This is the 2008 re-release of the 1995 movie Ghost in the Shell. It follows the "Puppet Master" story line from the manga series. This version has had some George Lucas styled changes made, with CGI used to update/replace some of the hand drawn animation. It also has updated audio. Skip 2.0 and watch the original version instead.

As someone who started with Stand Alone Complex, I felt that the Puppetmaster storyline was a lot less fleshed out in comparison, but that does not make the film at all bad. The film relies very heavily on showing the mechanics of the world, with the investigation scenes secondary to that end. I would have given it a lower rating had I watched it first, because stand alone it isn't satisfying, but viewed as a complement to the TV series, it can be very satisfying.

Did Steven Spielberg buy the rights to this or something? Why anyone would think splicing generically made CGI cuts into a hand drawn work of art would make it better is beyond my compression. 2.0 more like FAIL.0 The original is a work of art. This trash is a perversion of the best anime of all time. Maybe if they would have redone the entire movie and not just a handful of the scenes it might have stood on its own.
