3.5/5
"Lustrous"
Filmcritic.com
Chris Barsanti
A-
"We come down to the simple fact that this is Cowboy Bebop, and in the end, the journey taken is more important than whether or not it makes any sense."
FilmJerk.com
Edward Havens
B
"The big-screen treatment allows the creators' vision to bloom in a way it could never quite do on the tube, but in essence the movie is an expanded episode of the show."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
"Cowboy Bebop fans will be slightly disappointed and newbies will be nonplussed as to the show’s cult following."
Sci-Fi Movie Page
James O'Ehley
3/4
"The visually arresting animation is more than enough to compensate when narrative confusion threatens to overwhelm."
Palo Alto Weekly
Jeanne Aufmuth
6/10
"What starts off as something quite slick slowly devolves into something resembling a typically generic anime film. What a shame."
Window to the Movies
Jeffrey Chen
C+
"The parts are better than the sum"

Larry Carroll
3/5
"The brisk, engaging story has a strong undercurrent of
Blade Runner
-esque, the animation is utterly gorgeous."
TV Guide's Movie Guide
Maitland McDonagh
"A bewildering introduction to the world of
CB,
particularly for an anime neophyte... but an enjoyable one nevertheless."
Flick Filosopher
MaryAnn Johanson
C
"Based on the popular Japanese animated TV series, it features many of the strengths and weaknesses of the genre."
Laramie Movie Scope
Robert Roten
B
"... part high-tech thriller, part high-energy action spectacle, with a dark undercurrent and solemn gravity constantly goosed by goony comic relief."
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Sean Axmaker
"This switched-on futuristic anime noir is visually stunning -- and it makes a lot more sense than
Spirited Away
!"
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
3/4
""cowboy," no question; "bebop," another matter altogether."
