I think it was a great interpretaton of the anime. I never expected things to be 1:1 with the show but I obviously see where the influence comes from. The music and the sets really help tie everything together. I'm a big fan of Bebop too, I have collectors editons of the anime and I've met Shinichiro Watanabe in person. I think the hardcore fans are just blowing things out of proportion. The live action is good especially for being an anime adaptation. We all know cartoon/book to film adaptations are never 100% accurate but that doesn't mean they're never worth watching.
