because it looked like a shittier version of the Resident Evil movies starring a walled fridge stuffed in a body suit. she looked like 15 pounds of shit in a 5 pound sack. they needed a different, hotter, more svelte white woman to play the major.
When you're right, you're right. And you, sir, and quite right on this point.
Seriously, if they're going to build a female-shaped robotic body to house someone's brain, why build a body that looks like it belongs to a middle-aged housewife?
>because it looked like a shittier version of the Resident Evil movies starring a walled fridge stuffed in a body suit. she looked like 15 pounds of shit in a 5 pound sack. they needed a different, hotter, more svelte white woman to play the major.
Should have hired Sonoya Mizuno from Ex Machina!!!FACT!!!
What do you get from this? They literally say she is multiple times in numerous iterations. I'm not going to argue with you, just call you a homosexual.
Not my fault that asiatics and chinks and nips created an entire race of down syndrome drones that arr rook same. They should just get back to the factory instead of trying to make white people "Japanese"
As an adaptation of Ghost in the Shell? No. On its own merits? Also no. Nice production design, good cast besides ScarJo, all wasted in service of the most generic boilerplate Hollywood writing imaginable. Actually painful to watch. Read the manga instead.
I fricking hate that they just stuck two cylinders over his eyes rather than make it look like the cybernetic implants were imbedded into his eye sockets!!!FACT!!!
ScarJo looked so frickin THICC. And Batou was pretty based. The movie was just very underwhelming, and then BR2049 came out later in the year and shit all over it.
>Movie 1
One of the best animated films of all time >Movie 2

Peak GitS and peak sci-fi >manga

shit
all anime characters are white unless they put them in a rice patty with a pointy hat, or give them slit eyes like Brock. you can cope and seethe but i am correct.
>"What issue could there possibly be with casting her?" Oshii told IGN by e-mail. "The Major is a cyborg and her physical form is an entirely assumed one. The name 'Motoko Kusanagi' and her current body are not her original name and body, so there is no basis for saying that an Asian actress must portray her. Even if her original body (presuming such a thing existed) were a Japanese one, that would still apply."
Oshii seems a lot like Kojima, that very specific brand of faux-deep, Japanese, pseudo-cryptic while also worshiping Hollywood and Hollywood slop. Nightow is also kinda like this but he doesn't try that hard to come across as cool and mysterious.
it wasnt shot for shot like the anime but I felt ripped off Scarlett Johansen wasnt nude. Like b***h ive seen your movies, I know what your breasts look like
>mix various plots from the manga into a mish mash PoS >take iconic scenes from various movies and anime series >mix them all together in a way that is out of place in an already convoluted plot that does not pay respect to the source material
They even fricked up the tank battle, it wasnt even in a building
God this was fricking shit and GitS 95 is one of my all time favourite movies.
Bato actor was pretty well cast though imo.
Shit not worth watching, just CGI shoved in random places. Its not enhanced the actual animation is true kino.
Still watch it back to back to see the differences if you like.
imo none of the other GitS material touches the quality of the 95 movie.
The film is worth a watch for anyone who likes the cyberpunk aesthetic. Basically is the cyberpunk game in that respect. Another one I like is the Total Recall 2012 version, pretty similar case to Ghost in the Shell; you're better watching the originals, but the remakes are pure tech eyecandy. Total Recall falls to shit for its last 40 minutes though
Fans didn't like it because it doesn't respect the source material, and the causal audience didn't like it because it was medicore sci-fi action film that minus having a nice visual aesthetic it doesn't nothing interesting with its setting.
Shit actress who thinks Kusanagi is a robot. Stupid origin story. Universe look small and fake. Pazu and Boma played by Black folk. Kitano plays 30 seconds. Last battle is so dark you can't see anything.
It was a Robocop remake with a female protagonist disguised as a GITS movie that cherry picked things from the original movie and Stand Alone Complex but wasn't able to gel them into an organic whole. Nice cinematography though!!!FACT!!!
Some people criticized it early on and people jumped on them. I would have at least considered seeing it but seeing those people screaming at those more critical than me at the time put me off the movie
These posters already answered your question.
Old israeli hag instead of a hot Japanese teenager.
That's a good question. I thought it was frickin awesome.
She didn't get her tachikomas out
because it looked like a shittier version of the Resident Evil movies starring a walled fridge stuffed in a body suit. she looked like 15 pounds of shit in a 5 pound sack. they needed a different, hotter, more svelte white woman to play the major.
Wrong wrong wrong wrong,

This.

