It's worth the watch if you don't want to bother with the TV series, but I don't think it's as good. While the animation and art are acceptable and feel "Golgo," the one thing that really nagged at me was Golgo's lack of capability. Throughout the TV series, he never really got cornered, but he was injured and held unconscious several times throughout this, which kind of messed with my image of him. I like the TV series mainly because the idea of some world-renowned nigh-invincible assassin is awesome. Queen Bee subtracted from that and didn't really even focus on him that much. As a stand-alone movie, it is good, but I didn't really like it. Objectively, it's a long way ahead of The Professional, which, while appealing more to my opinion of Golgo, was a fairly difficult movie to sit through. I'll say go ahead and watch it if you don't want to sit through 50 episodes, but maybe avoid it if you've already watched them. I have a feeling I'm just being finicky, but it's my opinion nevertheless.
