Bender's game


So I watched Bender's Game this weekend. I loved it. It was less confusing than Bender's Score and so much funnier than Beast with a Billion Backs.
The entire movie is a parody/spoof/tribute to Dungeons and Dragons and Lord of the Rings. The plot is much more interesting and moves a lot better than the previous two movies and the dialogue is a lot funnier. Also, you don't have to be a D&D fan to get the jokes (I'm not and I didn't feel like I was missing anything) or of LOTR either, (it does help if you have watched the movies, specially with some of the visual references.
The animation is amazing as always, specially the ships, some of which you can really appreciate with a feature that allows you to see some of them on 3D.
I will admit that it takes a while to get to the main part of the story, but it doesn't feel slow or boring because it's written well enough to keep you entertained.
The movie is not completely centered on Bender, and you see a lot of all the cast, including Zoidberg, which leaves room for a lot more jokes.

All in all, best of the three movies so far. Let's wait for February when the see Into the Wild Green yonder.

P.S. I want a tickle-me-Bender.
