Shamelessly indulging in melodramatic space trash since 1995

Is the new Futurama DVD better than the last?

November 6th, 2008 by Dunc · 2 Comments

The previous DVD movie, The Beast with a Billion Backs, seems to have been considered a mild disappointment. But hopes have been high for the fantasy-spoofing Bender’s Game, which came out on Tuesday. I still haven’t picked it up, but io9 reviews, and Underwire has an interview with director Dwayne Carey-Hill and Claudia Katz, senior vice president of Rough Draft, which produces the show.

    It was pretty good. Certainly better than The Beast with a Billion Backs, and probably about on par with Bender’s Big Score. The promotional materials don’t do it much justice in terms of story though, and most of the fantasy stuff takes place in the third act.

    There are quite a few throw-backs to the show though, so I would largely recommend it for established fans only.

    i really enjoyed Bender’s Big Score, and wasn’t quite as entertained by the Beast with a billion backs, but when they showed some clips of Bender’s Game at comic-con, i knew it would be awesome. now to wait for my super-futurama friend to get back to the states so we can watch it in a party!
