Ghost in the Shell

Epic movie and such a shame it got bad publicity as a sequel would have been great. Love how Takeshi Kitano & Pilou Asbaek were part of the cast. Visually well done and Johansson did a great job as the lead role 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿

It's an excellent movie...

This is probably my favorite movie of all time.

If all you want is action and awesome special effects, okay. But the story you've already seen a thousand times, nothing new here, and so you already know what dialog and the plot is go...

There are some decent cyberpunk vibes throughout, but overall I must say it lacks the sophistication of the original. Much of the allure and mystic is lost, and what is left feels like a cold "shell" of the original. Over-explaining the plot and simultaneously simplifying it, is not a great recipe for a good movie.

I have seen far better, but also far worse movies. For an boring evening, when nothing else can be found, it's enough.

Rupert Sanders spends a lot of time on the visuals, both painstakingly recreating images from the '95 film and creating new ones . . . unfortunately everything else suffers, from the lackluster script to the lifeless performances this mostly seems like a missed opportunity.

We loved it, all 3 of us, the plot makes more sense compared to the original anime. Scarlett Johansson was a good choice indeed, some scenes will stay forever in our imagination. Frankly I don't understand the negative reviews.

Honestly I thought it was good but it's not, 1 hour is 46 minutes of ordering

I love it for what it is. Do I have problems with it here and there, yes. Did it ruin my viewing experience, no. Did it follow the source material more closely indeed it did as well as taking elements from the animated series Stand Alone Complex. Which I don't think was an overall great idea but I'm not a director.
