Why do people pretend this is bad? It's not even the worst version of Ghost in the Shell.

Literally the only movie ever where being completely naked is central to the plot
main actress refuses nudity
Michael Pitt is great
I hate it for two simple reasons: GITS is one of my all time favorite anime and a live action movie was completely unnecessary. That, and ScarJo made a terrible Motoko. Motoko is supposed to be a cyborg super soldier and ScarJo could barely hold up a prop gun without her arm shaking.
All that said, I shouldn't really hate it since there were a lot of good throwbacks to GITS. References to the first movie, SAC S1, SAC S2, etc. And it actually flowed somewhat well between the different references, which surprised me.
Now, THAT said, I thought it was fucking retarded that they actually made her name Major. I assume it's because the retarded audience would go "who the fuck is Motoko?" when they called her that instead of Major. Understandable from a movie-making standpoint, but I still thought it was retarded.
This was the last A-list blockbuster I ever remember not being totally blackpilled over even before seeing it. I was collecting the single issue GitS issues Dark Horse published back in the mid 90's. Been a huge fan of Shirow forever. Certainly Hollywood couldn't fuck this up too badly, could they? Could they?
Omg they fucked it up so hard.
Meh.
battle angel alita is both the superior cyberpunk manga and the superior live action adaptation
crazy to think scarlet would be a bad casting but she chose to film this during pregnancy or something
it was ok
Kuze was the best performance of the whole movie. His performance was the third best part of the movie behind the prop/set guys and the costume crew.
there's no way a movie can be good when your lead gets mogged this hard in her own hero suit by some propnerd's wife
lol come on now, the movie has its problems, but scarjo was hot
Stop.
I fully & unironically prefer it to the anime. I never gave a shit about the anime but I watched them both, 7 this is jsut better to me.
did they just paste a jpeg of her face on that cgi body?
fucking abomination
but scarjo was hot
meh she was kinda washed up at this point, lets be real. she looks good for a milf but she's not what someone is choosing for sexbot
It's not even the worst version of Ghost in the Shell
Yes it is. You are a hollywood shill.
You really can't see how terrible this girl is gonna look in the face by the time she's 40+, can you? So many of you nerds have no eye when it comes to women, you just settle for "somewhat cute" & don't even realize that in most cases they're gonna look like Haggy McHaggard in about 10-20 years, which is a real issue if you're married to one.
Just picture this girl with 10 more years, a soccer mom haircut & about 50 more lbs. That's what you're stuck fuckin
Have a perfectly legit reason for the MC to get nekkid
refuse to use it
Not gonna watch it. simple as.
but scarjo was hot
not in this movie
idk but shes lost a lot of her attractiveness over the last 10 years or so, cant even tell you why (maybe bad plastic surgery?)
kind of in the same boat but i think the movie was about as good as it could have been and very true to the originals style and tone. scarjo was awful, just the worst, her weird autistic terminator mannerisms didn't work at all.
I despise that they changed the story from an AI growing sentience and spreading then wanting to merge with her to create a new lifeform instead into le "we were kidnapped, brainwiped and forced into cyborg slavery boohoo" crap
She's in her 40s now, & lost all her youthful baby fat. Same thing happened to Charlize.
What's good is of they completely dump any aspect of their former "sex symbol" lives & go full bore into gritty "Furiosa" roles, they can continue to do okay.
She was preggo in this and Age of Ultron anon, that's why she has that weird posture in every scene. They used CGI to edit out her belly in both movies and tons of stunts, in AoU she's always sitting, behind something or simply the camera never shows her below the shoulders
Because netflix gits wasn't there in 2017 zoomie
based 90's anime enjoyer
the motor cycle they made for this movie looks cool
I watched the original Ghost in the Shell the other day
I didn't remember how heavy-handed the movie was with the exposition of its themes. Might just be the Seinfeld Effect but I came close to rolling my eyes a few times
The animation is still on another level
if you could only watch one anime in your life, it should be ghost in the shell

the aesthetic was good and II didnt hate it, but changing the majors back story was stupid, It just stinks of some writer who wanted to feel more important than they are by changing some major plot point in a famous IP for no other reason than vanity. It didnt add anything to the story in any way, it was just lame
that scene makes me think of neuromancer, i wonder how that show will turn out.
the book was decent, i didn't really like the jumps in the narration that sometimes happened.
she's pure hag and not hot anon
no, it should be this one
Lots of homosexuals posting tonight ive noticed, saying scarjo wasnt hot for instance
scarjo was hot
She was a twice-divorced single mother already though.
They just didn't like that it wasn't the original. Decent movie, actually. Though, it was clear they gutted a more interesting story during editing.
Blonde Bimbo: the Brand
short and curvy
Miscast. Rooney Mara was the right genre/physical choice coming off of the British Girl with the Dragon Tattoo adaptation.
Agreed. And changing the Puppet Master's back story. Not a spontaneously created AI soul, but just some dude they kidnapped and he wants revenge? Boring.
in AoU she's always sitting, behind something or simply the camera never shows her below the shoulders
This is why it's better not to have women sign a contract for your cinematic universe since they can fuck it all up by getting pregnant and are immune from criticism for doing so.
At least we got that backshot with a hint of sideboob, if I recall correctly.
yeah it's too bad the battle angel alita live action movie is only half of a complete plot.
Yeah I guess it was always going to happen but it's hard when you're going up against one of the best anime films of all time and also one of the best seasons of anime of all time (SAC SEASON 1).
i watched it having never seen any other ghost in the shell movie or series or whatever
thought it was pretty good
Hnnggg
Your opinion is worth less than dogshit so no one cares
Pretty sympathetic bad guy. They stole his memories, his body & his sexy Japanese gf
She was hot a long time ago.
I thought she looked good in Lucy though.
Its really forgettable but I agree the visuals are underrated.
