  • I tried to love this. Pales compared to the original.
I went in to this movie after hearing from both sides of people who have both loved and hated the movie. Since there are more than a few people that loved the original, but still think this is a good movie, I tried my hardest to go into this with a decent amount of hope for the movie, that it may be able to do things in it's own way, but still be as good and engaging as the original. I finished the movie annoyed and disappointed. I felt patronized and treated like a child through most of the film. Hollywood really did lobotomize Ghost in the Shell. The story has been gutted from the original nuanced plot and replaced with a generic plot that beats you over the head with the point. The characters are also poorly defined with almost no nuance to them. The actors are fine, though even if I think they dont understand what defines the characters in the original film. The biggest strength of the film is the visuals. They mostly nailed how the Ghost in the Shell universe would likely look like. On to spoiler territory (for both the original movie, and this remake). So, the whole Scar-Jo debacle is stupid. She does fine for her role, even if her character is completely different than the original Motoko Kusanagi. A good actor is a good actor. Judge the merits of the film for what they are. The original film was about the idea of one's self. The idea of being a "human", vs "a consciousness". It touches on some very uncomfortable ideas, like memories being just information, what makes you unique, and trans-humanism. The new film does not really touch on all of that. It deals more heavily with free will in society and corporate power, along with hamfistedly being a cautionary anti-corporate story. Now, the original movie was subtle with how it presented each character, with their backstories having a ton to do with how each of the characters interact with each other. As an example, Motoko in the original is Motoko from the outset (and in the other works in this universe, you learn that she was one of the first people with a fully cybernetic body due to unfortunate circumstances, and has a history with most of the other people in Section 9). In the new version, Motoko is not Motoko, she was a run-away called Motoko until they wiped her memory and used her as the first completely successful fully cybernetic body person. They cram her into Section 9 as a way to show how badass a fully cybernetic person can be. "The Major" has basically nothing to do with Motoko. "The Major" shows up as part of Section 9 literally weeks before the "beginning of the story" and has no history with any of the characters due to the complete tossing of her backstory. The "New Major" is not a complicated character, just a blank slate. She is a badass only because of her fully cybernetic body in the new movie, the original made her out to be a badass because of her experience, since she is NOT the only fully cybernetic person (in the other works from the universe it is made clear that there are many other "special ops" groups with plenty of full-cybernetic people in them, as Batou comes from the army and is heavily enhanced himself). There are many plot points and character interactions that are carried over from the original, but are completely jarring and nonsensical due to the fact that they tossed out the back-story to basically every character because of their complete tossing of the Major's back story and nuanced interactions with the characters. One that stood out to me as one of the most nonsensical plot points is when Batou finds The Major diving in the bay. Batou and The Major have NO HISTORY prior to a couple weeks ago, but he "knows where to find her". What? I guess Batou is telepathic? In the original, it is hinted upon that The Major and Batou have a long history together, and that he finds her diving since that is what she does to clear her mind/try to feel more human, Batou knows about her diving trips from before. The movie also assumes you have seen the original movie, and presents some of the characters without any establishing scenes. Togusa in the new version also is never properly fleshed out. The original movie makes it clear that Togusa is the newbie to Section 9, and comes from regular civilian law enforcement, and that The Major specifically chose him due to his preference against augmentations, as a person she can trust. He makes it clear that he is the more analogue take on things, and prefers to use revolvers when everyone else uses automatics, even saying that he just loves his Unica. Due to the way they completely tossed the character of The Major, in the new version, Togusa has been with Section 9 longer than The Major... what? They also only give him a couple lines, and never actually have him interact with anyone. He does carry his signature Unica, but there is no explanation as to why, and he never uses it. The entire cast of characters in general is a mess due to their decision to completely toss the backstory that every character leans on. The story is also completely tossed and dumbed down. The original story was about finding a truly sentient AI as the result of a chasing down a terrorist hacker. The AI created the whole mess to get itself out of the confines that the government had it in, and wants to obtain a human perspective by mixing consciousnesses with The Major. The new movie is a bog-standard "evil mega corporation that does horrific immoral human experiments needs to be stopped". The corporation puts The Major in Section 9, as an example of their ability to create a military-grade cybernetic person, then in the process of trying to use Section 9 to clean up their messes from their experiments, The Major finds out the truth and takes down the evil CEO. The original presents it's implications, and leaves you hanging to ponder them. The new movie makes up your mind for you. As an example, the arc where the hacked sanitation worker gets tracked down and eventually arrested. The original sets up the situation, making it out to be a normal day, but one of the workers is being coerced into helping a terrorist for money. The whole iconic chase and fight scene in the water happens, the terrorist is captured, and then it hits you with the realization in the interrogation room. The terrorist had their mind hacked, and memories replaced, all to give him the true motivation of trying