Futurama: Bender's Big Score Review

I loved Futurama, it was (at least in my opinion) one of the wittiest and best written comedies ever conceived, and in my opinion beats The Simpsons in every way possible. I had to stop myself from stabbing everyone in the Fox network when it was cancelled in 2003. Now after 6 years Futurama is back, and it's better than ever.

There's really not that much to say about this film due to the fact that it's a well conceived comedy which doesn't once show itself up. The jokes in this film are a true return to form for the series and everything fits perfectly. The voice acting and animation on display here is outstanding, and to be quite there's nothing left to say other than: it's Futurama go and buy it, NOW!

Unfortunately my reviewer sense is telling me that I'm going to have to pad up some space now, so I'm going to mention the fact that the DVD is packed with extras that will make fans of the series wet themselves with excitement, including a full length episode of “Everybody loves Hipnotoad” and some more Al Gore stuff.

All right I've covered the film and the extras what else can pad this out with? Not much. I could talk about the joke about “Family Guy” (another superb show) or the fact that three sequels are to follow this film, but I won't because the bottom line is that this film is brilliant, and anyone who liked the series should buy it.

9/10
