Todd B 09/18/2024 This was a good movie with Scarlett. Thanks for the live action version of this movie. A good add, and take on the role. See more DCI B @DCI_Benway 10h Casting is horrible across the entire cast, acting is horrible, writing/plot (what differs from the original) is horrible and even the haircuts are horrible. Scarlett Johansson delivers all her dialog in the most dead, uninteresting drone imaginable only made worse by that horrible wig. The Kuze character is 100% snooze along with his plotline. Are they TRYING to put us all to sleep? Dr. Ouelet is miscast, Aramaki is miscast and the Director character is paper-thin with zero backstory "I want her as a weapon" is all you're gonna get for set up, then BAM, she's out in the street as a weapon. This is all in contrast to the 100% excellence of the visuals, special effects and directing. Sure, it checks all the boxes from the original, but strung together with terrible plot, dialog and acting. I'd cut this up into the iconic scenes that honor the original and leave the rest on the cutting room floor, not because the new material is different, but because it's BAD.

Yes, compared to the original anime, it loses some of the philosophical depth and deeper ideas, which is a fair criticism. But judging it as its own live-action adaptation, I think it does a lot right. The neon-soaked world, VFX, cinematography, and atmosphere are genuinely beautiful and immersive. The story may be more conventional than the original, but I found the experience engaging and visually stunning from start to finish.

Loved the little details in this sci fi movie like the 3D traffic markings etc. Relatively interesting story. The script is a little cheesy but it kind of embraces the cheesy goodness. See more Aiden B @aidenb002 Jul 27 This movie is amazing. Is it as good as the original manga or anime? No. But this film has spectacular visuals and the storytelling is super intriguing and exciting. The themes of identity, self-discovery and revenge are portrayed nicely. Highly recommend.
