I thought they were okay! Could have been better but only the first felt like a proper movie, the other three honestly feel like dragged-out episodes. Bender's Big Score was by far the funniest and had the best plot (for me anyways, because I like time travel plots)

Second one was a bit of a headfuck but still really entertaining (and i liked how it carried straight on from the first one), and the third I actually fell asleep watching...twice. That was by far the worst one, it wasn't remotely funny (save one or two lines, probably from Zoidberg) and the plot sucked HUGE BALLS arghhh.

The fourth pretty much 'ends' the series but nothing really major happens at all which i found a little dissapointing. It ends on a really open, happy note though, which was fine with me. I guess if they wanted to pick things up from there with another series, it wouldn't be that hard.

What did you guys think? people seem pretty split on them, with some calling them a return to how awesome futurama used to be, whilst a couple of my friends thought they were pretty dire.

The first one was really badass, and the second one was just ok. The third I never finished. I really should finish them all so I can see how they ended.

It has some duff episodes and the animation is very 'standard' but i love the writing and characters

Dr zoidberg and the professor are hilarious.

Its really the same episode styling and animation as the simpsons.  Which is no suprise, considering the same staff made it.

Futurama is ok, but just like the simpsons, its amusing, but not consistantly funny.  Although the more mature bent works well.

Anyways I saw the movie with the tentacle thingies, which was OK, but a bit over-the-top gimmicky.

I really enjoyed the first one but they've kind of gone down in quality as they progressed.
The third was pretty bad in my opinion.

The first is the only one I've seen thus far and I really enjoyed it, watched it twice in a row even. I hear from everyone that the second one is utter shit and the third is really funny, but I'd like to see all of them for the sake of seeing all of Futurama in general. The 4th one's officially out? I know they premiered it at NYCC last weekend...

Nonono the second one is awesome, it's pretty fucked up but it's really entertaining. The third is really boring

The 4th one's coming out soon officially, but it was leaked earlier today.

I'm a huge fan of Futurama for some reason, but the only ones of the movies I saw was "The Beast with a Billion Backs". Twas Ok, I need to see the rest.


I warned you, stupid.

No shit? EVERYONE has said the 2nd one sucks but I'm checkin' out nonetheless. My one friend loved the 3rd probably mainly because he's into tabletop gaming.

Agh, dammit. That was fast X[

The first one sets up events for the second one, the others can be watched in any order. There's like one joke in the final one which is a lot funnier if you've seen movie 3 though.
