The Ghost in the Shell remake is just plain bad. Not terrible-- just painfully uncreative. If they wanted an American cast they should have gone all the way and re-located the story to America, because the whole thing has an inherent sheen of silliness over it-- Japan is one of the most homogenized countries in the world (by choice), and yet there are hardly any Asian people in the movie. And the one Japanese character, Aramaki, is basically reduced to a monotonous joke. Why does he only speak in Japanese and with subtitles? How are the other characters talking to him? Are the other characters talking in Japanese too, but for some reason Aramaki's "audience translator" is broken? Did Japan switch their language to English and Aramki insists on speaking Japanese out of stubbornness, and everyone else is bilingual, understands him but refuses to play along? It makes no sense.

The biggest offense to me though was that they basically just took the action setpieces and iconic scenes from the original and wrote a generic hollywood origin story around them. It's a new story, but the action scenes are all lifted from the original movie. I don't understand what they were thinking with this. If their goal was to do a franchise with the puppet master happening in a future movie, there are no action scenes left for them to adapt from the original movie.

Maybe if I didn't already know the original movie I would have liked it better and just seen this as an average sci-fi action movie, but that raises the question: who was this movie made for? If you're a fan you'll feel alienated watching it, and if you're new it does nothing to convince you what all the fuss is about.

It's just a bad remake all the way through. It does not capture the magic and intrigue of the original, and everything new it brings to the table is just generic Hollywood cliches at best and nonsensical asspulling at worst. Plenty of sci-fi movies that have done far more with far less.

I thought they tried giving "Mira" a different motivation from the original scene's,look at the spider-tank & the car case compared to the 95 version

More like this. If you're going to spend $50,000 on a camera you might as well spend more than $3,000 on a lens that at least has the ability to open up to T1.9.

However most of that shit is probably rented though but still

Why is this movie suddenly a "classic gem" that we all missed?

Is it because Egoraptor said it was his favorite movie despite it have critically panned ?