This, Motoko Kusanagi is supposed to be amazon-tier, not roided but fit
>because it looked like a shittier version of the Resident Evil movies starring a walled fridge stuffed in a body suit. she looked like 15 pounds of shit in a 5 pound sack. they needed a different, hotter, more svelte white woman to play the major.
Should have hired Sonoya Mizuno from Ex Machina!!!FACT!!!
she's a really shitty actress. I have no clue how she keeps getting work. Her accent in HotD was beyond garbage.
instead of a movie about naked japanese girl, we got Scarjo in a dumb costume
>japanese
anon...
kek
bottom pic is shopped just fyi
I just checked her insta
I honestly like her outfit. It's cute. She should dress like that all the time.
At least she dresses feminine
Meanwhile they get out the color picker to make sure you don't draw a character 1% whiter than they are in the original art.
That's her son or something, right? She looks at least 15 years older than him, and eastern Asians are supposed to look less old
What do you get from this? They literally say she is multiple times in numerous iterations. I'm not going to argue with you, just call you a homosexual.
Sure they can say that. But then they should actually depict her as Japanese and not a blue-eyed white woman.
>doesn't know anything about the source material
Bait, moron, or both.
Not my fault that asiatics and chinks and nips created an entire race of down syndrome drones that arr rook same. They should just get back to the factory instead of trying to make white people "Japanese"
homie she looks like fricking Alexandra Daddario in the anime, what cope is that?
Her ghost is Japanese but her shell is a white sex bot you raging homosexual
Gooood, I hate you fricking people so much!!!
her nationality is japanese, but that body is white.
Looks Japanese to me.
Not to mention 1995 doesn't even take place in Japan.
movie was not great but damn if the locations and sets weren't amazing
>this is that sexy robot Japanese woman I was tellin you about
>Why did it flop?
It cut out important scenes from the manga
Is this movie any good?
The best parts are literally shot-for-shot remakes of scenes from the anime. Everything else is garbo.
The tech and world design is pure kino
It's like a 6/10 I guess. Feels like something that would've dropped in 2006 rather than 2017. Strange movie.
nice visuals, bad movie
watch the anime + anime movies
As an adaptation of Ghost in the Shell? No. On its own merits? Also no. Nice production design, good cast besides ScarJo, all wasted in service of the most generic boilerplate Hollywood writing imaginable. Actually painful to watch. Read the manga instead.
Its a cyberpunk kino
wasn't as good as the original
I liked it. I have a movie poster from it on my wall. Idgaf.
cause she's a dumpy bore.
bit too chonky
He was so kino
Oddly enough so was the dude that played Batou
Scarjo a shit
Shit!
cares about the craft
Yeah, batou was good. I really didnt believe before because the guy is like 50kg less of muscle, but he did a good job.
Aramaki was shit, I would have expected some of the original sharp humor with kitano there
>Yeah, batou was good.
I fricking hate that they just stuck two cylinders over his eyes rather than make it look like the cybernetic implants were imbedded into his eye sockets!!!FACT!!!
You can even see the fricking edges of the prosthetics!!!FACT!!!
ScarJo looked so frickin THICC. And Batou was pretty based. The movie was just very underwhelming, and then BR2049 came out later in the year and shit all over it.
Is the anime any good?

shit
Where do I start? Amines or the films? Probably won't go down the manga route unless I really like it
>manga
>Based commie propaganda
Is it?
Not really, it's anti-American and can be leftist, but I wouldn't say full commie.
Yes, Motoko teams up with the KGB to outwit the CIA and Mossad
ugly pig girl and Hollywood can't cover it up anymore with angles
Having a israelite replace a Japanese woman was a grave insult to Japan.
Are you saying they whitewashed it? That's funny. The next adaptation she'll be a black American woman then
all anime characters are white unless they put them in a rice patty with a pointy hat, or give them slit eyes like Brock. you can cope and seethe but i am correct.
Mamoru Oshii didn't find it offensive:
>"What issue could there possibly be with casting her?" Oshii told IGN by e-mail. "The Major is a cyborg and her physical form is an entirely assumed one. The name 'Motoko Kusanagi' and her current body are not her original name and body, so there is no basis for saying that an Asian actress must portray her.

