{3.5\/5} “I was working in Mom’s laboratories for the third time, after twice before realizing how evil she was and vowing never to work for her again.”<\/p>\n
Futurama: Bender’s Game<\/strong>, released in 2009<\/p>\n There’s a dark matter shortage, so fuel prices are up. When a couple of guys insult the Planet Express ship, Leela vows to win against them in a demolition derby. Bender has been playing Dungeons & Dragons with the kids. He goes a bit crazy, thinking that he’s fighting dragons in real life. Professor Farnsworth reveals that he has an anti-crystal that would make all Mom’s dark matter worthless.<\/p>\n This movie is not as funny as the previous one. Leela gets hurt over and over, probably my least favourite part.<\/p>\n There are some fun references, but it’s also sillier than other episodes or movies.<\/p>\n I’m not sure the concept of parodying The Lord of the Rings<\/strong> was the best one. It was a big series at the time, but now it feels out of place in this science fiction show.<\/p>\n Stars the voices of David Herman, Kath Soucie, Frank Welker, and Rich Little. Directed by Dwayne Carey-Hill (Futurama: Bender\u2019s Big Score<\/strong><\/a>). The music is by Christopher Tyng.<\/p>\n This is the 2nd time I’ve seen it.<\/p>\n
