I love this movie so much

Must See Movie...

Don't Believe the Hype

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Though this sequel prequel is better than the first sequel, Ghost In The Shell - Innocence, it still doesn't match up to the original, Ghost In The Shell.What the screenwriters John Burgmeier, Clint Bickham, and Tow Ubukata, give the audience is the story of Major Motoko Kusanagi and her perfect machine of paid mercenaries. I like the idea that she sees her team as a well-oiled machine, each person represents a working part of the machine and every part (man) is required to make her perfect machine. Since she is a cyborg, I could quite easily see her making this simile. It's the story of how they were recruited into Section 9.The story is stronger than the last as the Disney influence is no longer there and the philosophical issues are once again interwoven throughout the story, which helps to give it strength and carry the viewer along. However, there are not as many twists in the tale.Also, the CGI is used to much better ability, as it's mixed in with the traditional animation style to help build better effects and ambiance. I particularly liked the scene near the beginning where a child is running through a flowery archway... The flowers are so bright and vivid it's very dreamlike.There is so much right with this animation that I cannot pick any faults, except it's just not as hard-hitting as the original... or as stylised.If you've watched the original then I'd say forget watching Innocence and opt to watch this one instead. It's soo much better and has a similar taste, tone, and mood to the first. These two together what a treat, not just for the eyes but for the mind also.

In the year 2027, a year following the end of the non-nuclear World War IV, a bomb has gone off in Newport City, killing a major arms dealer who may have ties with the mysterious 501 Organization. Public Security official Daisuke Aramaki hires full-body cyber prosthesis user and hacker extraordinaire, Motoko Kusanagi, to investigate. If you're new on this kind of stuff there's a 99% chance that you might hate this film but if you give it time and try to get inside the meaning of it you might actually enjoy it. Ghost in the Shell: The New Movie is not exactly a masterpiece for sure and it does have it's flaws mostly with the story that it does get confusing as some other reviewers said but the overall animation, characters and action was quite enjoyable and for a newcomer as me in this Franchise i found the movie to be very good and i had fun with it but even tho with it's story problems it does deliver on what it was meant to be from the start. (9/10)

If you don't know the Story and have never watched an animated film like this one: Stay away, don't watch it. It may spoil your wish to watch any other Anime film. If you have seen the Original Ghost in the Shell (Part 1 or 2 or both) you may be disappointed for the lack of story and a whole bunch of scenes that are just the same only with different characters (same drawing style, same camera, same lines).If you know the Arise Border Quadrilogie, watching it is even worse. It looks like they just copied the animation and added some new lines and a crude story to it. For me it looks like some people just wanted to make some quick money, without putting any effort on it.The drawings are simple and the character animation is very poor.So don't put an effort in watching it.

I gave the movie 5/10 because I was even confused by the rating system.I watched the movie with my friends and popcorn. We didn't even run out of popcorn because of our effort to comprehend. In the end we were so confused that we watched Pewdiepie and everyone liked it.Plot: All of us agreed that the prime minister died. Then things got very weird. I strongly believe that the OBC was right to get in a war with EDF for gaining control over the FGT. Everyone agreed, so then we did the YMCA.I am also confused about the cyborgs. Can they have sex with each other? Not clear. Can they have babies? Not clear. Do they have cyber-penises? Not clear. The main character looked kinda cute, yet I am not sure if our relationship is serious, since my mother doesn't approve Japanese people - they freak her out.Btw all Japanese people looked like Americans. I find this culturally offensive - most anime are euro-centric and anti-feminist. Still, I like them a lot.
