Review of Ghost in the Shell (2017) by Barry C — 17 Jul 2017
When this was first announced, I was looking forward to seeing it. I love the anime` and I am a big fan of Scarlett Johansson. She deserves a much better movie than this abomination. The thing I liked the most about the anime` was that it got you to think.
The only thing I thought about watching this was how long until I walked out (answer 45 min.). Another thing about the Anime` was the stark contrast between the high tech cybernetics and the filth and clutter of Hong Kong.
GITS won an international animation award for ground breaking animation. In this movie, Hong Kong is just a bad rip off of Blade Runner and Fifth Element. In my opinion, the only way this movie could have been worse is if Michael Bay had directed it.
