It's shit

Haven't seen it

>>81119804
If it was made by intelligent people who were actually trying, and actually cared, it still would only have had a small chance of living up to its source material. But instead it was made by hack frauds cashing in on a semi-recognizable property.
Now they're fucking with anime, what's next? A live action western Ninja Scrolls?

I would pay all the money to see this done well but fuck my life Hollywood would force Kagero as a love interest even though the MC turned down fucking her even if it meant saving his life.

It wasn't that bad. A decent popcorn flick that might get people who aren't necessarily interested in philosophical cyborgs to watch this and sequels.
There needs to be a Batou/ Togusa story around Innocence wince it's miles better than GitS anyway.

I agree that the movie is KINDA riding on her screen presence, but if they wanted a better lead actress, Ferguson would have been perfect in every way, and she would have looked better in the skin tight thermoptic suit

It's clear whoever made it cared a great deal about the source material. There are many nods to SAC, Second gig and Innocence.

But the reality is they were forced to make a Hollywood action film lasting 90 mins. There is really not much you can do with that.

It's a shame it's getting shit on, really.

Writing was weak and they made the ideas presented as easy-to-chew as possible for wider audiences, but from a visual standpoint it's beautiful, creative, and at the same time exists in awe of the original 95 movie and has a ton of respect for it. Lighting is great, and it was nice to see sci-fi fights that they actually bothered to hold the fucking camera still for.

It's not a 10/10 but nothing else looks like it and I think there's merit in that.

I saw it, it falls somewhere between "mediocre" and "okay".

It was basically just Robocop with the occasional visual throwback to the 1995 movie.

The plot twist is very amusing in light of the whitewashing controversy.

It was very pretty to look at, but like, that was it.

The script was shit, and the plot was somehow worse.

Also, what the fuck was with the literal NO BLOOD ANYWHERE

Even when obviously human characters were shot, no blood.

Yeah, they fucked up big time here. The environments in the 1995 film had a really clear thematic presence and purpose, and compositionally the city was used really often to create a contrast between the people and the environment around them. It looks like they pretty much threw that idea out the window in the new movie.

It looks cool and shit but that was the ugliest version of Japan i have ever seen in a movie.

Japanese cities are known to some as some of the most beautiful citys in the world and they dont need all that shit all over them.

EVERY FUCKING BUILDING had hooligrams on it.

Japan cities are already very condensed so i doubt they need even more junk to make the city seem even more compact than it already is.

I wonder if an actual Japanese residence would be okay if that was what the future of Japanese cities would look like.

I didn't like it, the dialogue was nothing but ham.

Some nice CGI backdrops, but inconsistent in quality.

Gimped by 13s rating. No bullet impact, it was like a tv movie where you would see the shot, hear the smoke, and then the guy would fall over. There's a part where Major shoots a guy, he falls on his back with a grenade, there's a close up of him. No bullet holes, no blood, nothing.

BEST REVIEW OF THE FILM COMING THROUGH

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FvaQmBeCzc
>>
>>81129762
The first Mortal Kombat is miles ahead better than PoP or Silent Hill.
>>
>>81129999

My complaint wasn't even that the characters were whitewashed you pleb fuck. It was just a subpar adaptation that defecated on everything good about the 1995 movie while casting a fatass to play someone she can't.
>>
Just came back from the theater.

I feel... Weird. First of all, the film is really pretty. They nail the 21st century cyberpunk aesthetic. Also the soundtrack is good. I usually hate trailers with serious and dour covers of old songs, but GitS trailer version of "Enjoy The Silence" is great.

But then we get to the bad parts. Acting was quite hit and miss in my opinion. The plot seemed like it tried to say something between the lines, but the in your face thoughts were clearly written by a committee. Also weird writing like how Kuze goes from luddite anarchist to singularity "kill all the meatbags" mode. Most offensive to me was when Major says in the end that "she knows who she is". Bull. Shit.

