Summary: Eh, It was ok
Comment: Have you ever watched a movie and fallen asleep during it and not cared...Or after a movie that you just watched you feel eh, ok, but nothing really sticks with you. After Bender's Big Score I was hoping to be awed with a tight story, Bender's usual hijinks, Fry's longing for Leela, and Zoidburgs classic quotables...Instead, I feel cheated, it seemed like whoever wrote this movie had never seen a Futurama episode before, never mind even written one. I really am hoping that the next movie is better, because I really want Futurama to go out with a bang.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not bad, but nonetheless disappointing
Comment: 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.

Summary: What's With The Haters?
Comment: 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.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Terrible let down
Comment: 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.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Benders Low Score
Comment: 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.
