Irishchatter I thought this film was alright, the English voice actors were really good like they showed how much they had put into their roles and not muck up. Although I have to say, the action is this should've been more active like it seems to be the characters don't know very much on how to kick real bad guy ass. Now when they were on the space crafts, it felt so real that I was either in Thunderbirds, Star Trek or Star Wars. One or the other, they were some good scene's. I didn't think the ending was the best because I would've thought Spike would kill Vincent and of course, win over Electras heart but unfortunately it was not the case!

TheLittleSongbird The show is one of the finest examples of anime there is, so when I heard that there was a movie I thought to myself that this could go either way. Thankfully Cowboy Bebop: The Movie went the way I hoped it would, which was that being a movie that complimented the show well and succeeded on its own merits, both of which Cowboy Bebop: The Movie does brilliantly. The animation is both ethereal and haunting, with the character designs and faces expressive. The music is emotionally complex and fits the mood of the film perfectly, when there's action it's rousing, when there is an emotional moment it is poignant and when there is an intensely dark moment it is haunting. The dialogue is very thought-provoking with some nice humour, true to the style of the show actually, while the story has a lot of layers and my attention never wavered. The characters are still the characters we know and love and written just as well. Of course the show had more time to develop its stories and characters, but the movie does more than credibly in both these areas. The voice work is similarly impressive. Overall, I recommend it without hesitation. 10/10 Bethany Cox

Rectangular_businessman I can't believe some of the criticism this movie received.Sure, it was like an extended episode of the series, but's that's the great about this movie. Being a big fan of "Cowboy Bebop" I loved this film, mostly because it had all the good things that made me like the original show in first place: The great characters, the excellent animation, the exciting combination of action, comedy and thrills, and last but no least, the magnificent music from Yoko Kanno and The Seatbelts.This is possibly one of most entertaining movies (animated or live action) ever made, being quite enjoyable without having to see the original series first. And it offers tons of fun, from beginning to end.10/10 (I will give this movie 11 stars If I could)

lewiskendell "Well, that's a real shame. But, we're not cops and we're not from some charity organization. Sorry lady, we don't protect or serve. This is strictly business."One word came to my mind after watching this. Unnecessary.I have been putting off watching the Cowboy Bebop movie for several years now. I'm a huge fan of the show, but I had heard and read so many mixed or negative reviews of the movie online and from friends, that I was hesitant to see it. In the end, though, I figured that any Cowboy Bebop had to be somewhat worthwhile. That turned out to be partially true, but I still find myself disappointed.To be blunt, the story was completely uninteresting. Each episode of the series was like a (good) mini-movie on its own, so I don't get why giving the creators more time to develop and tell this story, ended up producing something that wasn't nearly as engaging as any given one of the original episodes. It felt like the decision to make the movie came first, and very little effort was put into making a worthy plot to go along with it.The new characters are uniformly dull, much of the soundtrack was poor (How did THAT happen? Where's the jazz?), and the film as a whole felt disjointed, at best. I tried as hard as o could to like it all, but the most positive description I can give for my experience is "meh".I'll admit that it warmed my fanboy heart to see Spike, Faye, and the gang in action again. The animation was very good, and some of the action scenes were top notch. But without the great storytelling that we've all come to expect, I'd recommend this to only the most fervent Cowboy Bebop fan. You'd have much more fun in the same amount of time by just watching four of your favorite episodes of the show.
