Being a fan of the anime, watching this movie was expected. Was a bit skeptical at first as anime to movie adaptations rarely come out right. But this one barely made it. The fact that it didn't follow the original script was disappointing. The end result was still good but not upto the mark. At times it was a bit slow. The action was good and felt genuine. The actors are very good too. Its quite a good movie for people looking forward to watching the anime. For others, a tad bit disappointing.
Overall, do watch it. :)
