Review of Ghost in the Shell (2017) by Etienne P — 08 Oct 2017
For a futuristic concept movie this looks dated despite stunning FX. The concept of everywhere looking like Hong Kong on steroids was last fashionable in the 80s.
There is precious little of the William Gibson vibe considering the Cyber themes. In fact, take out the Hoopla visuals and you have a so-so Anti-Terrorist plot.
Scarlett puts in a fair effort at acting all discombobulated but at times it was like the Black Widow had done some intense carbo loading!
Plus points were the faithful transitions from the Manga, esp Beat Takeshi as the enigmatic Boss. Wakarimas?
