auvokarhumaa I saw the original anime in my teens and have to say that wasn't utterly impressed back then. The plot was confusing and dragged a bit as far as I , propably should see it again sometime. As for this new live version I was blown away going into it with no high expectations. This was very streamlined stylish and thought provoking movie. Everything was just right; from set pieces to fashion forward costume design, music, acting and cinematography, all performing at top level. I enjoyed this movie tremendously and have to wonder if there is some foul play at the rating of this future classic here on IMDB...

arkadyk-70831 Are probably dudes who live in their parent's basement past 30. This movie had the worst acting I think I've ever seen. Name your worst movie title and it is still leaps and bounds better than GITS . First we have the most overrated actress to ever appear on screen with her raspy voice & failed delivery. A fist full of no names who embrace the severe continuity errors. 1980's level CGI . I had to stop watching this movie , free, on an airplane, going overseas 3 times, because it was so bad.

mikeshelp Loved the anime original, watchable MOVIE adaptation. Good action. (Yeah sequel could be done)

tqv-80835 Hollywood is a junkie that is beyond help and redemption.It is addicted to the drug of remakes and sequels. It is just terrible. Copy/inferior paste, copy/inferior paste, ad nauseam.With 10% originality and story telling left in Hollywood we have to stay home and be rid of this stupidity. Scarlet Johansson, Paul Feig, Jar Jar Abrams, Kathleen Kennedy and the rest of the hacks should just throw in the towel.Man, I cringed for almost two hours trying to get to the end of this DVD. What did it add to the original? Nothing? Exactly. Takeshi Kitano looked like he is cringing right alongside me.
