Just what I expected

A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

It is so daring, it is so ambitious, it is so thrilling and weird and pointed and powerful. I never knew where it was going.

Blistering performances.

Never has a film that inspired or been referenced so much been so boooooring.

Let me start by saying, I love this movie, I love robots and love robot movies. I'll be honest here, I'm not a big anime fan but there have been some I like. My first time seeing Ghost in the Shell was when I ordered it through the library back in July, and ever since kept re-checking it out. I just can't get enough of it, I love it. The characters are cool, Major Motoko Kusinagi is my favorite out of the characters she is very,very sexy and cool. When I first seen her birth sequence in the opening credits I was like this is cool, I love how they show off her sexy naked body in a beautiful way.Batou is my second favorite, he is cyber-inhanced and second in charge of the anti-terrorist unit of section 9.I'm getting off point here, but Section 9 must stop some kind of computer entity from hacking and controlling government property. I don't want to say more with out ruining anything but I hope you get to see this I just love.Overall a cool little film that is made for adults with mind teasing philosophic questions and cool action scenes. I give it an 8/10. Pure excitement from start to finish. I loved it.Highly recommend.

The philosophy about soul, information, knowledge and culture, a simple, short, volatile film that carries with it a concept that is now widely discussed and discussed, is that perhaps 20-30 years later, "Ghost In The Shell" seen as a portrait of the prelude of thought between the correlation of soul and machine. An extremely complex and difficult to understand script, at least at the beginning, it is necessary to sit in front of the TV and not blink a second, even short, we have a reasonable development of the characters, and outcomes that cause pure passion to the viewer and a sense of admiration to history and climate of the film. This climate is pure responsibility of the photography of the film, with an extremely dark, rainy color palette that creates a climate in the best style "Blade Runner", is a future that although it is Cyber ​​ Punk, it is not yet lost or depressed , he is still in the process of deconstruction and loss of values, we can not fail to mention the gore and violence that is used only when necessary, and in this perhaps the film leaves the chance to ally the shock of the plot with a shock in the graphic, but on the other hand the concept of allying nudity to invisibility is new and very interesting, and is extremely beautiful on screen, the film has an animation only "Ok", resisting today it is impossible not to realize how the same is Dated, at least in terms of animation. The quest to humanize the machine is not something new, but it's always interesting, and "Gosth In The Shell" is no different, one of the icons of Eastern pop culture, it's still a great film that brings extremely punctual reflections in a cliché way, and with much charm and elegance.

It is the year 2029. Technology has advanced so far that cyborgs are commonplace. In addition, human brains can direct to the internet directly. Major Motoko Kasunagi is an officer in Section 9, an elite, secretive police division that deals with special operations, including counter terrorism and cyber crime. She is currently on the trail of the Puppet Master, a cyber criminal who hacks into the brains of cyborgs in order to obtain information and to commit other crimes.Entertaining movie. Intriguing plot with decent development. Good action scenes and great CGI. Covers some interesting themes too, including the theme that always comes in cyborg/robot movies, sentience and what it means to be human.Not brilliant though. Many scenes feel like your average action- thriller at times, with the conventional car chases and the like. The whole sentience theme is nothing new (see Blade Runner, for example) and feels underdeveloped here.Moreover, the ending is quite open-ended and anticlimactic. I was hoping for something more profound, or, at least, conclusive.Good, but not great.
