A really good DVD, just a really long episode but still just as funny. Crazy story but brilliant, just right for Futurama fans
The alliteration of the letter "B" hits warp-speed with THE BEAST WITH A BILLION BACKS, the follow-up to BENDER'S BIG SCORE. This second of four feature-length adventures continues the legacy of FUTURAMA, the revived television series as beloved as it is animated. In this entry from creator Matt Groening (THE SIMPSONS), Fry, Leela, Bender, Professor Farnsworth, and the rest of the crew engage in a battle with a hideous, planet-sized monster until the whole ordeal manages to turn itself into a sizzling romance of epic proportions. Fans can count on Bender being a jerk, Fry being dim-witted, Leela having one eye and being sexy, Professor Farnsworth being hilariously old, and Hermes being a bespectacled Jamaican. Guest stars Brittany Murphy (SIN CITY), comedian David Cross (ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, MR. SHOW), physicist extraordinaire Stephen Hawking, and the voice of Homer Simpson himself, Dan Castellaneta, are all along for this madcap ride of satire and buffoonery. Director: Peter Avanzino Voice: Maurice LaMarche, Lauren Tom, Katey Sagal, Phil LaMarr, Billy West, John DiMaggioRead full review
If you want it short and sweet: It's good, its very very very good. A return to top form for Futurama, plenty of old favourites and ALOT of laughs. If you are a superfan you'll love it for the appearances of very minor characters and continuing old jokes and if you're fairly new to New New York you'll definately get a laugh. It works as both a stand alone movie and a continuation from the series. WATCH IT! TRUST ME, I've watched Futurama from Space Pilot 3000 to The Devils Hands are Idle Playthings (several thousand times) - I know all the words to the Robot Devils song and I do a fantastic impression of Hedonismbot so please believe me when I say there are alot of bad reviews about but it is way better than you think. After Benders Big Score, which I'll admit was a slight dissapointment (although I still thoroughly enjoyed it) The Beast with a Billion Backs is a huge improvement and Futurama as it should be. What you have to understand is, when Futurama was dropped by FOX it was on a role with a huge fanbase and plenty of ideas - it's getting going again now and in my opinion is back on top form with this movie. If you love noticing old characters you won't be dissapointed - there's Fishy Joe, Morgan, The Mayors Aid, Mayor Poopenmeyer, Robot 1X, Billionare Bot and my favourite - Scruffy The Janitor aswell as many more! Every character will give you a laugh, particularly Zapp Branigan (my favourite) and the storyline will genuinely interest you with real character developements (I wont spoil anything!) I urge you to give it a chance and YOU WILL LAUGH.Read full review
