So I didnt appreciate them perhaps as much as I should have done ?
the first 3 films are great and altho the last 3 have some good moments they really are pants.
and they dont have a definitive ending. you're left wondering whats going on.
if you get a chance to read the manga do as i think its the finest example of graphic storytelling ever.
it took me up until volume 8 or 9 before it really clicked and dont think it compares to anything else.
the ending is tragic and beautiful at the same time.
