"Futurama: The Beast I Should Not Have Purchased" Futurama: The Beast with a Billion Backs A disappointing DVD. Not up to the standard set by Bender's Big Score or the TV series. A few good lines, but weak & sappy plot. Bought for my daughter--two weeks later it's on TV. Even the October stock market would have been a better place to put the money I spent on this DVD. "Eh, It was ok" 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. "Not bad, but nonetheless disappointing" 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. "What's With The Haters?" 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. "Terrible let down" 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.

What our customer's say! "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! "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. "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. "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? "ambivalent", nothing smart or funny about this one. very disappointing for a futurama fan. i'll forget this one exists.. 
Read this reviews before You buy... "Benders Low Score", 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. "So this is heaven? I thought it would be nicer!", I'm sorry, I really don't like this movie. It is kind of insulting to science fiction and that is really hard to do. "Where there is no sense, there is no sensation." "Muh...", I enjoyed Bender's Big Score, it was wonderful to see Futurama again but the Beast was bad. Really bad. It suffers from alot of the later Futurama Eps. The whine on about Fry and trying to find love. One movie was fine for that but two is going to far. While there were a few good gags it is clear these are 3-4 eps tied together kind of like the Simpsons movie. "Disappointing", Have been a fan since day one, have the dvds, Xbox game, calendars, comic books, etc. I find myself quoting the show at least a few times a week, and usually introduce uninitiated friends to the show whenever I get the chance. Sadly, I can't recommend this film to any but long-time fans, and I'm pretty sure there's a 50/50 chance that they'll be disappointed, like I was. These films will never live up to the high standard set by the show (watch a few episodes of season 4 in one sitting and you'll understand), but they should do better than this. The first film did a respectable job carrying on the franchise, tied up some interesting loose ends (ah, Seymour!), showed some emotional depth and managed to pull off a fairly intricate time-travel plot line. I liked it the first viewing, and have really come to love it after repeated viewings. It built up a lot of expectation for the remaining films. But Beast dashes those hopes quite expertly. The writing is weak. When one of the highlights is Stephen Hawking shooting lasers out of his eyes, you know there's not much here. Zoidberg is an afterthought. Bender's story goes nowhere, wasting a lot of potential (even though actor John Di Maggio is untouchable, as usual). Amy, while admittedly shallow, sinks to a new low of shallowness after Kif's death. And there are other gripes... if you're conversant with the shows, you'll see them clearly enough. The straw that broke the Beast's back for me was the handling of the Fry/Leela relationship. Fry's lovelorn relationship with Leela has been a major part of the series from the first season. In Big Score, we see that Fry and Leela can work as a couple, which is hinted at in the series, and seems to be a building story going into Beast. Let's face it, you've been hoping that Fry will finally get his girl by the end of the 4th movie. But in Beast it's all thrown away as if it was nothing... Fry falls for a woman who has multiple live-in boyfriends and seems to care absolutely nothing for Leela (as if the events of Big Score didn't just happen). Years of drama gone without so much as a whimper. There's little doubt that Cohen et al will bring things to a tidy conclusion by the final film, but here this is just poor to the point of being pathetic. And btw, Brittany Murphy's character and acting here are downright irritating. On the plus side, the regular cast is magnificent. They help make these movies instantly familiar and comfortable, and you can't help but get excited when the feature starts. The animation is very good also. I enjoyed seeing more of Zap and a little less of Hermes. The special features are worth checking out, and as always the commentary is pretty satisfying in a fanboy sort of way. Multiple viewings have even lessened the pain of disappointment a bit. Some Futurama is much better than no Futurama, and at least the disappointment of this film means the next will probably seem much better by comparison. Hopefully it will be great on its own merits, and not because Beast was in many ways a missed opportunity. "Bad", Futurama is my favorite animated show of all time, but this movie was just bad. It is not funny. |
