Surprisingly I liked the movie. The visuals are BEAUTIFUL. They did put a few scenes from the original anime that I recognized including the original theme song at the beginning and end the movie. I know there are mix reactions toward this film about the controversial whitewashing cast. In my opinion.......I didn't care, believe it or not. Scarlett Johansson did a decent job playing as the Major. I do have a few nitpicks from the movie. As a fan of Ghost in the Shell I enjoyed it and I understood the plot because I know the source material. If you go in the theatre that's not a fan or you don't know about Ghost in the Shell it might make you feel like you're re-watching Robocop, Blade Runner, and The Matrix because of the similar affects, and you might be confused. Overall I give it a 6/10 which is still a good score.
