Review of Ghost in the Shell (2017) by Forsaken87 — 16 Apr 2017
Really good adaptation of the source material, staying very close regarding plot and visiuals. For everyone who has seen the anime I highly recommend this, but even for "regular viewers" this should be great if you are a bit into sci-fi. Even if the story was steamlined a bit, for a hollywood production it's still way more complex and interesting than what I am used to. Only real downside is that a handful of scenes could have used a few more takes or a little less CGI filters, but really nothing dramatic that would ruin the movie.
Overall I'm on the fence between 8 and 9, but for the trolling, "whitewashed" and other 0 votes (that this movie definitly doesn't deserve) I'm going for the higher one.
PS + Mini-Spoiler: It's a fully artifical body, who cares about what ethnic it looks like. The brain is from a japanese girl, as explicitly told by the story, so that discussion is just stupid.
