Review of Ghost in the Shell (2017) by Eludiumq36 — 07 Jul 2017

Look, this is obviously a polarizing love/hate type of film. I know the animated film and series well and though this effort doesn't match them, it's decent enough. The cinematics could carry the film alone, they're great.

The storyline was intriguing but I'm with the crowd that has issues with the casting. Scarlett was WAY wrong for the role but they needed a marquee name to bring her followers. There were also some editing choices that I question but that's a little too much in the weeds.

I don't rate this as a waste. It was decent enough and wouldn't mind it anchoring a series of them.
