Rotten
The movie, with room to gallop through nearly two hours and an R rating, often just kicks around in the stable.

Even those unfamiliar with the good ship Bebop will enjoy the high-intensity action and witty dialogue.

Folks who go for this sort of thing will find it the sort of thing they go for. But the rest of us may find reason to scratch our heads and scratch again.
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

Honors the affectless beauty of the original anime art and maintains the outlaw boppiness of the series concept.

Helmer Shinichiro Watanabe's oversight of Bebop's more expansive visual canvas is impressive, bringing out details not previously seen in tale's small screen version.
