Let's be realistic.

I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

I was worried after seeing Bender's Big Score. Extremely worried. What's the point of bringing Futurama back from the grave, if it was only going to be a mediocre shell of it's former self? If the second movie followed in the footsteps of the first, I would have preferred that the series would have stayed a fond memory. Thankfully, these dire thoughts didn't turn out to be reality. The Beast with a Billion Backs is good. Still not fantastic, as the original series was, but much better than Bender's Big Score. It did a few things right that BBS absolutely failed at. The story was coherent, the characters seemed much more like themselves, and it was actually funny. I found myself laughing out loud several times during the movie, and that really helped assure me that this wonderful series wasn't reborn only to be buried under crud.If you're a long-term fan of Futurama, I'd recommend that you skip right over Bender's Big Score, and start your re-acquaintance with Futurama with this movie. There's really only one important plot point that carries over from the first movie, and knowing about that isn't worth the disappointment of watching it. In my opinion, Futurama officially re-begins here.

Having really enjoyed the series I put off watching the films for a while fearing that it would not work as well in the longer movie format, after watching "Bender's Big Score" I thought I may have been mistaken as I really enjoyed that. Perhaps that got my hopes up a bit too much but I was a little disappointed with this film; that is not to say it was a bad film, just not as good as I'd hoped.While I thought the main story didn't really warrant the time spent on it there were plenty of individual events that made me laugh out loud, stand out moments for me were Amy turning up to a funeral in a dress that was bordering on indecent and the way Bender acquired an "army of the damned" off the Robot Devil. I also liked the scene where Fry discovers that his new girlfriend Colleen, voiced by the late Brittany Murphy, had several other boyfriends, being a prudish 20th Century man Fry wasn't too happy about sharing.The main plot concerns a strange spacial rift which has appeared in space; the world's top scientists (Farnsworth and Wernstrom) argue about what it is and how it should be dealt with and Nixon sends Zapp to attack it. This attack leads to Fry meeting an unusual alien and Kif having a rather unfortunate accident. When Fry returns he is attached to a strange tentacle and is keen for everybody else in the universe to get a tentacle of there own.Overall I think it was fairly enjoyable even if I don't think it was up the the high standards of the series.

Well continuing where the previous movie ended, the universe now has a giant rip in it. The Planet Express team and Wornstrum finally team up to explore the anomaly. Meanwhile Fry has a new girlfriend, Amy and Kiff gets married and Bender joins a robot league after having stocked Calculon. After a lot of weird events (that I wont spoil) Fry goes into the anomaly and later returns to earth taken over by a being that takes control over humans by attaching its tentacles to they're necks (I guess that's what they mean with "a billion backs"). Frankly this story was so odd and had so many twists and parallel story lines, that I'll just stop here.If you already have seen "Benders big score" don't wait with seeing this one. It wasn't as funny as the previous film, but still worth seeing for an each Futurama fan. For its awkward(you'l figure it out) but still very humorous and unexpected storyline I'll give this film a 7/10.

This is the second straight-to-DVD film from Matt Groening's second most (if not more) popular show Futurama, continuing from where Bender's Big Score left off. Basically space is ripping (because you remember at the end, Bender (John Di Maggio) brought back hundreds of his copies), and no-one knows what is the other side of the hole wall. Fry (Billy West), who is having a little trouble finding real love with new girlfriend Colleen O'Hallahan (Brittany Murphy) is the one who goes through, after some bickering between Prof. Farnsworth (also West) and Dr. Wernstrom (David Herman). Meanwhile, Bender has a sudden high obsession for his favourite TV star Calculon (Maurice LaMarche), he decides to become his official stalker, and also becomes a member of the once fabled League of Robots, rebelling against humans. Fry finds a new love with the creature behind the hole wall, Yivo (Scary Movie 2's David Cross), who wants everyone to be loving to each other and him/her, and the only way to do this is have everyone with his many tentacles in the back of their necks, although later you find out their actually reproductive organs (yuck). Also starring Billy West as Dr. Zoidberg, Zapp Brannigan and Richard Nixon's Head, Katey Sagal as Leela, Tress MacNeille as Bender's First Born Son and Hattie McDoogal, Maurice LaMarche as Kif, Morbo and King Kong, Phil LaMarr as Hermes Conrad, Lauren Tom as Amy Wong, Dan Castellaneta as The Robot Devil and Stephen Hawking. It may not be action packed, complicated or ensemble stories, but it is another good film worth watching. The TV series was number 26 on The 100 Greatest Cartoons. Good!
