![]() Even after several viewings, I find myself fully satisfied at the film's end, and perhaps even intellectually stimulated, without this demanding excessive efforts on my behalf. ![]() Patlabor takes the time needed to establish a coherent storyline, and the viewer is amply rewarded by a big and very thrilling dose of action in the end, made all the more involving by the intricate prior build-up that we've been following. All the same, I really don't see what there is to complain about. ![]() Or maybe it's because I saw Patlabor 2 first, which makes this first film seem lightning quick in comparison. Maybe it's because there are enough riveting action scenes to counterbalance the slower ones, or because a lot of the non-action scenes are spent on a believeable build-up to make the finale all the more poignant, while throwing in genuinely interesting issues and fleshing out the likeable characters in a very entertaining way. ![]() Not to act like the brighter-than-thou intello snob here, but this never even remotely bothered me. The main complaint from those who dislike Patlabor the movie is that it's too slow and dull.
