Futurama: The Beast with a Billion Backs (2008)

Whoo

Love Futurama, liked the movie, thought the other movie was better, but this was still enjoyable & recommend it for the Futurama fans. July 24, 2008

Funny and thought provoking -minor spoilers-

I was surprised to read some of the reviews here for BBB. How could Futurama be getting such low ratings? Regardless of the reviews I was going to buy this DVD. I saw it today and I don't know why some people believe it sucks or it's not as funny as Bender's Big Score or doesn't live up to the show.

I laughed throughout the movie. I found no parts of it to be boring. I must say that the tentacle jokes were a little disgusting but it's not enough to make one stop watching. (They kinda reminded me of the tentacles in some hentai, lol) I throughly enjoyed this movie and found it to be funnier than Bender's Big Score. It was different and the jokes went a little farther than the usual Futurama style but that's what makes it great and something to appreciate. (the CG effects are really great) Why is everyone so afraid of change?

Unlike Bender's Big Score which was mostly a "will they, won't they be together" between Fry and Leela, BBB was about whether love should be hoarded by some or for everyone. I especially found the way "heaven" is explained rather interesting. Also, David Cross does a great job playing Yivo.

Plus the DVD comes with the Lost Episode from the Futurama video game and it is hilarious. Also the commentary for BBB is hysterical and explains quite a lot.

I'm so glad Futurama is back after so long and I can't wait for Bender's Game to come out. For the record, I didn't dislike Bender's Big Score. I want Fry and Leela to get together somehow, it's just the going back and forth that kinda annoys me.

Bottom Line: Give it a shot. It's worth it. If you still don't want to buy it, wait for Comedy Central to play it. July 22, 2008

Good Futurama video for your collection

This is a good video for your Futurama collection. I watched this with my family and the laughs were not forced. I'm giving this a 5/5 even though I thought it was a little bit below par. I don't believe knowledge of the TV series is particularly helpful (it's self-describing) and if you are a fan of Futurama, you shouldn't be disappointed. July 22, 2008

Great, but as good as Deathday by Eugene Bruce?

Deathday by Eugene Bruce would be better! Maybe, maybe not who knows actually, futurama is far far superior but being an impoverished author i won't apologise for shamelessly promoting my debut novel Deathday by Eugene Bruce - I'd very much appreciate you checking it out that's DEATHDAY by EUGENE BRUCE - I love you America!

Good because it's Futurama...but eh in general

Good to those who are major fans and just want more Futurama_ I myself am a fan but found it dull and lacking. July 21, 2008
