Review of Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence (2004) by Jluis_001 — 06 Feb 2018
Released twelve long years ago, Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence proves that sometimes you should not mess with what you did right the first time. This sequel is full of monologues and it becomes repetitive and most of the issues shown here are similar to the ones on the first film, and they actually feel irrelevant. Innocence is definitely a disappointment, not a bad movie but by the grandeur of its predecessor pales completely.
Some part of the narrative becomes incomprehensible and the plot does not clarify many points besides that it does not provide elements to it. Action sequences are nice and well coordinated, although they are nothing that has not been seen in any respectable anime.
The animation is amazing, drawn up in a better way, the details are more elaborate and smooth, although the atmosphere of this film has nothing to do with the original.
The score is pleasant but not memorable and barely manages to be relevant in the dramatic points of the film.
I frankly expected something superior, I enjoy the film but certainly I did not miss anything really surprising in all these years.
