The whole point of it was that <B><I>Beast</I></B> was a lot sloppier than <B><I>Bender.</I></B><BR/><BR/>As far as pacing - I think <B><I>Beast</I></B> moves really quickly. You didn't think that <B><I>Bender</I></B> got bogged down in the flashback/exposition sequence? Also, (and this may be just me) I thought the whole exile/retake Earth arc happened much too quickly.<BR/><BR/>D.Dave Koppermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09292071349686573917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457411005352662997.post-10800129561187570982008-06-26T06:40:00.000-04:002008-06-26T06:40:00.000-04:00As usual, your opinion and personal feelings are w...As usual, your opinion and personal feelings are wrong.<BR/><BR/>While <I>Bendar's Big Score</I> was a cohesive and well written story, <I>The Beast with a Billion Backs</I> lacked it's focus. The jokes were good, but I found the pacing was a bit slower.<BR/><BR/>There were two things that got me about this movie. One, it wasn't just quasi religious, it addressed the whole afterlife aspect of a dominant world religion. (Not disrespectfully mind you, just not giving the same explanation as the religion.)<BR/><BR/>But the thing that really got me about it was the surreal story itself. In a world the writer's established, where anything is possible, this was pretty extreme. I'm can't say I didn't like it, but it was such an unusual story that I still haven't digested it enough to decide wether I liked it.<BR/><BR/>That being said, A bad episode of Futurama is still better then almost anything else. And I don't think this was a bad episode.<BR/><BR/>You may now return to your regular opinion.Karlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09857207077781704597noreply@blogger.com
