I feel cold inside... I think its the thermodynamic response to a large portion of hope leaving me.

Aww......

Noooooo!!!

Can't.... read....

Everytime I find a spoiler for one of the movies before I see it I say NO!  I won't look...but eventually I break down and look but not this time..... I hope.

Whilst the first review gave me a lot of hope that one has dampened my expectations slightly.

Still, I've never been one to let other people's opinions sway my own on such matters so I'm happy to wait until I actually see the movie before getting too elated/annoyed.

[Reply #5 on:]

No matter what people say about the movie I am going to like it, even if it isn't that much. If the movie stinks I'm not going to hate it. I'll just say it was my least favorite but it was still entertaining.

Hearing you guys talk about that review is like how my uncle always says that movies get crappy reviews, and that we shouldn't see it, but we go anyway and I love it. Critics stink sometimes. But that doesn't stop me from seeing a movie.

*edit*
Also, I just read some other reviews from that site and they can be pretty harsh...jeez...
Also, I read the first paragraph of the review, and then I quickly and happily closed the window.

I'm trying hard not to look & I'm usually one who loves spoilers, haha. I think I can wait it out a few more months.

I THINK.

For my part I am not willing to base my opinion on a review by a website called theshiznit ;-)

Absolutely, it's just one person's opinion.

Some people (and critics) hated BBS whilst I loved it, there's never any need to be worried by what is said in a review unless it is getting universally panned - which isn't the case.

Doesn't really tell us much new though the wormhole mentioned seems to tie in with what that Chickendipper guy wrote in the other movie thread.

I'll wait for more info before accepting his spoilers as gospel but I'm all the more leaning towards that direction the more I find out.

Could still be wrong though.

On a related matter I'm surprised it's taken so long for another review to turn up, surely they'll start coming in thick and fast now?

[Reply #11 on:]

Yeah, sounds like it won't be the vast improvement I was hoping for after Bender's Game. However, since I really didn't like Bender's Game, any kind of improvement will be welcomed by me. And hey, it could be wrong, there were many times when reviews overhyped movies for me and left me disappointed and vice versa, so I'm still gonna remain optimistic. This movie still sounds pretty good, but after Bender's Game, I really want Futurama to end its movie run with a bang.

EDIT: This opinion could all change if I knew this dude's rating system. If it were 3.5/4 stars, disregard what I said. But based on what he said, I think it's out of 5 stars, and if it is, yeah, that thing I said follows.

[Reply #12 on:]

You can't really take one critics opinion as gospel, the Screenjabber review made it out to be an excellent movie and the best out of the four whilst the other two have painted it as a just above average effort.

I remember reading some awful reviews for Bender's Big Score yet I loved it personally, just look at the variety of opinions everyone has on the three movies so far. A fair number of people seem to love BWABB yet I thought it average at the very best.

Just try and go into the movie with no expectations and decide for yourself, admittedly my expectations will be raised somewhat with it being possibly the last Futurama we see and I have faith in the writers that they won't disappoint but all the same, I won't let reviews worry me too much.

[Reply #13 on:]

It also depends on who is reviewing.

If it is someone who isn't a diehard fan of Futurama, they won't have the biased part of it and they will pass it off as a cartoon sci-fi that is average, and will just judge it really on story plot. They won't really look too much at stuff such as the characters, and they probably wouldn't get any refrences to earlier episodes.

If they do love Futurama, usually they think that it is good, no matter what. They may think it isn't the best, but it won't be something really to stop them from watching it. As Gorge said, you should just watch it as just something regular, just watch it for the fun of it. Don't even think that it could be the last one because that will be in the back of your head as you watch it and you will be mad at the end if it wasn't that great, even if you liked watching it.

Reviews really don't scare me that much because I don't care about what people think. My uncle reviews the movies sometimes and says we shouldn't see it because it got a bad review on some website, but I would see the movie anyway and love it all the same.

[Reply #14 on:]

Futurama shows also work on a lot of levels, what Billy West refers to as layers of an onion. It often takes several watchings of a show for it all to sink in or begin to notice other things.

[Reply #15 on:]

Good points, guys. Whenever I have a franchise that I truly love and a new installment is coming (another example, Terminator and the upcoming Salvation movie), I tend to get caught up in the reviews but forget not everyone's not looking at the movie from the same perspective, and this behavior is multiplied when the last installment wasn't that good (another example: Terminator 3, and I'm hoping for the best for the upcoming movie).

Like I said though, I still have great hope and optimism for Futurama's final movie.

An user on the LJ Futurama Community said he got a screener copy for ITWGY. I emailed the guy and asked for spoilers.

This is his reply: BEWARE OF SPOILERS!!!

Show spoiler

Here's a great big bunch of Futurama spoilers.

WARNING TO EVERYONE: DON'T READ THIS IF YOU DON'T WANT THE FOURTH FUTURAMA MOVIE SPOILED.

-Fry finds himself with the ability to read minds, after a peace braclet gets jammed into his head in a freak accident. Soon he meets another man who can hear peoples thoughts, who discovers that Fry's brain is unreadable (because he's missing the Delta brainwave, as discussed in all sorts of past episodes). Pretty much everything that happens weaves around this somehow, and typing out everything would take a long, long time, suffice to say Fry somehow finds himself tasked with a huge task.

