Doesn't it seem like the whitewashing thing killed this potentially awesome franchise? This being the first one it made sense to make it personal and a little Hollywood-ish. But in the second and third ones they could have definitely strayed into weirder territory and kept the grounding they established in the first film. I don't know who anybody is trying to fool when they think that the film would have done any better with an Asian as the lead, instead of Scarlett. I'm really not sure if I would have even seen it if Scarlett wasn't in it. Point is, when I saw this movie on Tuesday, the box office was at 40 mil and standing to lose nearly 70 mil and now it's standing at nearly 75 mil 3 days later. Nobody is reporting on foreign box office numbers for a reason. The only reason Resident Evil movies keep being made is because of their foreign market draw. Domestic does not matter when it comes to those movies and it hopefully won't matter when it comes to this. Still doubtful it'll get any sequel. They were banking on Marvel money with their Black Widow there.

Well this was my idea for a sequel:

>It will be a live adaptation of Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence
>Set 40 or so years after events of first movie where Major has mysteriously vanished into the cyber system and Batou has spent so much time trying to find her
>Batou is played by Ron Perlman
>Major appears at the end in new body form played by a Japanese actress

If they did this, it would be the greatest sequel ever made.

They can do flashbacks and get Pilou Asbæk back for those. Even some flashbacks with Scarjo, but ending it with Major's return as she is played by a Japanese actress and setting it 40 years after events of first movie therefore showing Batou to be a lot older and getting Ron Perlman for the role would be really cool.

Also, the filmmakers would have a lot of fun with re-creating Kim hacking Togusa's mind and all the hallucination sequences (for those not familiar with the story, it is very Matrix like).

Someone please try to contact Rupert Sanders or Paramount to make this happen!

>>81390354
It's all SJW and politics which is why we are getting articles panning this movie.

Resident Evil's last few haven't done well in West but it did well in foreign places like you said so is why it keeps getting sequels; yet 3 days after Ghost in the Shell was released, the critics were already calling it a movie that was a bomb despite it making $40 internationally.

The box office hasn't been so well this weekend but I hated how the critics just called this a bomb when it did well internationally when it first came out.

I am not in America and I saw the movie on opening day where I live

>>81390354
Being Hollywood ish is why it sucks. They should have gone full on matrix level balls and totally committed. They paid homage but a lot of it was gold wrapped in filth which made the whole thing stink. It couldn't escape the studio's hands.

That's why a producer said that they try to not just please the fans but also bring in a big American audience.

Do people actually think this movie would have done better if they got an unknown Asian actress as the lead that no one has heard of before?

i hope it does well overseas. it was a really good movie. it really was shut down by haters and shills shilling other stuff. reminds me of pacific rim and warcraft- for a month straight people were talking shit on good movies nonstop.

>>81390750
We saw Scarjo's side tits when she was undressing, otherwise the movie didn't need full on nudity. The movie did however need more action and violence

There were blood squirts that got cut out during some of the action scenes so hopefully we get these back in an unrated edition

>>81390786
holy shit, are you fucking serious?

do you think rupert sanders will have the balls to stand up to paramount and release a decent cut of this movie? does he even give a fuck?

Whitewashing didn't kill it being a shit movie killed it.

>>81390786
>>81390789
Looks like Scarjo enters this place and is transformed into the monk monastery, or that the monks see her enter the monastery but of course they aren't in any monastery but just in the underground place Kuze has set up.

Maybe Kuze wanted to give these people peace and put them in some simulation together? idk

Sure would have been interesting to see the full screen

Rupert seemed very dedicated with all the behind the scenes, filming most of the shelling sequence practical etc.

I am sure he is on the case with Paramound to release an extended cut (especially since the movie didn't rate well so you'd think the company would want to release another edition hoping that does better).

I hate when people blame Rupert because believe me he actually put forward so much great stuff for this movie that no other director would have bothered to do.

>>81390900
Exactly.

A shame the test screen audience didn't like this and just wanted Major's origin plot to be the only main plot

>>81390865
>you think any of the marvel movies have a more competent plot laid out?

They're based on COMIC BOOKS nobody gives a shit about the plot. Gits 1995 was lauded as being more mature and cerebral, an influential piece of cinema back in the day.