Oshii seems a lot like Kojima, that very specific brand of faux-deep, Japanese, pseudo-cryptic while also worshiping Hollywood and Hollywood slop. Nightow is also kinda like this but he doesn't try that hard to come across as cool and mysterious.
watch your mouf homosexual scarjo is an honorary khazar israelitefu
Source material is shit
Because PG-13.
Has a fan of Shirow and the franchise, I enjoyed it a lot. Great song too, wished they’d release it if they still haven’t.
it wasnt shot for shot like the anime but I felt ripped off Scarlett Johansen wasnt nude. Like b***h ive seen your movies, I know what your breasts look like
I really enjoyed it. it was a fun watch and it seemed like everyone had a good time making it.
Look at all the seething weeaboos in this thread that can't stand a thicc white woman LOL
>the middle one
GYATTT
It wasn’t THAT bad. 6/10
It was pg13 when it should have been R. Simple as.
Scarjo has the charisma of wet pine cone
>mix various plots from the manga into a mish mash PoS
>take iconic scenes from various movies and anime series
>mix them all together in a way that is out of place in an already convoluted plot that does not pay respect to the source material
They even fricked up the tank battle, it wasnt even in a building
God this was fricking shit and GitS 95 is one of my all time favourite movies.
Bato actor was pretty well cast though imo.
>Ahhh muh soi ration has run out
>Muh soi, muh soiii!!!
movie wasn't bad, but plank scarjo was a mid Motoko, and too fricking short
How is the enhanced version of the 95 film?
Dunno, gonna check it if I can find it
Shit not worth watching, just CGI shoved in random places. Its not enhanced the actual animation is true kino.
Still watch it back to back to see the differences if you like.
imo none of the other GitS material touches the quality of the 95 movie.
Laughing Man was a fricking lit character though
https://www.movie-censorship.com/report.php?ID=825158
What the FRICK. Why do they always do this? Just slap an orange filter and call it the new and enhanced version
I'll watch both but this looks garbo
holy shit it's unreal how bad 2.0 is
what the frick were they thinking
i've had the hots for scarjo since before she was blackwidow, but still had no desire to see this shit.
Has any move she stated in made money?
Nothing about ghosts in the machine.
No tachikomas.
Null personality.
To the trash it goes.
you frickers are gonna make me rewatch SAC at this rate
>Motoko Kusanagi
>Not an Asian woman
>Doesn't get naked
>Doesn't kick someone's ass while naked
Unforgivable
Can't have a character who's a canonical nympho going around with her breasts out. Why did they even try to make this fricking movie?
The film is worth a watch for anyone who likes the cyberpunk aesthetic. Basically is the cyberpunk game in that respect. Another one I like is the Total Recall 2012 version, pretty similar case to Ghost in the Shell; you're better watching the originals, but the remakes are pure tech eyecandy.

She isnt naked
>Why did it flop?
It missed the point of the original entirely is why, didn't look too bad overall though.
Best performance in the movie and it isn't even close.
It was a Robocop remake with a female protagonist disguised as a GITS movie that cherry picked things from the original movie and Stand Alone Complex but wasn't able to gel them into an organic whole. Nice cinematography though!!!FACT!!!
Bad casting, she was too old.
She walled a couple of years after this movie tho
2017 was the year of expensive scifi flops
>Alien:Covenant
>Ghost In The Shell
>Blade Runner 2049
>Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets
Some people criticized it early on and people jumped on them. I would have at least considered seeing it but seeing those people screaming at those more critical than me at the time put me off the movie
it didn't appealed to americans and it didn't appealed to japanese
The said "let's make it 50/50" while actually getting 0/0 viewers
Didn't it flop in America but do well with chinamen and thirdies
because it was a shitty movie that mashed two completely stories into one and completely got Motoko's character just as wrong as her race.
>bad directing
>bad acting
>bad story
scarlett did such a bad job, you can literally see her thinking "ACT LIKE A ROBOT ACT LIKE A ROBOT"
City wasn't gloomy enough.
STRANGE amount of scar jo hate in this thread... and the comments read as VERY israeli
trash dialogue
the aesthetic was pretty on brand aside from Scarjo not looking like a jacked gorilla of a major
the geisha dolls were fricking lit
>could make an assassin look like anything you want
>choose a 40 year old israelite
Y U DO DIS?