to do something to make money for his non-existent kid's future. It ends the arc by telling you that the erased memories are unable to be recovered, and The Major and Batou bring up the question of "do your memories make you who you are?". The new movie tosses all of that "deep nonsense". The sanitation workers are straight hacked mid-route and completely taken over, they have no real will. They add the pointless scene of an attempted assassination of a pointless character that was added to try to give the audience a poorly cobbled together emotional attachment. The fight scene happens (I feel like they didnt understand what made the original movie's fight in the water so memorizing), and then they have a weird "futuristic" jail cell, where the remaining terrorist is held, where the terrorist is half under the control of the hacker. They clumsily bring up the fact that the person's memory was overwritten and cant come back, and it ends with the sanitation worker hanging himself... What? Why? I guess the writer thinks that all of the viewers cant be left with any questions, you are too dumb to think about complicated things. It is fine if they wanted to be different from the original movie. But, what they did is only half rip everything out, so you have a bunch of loose-ends, they then decided to spend almost no effort on creating the new stuff while jamming it in, expecting everything to fit properly. In the end, the new movie isnt "bad", but it isn't "good". The only thing that stood out to me in any way, was the visuals. The way they portrayed the futuristic cyberpunk world was great, but having an interesting world, and impressive visuals, does not make a good movie by themselves. ... show more

  • Good Movie, Back Packaging
This movie is one of my favorites. The only trouble I had was getting a copy that wasn’t damaged. After being sent a replacement, the movie still arrived damaged. I can only assume that this movie has been sitting In storage for a long time. Otherwise amazon handled my situation well and it’s just worth paying attention to the packaging and case. ... show more

  • Slick, stylish and beautiful to watch
I'm giving this five stars, because I really enjoyed it, but I don't think it's the most amazing movie I've ever seen. It's a solid sci fi experience - beautifully performed and super stylish. I watched the original anime ages ago, at some point in the 90s I imagine. I was just starting to get into anime back then, and this was one of the few things they brought over to the US that you could rent without going to a special store to find. I'm pretty sure I got it at Blockbuster or something like that, that was how "mainstream" it was at the time. I remember being a little confused by the story. Anime, in some ways, can be a little like Shakespeare. It seems mind boggling at first, but if you read enough of it, you start to get the rythym of the language and it becomes easier to understand the quirks. Anime can be like this - often with strange and off the wall things never being explained, weird twists and concepts. It's got a lot of conventions you just get used to that are used like shorthand, for instance things like sweatdrops and the like. Ghost in the Shell doesn't have that stuff, but it's a dense story that requires some mental unpacking to get the full gist. Maybe I've just seen enough anime now I don't have the same problem I used to, but I found this movie spelled out the plot fairly clearly. The main character is mostly synthetic, except she has a human brain. It's set in a world where people augment their bodies to work more efficiently. One of my favorite images from the anime that stuck with me was the finger tips that opened and each had additional fingers for typing. It's a little redundant an augment when you can just jack your mind into a computer, but it was a fun visual nonetheless. The main character is a kind of detective - this is a simplification of her job, but I don't want to get too much into the plot - and she's trying to discover who is murdering people and stealing info from their brains. Doing so leads her to some deeper discoveries. The movie is relatively faithful to the anime. I know a lot of guff was given about the idea of "white washing," but to me anyway, anime characters are never inherently Japanese, or Korean, or from wherever the book is written. Unless it's part of their backstory, their characterization is more important than their race for me. If race is important to their character, I'd prefer the race remain the author's intent. But if it's used like hair or eye color, as mere description, I'm less concerned - which is why I don't tend to care when it's changed in either direction - black spider-man, white Motoko - if their race didn't really matter that much in the original media, I don't see why it matters much in any other representation of it. Knowing that's my opinion, you'll understand why I don't dock the movie points for this. I'm judging it strictly on its own merits. On that front, it was well acted. Everyone in it did a great job. Scarlet was really great as a kind of synthetic character who slowly comes into her emotions. She was strong and powerful. In a movie where so much depends on the main character getting you into their skin, she did a good job making me empathize with her story. The supporting characters were well fleshed out, considering they didn't get much screen time. I believed her partner cared about her, and they shared a bond, even though he didn't have many scenes with her. Anime, particularly sci fi anime, often has over the top visual style. It would be one of the hardest aspects to translate to a live action film. This move does that in spades. The city sequences are almost too arresting. I felt like I needed to watch the movie more than once just so I could actually see everything that was going on. The action stuff was well done, many scenes frame-by-frame faithful reproductions of the anime. It's pretty clear a lot of time and effort was put into making this a faithful adaptation when it came to visual style. If you enjoy science fiction visual spectacles like The Fifth Element and Blade Runner, this should be right up your alley. The story is pretty good. I don't think you'll be surprised by the ending, but if you're a sci-fi fan, it should feel fairly satisfying. I'd recommend it to people who like action sci-fi movies. ... show more
