I hated the original Heavy Metal, with it's cheap animation and bad script. Even the best stories, the two at the beginning and the one at the end, were poor. I watched HM:2000 and while it is not one of my favorites, I say it is better. Better animation, better characters, and a nice plot. I wish the final battle was better though. It was more violent than Braveheart's battle scenes, but it didn't have the same pizzaz. I liked Julie, but she is no Iria. (check out Iria:Zeiram the Animation on this same website). She's a strong character, but she was also a tad mean spirited. Michael Ironside probably had a lot of fun playing Tyler.
