Review of Ghost in the Shell (2017) by J O — 04 Apr 2017
People are a little too quick to talk about this movie's flaws. It definitely has flaws and is not as good as either the original anime films or TV series, but it does an excellent job of building the world that Ghost in the Shell is so known for.
ScarJo does a fine job portraying the Major, even if she does take some getting used to. There are definitely a few parts that felt rushed, a few moments that make you question the decisions of the director, but overall it is a good movie with an interesting if not completely original plot.
If nothing else it is a great set up for a sequel which I very much hope gets made. I'm sure a second one would be better and more loyal to the original stories now that Major's "origin" story is taken care of.