-In the first 25 or so minutes, there's a plotline about Bender falling in love with the wife of the Donbot. It's very funny.

-There's a poker tournament early on, in which Bender and Fry compete.

-Another major plot involves Leela joining a feminist group, set upon stopping Leo Wong's construction of a huge and destructive mini-golf course in space (this all revolves around Fry's quest, too), resulting in Zapp Brannigan setting out to arrest the group, which eventually contains basically all the main female characters.

THE ENDING, HUGE SPOILERS --->

Show spoiler

Show spoiler

Show spoiler

Fry and Leela admit that they love each other, with the whole team being chased by Zapp Brannigan, they fly into a giant wormhole- they make it obvious that this is a metaphor for the possibility that the show will either return or end at this point, with the Professor saying they may come out of this safe or end up never being seen again. Once they enter the hole, it cuts to credits.

Annnnnddd....lots of other stuff happens. It's pretty jam-packed, plot wise.

did the spoiler ruin the movie for you angelikfire???? i haven't read it yet


edit: nevermind i just read some of it(couldn't help it)

[Reply #18 on:]

That's pretty decent of them. I knew the ending would be something like that.

Actually, no. I'm a spoilerphile and can't resist them.

[Reply #20 on:]

same here i looked at the spioler the moment after i posted the question (hence the edit)

[Reply #21 on:]

I read some of the smaller spoilers, and the spoiler inside the spoiler. Once I got another spoiler warning, I had a gist of what it was gonna be and didn't click it.

Of course...I couldn't resist reading the spoilers (even the big one) but if I'm being honest knowing some key points in the film never bothers me at all, in fact in the past it has actually improved the viewing experience. For example, I knew that Lars was Fry well before seeing BBS but despite this it added more humour to the mix, watching Fry hate someone that was just an older version of him was brilliant.

It does sound an ambiguous ending of sorts but not with regard the Fry and Leela angle which is pleasing. I'm getting bored of the reset button being constantly hit and the angle of Fry chasing after Leela was getting short of gas. I'm glad that by the sounds of it they've wrapped it up nicely and, should the show return, they leave room open for new ideas to keep the show fresh. I've never understood people saying that it'd suck if they ever got together, personally I think it'd be hilarious. It would suck if it just turned into a fan fiction-esque  cheesefest but I don't think it would. It'd still have touching moments but there'd be so much room for more humour to be derived from it.

The ending is ambiguous in the sense that it seems to be a cliffhanger of sorts which admittedly wasn't something that I particularly wanted but if done right it shouldn't matter too much. However, if it is a cliffhanger of an ending I most certainly do want to see more Futurama. It's a fantastic show and deserves a proper, all loose ends tied up ending. It sounds like they've tied up the Fry/Leela story but there's so much more to Futurama than that so a definitive ending would be in order.

But anyway, believe or not reading the ending has not spoilt things for me, in fact it's made me look forward to the film all the more. That said if you are a bit fussy about endings being spoiled DON'T read it. I'm a rare breed in that spoilers have never ruined anything for me so unless you're the same resist the temptation.

I read the review:

Show spoiler

Uh oh, it doesn't sound good. And Seth Macfarlane? GO TO HELL!!!

[Reply #24 on:]

hi i am new and love futurama

[Reply #25 on:]

and i wanna talk

[Reply #26 on:]

Okay

[Reply #27 on:]

Wow. Amazing spoiler. Looking forward to this a lot now.

[Reply #28 on:]

Must...resist!!! UGH!!!

[Reply #29 on:]

Just by people's reactions I am hoping for the best. I am resisting so far...a month to go!

[Reply #30 on:]

Pretty good spoiler, raises my hopes a bit. If they did it right it might make for a good ending after all.

Gotta hang on for another month!

[Reply #31 on:]

Show spoiler

Same here, I'm very curious as to see how the end scene will be handled based on that spoiler. If done well it'll make for an excellent ending to the movie and possibly the series, I have faith in the writers that this will be the case.

Then there's all the other aspects in the plot which, despite some rather revealing spoilers, is still shrouded in mystery. What Fry does with his mind reading abilities is something I'm looking forward to seeing, not to mention what this task of his is all about.

Not long at all now though, less than a month to go.

[Reply #32 on:]

New (good) review with all new pictures : http://www.dvdactive.com/reviews/dvd/futurama-into-the-wild-green-yonder.html

[Reply #33 on:]

I'll put this in spoiler tags just in case.

Show spoiler

Looks like that's the final scene mentioned in Angelikfire's spoilers, looks quite fitting actually and I for one am really looking forward to seeing how the last scene is handled.

Another promising review too, the release date is starting to get tantalisingly close, less than a month now.

[Reply #34 on:]

It looks like Amy and Kif are back together.  (they're hugging in the bottom picture)

[Reply #35 on:]

I can't see the bottom picture! Argh!

[Reply #36 on:]

Yeah!  Try to find the last picture again!  I'M DYING!

MacFarlane is a good singer, that is all he is doing. Singing a song. Woo. BIG DEAL. Plus it is for Mars Vegas. Definitely the type of music they would be going with.

I read the regular spoiler, and, I already knew all of that. I didn't click the one for the end though. I want to be surprised. 

[Reply #38 on:]

It's been taken away for some bizarre reason.