But why I feel weird? The recreations of old scenes. Part of me was giddy that they were made but another equal part of me groaned. One word that kept popping into my head throughout the film was "cosplay", 'cause that's what it felt like.

3/5 stars

>>81130208
It's been a while, but didn't the anime pull off the cyberpunk aesthetic through a washed out, bleak daylight look? From what I've seen of the adaptation it looks like they traded that for generic Bladerunner dark city bullshit.
>>

Why the fuck did they cast Johansson? I just don't get it, which idiot thought it'd be a good idea?
>>
>>81130297
I'm /pol/ as fuck and I can't stand racebending. It plays into the multiculturalist idea that all people are interchangeable and race is trivial (or doesn't exist at all). Asian roles for the Asians, white roles for whites, black roles for blacks, etc. Not to mention the entire plot reason behind her being white was to take a jab at whites. In other words they denied an Asian actress a perfectly good role solely to push an anti-white message. You're fucking retarded if you think liberals are the only ones complaining, even if they're complaining for all the wrong reasons.
>>
>>81130297
the people that hate it are liberals complaining about whitewashing and people that know the source material and expected this move to do more than scratching the sourface while raping 4 different plots together. The former can be disregarded because they are only searching for something to bitch at without caring about the franchise anyways. Like the PC vultures they are they'll jump onto the next opportunity to bash whitey when they get the chance.

There are plenty of scenes in daylight, but yes, it's different than the original. Eventhough the lighting is there, the slight haze is missing. I'd attribute it more to the time period than design choices.
>>
>>81130076
Spot on.
>>
>>81130296

It didn't follow the original's lead at all in term of environments, but the one thing that most people are willing to give this film is that it's cyberpunk cityscape was gorgeous, well executed and unique.

It turns out that trying to copy visceral animation like GitS gives you a dulled version if the same thing, and branching off and doing yor own shit actually has potential to turn out well.

I don't know, Moviebob's got some annoying things to say on Twitter and such but this is the first time I've been disappointed with his actual work in a long time (I think there was some cringy video he made for In Bob We Trust a month or two ago, and the last time before that would've been like a year ago)
he acts like the movie didn't indicate that what happened was wrong
he acts like having your memories stolen is not as bad as having your race stolen, rather than it being the other way around
he acts like they need to fucking state "this is wrong, this is fucked up", he acts like it's relevant even though it can't specifically happen
he acts like it's not ripe for metaphor and quite possibly *on his side*

>>81123715

It really does seem like there were two different movies going on--there were some almost beat for beat scenes from the movie and SAC, but then it's surrounded by this shitty OC donut steel story that makes the inclusion of the scenes all that much worse.

But, I'm not really sure if it was some dude who really liked the original movie and series who pushed hard to make the scenes into the movie, or just a board meeting who combed the anime for iconic scenes and then just shoved them in the movie around their shitty original script.

I'll give you that it's an enjoyable book and hugely influential, but it's so quaint at this point. You can't read it without laughing at how absurdly cyberpunk it is, it's like a parody of itself.

None of the questions it poses are explored better than in the things it influenced, especially the original GitS.

You're an idiot. Most anime characters you think are "white" are actually asian, and asian viewers view them as such.

They view themselves like that because they want to be white, has nothing to do with the fact that she is indeed white like most anime characters.

I'm about to see the movie later tonight. Can anyone who has seen it at least tell me if the spider tank scene was any good?

Don't really need to go into any detail about it other than if it was hype, cool, or well done.
>>
>>81130966
You view them as white because you're projecting into the work. Watch anime with actual canon Westerners in it, white people in anime are not presented the same as the rest of the characters. A good example is the K-On movie when they go to London.
>>
>>81131028
It's a mixed bag. They keep it relatively lowkey and don't go full Avengers trying to make it huge, which was good, and the tank itself looks good. But a few shots (you'll know them when you see them) have some badly blended CGI, and it's REALLY noticeable.
It's not every shot, not even most of them, but they're distracting and make me think they should have changed the scene more to accomodate for how they couldn't really capture the scene in live action.

