It's a Total disappointment. They just changed her personality from previous movies, making her more like in the live action movie (wich I loved) but she is not what they have been giving us in the animated movies. Besides that, the writing is lazy, boring and animation is not great.

I am stick to the 2009 animated movie until they give us something better.

Did you watched Splash (1984)?. Same story here but with a boring and darker tone instead of the comic and enjoyable performance of Tom Hanks.

Seriously... best film of the year!!!, WTF?

I give it 9 because I was amazed on how they translate the source material not destroying it but improving it. I was prepared for a flop but not for enjoy the movie, which it was a very pleasant feeling.

First of all I am not a guy of comics or Mangas, my thing is about movies, so my point of view is only between this adaptation and the Japanese anime movie, which I love and it is the main source they used for the film.

The film takes about 70% from the original anime movie and the other 30% is an upgrade over the original source. An upgrade?..yes an upgrade. As I said before, I love the Anime version but it is a little heavy to watch for most viewers because it gets messy and boring, that's what this new version is not, it is more common viewer friendly and less philosophical type of fan.

Yes, the movie keeps the questioning about humanity and soul (or Ghost), and all those things that makes Ghost in the Shell, well... Ghost in the Shell, but also takes us for a much more fun ride, easy to understand and easy to enjoy, than the original movie did.

Hardcore Fans would say the movie is too much light or even empty but I think that it is a great adaptation, they took a great animated movie and make it into a great live action movie.
