Good movie, just average

In 2021, I finally finished watching this American version of "Ghost in the Shell" and I can only say that the changes are really average. When I first saw the first half, I was quite relieved because the anime version was restored to a certain extent. For example, jumping off the building, invisibility, etc., etc., but the director's additional plot does not like it.

First of all, the film abandoned the dark philosophy core and joined the major identity and human boss. At that time, Hollywood was still "whitewashing" all the movies, so we saw in this movie the confusing operation that was originally Asian and then changed to white.

In the end, the screenwriter adopted it, the drama is not enough, and love comes together. Because of abandoning the dark core of the story, the movie finally began to find love with a certain name?

The fighting and the special effects are pretty good, but the plot is just too mediocre

4/10

    Turning such a shocking and obscure Japanese story into such a plain American popcorn movie is truly amazing.

    The old bet's dog and the wild roll that can be beaten by Bi Suzi may become the biggest winners.
