Review of Ghost in the Shell (2017) by Chris W — 24 Feb 2018

I got a free ticket to see Ghost in the Shell. And good thing, too. It was dull. But just in case you forgot which movie you were watching, they showed you the title twice in the opening credits. That was already a bad sign.

I never cared about anything that was going on and Major Motoko's character was completely wrong.

Also, everybody either mumbles, has a thick accent, or sounds disinterested. It makes it very hard to follow without concentrating.

Seing the visuals and designs from the anime movie was cool, and some of the characters were their actual badass selves for a fleeting moment, but that was it. Everything else was poorly written.

Just skip this one and watch the original or the Stand Alone Complex TV show instead.