The rest of the action is pretty great though.

No, you kill yourself if you think you think that a live action ADAPTATION should pander your shitty headcanon. Show me a line in the anime/manga or the author that says that major is asian.

It's obvious you know absolutely nothing about anime. The fact that there is little skin color difference between whties and asians only further proves my point. You are misinterpreting most anime characters as white when the asians who create them say they are asian and give them asian names. Westerners in anime are almost always portrayed with blonde hair and big noses. Black, blue, brown, and even most red, pink, and green-haired characters are almost always asian. Compare something like Berserk or Fullmetal Alchemist to something that has a Japanese setting, the difference is immediately apparent. Especially FMA since there are people from the equivalent of Asia in it and they look nothing like the white people. I'm sorry, but Motoko Kusanagi is not white, and neither are most anime protagonists in general.

Scarjo couldn't even bother to get somewhat fit for this role, instead they desperately gave her a big rubber condom to keep her body fat from hanging out.

Most manga artists base their characters' faces on caucasians since asian faces can't show emotions to save their lives.

Besides, you base your argument on how other mangas do characters but you had still have failed to show me the part where it says that major was asian. Until someone proofs it, it's just pure speculation to one way or another.

The trailers were bad, I'll give you that, but given that they also used dubstep in those trailers and there was nothing of the sort in the movie (the music was actually pretty good for being original), give it the benefit of the doubt.

Scarlett does a good job, there's actually very few full-on fights and they're pretty quick so even if you hate the choreography it's whatever, and yes the plot is essentially the same as the original but with a few twists to trip up old fans.

since it's supposed to be based on SAC and i've only watched some episodes of SAC ... is SAC really that bad / did they really screw up everything GITS is about or is it just the movie ?
>>
>>81132796
>since it's supposed to be based on SAC

It's not. They use a SAC villain, but he's pretty much merged together with Puppetmaster to make a new villain that's Kuze in name only.

SAC is kino though.

The movie is also good.
>>
>>81132796
Where did you hear that it's supposed to be based on SAC?

And I loved SAC, it's one of my favorite anime ever, the movie just sucked.
>>
>>81132841
>>81132847
ok, i thought so because of kuze. so the movie is just a fucked up merge of everything while dropping everything that GITS is about ?
>>
>>81132971
Not really. It's pretty much all adapted from the original, they just threw in Kuze to change things up for the ending. The movie is fine dude, if you really want to know then just go see it. It's not high art but it's still got some soul in there. They kept the scene where she hires a prostitute just to touch her face, they wouldn't have kept that if they just wanted to make an action movie.
They also probably would have had more than three action scenes if they just wanted to make an action movie.
>>

Because "we're not our memories, we're what we do!" is pretty much exactly the opposite of "one of the dangers of transhumanism is that people can fuck with your memories and then you're not you"

It changed something, yeah, but that doesn't automatically make it artistically inferior. Look at the argument presented by the movie and decide if it made it well, don't just go "it's not what the original said so it's worse."

I'll also say it's possible that the movie presented something incorrect on purpose. Considering "memories don't define you" was a line fed to major by someone attempting to keep her memories hidden, it's entirely possible that they'll make a sequel or some shit that completely contradicts that.

In other words what the character says =/= what the movie is saying.

>- takeshi kitano

One thing they never really make clear in the original...can the Major reproduce?

I never said anything about quality, though I will say it's much less challenging to the audience.

My point was that it's a slap in the face; it takes the stance that it can only take by saying "the original story was wrong, and I know better."

I don't for a second think that was the intent, I think the bubblegum shit was written by neckties to appeal to wide demographics and forced into the film, but that's the result we got.

I swear to God, if I ever meet ScarJo in real life I will punch her in her stupid fucking mouth.

