Review of Ghost in the Shell (2017) by Marthy G — 11 Aug 2017

We have watched the original Ghost in the Shell animated movie and the sequel Innocence. We personally believe that the actors in this movie did an excellent job portraying their characters, and the negative reception of Scarlet for the role of Motoko is over exaggerated.

In the storyline she is originally of Japanese decent, but her body is completely remade and altered in appearance so that she would not recognize her past self. We believe that the spin that Sanders, Herman, and Moss took on word of GItS was fresh and intriguing.

It was not perfect by any means, and some of the characters were a little disappointing, but overall it was nowhere near the 45% rating that currently hangs over it on here. If you are a fan of the series and you're wondering if you should see this movie, we'd say go ahead and enjoy it.

If you've never watched or read any of the other interpretations of this fandom, it's definitely a neat Sci-Fi movie to sink your teeth into. We'd say that it might be harder to follow if you haven't seen the animated original film, but some of the plot differs anyways, and they did a decent job explaining an elaborate world in just over an hour and a half.
