لمحة عن هذا الفيلم

Scarlett Johansson stars in the visually stunning Ghost in the Shell, an action-packed adventure set in a future world where people are enhanced with technology. Believing she was rescued from near death, Major (Johansson) becomes the first of her kind: a human mind inside an artificial body designed to fight the war against cyber-crime. While investigating a dangerous criminal, Major makes a shocking discovery – the corporation that created her lied about her past life in order to control her. Unsure what to believe, Major will stop at nothing to unravel the mystery of her true identity and exact revenge against the corporation she was built to serve.

I have never watched the original anime so can't say if this is a worthy adaption. There were a lot of talks about whitewashing with Johansson being cast in the lead. Well, that worked for me as she was the reason I hired the movie. As far as a sci-fi goes, it is passable, visually stunning and reasonable action sequences but the pace is slow, certainly no edge of the seat stuff or surprises.

This is one of those movies that should not have been made. The writers show no understanding of the source material and this film comes across as nothing more than a juvenile fanboy's collection of "favourite bits from any movie I've seen" It's only redeming feature is Takeshi Kitano. I guess it will appeal to those who like all flash & action and no substance - it looks pretty and some of the actors do a fine job although Scarlett's acting shows that she didn't understand the source material either. A hollow, shallow movie without any reason to exist and a movie that will hopefully be consigned to oblivion to be forgotten forever.

Infuriatingly infantile adaption of the source material. I wasnt expecting much at all, and would've been OK with an action movie version of the original, which is something that could be made and still have a reasonable sized American audience. But this version didn't seem to understand the source material at all, and has none of the rich ambiguities that define the first movie. It shot for shot steals whole sequences from the original. I could go on, but it's just better avoided.
