The last movie I watched was Cowboy Bebop: The Movie. I've seen it many times before (I own it on DVD), but a few days ago I just felt like watching it.
The story-line is interesting (the crew of the Bebop try to hunt down a wanted terrorist who is trying to destroy all life on Mars, and as a result has a huge bounty on his head); there are two of the better fight scenes (Spike vs Electra, Spike vs Vincent) that I've seen in movies, animated or otherwise; and the characters are just so damned cool. If you like the series, you would like the movie because it's basically like watching a movie-length episode of the show.
The only thing I didn't like was that the usual freestyle jazz intro music - a song called "Tank" - was replaced by some other song. The new song wasn't bad. It just wasn't "Tank".
I give it 5/5.
