That's it, these good opinions about it and the fact I love Japanese and Hollywood products convinced me, I'll watch it this Wednesday I need my dose of futuristic worlds

You couldn't really Americanise because the themes are deeply embedded with Japanese culture and relationship with technology.

 

I'll have to watch Ghost in the Shell in anime one of these days, I have the episodes but didn't see them yet, so many things to watch. I guess I'll have to see for myself, if it's pretty Japanese in its way of telling and interacting that's likely to interest me.

Not that much different then Bladerunner, IRobot, Minority Report or Terminator about culture and technology.  Easy to Americanize it.

I really liked iRobot, Sonny was a cool robot.

TV show would work better

Well, I don't see this working in live-action, but an animated movie would be really cool, I liked the anime last year

You mean a live-action with Japanese actors? These movies are pretty bad most of the time

Review is in English. It's from a Dutch critic. Basically says the film is great visually but the story/plot are weak. Doesn't like any of the cast including Scarjo....and it has nothing to do with the white washing. It just felt to this critic that the cast didn't match the characters. Based on what I've seen so far the visuals have all been praised but the plot has been called out several times. 

 

Warning this review has some spoilers in regards to the plot.

What's the budget on this film? Do we know yet?

[DeeCee]

I've seen the original a number of times but not for many years now.  I have at times almost bought the DVD but I'm never sure whether or not it is a crap release so I put it off till next time.

 

So I'll be looking at this live action version with semi-fresh eyes.

Funny we call these movies live action because they have tons of CGI animation in it.

Is this a critic or a fan? Some criticisms were based on factually incorrect information on the different iterations

I was left cold by the Akira and GotS. Great settings, jumped plots. I am aware that Eastern storytelling is so different to Western style that it can take years to become acclimated though.

Scarlett was on the Howard Stern show and he asked her what is the budget for the film, and she said that is around 130m.

The plots movie-wise are so compressed in Akira and GiTS. GiTS even more so. I honestly enjoyed the show that came in the early 2000s ((Stand Alone Complex)) more because it fleshed out the characters and setting more.

Here is a new review.