Movie was way better than I expected overall (granted, my expectations were in the dumpster), but ScarJo was even worse than I expected. Easily the best looking action movie of the decade, it was visually stunning. Was way too on the nose with the plot and thematization for Ghost in the Shell, but I never expected much depth from a Hollywood adaptation.

>>81133713
I don't understand your question? In the movie the major can't reproduce because the only thing that's left from her body are some parts of her brain. The puppetmaster can't either, he says something along the lines of him only being able to produce exact copies of his code, offering no individuality and being prone to getting wiped out by a single virus.

So they fuse together, the puppetmaster offering the reproduction part, the ability to somehow create AI offspring, the major the human/ghost part necessary for individuality and genetic/code diversity that allows them to have "real children" instead of exact copies of the parents.

There's a shitload of practical effects and sets in the movies. There's more practical going on in that scene than you think. The water is at the very least real, and major's suit is real although definitely touched up with CG. Backgrounds are physical stuff with CG on top of them.

>>81133954
She's only capable of three different emotional states: monotone, sarcastic and yelling.

You know when I first saw GitS I didn't think it was that realistic that an advanced combat cyborg body would be designed with erect nipples. Then I remembered that it's set in Japan.
>>
>>81129862
cause they had a chance to give the role to an Asian American Actress, that is the reason. I can see why Asian Americans would be upset but I dont think this movie is made for the US, totally a movie that is going to be carried by Japan/China so our feelings on it are moot.
>>
>>81134278
Did you read the manga or watch SAC? There's actually background for that.
The major has a state of the art military prosthetic body that looks like a rather common civillian model because it allows her to blend in with the normal population.

That's mostly what I was talking about. The background being CG mix is understandable. The suit looks bad in that still, and it's because of the CG

>>At its core, "Ghost in the Shell" is about AI and what makes a person human and not a machine. Did that affect your view of technology?

>Part of what we're trying to say in this film is that humanity at some stage is gonna be absorbed more and more in technology. The important thing is that we figure out a way that humanity is needed by technology rather than the other way around. I think technology will evolve beyond us and [when that happens], what's the need for us? We're greedy, we're wasteful, we are destroying the environment that they would need to survive.

because cyber sex is just as good and you can use the space for something else i assume? Also it's probably rather hard to build artificial genitals.

What did I think since I just got back home from it? WALL OF TEXT INCOMING. Well usually I can give movies a number rating out of 10. This one I can't. Its a competent movie, well made, and I could see what they were TRYING to do. The FX did a really great job of melding CGI with the abundant of practical FX that were in the movie. The actors as I saw it did a fairly good job of being who they are in the anime(s), though slighlt changes, such as Togusa being completely human, which isn't correct since he has mild brain augment. Though they "fixed" that with the thing around his neck and a ear piece.

The Movie also had some real nice ascetics as well, various scenes really showing this environment we are being taken into. Such as the geisha part or even just the camera flying around the city showing us the various ads. Which Asian cities have a lot of.

They also did a fairly alright job of combining sections and/or stories from the different sources of manga / movie / tv series. But alas this is also where it kind falls short. See while the actors, especially the jew woman, knew and understood the character, she tried to change motoko a little too much. This is also true with the script, since if you think on it, it has a simular vibe as the movie Silent Hill. Where they cram as much in as they can, and add that lovely (sarcasm) fan service into the movies. Though while some of those were amusing, many I found took me out of the movie. Such as the Garbage truck scene. It was extremely Jarring and wasn't needed in the type of film they were trying to make. Moments like that, hindered the movie, even if I understood the WHY in it.

The Camera work was well done as well. giving use time to see what was going on, and not have those shit cuts constantly. The ones we see in soooo many of today's North American films. Usually they're used in action to hide the shit acting and choreography. Part 1

The more I hear about the movies story, the less I want to see it. It seems like they ignore all the philosophical themes of the original movie in favour of some origin/lost memories/revenge plot, but they don't seem to even get that right.
>>
>>81135424
no idea, was that ever planned? Hopefully it died
>>
>>81135457
Forgot to add, they literally white washed a character. Kidnap some Asian and turn her into a white robot. I wasn't paying attention to the "im motoko" part, but was she adopted or was she actually asian?

