Chicago Sun-TimesRoger Ebert
This isn't a great movie. But it's sincere as an entertainment, it looks good, it's atmospheric, and I will perk up the next time I hear Gianna is in a picture. Read full review

Not only isn't the new effort up to the standards of the anime, it's bloody awful by any standard. Read full review
