"We weep for a bird's cry, but not for a fish's blood. Blessed are those with a voice. If the dolls also had voices, they would have screamed, "I didn't want to become human"."

Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence is a breathtaking piece of anime, and could be the best anime movie ever made.

The animation is as close to perfect as it could possibly be, and the CGI is inco... read more

I really liked it, especially the beginning and the ending of the movie. I liked it better than the first, found it more interesting and entertaining overall, but I cannot rate this movie without taking into account the first one. While the first movie works out as a standalone work, one cannot understand and truly appreciate the second movie without watching the first one... first.

I already saw this movie but since it was a while back and since I had it on DVD, I was quite eager to check it out again. I have to admit it, I hoped they would manage to bring back somehow the Major since she is so emblematic to this franchise. Unfortunately, this time around, they focused on Batou who was maybe a pretty cool character but he was never as awesome as the Major was. Still, it was ... read more

Description: Batou is a living doll. His arms, his legs, his whole body are entirely artificial. What remains of his human past are traces of his brain, and memories of a woman named Motoko. In a time when the boundary between humans and machines has lost meaning, humans have forgotten they are humans. This is the story of an "orgy of ghosts" inside a lonesome man who is still striving to retain his humanity. Life is... innocence. Nine years after his hugely influential Ghost in the Shell burst onto the international film scene becoming one of the most successful anime films of all time, acclaimed writer/director ... (more)

My biggest disappointments in entertainment (142 tv items)

"The original Ghost in the Shell is my favourite anime movie. This sequel is nowhere near its level, the dialogue is the most pretentious I'd heard (well, read) in anime until now and the storyline is pretty weak. I was completely bored while watching this movie and the only thing I liked about it was its soundtrack. To this day I didn't find a bigger letdown. "
