Sup Forums told me this was shit to mediocre at best?
Are you fucking kidding me?? This has to be some of THE BEST visual kino I have seen in YEARS. Similar to Bladerunner if not better! Ghost in the Shell was fucking awesome and I enjoyed the fuck out of it. Kudos to the filmmakers of this.
Sorry for all the lame asses who never liked it, you clearly need simpler and more dulled down plot lines to understand and enjoy. Spiderman Homecoming anyone
What did Sup Forums ACTUALLY think of the film?? Ghost in The Shell was good whether Scarlett Johanssen was asian or not it was fucking KINO!
>visual kino means lots of pretty colors and flashing lights
Oliver Turner
It was butthurt anime virgins from Sup Forums and Sup Forums trashing it on this board, and sci-fi hating critics trashing it on review aggregates. It's an 8/10 for me only because of the trite twist at the end, but I think that the casting, visuals and closeness to the source material were the best of any anime adaptation so far. You're not alone.

I liked it.

Why do redditors hate kino and other memes and terminology that came from this board and actively try to get rid of it?

your opinion is wrong

Watched it high. Did all the side characters have weird accents on purpose? It was quite disturbing how some of the lines were delivered.

The movie was only good when the plot suddenly changed into the original animated movie 2/3 of the way in. The only good supporting characters were Batou and Aramaki. This movie will forgotten just as Dredd did.

Go back Sup Forums, and no more Evangelion threads while you're at it.

It may have the skeleton of the anime it doesn't have its body or soul. In an era of remake it's a bit annoying/insulting to see people making easy money on confirmed past success. I was already sceptical when they announced it, knowing how special and unique the anime was and I wasn't surprised by the result. Yeah of course nowadays you have the best special effects to add to but certain things are best left as it is. So in that way I can understand that it received negative reviews, from what you are saying, but if you were only looking for entertainment and wow factor it was probably great.
Tyler Brooks

>it's the best visual kino
Anyone that says that is not referring exclusively to Dziga Vertov's theory should be shot. It's a brilliant mark of not knowing what you're talking about.
Alexander Perry
Being a fan of the original film, I thought it was pretty middle of the road. Every time the original film was referenced visually, all it did was remind me how much better it was handled in the anime. I wish they had just taken the source material in name and vague concept only, and branched out into their own thing.
ScarJo's performance was a little uneven imo. Sometime she'd be this stiff robotic type, then a huge emotion out of nowhere. I would have been fine with either, not both.
Visuals were nice though. CGI was used well, even if there was an excess of it. I liked the score. Supporting cast was solid, though how they talked juliette binoche into this I have no idea.
6/10. Glad I didn't pay for it.
James Walker
I thought the visuals were definitely the strongest aspect, and as a cyberpunk film it did the aesthetic justice. But to say that it looked better than Bladerunner is legitimately retarded, and if you truly think it is better I am sorry.
Ethan Hughes
Script was shit. Visuals were great. Scarlett is beautiful.
Michael Morales
The set and Scarjo were the best parts

The banal existentialism in the 3D version was only one step removed from the anime, it's a good adaptation, get over it.

Ryder Reyes
It's great, removing the 15 year old tier why am I here questions is definitely an improvement. I liked how major didn't go on a philosophical wankery tangent every 5 seconds. The visuals are amazing, the other characters are great especially Batou, Aramaki and Togusa. The soundtrack is alright albeit a bit generic. Better than the weeb garbage
Tyler Ward
VISUAL KINO
Oliver Martinez
It wasn't as bad as everyone made it out to be. I feel like the re-arranged stuff for no good reason. Though it really hit some of the visual marks of the anime. I feel like if this move had came out 10 years ago it would have be a big hit. But it's not much we haven't seen before in other movies. Michael Pitt was a bit of an on-the-nose choice for Kuze. And Scarjo stomping around autistically wasn't necessary. The guy playing Batou kept changing his accent.
Alexander Rodriguez
It was enjoyable, but not perfect. I saw how they borrowed things from the first movie and 2nd season of tv series.
I also never saw robocop before, so that may be why I didn't feel it was derivative when I was watching it.
Colton Rogers
The first movie was a first year philosophy student's homework assignment stretched into 1+ hours. It had no characterization, just visuals and pop philosophy.
Anime Sup Forums autists are truly insane. Innocence was even worse with this pretentious quote dumping shallow philosophical masturbation.
At least the live action made sure you liked Batou and the Major and even made the villian sympathetic.
It's like you want them to retread the tired question of "what makes man man?" which other movies have already done over and over again. This isn't the 90s yet you seem to want to be transported back to that period via this movie.
I saw a 4 foot 5 man, with baldness on top, and long unkempt wild hair at the sides. He was scowling and was muttering after the credits rolled, no doubt disappointed that 20 years of anime fandom and series obsession led to an accessible movie that is enjoyable.
That's you.
Christian Martinez
Damn this thread is a fucking turd.
Jason Adams
no it's not
it's kino
Justin Fisher
Because people don't even use kino ironically anymore. The people using it all the time are the redditors that never know what kino truly meant.
Cameron Foster
Shut the fuck up Reddit. Kino isn't going away.
Michael Hill
It was actually really enjoyable.

