Review of Ghost in the Shell

So glad they did the anime/manga justice and didn't just turn this into a mindless effects and action movie (though there is plenty of both). The philosophical quandaries remain and the stunning aesthetics serve to recreate the world around the Major. I loved the more in depth elaboration into the characters and events.

It was a downright pleasure seeing scenes so familiar to me come to literal life before me, and I actually greatly enjoyed the changes made. I just wish they would of marketed it the right way so it could have found it's audience. Even then, it would be a small one on account of the ludicrous and unfounded "white-washing" controversy. But, hey, I'm just glad I got to see this movie happen at all.