Yeah it had a 2017 release date listed shortly after the PR1 release. Maybe a $$ issue.

Oh found it..it has a new name..never a good sign.

She was a gook. You see her when Major gets her memory back. There is a scene with Edgelord trying to grab her hand in the memory of the swat raid on the squat.
>>
>>81135492
they did exactly that. And that's the movies main problem
>>
Better than I thought it'd be.

Got tired of the city shots though. I used to wish that Bladerunner included more of those. Now I know why they didn't.
>>
>>81135677
I knew it. They really did turn an asian person into a white person.

Wish they expanded more on section 9, but thats the problem with adapting a franchise like ghost in the shell into a movie and hope to fit everything inside.
>>
>>81135524
oh, i thought you meant for fans

Don't even bother watching this shit movie if you have watched the animu. I can't even name on thing which stood out maybe the geishas and how they pulled the man back but this scene is already in the trailers.
The atmosphere is completely different from the animu where's in the animu you get a cold cyberpunk feeling and in the movie there's a clusterfuck of holograms and feels more "lively" and not dark/daunting.
Went in with low expectations but the movie managed to shit the bed even more than I thought.

Can't agree with the knock on the visuals.

There was some weak CG but from a compositional standpoint it was incredible.

Part 2
This movie really let you take in what was going on even if it was small and minute. Example of this was when Batu was going to feed some dogs. As Motoko and Batu are walking down this ally, the camera is in front of them you can see what is happening behind them, and this person gets up to a door and starts knocking on the door as Major and Batu are chatting away, You can also see little environment things as well. This sets things up to make the world feel very alive, which I have found in movies doesn't really happen that often.

I find if they had Not focused so much on who the major was, and just let the audience find out by showing us, instead of telling us. it would have been better. Which goes with How the movie was fairly dumb down. Honestly I really think that is what hinders the film the most. Since the dumbing down of the material to appeal to a wider audience cripples the movie. It also cripples some of the cinematography. Here is why, there would be scene were information in the original animated ghost in the shell. That would be extremely heavy with information. After those scenes we would be granted stunning visuals for 1-2 mins, those were done on purpose, to give us the audience time to think / reflect on what we had just scene or heard. In this live action, this happens as well, but not in the same way it should. Since the information is so dumb down, the shots after, of the city or an ally way with people walking. Go against the film and really just a buffer to extend the film time.
>>
>>81130826
Feels more like they firstly picked the most icing scenes and then tried to find a way to tie them together in a different plot simpler and more straight forward than the original one, ending up butchering everything.
>>
>>81135485

This is all accurate.

The movie is completely dumbed down for Americans. They made a massive mistake revealing The Major's past.

Part 3

Over all, its a competent film with well intentions, just some are poorly executed and as such hinders the film. Is it worth the standard price of admission? No. Is it worth to see on cheap night? Yes. But go in knowing that it has some issues.

Those that say this movie is this buzz phrase "white wash" are fucking retards. since the anime has Japanese names, but many characters look white. In the end who cares what a character looks like or their sex, or gender. Long as the character is well written it shouldn't really matter. Example is Ripley. Originally suppose to be a man. Last minute the actor was changed to a woman. FUCK YOU PCucks

>>81135645

Bladerunner was fantastic and did something that defined Cyberpunk for years to come.

GitS has an entirely different and unique look that--while I don't expect it to be nearly as influential--is a great expansion on what Bladerunner did and will be iconic of this movie whenever it's discussed.

The script was bungled but Sanders clearly has a talent for distinctive visuals, which also showed itself in Huntsman's costumes.

I don't think he should keep directing movies but I'd like to see him take some smaller capacity as a visual director or something.

