Review of Ghost in the Shell (2017) by Tony1984 — 12 Oct 2017
Hollywood's take on an Anime based on Manga. Dystopian fantasy Cyberpunk with a Blade Runner feel. It feels quite like Lucy, a previous Scarlett movie with similar themes. It’s very chaotic and not everything fits.
Some miscasting, ( Scarlett?). Weak dialogues, the great sin of mumbling in a multi-million dollar production, overwrought over complicated story arcs and lacking in anything especially original.The morality and philosophical nature of cybernetics is not well addressed either.
Too black and white. All that said, the Cyberpunk feel is excellent and we do get Scarlett in a spray suit. I’d re watch again.
