Futurama: Bender's Game review

Photobucket

In this third installment of the new Futurama movie series, we find ourselves taking a glimpse into the nerdy culture of Dungeons and Dragons. Bender is shunned by Cubert and his friends for not having enough of an imagination (or any at all) to play the game with them. Meanwhile, there's a shortage of dark matter due to Mom's monopoly on the fuel market.

-The fantasy part of the movie they've been using to hype it doesn't happen until the last half hour!
-Fry and Leela shippers, do not expect anything. The "shippiest" thing you could get out of it is Fry riding Leela when she's in her horse form.
-This pretty much stands by itself with little reference to the last two. Nibbler is magically back with no explanation.
-I wonder what Kif would think if he found out Amy was being a lot, uh... friendlier towards males than usual.
-This time, and I'll give them this, it feels more like a movie and less like four episodes they'll later slice apart for TV.
-A lot of good jokes that had me smiling.

Overall, I'd say it's not as good as BBS, but not as bad as BWABB. Somewhere in between.