>>81135739

They went with a much more modern view of cyberpunk which includes ads in your face 24/7 and I really don't think it's overhyping it to say they made something iconic. Even the most shit reviews of this movie have good things to say about the visuals.

The slopes actually loved her casting. It is non-nip perpetually outraged western homovan faggots that are mad.
>>
>>81136063
True that. Which is really unfortunate. Because with what she was given, she played Motoko really well. Also wasn't afraid to Nude up.
>>
>>81135967
i dislike how they changed the characters. Togusa is not the problem, he and the rest of section 9 barely got any screentime to begin with. Batous past as marine was important, him going full cyborg after getting wounded on the battlefield. The major is weak as fuck. There is like one example where she is completly vulnerable and dependent on outside intervention in the entire source material. Here she gets tased and kidnapped three times. Has problems in a fistfight with some random guy in a bar. It's a joke how weak she is.

The move barley touches any of the ethics/philosophy questions that made the source material stick out. And it botchers their plots together into something linear and boring.

The whitewashing problem is non existant and only retarded SJWs talk about it.
>>
>>81136063
>>81136127

I know I'm supposed to hate Scarjo because she's a meme actress but I liked her portrayal of the major, at least in terms of body acting.

Except the scene where she woke the doctor up, that felt a little too hammed up.
>>
>tfw film descends into a video game boss battle
>all the original planning, stealth and wits used in the original scene are lost.

Seriously watch the original scene. The live action fucked it up so badly. The score to this movie was atrocious.

>>81136035
I can respect that but the atmospheric feeling I got from watching the original harmonised better with the story. Also I personally missed the soundtrack where they showed the city.

>>81136192
The problem is that the scene was TOO similar. They couldn't pull off the same vibe or visuals, there was no way, but they did it anyway. I liked the movie but considering they changed a good amount of the story and characters, they really should have done the spider tank fight differently just so that it wouldn't have to compare so much to the original. The music was fine though, I don't know what you're talking about.
>>
>>81136228

Like a person uncomfortable in their mechanical body, yes.
>>
I enjoyed it, although I think I would have enjoyed a new GitS anime film more. Batou and Aramaki were great, and they did some things really well, but here is my list of criticisms:
ScarJo looks good as Major except she is not lean enough
Why no tilt rotor Osprey? Instead they used an airplane with a giant propeller on top.
The overhead city shots look like Hong Kong with excessive hologram billboards
The spider tank could have been better.
I thought Togusa should be more slim and young looking
Where is Pazu,and Ishikawa? instead we get a girl with a thick British accent
>>
She's not human. She cannot have kids.
>>
>>81136437
>The overhead city shots look like Hong Kong with excessive hologram billboards

It was literally Hong Kong
>>
>>81136182
I agree, That is why I said the movie was dumb down. Those scene were major is tasered was to show she is vulnerable still and also not used to the body. To be honest it could have been better done instead of that scene.
>>
>>81136385
How long had she had the body anyway? Didn't the mom character say Motoko was pronounced dead about a year ago? I felt the timeline wasn't clear at all.
>>
>>81134388
MAD MAX: FURY ROAD came out in the last decade you idiot
>>
>>81136629
After she's built there's a "ONE YEAR LATER" and the movie seems to take place over the course of just a few days or maybe a couple weeks.
>>
>>81136704
Shit movie for dumb redditors.
>>
>>81136753
Hmm, I see. But then, why was Motoko's room like a kid's room, wasn't it? With bright colours and some dolls on the shelf, if I saw correctly.

And how did she get to be a special agent in a year's time? Even in Arise it is noted that she has a special affinity with cyborg bodies, something which obviously doesn't apply to this movie.
>>
>>81136385
That goes against her entire character. One of her defining traits is that she is good at being a cyborg.
>>
>>81136816
>I only watch sophisticated action packed movies like John Wick

I loved Dredd but it wasn't the best action film
>>
>>81137018
because she's been one since she was six. And that shouldn't have been changed. She's the glue that holds section 9 together, precisely because she's exceptional.
