Futurama Scores Big!

4/5
Futurama: Bender's Big Score

On November 27th, Futurama followed the Family Guy suit and released a straight-to-DVD movie, entitled; Bender's Big Score. The movie is well done, considering we haven't seen the likes of a new Futurama episode in two years, which is cleverly stated at the beggining (in the same way as The Simpsons Movie). Than we get a mix of the original opening and BAM! the show starts with everyone partying, and than something AWFUL happens. But I can't tell you that, you'll have to rent it or buy it yourself. The movie is actually quite good, being exactly as funny as Futurama was when it used to originally air. It stayed true to its original form, with lots of snickers and a few LOL laughs. A lot of characters that had one or a few appearences on the show came back for a cameo, including the Santa Claus, and the mofia-bots. But the difference i found between this movie and The Simpsons Movie and Fanmily Guy's movie is that this one didn't seem like an elongated episode. The Futurama movie had many twits and turns and even had mysteries involved within the plot itself.
HIGHLIGHTS: The movie was very good for a straight-to-DVD movie. It would have done well in the theaters, but maybe it was better this way b/c there wasn't such a high expectation for an AMAZING movie. The movie was overall, funny and witty, which is all a need to have fun on a Friday night. Not to mention the mystery at the end which was mind-blowing!

LOWLIGHTS: The movie had very few, but i felt that there were some really random parts and some random songs added to the movie. The ending could have also ended, but it kept rolling on, which kind of pissed me off, but in the end, it all makes perfect sense.

Overall, the movie was extremely funny and very good. I think it deserves BEST MOVIE IN NOVEMBER !!