You can clearly tell when it's a stunt double because they stuffed Scarlett into a skin tight suit

Sup Forums memes are a cancer upon this site as a whole, and it makes me physically nauseous to think any of you would take pride in them.
Dominic Price
Best anime adaption we've ever gotten
Blake Carter
unironically agree.
visuals are on a league of its own. that director should get more blockbusters, instead of that retards doing disney/marvel bullshit with direct-to-video aesthetic.
Chase Baker
the anime movie was pure shit, so I bet this was better and triggered the anime nerds desu. When's it going to be on TV?
Christopher Foster
kino comes from neuromancer, or german scheizer movies
Nathaniel Lopez
FUCKING MAKE FUTURE ROBO GIRL COP MOVIE THEN, FUCK MOVIE ADAPTIONS
this is the most cringe part of the whole ordeal. "it was meant for you anime fans !"
it's embarrassing enough being dragged to the same shit hole as the animu retards because you happen to watch a couple of animated kinos but now hollywood is trying to make a target group out of you. and by you I mean me. The anime scene disgust me -almost- as much as it disgusts Hideaki anno.
Michael Clark
I'm glad they got based Batou right.
Parker Watson

Gavin Sullivan
? He's one of the greatest filmmakers of all time, the closest to the futurist art movement in film, innovated and set the grounds for modern documentary filmmaking and purely visual political commetary through montage. Kino was purely the sense of pure cinema through recollocated footage to convey new meanings, no actors and barely humans, as if the mere camera was doing the film through pure recording, thus being pure truth. It's sort of naive nowadays, but the stuff was revolutionary. His Kino Pravda series, Kino Glaz and Man with a Movie Camera are required viewings to understand film.
Here's a book of his collected writings, including manifesto and all:

>whether Scarlett Johanssen was asian or not Reminder that major is not Asian.
Gabriel Adams
You both just have shit taste m8
Justin Collins
I enjoyed it too desu.
Also, you should note that 90% of the people trashing it are anime faggots who can't form any sort of critique of the movie without referencing the original anime.
People need to realise that an adaptation is just a fucking adaptation. It doesn't need to be exactly like the original works just to be worthy of praise. It should be judged on its own technical strengths and weaknesses.
Jace Rogers
DUDE HOLOGRAPHIC BILLBOARDS LMAO
Hunter James
sure it looks good but everything else falls kind of flat and It's got nothing on the 1996 film
Alexander Barnes
I've had dumps better than this shit thread. I can't wait until the kids go back to school.
Christian Hill
To be fair, the film is from a poser that just canibalised points and images from original series, so a thorough understanding and comparisons with the 1995 and in a lesser way SAC is necessary to judge it. That's the main issue commented with the film.
Justin Wright
Its one of the better anime adaptions out there, calm down retard
Robert Perry
I think the plot was too simple tbqh it dumb down the anime plot and got the laughing-man to be a retard instead of a really awesome sophisticated AI. Also the movie did not explore the concept of the soul like the anime films and the series have done.
Jordan Taylor
>got the laughing-man to be a retard instead of a really awesome sophisticated AI. Have you even watched the series?
Ayden Rogers
But it's also portrayed on a completely different visual medium and is clearly aimed at a different audience (well broader) to that of the original anime.
A common criticism is that it didn't explore themes related to "creating life", AI and the morality of merging technology with humans as deeply as the anime did.
However, anyone who watched the movie properly would be well aware that it was far more concerned with the origin story of Major and how that tied in to the ethics of human experimentation for the advancement of technology.
Both are valid themes in the context of Ghost in the Shell but those who were expecting the former were clearly going to be disappointed with the direction the movie took.
Visually - yes, several shots were lifted from the anime, however in terms of technical execution you could hardly say they were handled poorly. The CGI in this film is probably some of the best I've seen in modern cinema and anyone who was expecting more is being unrealistic.
Oliver Reyes
yes, technically he is not an AI but a dude that went into the nett and his body is a corps by the time section 9 found him trapped into a sexbot.
Samuel Wood
people who trashed the film were just butthurt weebs I thought it was pretty good
Evan Gutierrez
Good movie. Bad thread.
Grayson Powell
>technically he is not an AI but a dude that went into the nett and his body is a corps by the time section 9 found him trapped into a sexbot. But that wasn't what happened in SAC at all. It was a non-coordinated ammount of hackers, enterprise collussion and fanatics based on an individual act of political activism against a particular corporation.
Ryan Martin
>This has to be some of THE BEST visual kino I have seen in YEARS
Lucas Fisher
oh shit, I was thinking of the Puppet Master but I was sure it was the laughingman. It's been a long time since I saw them.
Michael Reed
it was pretty good. the movie got trashed by butthurt weebs and jewish cultural marxist reviewers inventing controversy because a (((white))) person played the major and used that as an excuse to give it low scores.
this movie deserved to be fresh. 46% is a joke. KONG SKULL ISLAND somehow has 76% and is certified fresh. ghost in the shell is miles better than it and most of these super hero movies that keep scoring 70+.
fuck the jews reviewing movies. RLM didnt even review it either. i think they would have liked it.
Jace Perez
Puppet Master was in fact an IA developed for international spionage, yes. The corpse in a sexbot must be from another thing entirely lol (the nearest thing is the man inside the mind labyrinth of Innocence, the millionaire or the clonation from a revolutionary in SAC).
Ryan Gutierrez
Hahaha.
Andrew Cook
It's fucking trash. All these apologists ITT are delusional. >t. old anime and kino connoisseur
Daniel Williams
But man, the jews are after the adaptations of shit I haven't seen!
Wyatt Richardson
It's like the oldboy remake some stuff is done a lot better, but its clear lots of other shit got cut for the sake of an under 2 hour runtime
Xavier Myers
Preach it. I went to watch this movie with bad expectations because of all the shit people gave to it and I was pleasantly surprised with what I got. I also enjoyed the movie very much and feel sorry for all the bullshit and lackluster box office it got.
Noah Baker
>Not realizing this was a shit posting bait topic from the first use of the kino meme. KEK
You got baited faggot.
Brandon Wilson
everyone's seen the 1995 movie and SAC you retarded weeb it's one of the most normie animes ever
Hudson Adams
Yeah, from what I see in the thread, a normie anime is beyond Sup Forums lol
Juan Richardson
Quote the profound deep lines on existentialism from the 1995 movie.
Austin Garcia
When you act on set generally you want to keep the same frame of mind and be in the moment. She looks concentrated and focused on the scene she's about to do, not drunk
Charles Turner
She looks like she's had a few drinks.
John Clark
Kong was awful I really don't know what people loved so much. Some of Samuel L's worse acting.
Kayden Foster
Sup Forums memes are reddit-tier and you're likely the biggest faggot on this site for unironically wanting more of that shit.
Sebastian Torres
The source material is the comics. Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex is that. The anime movie is its own classic. I don't know what this was supposed to be. It didn't meet my expectations with the previous movies or anime tv shows. You can't mish mash everything from 20 years ago. It starts to lose everything and they didn't add much that was new. This was watered down.
David Baker
Stand Alone Complex doesn't follow the comics much at all. The thing is, up until Arise, GitS was the shit because you had three completely different interpretations of the same characters and "universe", so to speak, by three very talented narrators with drastically different viewpoints: its heterogeneity was its strength. It seems that the people behind Arise assumed that copying the tone or how the plots were structured in SAC was the modus operandi of the directors, without any of the talent of Kenji Kamiyama, which led to the absolute mediocrity that it was ("weebs" complaining about new GitS isn't new at all). The new film just took it to a whole new level of rancidness, just cherrypicking the "cooler", most memorable scenes from 1995 and fucking up the cohesion all together. The criticism is not because it's new, or because it's american, it's because it's very fucking lazy.
