I don't really understand everybody's problems with this film. I thought it was a lot of fun, even as an avid GitS fan.
The whole thing felt very "American Ghost in the Shell". But, honestly, I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing, and, hopefully, it might even encourage new people to look into the series. I hear complaints about the script, the acting, the music, and even the scenery. Sure, none of it was perfect, but for an American-made live action adaptation of a Japanese anime, I'd say they did a pretty good job at both honoring the source material and doing their own thing.
The film certainly doesn't match the original film on every point, but I don't think it was trying to. It was a simple, more to the point story, but it was a neat ride nonetheless, and I'd gladly watch it again. It was a fun and very comfy good time.
Honest to God, not shilling here, but I just want to generate some positive commentary after reading Kotaku's pessimistic, pseudo-intellectual reaction. Everyone's allowed to have their own opinion, but, seriously fuck Kotaku.
Also, Batou was fucking spot on and Kitano was super fun as always.

I completely agree with you OP. Watched it in Imax yesterday and absolutely adored it and I am also a fan of the original.

Oh and "Never send rabbits to hunt down a fox"

I haven't seen it yet.
From your opinion, if the source material never existed, how would you rate it?

Beat Takashii badass as always.
If they make a sequel I hope they develop the Major and Batou relationship rather than the beta he is in the series and films.

I feel like there will be a sequel and that they will do what you're saying.
Did you notice that the movie was pretty much paid for by Chinese companies? The movie will make money there and a sequel will exist.

It always pissed me off at how beta Batou was in the franchise.

If it never existed? Probably the same, but for different reasons.
Solid 4/5

Say what you want, man. I'm just trying to give an honest opinion. I feel like a lot of critics have their heads really far up their ass, and are expecting too much from films today.
I feel the same way about GiTS that I do about Power Rangers. I thought it was good and represented the source material well. What more would you want from it?

It was bretty gud, but the best part of the series (what does it mean to be human/concious/exist was largely passed over)
