FUTURAMA: BENDER'S GAME (DVD Review) - 18/11/08

With the release of the third Futurama film in the shape of "Bender's Game" and the fourth to follow in Feb 2009 I must say this was a big disappointment. Like watching 87 minutes of a dull animated film with zero laughs all the characters are in place as we trudge through a tired re-run of Lord Of The Rings crossed with Dungeons & Dragons amidst an evil plot by scheming Mom involving dark matter. A couple of minor points hit the spot but all-in-all pretty much a catastrophe with a large bulk of tired padding in the so-called Special Features. At least the initial U.S. release come's with a nice cardboard slipcase and fold-out sleeve featuring full character art and you also get a free set of postcards as well.
