Hoo boy. Another case of Movie That Only Looks Good For The Trailers. The original concept has been lobotomized so there's just empty characters going through the motions to have a final battle with a Mean Person whose death will fix everything but actually just makes the whole thing feel circular and soulless. Overexplainy (the makers assume we're dumb) and without a point (the makers assume we don't need one, because dumb), just another unnecessary title for the 'forgettable' pile.

A vaguely sinister multinational constructs an idealized female human form from computers and corporate interests, only to encounter backlash when that form starts questioning its identity in a world where individuality is informed by physical attributes. Production history or plot synopsis? This film is unintentionally meta af.

RoboCop's younger sister is broody and serious with an alluring aura of self-importance. Once you talk to her, you find that she's not much smarter than her older brother, and although less violent, she's also infinitely less fun to be around. But Sweet Mother of Jesus is she a looker.

I guess I'm one of the only people who liked this. As a HUGE fan of the original movie, I thought this did a pretty decent job translating all of the themes and tone of the original while also managing to look and feel like it as well. It is dumbed down quite a bit, and I do think the original was more more interesting and with a better ending, but this was way better than I was lead to believe. Visually pleasing and with a great score as well. If you liked the original, give this a go.

Shallow and rarely exciting, both on paper and in practice. Since I was a teenager I've heard anime nerds moan and whinge at every rumor of Hollywood adapting this, along with Akira, Cowboy Bebop, etc. That dreaded moment is finally here, and they screwed it up in exactly the ways all the nerds said they would. At least the disappointment is solid enough, predictable enough, and unpopular enough to not make a dent in the legacy of the anime.

Cool remake of RoboCop... :P Visually stunning and different enough from GITS to feel like it took only names and vague themes from the original. Fails to make anywhere near the psychological impact or philosophical ruminations of the original (and series) but manages to sufficiently demonize the dehumanizing corporate machine to make the story arc satisfying.

Explicitly foregrounds the identity concerns that were touched on in the original film, while deftly drawing links between dehumanization, globalism, corporatism, and the deep state, so that it recalls RoboCop as much as anything else, right down to that film's ending, its irony played without a wink and a nod. It's far more remix than remake, and complements (and criticizes) the original rather than rendering it obsolete. And if you're worried that it's a mindless actioner, don't be.

A cybernetic anti-terrorist agent discovers that her origins may not be as she remembers them. I have zero familiarity with the manga or anime, so I may be way off base here, but it seems to share a ton of similarities with Robocop. Of course, it lacks any of Robocop's hyperviolent action, sharp satire or subtler character moments. It does have some nice cyberpunk eye candy, with a script dumber than a box of rocks. Just enough cool stuff to make a sweet looking trailer, but that's about it.

I think what we can all agree on here is that I have absolutely zero idea where the bar is anymore for "good movie vs. bad movie" to the public. Apparently this is deemed in general to be below that bar. I think that's silly. The worst thing that I can say about this movie in my own subjective example is that it's an exercise in style over substance. That's not even a bad thing necessarily! Don't engage the race-bait arguments, they're beneath you. Just go watch a visually cool-ass movie.

Fantastic visuals, and an impressive soundtrack can only do so much to ramp up a film that I can only be described as boring. It never feels like the stakes are as high as they should be, especially comparing it to the animes. It's ok, but it could have been vastly improved with a more tense story with some better casting on the part of the Major and Batou.

For better or worse this feels pretty true to the old school manga feel with stunning visuals, interesting sci-fi concepts and as much wooden dialogue as it can hold. The AI subtext is dumbed down somewhat compared to the original, but with the exception of one amazingly ineptly written scene (the tea time exposition filler) and the end scene's (I'm guessing) involuntarily funny juxtaposition of "free will FTW!" VO with her literally doing what she's told, this was quite enjoyable.

It's visually intriguing and doesn't really bore, though it sets itself up to fail with its haphazard employment of orientalist aesthetics coupled with the highly problematic white-washing. In addition, I feel as though this film skipped the philosophical and sociological examinations that are inherent to GitS's universe, instead taking an elementary stab at Cartesian dualism. GitS normally offers a complex look at the erosion of identity politics as tech progresses, this film missed the point.

It's not without any redeeming features, but this is poor even before it's compared with the very fine Oshii anime. There's plenty of eye candy on show, but some very fine visuals can't save a screenplay that can only be politely described as complete dog shit. Fight scenes are lacklustre and the whole film never gets out of first gear; lacking real peril or dramatic consequence. It oddly dumbed down too, but ultimately its biggest issue is that it's boring.

Lackluster writing lets down capable, colourful visuals (Scarlett Johansson's poorly generated CG body is balanced out by occasional moments of true cinematic beauty) and produces a pretty average movie that, in the end, features a cast more diverse than most Western films despite its--still unfortunate--whitewashing of the main character.