>>81389619

It is hateful propaganda to know such things

>>81390956
GitS 1995's plot is about a mind hacker who infiltrates people's minds and asks Major to join him so they can become strong together and infiltrate the cyber system. That's the plot. idk why people seem to always think the 1995 movie has the deepest plot ever

Actually GitS borrows heavily from Blade Runner and The Matrix borrows heavily from both. You can go back father than that if you want.

GitS is a masterpiece for sure, coming out at a time when The Lion King was dominating theaters. But Blade Runner is untouchable.

>>81390940
yeah, as i said it is decent for a first movie in a hollywood Marvellish franchise as it really HAS to be dumbed down and made personal origins bullshit if you expect anybody to go to a theater to see it. or else you end up with ex machina indie movies. but the franchise territory is ripe for weirdness and philosophy and they could have had a lot of fun with that. especially with the advent of Westworld in the cultural consciousness now.

The original ending to this apparently has Major and Kuze join minds so that Kuze will be forever with Major.

WHY DID THEY CHANGE THIS?

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>81391011
>But Blade Runner is untouchable.
Only the original cut that doesn't have the horrible driving at end scene and the Deckard is a replicant plot

I was actually really enamored with Kuze's character. Doesn't help that I've always liked Michael 'Carmen' Pitt as he's known all of a sudden lol.

Judging by the behind the scenes, Pitt was very into the character as well, taking the role very seriously

I know deep down there was more philosophical Kuze bits that were cut out. Watching the movie, there definitely felt moments were chunks were cut out

>Major makes a remark to Batou about the cyber connected system that Kuze has made
>This is never brought up again
I wanted more of the hacking plot. They did mention the garbageman's mind being hacked but then they didn't go into detail about other people who have been hacked by Kuze (hence everyone sitting around in the circle that was never brought up again because the movie only cared about Major getting revenge at that point)

>>81391089
wtf is blackwashing

>>81391030
Very odd, Kuze in the 2017 movie was originally the Puppet Master, and that one wasn't a human but an artificial intelligence copied in a body.

I wish they hadn't cut off the dialogue about the human traits and things the cyborgised people do to be more human. All in all a solid adaptation.

Yeah, people will say what they will about him but I think he's a very solid performer. I think he's probably a bitch to work with, as in I think he's probably no-nonsense on set. The stories I've heard about Boardwalk Empire season 2 and how they had to write him out, and that short but sweet stint on Hannibal as Mason Verger points to something too. But he puts out consistently good performances regardless of the budget. He gets way too into stuff, which is rare to see.

It was alright overall. Pretty good movie. But the dumbing down, added cheese, and kind of shitting on the core theme of the franchise made me upset.

At the end she says something like "it's being human that really matters" or some such shit. Maybe someone else remembers it better. But in the original she says...

"What if a cyber brain could possibly generate its own ghost; create a soul all by itself? And if it did, just what would be the importance of being human then?"

A huge theme of the franchise is that consciousness takes precedence over "humanity", and that clinging to our old forms and resisting change is pointless and unwise.

In the ScarJo version I didn't feel that at all.

Also, the asshole CEO guy was a hundred times lamer of a villain than Puppetmaster.

Somehow it reminds me of PR and Warcraft too in a way it's treated. Average to good movies with some brilliance to it, murdered by American critics, but popular and liked in the foreign markets. We'll see what happens with China, opening weekend lasts 5 days and earnings already increased by fifth in one day, which is promising.

I saw it today and it's not bad, but not amazing either. Props to the art style. I just hate to see the "fuck white people" crowd sink a decent movie.

I agree. Loved all the references and they really handled the source material well.

I really liked what they did with the origin story and have no problem with it at all.

This movie is so much better than the MCU, DCEU and it sucks to see it rated so bad :(

I SO WANT a sequel with this cast back

Try telling that to my blue pilled girlfriend who I had to convince to see this movie.

Why are all critics against Scarjo now? I thought they loved her.

Doing a google search, there has only been one site that has bothered to do an update on China's release with this movie (that being Forbes).

REALLY? No one else has bothered to give us the statistics?

>>81394183
I'm gonna be honest. I'm sick of slomo action scenes to sell the idea of superspeed. I get that it's derived from the whole 10,000 frames/s super high speed cameras shit. But it really only works when the character is moving so fast he can literally shake a bottle of soda, then gulp it down in mid-air as it's erupting. If the character is only marginally faster than human (hard cap of maybe 4 times?), they should instead show everyone else moving at regular speed while the speedster abuses them.

