Fun Stuff

Trivia:

E. Gary Gygax, the creator of Dungeons and Dragons (the game on which this film is based) died in 2008. 'Bender's Game' is dedicated to him and he is listed in the credits, although he only appears in one short post-credits scene (archive footage from an appearance he made as himself on Futurama). more

Goofs:

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: In Bender's Game, dark matter is all done in the form of round pellets, and all of it is mined from Alaska (Mombil has a monopoly on it). In a previous episode _"Futurama" The Birdbot of Ice-Catraz (2001)_, there is liquid dark matter from Columbia. However, all the dark matter is in the form of round pellets (considering where it came from), so it would make a lot of sense if Columbia was the place the dark matter pellets went to be liquefied, not where it was mined. more

Quotes:

Leegola: What else can we slay? Is that a hobbit over there?
Titanius Anglesmith: No, that's a hobo and a rabbit. But they're making a hobbit.

Its getting better. But it needs more Alf., 31 December 2008
9/10
Author: freakfire-1 from Texas, United States

None of the Futurama movies are perfect, although they are marking a steady increase of quality. And with this installment, Futurama fans are seeing the series they fell in love with. Or maybe the just liked making fun of Zoidberg. I don't care, as long as they give it a chance.

Fuel prices 3008 are skyrocketing and thus need new sources of dark matter. But the secrets about dark matter become more complicated, especially when they go to the crazy fantasy land in the middle of the film. Ah, if only I were Bender and destroyed his game.

At any rate, Professor Farnsworth, Fry, Leela, and the whole crew go through this mysterious "Dungeons and Dragons" game it gets a little crazy. It is hard to describe, but any Futurama fan should enjoy it.

Overall, very good. Can't wait for the 4th one. "A"
