Futurama: Bender's Big Score Audience Reviews

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Cem Lamb This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
gengar843 PLOT: OK, follow this: Space-scammers use commonly-known computer viruses to gain possession of Earth's resources, but more importantly, they also end up taking control of Bender, who goes back in time to steal more of Earth's treasures for the scammers. How so? Fry has the time-travel computer code tattooed on his derriere. This brings in quite a bit of time-paradox situations, some of which are comedic, but one of which is tragic, just so you don't think Groening hasn't got a heart. This bit of romantic story-telling loses some zip because it's quite obvious what's going on. Sorry!THE COMEDY: Alternately slapstick and dry, typical for Groening, which means good. Is it VERY good? It has its moments. I'll say this: there are no really weak jokes, and what's here seems fresh even 10 years after it was made.BOTTOM LINE: Very adequate.
JC VD I watched this movie b/c ran out of Futurama episodes - wow! I was impressed. Especially it's a Hollywood production (USA) production.It's filled with sci-fi, drama, romance - in a nice, natural way! I didn't like Futurama first, b/c I was still emotionally attached to the Simpsons.But seriously, Futurama is a different breed of adult animation - with wits, sense of humor, in your face nerdy sci-fi elements, sarcasm that you can't find anywhere.Family Guy and her league of copy-cat can take a hike - they just don't have talents like Goeing & Cohen.Hail Goeing & Cohen for their everlasting creativeness!!!
Tweekums Having enjoyed the series I wasn't so sure about watching the Futurama films as frequently film spin-offs from half our shows fail to maintain their stories for the longer time. I also feared from the title that this would be overly centred on Bender, although I like the character I found that with the exception of the excellent "Godfellas" many of the episodes were he took centre stage were among the weaker ones. Thankfully when I finally got around to watching it I was not disappointed and found it to be a great addition the the franchise and despite the title wasn't overly centred on Bender or any other character.The opening wasn't too promising when characters learn that they had been cancelled by the Box Corporation, thankfully that gag was soon over and they were off to the Nude Beach Planet to make a delivery and take advantage of fact that they could show more flesh now they are on DVD. Here they are approached by the Naked Scammers who flood the Planet Express crew with dodgy email scams which they fall and end up losing the business to the scammers. Once they own the company the discover that Fry has the secret of time travel tattooed to his backside and re-program Bender and send him back in time to steal the world's treasures. Once they have all they want they send him back on one final mission... to kill Fry in the past so nobody else can get the secret. Fry tries to save himself by also going back and end up with multiple copies of Fry and Bender living at various times.The film then follows Fry in both the 31st and 21st centuries, where there are lots of sun sub-plots involving Leela falling for the mysterious Lars, Hermes losing his head and his wife after a limboing accident and teaming up with Robot Santa and his friends to fight the Naked Scammers.All the main cast appear along with a good selection of secondary characters such as Zapp, Kif and everybody's favourite president Richard Milhous Nixon. Unlike other comedy shows that have feature length spin offs this didn't feel like an episode that had been stretched to fill the time nor did it feel like a few episodes tagged together. I suspect one needs to be familiar with the characters through watching the series as little time is wasted explaining who the characters are, for example if I hadn't seen the episode "Time Keeps on Slipping" I'd have been confused about the Harlem Globetrotters appearing as experts of temporal science.I would certainly recommend this to any fans of the series and for people who haven't seen the series watch that then watch this.
Enchorde Recap: It has been a couple of bad years for Planer Express, their deliveries cancelled for two years. But now they're back! But as usual something with the mission goes awry. This time the crew gives their e-mail addresses to a couple of strangers and subsequently everyone is scammed out of all their belongings. What is worse, Bender is uploaded with a virus forcing him to obey every command from the scammers. And with a time machine he is forced to steal every known treasure from Earths past. But more than one can play the time game, and soon everything is a mess that threatens to destroy the universe...Comments: This is a splendid comeback. At least for us Futurama-fans out there that were devastated when the show was cancelled. And Fox, sorry the Box-company, is given a kick in the beginning.Then there is a typical, but longer, Futurama-adventure with all the typical jokes, the special Futurama-humor, twists and turns. Everything that makes each and every episode great is there. Bender is as evil as ever, Fry ignorant and lovesick for Leela, Zoidberg as incompetent as only he can be, Professor Farnsworth a couple of years older still. But added to this are also a lot of flashbacks, references and pointers to a lot of earlier episodes. Most, if not all, of the notable characters make appearances. So, for you to enjoy this movie to its fullest you need to know your Futurama, and know it well.Fortunately I do know my Futurama, so I thought it was great. And I have high expectations on future Futurama-videos when they can develop a story much more than the ordinary 25 minutes.And oh, if you have the DVD, do watch the Extras. They're great.All glory to the Hypnotoad! 10/10
