  1. So, you approached the same original Power Rangers with the same critical thought? I would be pressed to be believed that. Describing something as "kiddie trash" sounds so overly pompous and amateurish as a professional critic. I'm not particularly surprised by it and won't personally grieve over it
  2. The industry does have a history of failing in adapting anime and manga into live action. Little success
  3. What do you mean by this? What physical properties does the internet have? It's an intangible construct. It's not even an apt comparison to the fictional concept in GitS.
  4. The positive reviews are honestly nice, knowing the franchise. I have to add that a couple of the negative reviews are odd in attempting to critique an absurd premise with such seriousness. Dismissing the film because of an antagonist's name is a bit much. And suggesting the new film has grand lessons to learn from the old series is also an odd supposition that makes you question Ehrlic's recollection of the series.
  5. Those are sadly the only ones successful. Japan has botched a lot of anime and manga adaptations too.
  6. They can connect to the network through their physical "shells" and cybernetic bodies. In no way has the net been defined as physical
  7. This sounds like it's the best Power Rangers has produced. I'll probably enjoy it
  8. Considering Ehrlic (Indiwire) gave Rogue One and Civil War C's, that's not too shabby
  9. It's creation is ordered and directed by a sister intelligence department under the ministry of affairs. It's American-made in the sense of who the chief architect is
  10. The anime film takes place in a fictitious setting modeled after Hong Kong. It's also suggested that a multiculral populace inhabits the region. The matters of each operative's origins are not thoroughly explored or discussed within the series. Batou is obviously a French name and the character looks conspicuously European, but that kind of thing is not a point of focus. It sure does make me skeptical of any argument that proposes he's certainly of Japanese descent because of the aforementioned and how it's moot when the property's central ideas are that of transhumanism. The anime also distinguishes between Japanese characters without enhancements and those who have cybernetic bodies, so this point can also be disregarded. I'm positive Shirow intended to draw characters to appear ethnically neutral as a matter of emphasizing themes. Anyway, the new film has a really diverse cast. Takeshi Beat, Rila Fukushima, and Kaori Momoi just to name a few Japanese actors, might be missing more. The Section 9 cast is arguably among the most diverse ensembles Hollywood has produced in years so there is representation
  11. I think the outrage over whitewashing this film is a bit misplaced. Most that are protesting have little understanding of the property, or are not aquainted with it all.
  12. She plays a cyborg that frequently ponders her existence and humanity. This is definitely a role for her
  13. That's sad because it's not far-fetched for a large film studio to prioritize spectacle over character. They could produce a great espionage thriller with BW
  14. She's athletic and has the acting chops, which is much more important for the role of The Major.
  15. She's athletic and has the acting chops, which is much more important for the role of The Major.
  16. Can either of these people deliver a commendable acting performance, let alone lead a blockbuster?
  17. What actress looks like that? This is a cherry picked scene as well because her cybernetic body is being pushed to its limits as she takes on a strainful load.
