DVD Talk review of 'Futurama: Bender's Big Score'
I read Randy Miller III's DVD review of Futurama: Bender's Big Score at http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/read.php?ID=31454 and...
No stars for the video? Was it that bad?
Good review otherwise!

I don't think the rating is "zero stars" I think that Randy was just not assigning a rating to the video since he didn't have the final product.
As he mentions in his review:

As he mentions in his review:
This being a Fox "Special Screening Copy", moderate amounts of compression artifacts and the studio's watermark appear sporadically, preventing a proper visual rating from being awarded. Should a final copy be sent over, this section will most certainly be updated.

I'm watching a rental copy now, and it looks like all the compression issues on Randy's screener are completely absent. This movie looks darn good - I'd probably give it a 4.5 or maybe even a 5, but I'm more lenient than Randy on such issues.

It's probably the best transfer of a non-CGI animated feature I've ever seen.
The sound, on the other hand, seemed really low and quiet to me - I had to turn up my receiver a lot.

Is the packaging supposed to be "green" or something? Cause it really sucks. Could've at least used a thin plastic keepsake case instead of cardboard envelopes.
