Watch Ghost in the Shell For Free

Overrated and overhyped

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

I believe this movie is a great start and attempt at recreating Ghost in the Shell as a live-action adaptation! Even though I have only watched once, my review is mostly expressing something similar I noticed which another critic stated. The lack of emotional content is probably the only thing that made this movie a bit dull at times. Everything else is fairly on-point and amazing to witness for the first time. Being that this is one of my favorite anime shows and that I love animation, having an observant opinion about this type of subject is not my first rodeo. I understand the futuristic references and possibly lack of emotions, but the Major becomes very displaced in her role throughout the film. The action drama is trying to cover that, but it is not very effective. Besides that aspect of this movie, it is decent and worth watching every now and then.

Can't believe Pilou is the same guy from Game of Thrones, I never recognized him!Fabulous movie, nice there are still some movies that aren't remakes.

A good actress? Haven't figured that out. Her breasts look great in that 7 of 9 suit so there's that. As for the movie visually it was cool but the story was nothing original, lactura paucorum serva multo. Had a 'Matrix' feel to it with a splash of 'Hackers'. Hack the planet!

Compared to any Anime that has been made into a live action film in America this followed the source material respectively even if it wasn't R-rated. Other anime's that have been made into live action film like Deathnote or Kite is insulting to any fan and to even bother making Kite live action was just dumb when it is literally meant a adult movie. Hopefully Akira live action gets its Asian cast and does a good job as this.
