But unlike the previous episodes that are bizarre and hila...

Rate Film Review: Futurama - The Beast With A Billion Backs

Original at Swan Fungus external link    Sat, Aug 30

By Evan(noreply@blogger.com) Relative to what's available on television these days, The Beast With A Billion Backs isn't that bad. Compared to how good Futurama was during its tenure on FOX (1999-2003), it's very bad. Here's hoping the final two full-length movies are better than the first two.

By joewalker16 I thought Bender's Big Score was WAY overdone. It was as if every writer had all these pent-up ideas for the show when it was canceled and they attempted to get them all in to this first movie. As much of a Futurama fan as I am, even I started looking at the clock in the hopes it would end.
