The netflix adaptation of the beloved and classic anime 'Cowboy Bebop' may not be good by conventional standards; it does fall short in a few aspects, most prominently the story save a few individual powerul moments. Characters arent as developed as some may like however the cast and acting make up for it partially and while the writing doesnt give us much to love, the acting makes the audience love it anyway. While not conventially brilliant i have to say that a lot of reviews i have read have been far too critical and i have to give credit to the creators for taking on such a tremendous challenge adapting something so popular. If someone changes something you loved from your youth, chances are you'd be far more critical aswell. While falling short in many conventional ways i have to say that whether or not critics see it the same way, i havent had this much fun with a show in ages, everything from the unique aesthetic to the amazing performances leads to an incredible guilty pleasure and an overall fun watch. 3.5/5 - A fun watch but not to be met with high expectations due to its many blatant downfalls through a conventially critical lens. My advice, don't look for the flaws as many fans of the original have, just sit back and enjoy and have a good time with it and itll feel more like a 4.5/5 :)

2 stars because it is watchable. But that's just it, it's watchable. Why does no one ever learn to just use the story of the games? Adapting a video game story to film is a creative challenge enough, why are you trying to be 'smart' and changing an already incredible plot. I swear, I'm going into the directing industry with the sole purpose of making a resident evil film that just sticks to the games instead of making a failure as unbearably bad as this for a franchise as incredible as Resident Evil.

Majority of 1 star reviews are complaining about lack of campaign... in an asymetrical horror multiplayer. Yeah cause DBD did rly bad didn't it lmfao. There ARE connectivity issues but they can be resolved and will be soon enough, Saber has already tackled most in the first day, and yes there is only 1 map rn but... its day one! Cut saber some slack! They are rly nice developers who truly care about their game and they will listen to the community. Gameplay is fun and intuative, balancing is NOT bad and everyone saying its killer sided is the same person that bought haddonfield offerings to DBD. Its a good time! Major respect to the developers for honouring the source material and its legacy aswell. There is only one word to describe my impressions... groovy

To keep it simple: This film is awful in the best way.

This game perfectly acheieves everything that the intended audience wanted it to acheive. The parkour is flawless and the combat (espeically against human NPCs) is a significant improvement from the first game. The new and improved skill tree grants players access to a wide variety of abilities which truly make you feel like you are in control of your character's actions as opposed to the almost 'rail' feeling of the mirror's edge series. However, if you are looking for a well-written RPG with greatly altering endings, stop now, turn around, and got to Bethesda. For the unlimited praise that I can give this game it has one of the worst stories I have ever seen yet thankfully it makes skipping past it very simple to do, therefore overall I didn't consider it to dampen the experience, hence the 5 star review. This game has some of the most incredible gameplay that I have ever seen and I cannot recommend it highly enough, it is exactly what the dying era of AAA games needed and I am going back to it for another 40 hours now that my first playthrough is complete. Greatly recommended.