The whitewashing is a problem (mainly because it's an unecessary distraction and sets itself up for a lot of jokes), the dialogue is often horrendous, and the villain has very little charisma, but the world itself is marvelous (aside from the god damn holograms; holograms annoy me), and the plotting moves along nicely. The themes it touches upon are simple but relatable and revolve around a cliched but powerful question: Where does humanity end and technology begin? Better than Johnny Mnemonic.

Such a waste of potential. This could have been a magnificent sci-fi movie with a unique setting, interesting characters and great action. Instead what we've got is just another generic dumb action garbage flick with everything in it happening not to advance the story or develop the characters, but just to make this exact scene look cool. Even the special effects aren't so great - Johanssons rubber ass jumping around doesn't look convincing at all.

Binoche is too good for this tedious remake of FRANKENSTEIN, which serves only to show, once again, how well Hyams did on DAY OF RECKONING with a tiny fraction of the budget. To conclude with "humanity is our virtue" flies in the face of everything that could potentially have made this interesting, and to follow that up with her stating that "I know what I'm meant to do", then end with her being "authorised" to follow some orders, tends to consolidate the feeling that the writers were clueless.

It's two decades too late since we already explored these themes in the Matrix, westworld series, and other robot/replicant/AI themed shows. What this does right is that techno cyberpunk atmosphere including the soundtrack. It does take artistic "liberties" in making a more elaborate and gaudy world than the original anime but it is still realistic and thematically appropriate. The race bending aspect of this does kind of suck but there is a reasonable plot point to justify in this film.

Amazing visual effects and a great soundtrack along with impressive costumes and world design mesh to create a striking aesthetic. It had some interesting ideas which weren't fully fleshed out and the Hanka bad guy was pretty rubbish. The arguments levelled about whitewashing/race-bending ended up addressed as a quite distasteful plot point. I liked the build up of the first 2/3rds but as the plot unfolded I started losing interest up to the meh ending. Overall however it was fairly enjoyable.

It's not visually uninteresting, and if you like cyberpunky stuff (which I more or less do) the story is amusing enough to follow along. It all feels kinda soulless-Hollywood-sleek though, a bit dumbed down and simplistic; an attempt at high art drawn in crayons. I also strongly disliked Scarlett Johansson, not because of "whitewashing," but because her bland dead-eyed performance just plain sucked. I could name a dozen TV actresses who could have used this as a "big break" and done better.

Recycling a good deal of imagery from Mamoru Oshii's two renditions, and only occasionally looking tacky, here is a surprisingly splendid realization of this franchise's aesthetic. It seems quite international to me, though how much of that was damage control I cannot say. Nevertheless, a sound-if-not-subtle depiction of solipsist philosophies and techno-anxiety in a conglomerate-dystopia, though in the end it unfortunately renders down into a few trite truisms about "Our Humanity."

As the philosophical content goes, it is a shell of the original; but visually it satisfied me. I was not very convinced with Johansson casting honestly, but she did great and Kitano was a joy also. When the movie ended and they put the soundtrack of the original animation; it just brought back such strong emotions... I remember watching it the first time as 12 years old completely flabbergasted (it was way beyond its time) and in a way completely changing; so I appreciated that nod of respect.

Some plot details are a little thin, but the same could be said for the anime, or the majority of anime in general. Where this movie stands out is in presentation of a fully realized future, where holograms litter the streets, buildings loom for hundreds of stories, cybernetic augmentations of all shapes and sizes. Many sci-fi movies would like you to believe that the future is just a place where cars are shinier, but this movie does not, and that is something I can get behind.

Truly awful dialogue, sometimes laughably so. A little too serious, too sure of its own coolness. I saw it because of the marketing and having complete trust in Johanssen's career choices. In many ways it's like last year's Dr Strange - moments of trance-like visual and audio splendor, but otherwise shallow. This has more glaring structural issues - the use of Michael Pitt and understanding the stakes each step of the way. The ending treats it like typical superhero fare. Beat Kitano, tho

Actually pretty decent on its own merits, with good action and great looking effects. But the story is so thin compared to all the animated work in the canon. The central spiritual question of what makes a human ghost different from an advanced AI is completely absent here, and the story that plays out instead has been told a million times in other movies. A missed opportunity.

It is with a heavy heart that I must tell you GITS is problematic. It looks great,pretty much a daytime blade runner, but it's seriously dumbed down and they make a colossal racial clusterfuck given the calls of white washing. The only character that rings true is Batou and to some extent Aramaki. The rest of them don't get to do much. I don't get why you'd make this plot given the material you could mine instead.

