The argument is unconvincing. The plot is cool but the development is very lame.

Pretty demented, and doesn't feel the need to explain itself

Gorgeous to look at, but a little too bonkers to really engage with.

Epic/bizarre. Creepy music. Gorgeous animation. Much less about that bike than I thought.

This has defined animation movies. It DOES contain violence - but so does the bible. WATCH
