It was a great fucking movie. Unless you're some manga/anime fan with autism or an asian supremacist, you have no reason not to like the movie.

It was a bit slow for my taste and that's coming from someone who watched the animes and read the manga. The action wasn't flashy enough in my opinion. If they kept the action/momentum of the first 15 minute (the geisha bot fight) going it would have been much better in my opinion.

The flaws I can think of is that they portrayed Major as too inconsistently weak. Like one little scrape in the beginning and she needs to go in for diagnostic and repair, which jars with her leaping up collapsing bridges and dodging tank fire later on. She should be able to take a sniper shot point blank and take moderate damage at most. She herself should be built like a fucking tank, which I think the movie failed to properly portray (they were constantly going for the vulnerable aspect).

Like that scene in the underground club where she's handcuffed to the pole. It would have been much more effective to show her simply snapping the cuffs, or better yet, punching the pole in half.

And there are a lot of tiny details which I didn't like, for example her movement. I don't think it felt robotic enough, for example when she's exiting the interrogation chamber. And that one scene where she's chasing the garbageman with the invisibility cloak, there's a shot of her standing on top of the building in the reflection of a puddle that the garbageman splashes through, it's a common movie trope. They should either have made her disappear from the reflection after it reformed (the cliche way) or just cut to a different shot, except the movie cuts back to her standing on the building and running awkwardly away. It reminded me of that scene in Scary Movie where the killer calls Sydney then is shown to run off to hide behind a tree.

It's way better than the cartoon. Much more realized visuals and the lack of teenage existentialist why am I here shit made it 100% better. Probably my only gripe is that michael pitt didn't have enough screen time

>takes place in japan
>literally everyone is japanese including the protagonist
>literally anything about her being white is just a theoretical possibility
>taking an asian out of a cyberpunk setting, which is what they look best in

It was not a disaster, a lot of cool stuff in it, but in the end as far as a movie plot goes it was kind of vapid. It didn't ask much from the audience.

It just kind of grazes on themes and ideas and then the movie ends and it doesn't want you still thinking about any of those things.

I will torrent it and rewatch it, probably.

Retard, it's a multikulti future Japan that's flooded with refugees and immigrants. Half of section 9 clearly looks white. The Major looked afghani in the original movie. Immigrants can take names of their host country to better assimilate.

It didn't even scratch the surface of what made the actual cartoons good. Even the makers of the film would probably disagree with your assessment.

It gets worse. All the outdoor aesthetics were Chinese style (specifically Hong Kong), all the road markers were Chinese in style, as were the public housing apartments and the cemetery but then for some reason everyone was Japanese. Like inside Motoko's flat it suddenly changed to a Japanese aesthetic.

I mean I understand why it turned out the way it did, and for people not familiar with Asian countries they wouldn't be able to tell the difference, but still.

So you think every reviewer who gave it a low score fell into one of those categories?

This is one of the most jarring 3d in the movie. For something as iconic they could've really spent more time rendering it.

>>84763535
It was utter shit.

First five minutes was literally.
>where am i

Just drop this shit

SEQUEL!

can you make a Webm of Motoko crying in her Asian mother's arms? And a webm of her kitty cat recognizing her?