We're presumably meant to be moved into pretentious musing over the loss of the protagonist's "humanity", but who can care when the first 2/3rds of the film withholds any details as to what was taken from her. This also hurts the fight scenes b/c there's nothing at stake when we know our blankly curious heroine can be rebuilt. We do start caring once we know exactly what she's lost, but it's too little too late. The overrated cityscapes are also basically just Blade Runner during the day

Ghost in the Shell tries to tell a story through visuals adopting iconic images from the anime rather than adapting them. The film is noisy, colourful (visually), dark (thematically) but never consistent. Any emotional stake in the film is lost somewhere between the acting (or casting) and the writing of the majority of characters. Kitano is great, and Johansson does well as major, but they are both let down by poor direction and an underdeveloped plot.

An attempt has been made to flesh out the bones of the anorexic, unfollowable plot of the original. Unfortunately, not much was done on the char's, so we jump from set piece to set piece, roughly following the plot trajectory of the original, adding nothing notably new. At least in the original, they realised the aesthetic was the only thing going for the film, so they essentially paused the plot to spend a few minutes appreciating the art design & score, which turned out to be a rare highlight.

An adequate homage, of sorts, and reimagining of the anime film from 1995, although for a fan of the original, one may make comparisons during key sequences and repeatedly find this rendition notably inferior. Still, with refreshingly impressive performances from supporting roles like Takeshi Kitano and Kaori Momoi, and decent stylization, I'm not mad I paid to see this. It has to be Cowboy Bebop next.

Is silly sometimes (like Scarlett Johanssons body language for example), but overall pretty cool, even though the ending was pretty anti-climactic.

The world building and design is interesting. I don't know enough about the source material to figure out if some of the clichés were simply from the manga and follow up, or from this one script.

In no way does this dumbed-down remake improve on the superlative 1995 anime original. That being said, it does look awesome. Sadly, the philosophical quandaries the original makes us ponder are only superficially present here. Most of the cast do well with what they're given. But Juliette, if you don't believe it, we won't either. I don't know what happened to Peter Fernandino (Cutter), though. He was cringe-worthy in this one. An ultimately superfluous and reductive remake of a classic.

It's a fair attempt at an adaptation, which is more than can be said for Sanders's film before. But it just falls short in too many places to really make its mark as a sci-fi great. If we were just there for the visuals, this film would be near-masterful, but that's not the case here.

Recreating scenes from the 1995 version wasn't necessary, using more the manga or series for inspiration would have been more fruitful.

Director Rupert Sanders' painstakingly rendered take on the tale is nothing if not aesthetically appealing. His vision of a futuristic Japan filled with flashing lights, dazzling colors and enormous holograms leaning out from every rooftop and building front is wow-worthy stuff. And the robotic CGI on screen is almost equally impressive.

I really felt I saw Robocop 5 well aware of the story source

Visually, it is a beautiful film. The story not so much. And, at least to me, the acting wasn't the best I have seen. If I consider this as as stand-alone movie, it was alright. But if I compare it to the Anime, then it was less than that.

omits the source material's intent for the sake of a more approachable, yet choppily edited, first experience. scarlett is as babe as ever, though i'm not sure she is the most adequate choice. the rest, including takeshi, never manage to go beyond perfunctory plot devices. visually it shines when it's directly copying the '95 anime, the inbetweens seem a bit off and uninspired. what i'm trying to say: it's not as bad as expected, but that still is far away from making it necessary.

Nice try... They needed to work more on the details.

The visuals/style, soundtrack and world building gare all awesome, so the only real criticism could be plot/character development, right? It doesn't astound in either of those but it does tell a story about identity and shitty corporations in a easily digestible way, so I have no problems. Sometimes the meaning or style of a movie overcomes character, sometimes that's the substance. No, it is not the original movie but it's still great and Jo was good.

They simplified the themes by complicating the plot. Instead of talk about whitewashing -- a complete non-sense, The Major wasn't clearly asian-looking also in the animes, and for a good reason -- people should complain about that and about making a female main character more "fragile" than it was. But still, it's a visually compelling cyberpunk movie that didn't get the ratings that it should deserve.

Much, much better than I was expecting. Visually impressive, very well acted, and does a surprisingly good job discussing heavy themes without getting bogged down.

The new Ghost in the Shell is an emotionally and intellectually vapid property whose only positives are things that are taken from the 1995 movie and have been done better in live-action before now. The story trajectory makes us feel like we're missing a fitting conclusion, the characters are either bland or almost nonexistent, and the entire thing feels like a waste of time. It has good special effects but can't even make its action entertaining. It's a shell of its former self.

While an interesting plot was certainly present, the film itself lacked a real compassion for any characters, and the editing was done in an overall amateur style.

Its not groundbreaking. The original anime is. ITs not like Avatar, Matrix, Terminator II its not bringing something breath taking. Its kinda base on original anime and all visuals and action is just looks like upgraded Minority Report or I-Robot and even these movies were far original and ground breaking for their Era. And Scarlett is definetly a misscast. Soundtracks are fine

terribly bad film. If it had had a Japanese lead actress though I'm sure that would have made all the difference - it would have been a sublime piece of art......oh, hold on - it would still have been rubbish.
