Scarlett Johansson is a good actress and has a pretty face but she does not have the physique to credibly play a part like this.....she needs to do some workouts.
Interesting concept initially but the movie failed to deliver on the…

Worst sci-fi movie I have seen. Made for a 10-year old kid. Chinese CGA overpowers the film. Story is predictable. It’s a waste of electricity to watch.

Again Scarlett Johansen was great but I didn't know what to think when I first started watching this movie but I still thought it was good, scary and good.

My roommate found the movie confusing and was not that impressed (6 out of ten)
However i was pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed the movie. Characters were good!!

Very different in storyline from the original anime movie, but I think the changes made were for the better. The anime movie and series were random police work, and Major just takes orders without questioning them. In this movie, she…

I think this movie was visually excellent, with a compelling plot and a solid cast. Scarlett Johansen is great in action roles, and Juliet Binoche and Pilou Asbaek were very good in their roles.
Criticism was heaped on the film before…

I owned the original anime DVD of this title and I watched it once and that was enough. Years later I thought it would be fun to see this live action version. I loved it! This has incredible special effects, and a tangible storyline which…

Have watched this film more times than any other film, and it never gets old (by that benchmark, it's my favorite film of all time). Got a chance to see the original anime film, and it is the only anime film I've ever enjoyed, but this…
Clearly not appreciated by the fans here in Austin, nonetheless, I found the experience interesting and entertaining. I do not follow manga; and I do not know Scarlett Johansson. So, the movie had no special contexts for me. I took it on…

What can you say clearly they hire Scarlett Johansson for name recognition not acting because she had about as good acting ability as Keanu Reeves in the Matrix. The white washing of this film is so hilarious when Hollywood is one big SJW…

So I've seen both Ghost in the Shell (2017) and Ghost in the Shell (1995), and I honestly think you cannot compare these two movies. The older one is an animated take on the concept of singularity and what it means to be human, and the…

"Overall, this movie is boring. It’s really boring. It has some cool stuff going on, but not enough that really keep someone’s attention. Not all of the acting is bad, most notably Juliette Binoche, and some of the visuals are really cool.…

Such a confused story. effects for the sake of effects. Scarlett Johannsen has played so many artificial people/extraterrestrials/robots, it is getting tiresome. Juliette Binoche seems lost in the proceedings.

It pays homage to the original with its music, lots of the scenes and same type characters. I personally love the way it was done. They did a good job with effects and it was dazzling! It also had a OK plot twist too. I think people…

Scarlett went a bit overboard with the deadpan delivery. Hard to blame her since there was little in the way of inspiring dialogue (for any of the characters).
Interesting "Dark Secret" type plot but still a few marks south of the snooze…

I have not see the earlier animated movies and tv versions (1995 - 2015), based on the 1989 manga comic, written by Shirow Masamune, 'Mobile Armored Riot Police: Ghost in the Shell.'
I did like this film as an interesting topic of cyborg…

It hard to see this comparing it to original. It seem like often 1:1 copy but with lower quality. It could of been better on it own. Nothing extraordinary but good. Original has better pace, better editing and looks better in making sense…

Instructive, as in "how to make bad decisions, then get disastrous results" - that is (relative to some comments here), THAT is what the dialog is for. We extend hope, we give up, we extend hope again... then... SPOILER ALERT: not the…

I enjoyed this one. I can see why it took two years to make it due to the special effects in the story.The main character makes some statements close to the end of the film about "the ghost in the shell"that I take as a christian to be…
