Salt-and-Limes: I am writing this review as someone who hasn't seen the original anime. I have also been very critical of the whitewashing of this film. With that I aside, I went to see it with willingness to give it the benefit of the doubt. "Ghost in the Shell" is well…a beautiful shell.
The visuals were ab…
Wanderless: I've watched Ghost in the Shell at the cinema 3 days ago, knowing
beforehand about the controversies that have surrounded this movie for
the last 6 months or so. Science fiction movies are probably my

Gimly: I know I wasn't supposed to love it but I accidentally did.
_Final rating:★★★½ – I strongly recommend you make the time._

The trailer didn't show much, which is good. I …

I have never read the original Manga. Whether that is good or bad with respect to the movie I do not know.
The good stuff a…
Reno: **Too late to come out to impress its fans!**
It was not my most anticipated film of the year. Like usual for any film, I just wanted to see it and enjoy it. The film was fine, but that does not mean so good. From the visuals to the performances, it sounded great. But the story wasn't. When the o…
