This movie is an insult to the original anime movie and manga. In manga, movie and even anime tv series were exploring whether an AI can have a soul and what does changing human body to cybernetic does to a soul… That’s why its called “Ghost in the Shell”, but this… Just some corrupt company does bad things as usual. They totally missed the whole point.
The move is so forgettable. Btw the movie takes place in Japan, right? And why it was so diverse, lol. In manga and anime Japan is still Japan even tho its far future cyberpunk. Its like they were trying t make a point there. I didnt mind Scarlet playing the lead as long it made sense. It was explained, but it was meh. And no, Scarlet was not nude in this movie, lol, it was pretty funny how they tried to made it look like. Well, I didnt expect her to shoot nude scenes, so its like whatever.
What they should have done is what “Edge of Tomorrow” did. It was loosely based on japanese light novel “All you need is kill” (it has manga too). They took central elements and made it like their own. Changed setting, changed characters to fit it and it all made sense. Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt were awesome in that movie. Thats how you adapt manga or anime. Only issue is it probably wont earn a lot of money.
