ugghhh... It sucks when a reasonably good show is canceled, and then comes back with a weak attempt at movie entertainment. Okay, maybe a little harsh, but this flick doesn't even compare to the original show. The first hour is pretty close (with the occasionally terrible song), but the last half an hour is just terrible, with frequent terrible songs.
The original writers obviously weren't around for this one, as the story is mostly crap. I'm glad that they included a story line that detailed Fry and Leela's relationship, as that was key to the show and left vague at the end of the series (specifically in the last episode), even though left open ended again. However, the killer for me was the crappy songs. Matt Groenig's crew is renowned for their hilarious musical style song writing, which was horribly besmirched in the recent film. Horrible tunes + bad lyrics + short length = no beuno. Thank your goddess the movie was direct to dvd, and hence free thanks to Grants rental =O
