Ghost in the Shell was just okay. I was so excited, thought it was going to be outstanding, it wasn't. It had some amazing visuals, an interesting glimpse of a futuristic world. It brought to mind Blade Runner right away, but the similarities ended there. You just can't really touch Blade Runner in my opinion. Besides, I have a habit of comparing all futuristic worlds to BR. Scarlett Johansson did a marvelous job of bringing the Major to life. Overall it was good but not what I wanted. I needed more. I think it comes from being a fan of the magma and the anime series. The movie had a lot of ground to cover and it didn't do it well. If this is your first taste of The Ghost in the Shell, then you may find the movie enjoyable.
