This movie has a lot of criticism surrounding the acting choices, while ignoring the actual movie itself. I wouldn't trust a lot of Rotten Tomatoes ratings, as a slew of people rated it a low score without ever touching the movie. As a stand-alone movie, it's not bad. I wouldn't say it was withou...

A visually impressive addition to the Ghost in the Shell franchise, this entry--while telling a new story--keeps very true to the themes that underlie all of the Ghost in the Shell incarnations. I grant that some of my enjoyment of the movie is probably nostalgic, but I loved that they took pain... Read More »

Find many memorable quotes in IMDb already, these two in particular:
You are more than just a weapon. You have a soul... a ghost. When we see our uniqueness as a virtue, only then will we find peace.

We cling to memories as if they define us, but... they really don't. What we do is what defines us.

Add a CommentIt's hard not to compare with the original film and I struggle with the decisions for casting in this film as a result I only gave this film three stars.
I enjoyed this one. I can see why it took two years to make it due to the special effects in the story.The main character makes some statements close to the end of the film about "the ghost in the shell"that I take as a christian to be about the soul.
Total garbage don't waste your time!
I liked it.
Not Good !!! Comic books are great this one is a bore >> Scarlet Johansen is boring people !!!!!!
Visually stunning, mentally void -bursts of action between long boring scenes of dialogue, minimal plot.
Too long, too slow, and the CGI was too often really terrible - plus, why are almost all of the lead characters Caucasian when the story is set in Japan???
I thought there would be more to it.
Acting was fine. Bit slow in some parts. Fighting scenes were cool.
The final bit was almost like a lame boss battle though
I enjoyed it but admit its depth is PG-13 like "Star Wars". It's a tame sequel to "Blade Runner" (1982 original), "under the skin", "terminator series". It substitutes visual concrete context for disturbing abstract depth
Thin plot line, very dark visually, flat and boring.
