Ghost in the Shell (2017)

Being a huge fan of the original and also the later series, I went to see this film just as brand loyalty.

I had ZERO hopes or expectations and just like last year’s ROBO –Cop remake, I was not expecting much from this film…
STILL this film managed to disappoint me…

This film is the classic example of everything is there, but something is missing.

Unlike i-Robot, the excellent will smith future sci-fi drama, this totally lacks in establishing its ROBOTS Vs Humans dichotomy.

Unlike the Matrix this film fails in the, what is going to happen next scenario.

This film has a LOT going for it, the cinematography is excellent, the CGI is rather good, the sets are awesome, the acting is fine, the music is ok, but nothing works together.

The film falls FLAT on its face and the lack of a good director is rather obvious.

Also this film is miscast with Scarlett Johansson. She doesn’t sell her character at all, an Asian actress who is less famous might have been the bolder but better choice.

I honestly cannot recommend this film to any anime or sci-fi fans, not even for the locales and tonality. I was bored STIFF throughout the film, the bits of action were lacking, the drama was missing the tension was lacking.
Its as if hollywood was forgotten how to make great sci-fi drama and can only play by the book!

Rating : 5/10 . Skip for the DVD or HD Release. Not worth the theater experience!
