Patlabor

Is it worth to see the 3 Patlabor movies ? Last week I was a bit sleepy and watched Patlabor 1, I was not really attentive and found the movie boring (maybe because I was sleepy?). So did I miss something ? should I watch the 2 others ?

I've seen the 2nd one, it was alright. Nothing special.

The third movie (Patlabor WXIII) is excellent. But I think you have to be patient to enjoy the film - it goes along at a very, very slow pace. To that end it's a significant departure from the earlier films and TV series.

If you enjoy Mamoru Oshii's other films (Urusei Yatsura 2, Ghost in the Shell) I think you'll like the environment that's created in this one, the visuals along with the soundtrack by Kenji Kawai work well together.
