Review of Futurama: Bender's Big Score

Though the movie was OK, I was disappointed by it. I feel like it lacked a lot of the originality, coherence and edginess of the original series. It was largely the same old jokes repackaged and flung at you fast and furious. They made an effort to cram in a bit of everything and largely succeeded, but it lacked depth and coherence because of this. The social commentary was also largely recycled and felt forced. I'll see the next movie, but I hope they put more thought into it and go for something more meaningful. Here it seems like one of those cases where they tried to please everyone and wound up creating something unauthentic.
