparted some great zingers about religion, it was utterly wasted. This one lacks depth, sharpness and wit of its episodic predecessors. True fans of Futurama are going to be sorely disappointed. Don't waste your money, rent it or watch it on Comedy Central (airs in mid-October).

Joseph Sylvers The first Futurama movie felt like a collection of episodes strung together, "Benders Big Score" was enjoyable for fans, but like "the family guy movie", or "the Simpson's movie", it doesn't do anything the show didn't do, the same cannot be said for "The Beast With A Billion Backs", which while not as laugh a second as it could be(still multiple laughs per minute) is strengthened by being one of the strongest stories that Futurama has ever ran.My favorite Futurama episode finds Bender floating in space alone, and a tiny microscopic colony grows onto his back, and begins worshiping him as their God, in trying to help improve their lives, he ultimately destroys them all, and then encounters a large energy being in the middle of space, who for all intense and purposes is the God...who doesn't seem to know who he is or what he is doing, but knows that God can't please everyone and if his job is done right no one "should" know he exists at all.. moments like that are the reason I watched Futurama in the first place, and its the kind of thinking that produced "The Beast With A Billion Backs", which is possibly the most unique, thought provoking, and amusing love story, I've ever seen in an animated film, or maybe ever.It's a metaphysical love story, with inter-dimensional sea monsters and robotic demonic pirates, it's a story of infidelity and jealousy (not just with Fry, consider the subplot of Kif and Amy, compare Fry's first relationship with his last, Benders final monologue, etc). Is love personal or universal, can it be shared or must it be guarded, can any kind of perfect love exist within imperfect human conditions? Can/should God love everyone? Because it's Futurama you don't sit down, expecting to be challenged or even moved. "Sorry Bender...Robots don't go to heaven...", but that's just how it ends up.So no this does not feel like "The Futurama" you've seen a thousand times before, it's best moments are still there, but it has a sense of direction, purpose, and story structure, that's its never had before, and is damned commendable. The best adult cartoon movie since "South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut", but as much for the story telling itself as the laughs.It's the Cthulu Love story of our times!
