Review of Futurama: Bender's Big Score (2007) by Philipp G — 02 May 2008

After gotten canceled at Fox the beloved cartoon show returns with a 90 minute movie straight to DVD. It combines all the hilarious features of the show: movie references, respect less observations of life and society and wonderful politically incorrect humor. Especially the scenes making fun of Fox and its decision, spam mail and the parody on time travel movies and all its paradoxes are hilarious.

All the major characters return, along with the most popular minor ones (Hedonism Bot! Hyno Toad!) and another guest appearance by Al Gore. Only awesome Cap Zap Brannigan is somewhat underused. The really cool thing about this film is that they actually managed to give it a pretty smart, funny and even touching plot with quite a final twist. Fans of the show should love this, here's to hoping there will be more.
