MCT:April 17, 2008First things first, i was never a fan of the Cowboy Bebop series and i had no idea what to expect.
Very Impressive. Ingenious. Well done. It rocks!
Interesting storyline, top-notch soundtrack, and stunning animation!
It mixes so many genres together: sci-fi, drama, western, animation, kung-fu, action, jazz, and a hint of comedy. Well, what more to ask?
It combines retro-futuristic style, detailed artwork, realistic action, deep characters, gunplay, magic, spaceships, amazing fight sequences, and brilliant story-telling.
If this was made into a real movie, it could have been the best action film ever made!
"machines and beans and trucks with nuts, there they are, Macedamian nuts!" -LOL i really like Edward! he balances the seriousness of the other characters!
So far this is the best anime i have ever seen!
So watch it, NOW! =]
I watched it again today, its always fun :D -

Cowboy Bebop is the best japanese animated serie of the history but the movie isn`t able to match this high quality. Even with the traditional rock/jazzy/ bluesy soundtrack, fantastic screenplay and character development, charming animation and beautiful takes, "CowBe - The Movie" lacks exactly for this reason: It is a movie. If it was an episode or only a special with a smaller running time, the plot would flow better. It seems like a stretched episode of the series. Even so, this is one of the best animated features in many years.

MCT:March 31, 2008Decent. Seems a bit too much like a single episode stretched out into a full length movie. Would definitely work better more compact and a half hour long.

The Japanese show once again how animes can not only be great series, but great movies as well. The Cowboy Bebop series is well written and so is this film.
Although this movie is released a few years after the last episode it makes one wonder when this actually takes place in the Bebop universe. With the characters that are involved and some of the conversations that pop up, many may be inclined to believe that this takes place sometime in the middle of the series.
Like many other animes, the story is fantastic. I guess it is easier to focus on the story when you don't have to worry about the acting. This film gives you everything that you remember from the series. The character interaction is good and so is the action. You get the usual gun-play, hand-to-hand combat, and ship chases. The final fight (hand-to-hand) at the end is phenomenal. Nicely choreographed and drawn. My only real gripe with this film is that the whole thing takes place on Mars. This isn't totally bad, but there are too little space sequences when compared to the series. Then again, this is only a two hour movie.
Once again, Yoko Kanno and The Seatbelts deliver in the music department. You get the same jazzy feel as the series and this does wonders for this film. The same thing can be said about the voice work.
Visually, this anime is top-notch. The landscapes and futuristic settings are portrayed well and Faye Valentine is still sexy as h***.
You don't have to have seen the series to watch this film, but it will really help with the understanding of the characters. In any case, most of the people that watch this will be fans of the series.
