Truth be told I was never a Futurama fan, I always found it one of those take it or leave it shows so when cancelled it didn't exactly break my heart. It however wasn't cancelled for long and returned with a vengeance with his movie and it's rather underwhelming stuff.
It tells the story of our heroes running into global scale scammers who cost them their jobs, plus time travel plus a love story etc etc etc.
The standard Futurama humor is on display so there are laughs to be had and plenty of adult jokes that would go straight over kids heads. Trouble is I just don't appreciate it, I don't find it all that funny.
Bender's Big Score also has a very lackluster plot to go along with it, but has one single saving grace. The movie has a twist, one I didn't see coming and one that I really appreciated. Coincidentally someone was peeling onions nearby me when it happened, that's my story and I'm sticking to it!
A must for fans, a pass for everyone else.
The Good:
The finale
Some laughs to be had
The Bad:
Most of it will only appeal to true Futurama diehards
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
There is a joke here to be made about Nude Beach Planet and Uranus but I'm too mature to make it
Barstool softener is the greatest joke I never knew I needed in my life
One day there will be a wealthy Nigerian Prince!