Posting this here since I didn't really get the answer I wanted in /a/:
>the answer I got was that Japan doesn't know how to write
Can anyone explain why in the original anime movie where in the beginning the Major shot up the diplomat instead of the actual programmer? Both of them had diplomatic protection but the programmer felt like he should have been the one to shoot at since he was the one with all the secrets and wasn't a foreigner. The diplomat getting assassinated should have been a massive international incident but it looks like Section 9 got away with it? How? It felt like she just straight up murdered the dude for no reason, and there were all those body guard witnesses. The guy was no threat, only the programmer was. They could have just taken all of them into custody and worry about the details later but they ended up in an even bigger mess politically. Or am I missing something?
Plus the fact it didn't turn into a shootout the moment the bodyguards fired felt like a miracle. You'd think the police would have immediately returned fire and/or use that as an excuse to take everyone into custody.

>>81394954
>the answer I got was that Japan doesn't know how to write

That's true. Their character are always the blandest, or most clichés ridden pieces of shit ever.
The ending makes no sense (that part after she wakes up).
The movie asks a lot of philosophical questions but doesn't even try to awnser them.
They don't know how to make good dialogue, so they have their character stare at the screen spouting a non sensical dialogue about what it is to be human.

She is a Major. Somehow. She gets sent to Section 9 straight away though.

She says her name when she gets plugged into things and that she consents to open her firewall or something (though its later revealed that the robotics company don't actually need her consent to get past it).
She's called Mira Killian, then she's called Major Mira Killian, then she's just called Major

REALISM is what is killing the Bond franchise. Bond is a FANTASY character and the best Bond movie not actually a Bond flick is Captain America. Just give Cap a cigarette, a drink and the desire to crush cunt and that would have been the ideal Bond movie and you all know it!!!FACT!!!

Not him, but there's no way mass media can "kill" a subculture that is already extremely niche. You're fooling yourself if you think otherwise. In a way, these watered down adaptations only increase the access barrier and reinforce the need for people who do know better.

The movie just looked so bland to me. But it seems like I was the only one who had problems with the lighting. Just compare it to something like this. It looks so lifeless. The interactions between the characters felt bland too. I didn't feel anything between Batou and the Major. The rest of the Section 9 was forgettable. Kitano just seemed bored and annoyed.

>its YET ANOTHER "/tv/ pretends they would NEVER sleep with X actress" rerun

You niggers are sad. You continue to delude yourselves into believing that you have the luxury of turning away a woman while also somehow convincing yourselves that your fantasy-based capacity to turn down anything with tits that talks to you somehow makes you sophisticated or whatever the fuck.

Meanwhile, every last single one of you thirsty bitches would carve out your own prostate with a sharpened teaspoon just to look at a Betamax recording that shows nothing but the used tampon from the period that came before Scarlet Johannson's mother conceived her.

Why do you do to yourselves? All you succeed in doing is inflicting greater loneliness and suffering upon yourselves every time your pyramid of delusions collapses in on itself for even the briefest of moments.

One of these days its going to end up driving you to an hero. And maybe thats your best option because what youre doing right now clearly doesnt work.

>>81398876
SW is science fantasy which is why it did well in Japan. It's either the best grossing movie in Japan the year it releases or somewhere in the top 3.

Blade runner didn't do well.

Maggie Gyllenhaal is literally melting in camera and she would likely kill herself before fucking a single poster from /tv/ for even 5 seconds of reliving her "prime".

What argument are you trying to make? Scarlet is way past her prime who gives a shit anymore?

This may not be fully correct but looking at deleted clips and what some have been saying about them, here is a compilation video explaining what one of the deleted scenes may have been like

>>81395831

Those "girls" have strong jaws!

will there be a director's cut of this movie?

>>81400364
I'm hoping. I read somewhere that the original cut had a much better feel to it akin to the original anime. Like, philosophical elements and the origin story was just put into the background.
If I remember correctly, they said that the audience didn't quite get the grasp of everything and from there they pushed it into the "Generic origin revenge" story.
I'm hopeful that we get a directors cut and the deleted scenes are added as extras so someone could splice them together to make it as good as it should have been.
