Futurama: Bender's Game Trailers

When Leela is insulted by a group of space-rednecks (like regular rednecks, but in space) she enters the Planet Express ship in a demolition derby. She emerges victorious, but when she brings the damaged ship home and the Professor sees the fuel gauge, he's enraged by the hit he's going to take at the Dark Matter pump. Now the crew have to find a way to break Mom's stranglehold on starship fuel, even if they have to wade through a Lord of the Rings-inspired fantasy-land to do it!

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

This movie series started off just "OK" with "Bender's Big Score", then I felt a little hope seeing "Beast With a Billion Backs"..Sadly however, "Bender's Game" and "Into The Wild Green Yonder" are both in-cohesive, boring, and generally consist of the kind of lazy writing you wouldn't expect from a show like Futurama.One of the biggest problems is certainly trying to produce a full-length movie out of a 20-minute cartoon. It became very clear to me that the writers lost interest and/or didn't have enough quality content to make these films, and the movies suffered big time.As some other people mentioned, there was way too much crude and sexual humor that just didn't fit the series. The references to Lord of the Rings and Star Wars weren't at all funny or entertaining.. Just more lazy writing.Ultimately, this film was barely worth the time it took to watch it. I was actually falling asleep during this movie and "Into The Wild Green Yonder". Drawn out drivel..

Argh, this movie is so frustratingly bad! There are a number of flaws which will be detailed below. Basically, the Planet Express crew get sucked into some alternate reality after storming Mom's lair to save Nibbler and a bunch of other Nibblonians...but it takes ages to get to the alternate reality, by the time they do, the movie is halfway over. And then, the "plot" is mostly a whole bunch of pop culture references crammed down the viewer's throat! Enough already, you're referencing popular stuff, we get it, don't overdo it! And the characterization really suffers in this movie too. They take one aspect of a character's personality, and multiply it by ten, and suddenly, you've got a Leela who want's to kill everything and an Amy who wants to sleep with everyone, even the hideous monsters. Jeez, Leela hits people a lot in the show, but nowhere near as much as she does here, and Amy was never so...loose as she is here, she makes out with an Orc, a Mork (don't ask) and even Leela! That last one came right out of left field and was so ridiculously pointless, it didn't even make sense! So yeah, don't watch this movie, you'll be losing more than half of your brain cells, go watch the first two movies or the show instead, but not this or the next movie, which is almost as bad.

I'm a huge fan of the television series and the 2 movies that followed.'Benders Game' is the best movie and episode to date.It's full of laughs,crude and sexual humor,and wacky cartoon violence.In fact,this sequel is much more violent than the first 2 movies and all of the episodes.So make sure not to let little kids see it.Save it for teens.In this episode,Bender the robot discovers that he has no imagination until he becomes obsessed with a board game that goes by the name of Dungeons & Dragons.It's an actual game to.But soon,Bender loses control of reality and his imagination causes the Planet Express crew to fall into a fantasy world where Bender is king and where everybody eats fried dwarfs.Sounds too weird for you? Well,it gets a little weirder as it continues.'Futurama: Bender's game' is the best movie of the series and is a must-see for Futurama fans.

When I was younger I watched almost every night the show that was and still is my favourite TV show of all time, yes I'm talking about The Simpsons, well the old Simpsons from Season1 to like Season 12. I remember that on National TV two episodes aired pee night and once after The Simpsons Futurama was shown, it was the very first time I watched a complete Futurama episode and I clearly remember that was the episode in which Bender is a were- car, now checking I know is the episode "The Honking". I remember that I was kind of exciting for thinking I was going to watch regularly Futurama but the next day it was showed another thing, no more Futurama! Certainly was strange but some years later when cable TV was contracted in my house I watched more of this show and actually since like 3 years ago I own a couple of DVD sets, the first two and that are the only Seasons that I have seen complete. I love Futurama, I think it is a truly awesome show and is a real shame it never gained a place in the programming of National TV of Mexico. For all is very strange to see that Futurama has a IMDb user rating of 9.3/10 with 19, 509 votes as for today and The Simpsons has a IMDb user rating of 9.2/10 with only 392 votes! The weird fact is the votes that The Simpsons has since for example South Park has a rating of 9.3/10 with 29, 285 votes and even Bender's Game has 2, 432 votes. Anyway, certainly I had interest in watching the new stuff of Futurama and I have been seeing the DVDs at my local store but until a couple of days ago I finally decided to get one of the three available, I got Bender's Game that is the third one just because it was the cheapest of the three but and since I really liked Bender's Game I will be getting the other Futurama straight to DVD movies. Just like with The Simpsons I prefer to watch Futurama in Spanish, the original dubbing in Spanish is really great and for me is by far more enjoyable than the original voices but unfortunately here there's a new cast and frankly I missed the old one so I decided to watch this in English. Anyway, the animation here is fantastic and here we have a longer opening with a very cool Yellow Submarine-like scene that ends in a very funny way with the crazy character Nibbler to let begin this 87 minutes movie. Basically there's not a single long period of time without a good laugh and basically we have two plots during the first part, one is about Bender and Dungeons & Dragons, now Bender is Titanius Anglesmith Fancy Man of Cornwood but not only while playing Dungeons & Dragons so he will quickly end in the robot insane asylum. The other plot is about dark matter, less dark matter and the price of the fuel is higher so certainly Mom is the person behind all of this and her three sons are on fire, they will be owl exterminators ("thanks for the crystal"- hilarious) and the funnier son Igner will know the secret of who is his father. Leela's "adventure" with the anger stuff made me remember the South Park movie since Leela will be suffering sort of like Cartman suffered. Then when the two plots comes together we are in a new world, actually in Cornwood ad we have more Dungeons & Dragons, Lord of the Rings stuff and Star Wars stuff, is a very funny final part of the movie (check the hilarious stuff with Fry -do- as Gollum!). This was a very sad movie for the Nibblonians! Then I really liked Bender's Game, it is good Futurama stuff, a lot of fun!
