DEPARTMENT: DVD : Futurama: The Beast with a Billion Backs

page 1 of  31
 
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Much better than the first movie
Ok, I have been a big fan of Futurama and own all of the DVD's, but was very disappointed with the first movie. I thought the story was way too convoluted and simply not funny. I wasn't looking forward to this movie after I read some bad reviews. DON'T BELIEVE THEM! This movie brings it all back home.

Unlike the first movie where it was almost impossible to follow the complex story line, this movie is just like the original series. Its funny and has a great story. Bender is hilarious! You won't be disappointed. Buy it!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Barely a 5 star rating. Still excellent.
I debated with myself as to if I should give this a 5 or 4 star rating. However, my deep appreciation that they are releasing movies after such a long drought makes me recommend it. My complaint is that it as not as funny as the TV episodes or even the first movie. Still, it is funny and I do love the characters.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - All three movies
I have casually watched the series in the past. Recently, I casually watched a few reruns and started really getting into Futurama. I saw some of Bender's Big Score on TV and then watched the whole movie on DVD.

Of the three, I loved BBS the best. There were a lot of funny jokes and I love how they complexly interwove time travel into the movie. When you watch with the commentary on, you learn of all the thought that went behind this movie (e.g. numbers in the background, how they came up with equations, etc.) which they didn't do in the subsequent two movies. Couldn't watch the whole Hypnotoad episode. Zzzzzz. 5 stars.

The Beast of a Billion Backs was an interesting story but I personally didn't think it was that funny. 3 and half stars = 4 for the story, 3 for the (lack of) laughs.

Bender's Game was funnier than BBB but I'm not crazy about parodies because if you've missed the parodied movie.... In this case, it was the whole Lord of the Rings trilogy. 4 stars.

Still, I am great fan and will purchase the 4 season episodes.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Not Great, But Not Awful...
I'm a Futurama fan of a few years... watching the series got me more interested in learning about quirky quantum physics, and other oddities that made the show a gem in the world of animation.
Loved Bender's Big Score... it hearkened back in a small way to season 4, with the exploration of the Fry/Leela relationship. And I like a little drama combined with satire and comedy (and insane characters). Adds depth to the characters, and the show, in my opinion.
That said, I didn't like BWAMB nearly as much as BBBS. It destroyed all the emotional buildup of the end of the original series and the first movie. That threw me off my game in a big way. Also, I would have liked more of the witty zingers and quotables I grew accustomed to with the show.
And I know a lot of people complain about the giant tentacled Yivo. If any of you ever watched a few genuine 1950's B movies, you'd understand why Yivo is there. The DVD cover also makes more sense when you connect BWAMB to movies like The Crawling Eye, and other wacked out sci fi movies of the late 50's. I do admire the Futurama crew for what they attempted here, in lampooning the B movie genre. Sadly, it doesn't measure up to their standards established by the show. Nor does it go far enough in its satire of b movies.
I hope Bender's Game will be an improvement. I REALLY hope Into The Wild Green Yonder surpasses even that. I've grown rather attached to all the characters, and hope Fry and Leela end up together, and end the movie series (and possibly the entire series) on a happy note. Is real closure too much to ask for?



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - ambivalent
nothing smart or funny about this one. very disappointing for a futurama fan. i'll forget this one exists..
