This is a fake Ghost in the Shell

This is a fake Ghost in the Shell, the protagonist is Mira or Scarlett Johansson, not Kusanagi Motoko anyway. It can barely be regarded as a second-rate American sci-fi action film, and it is basically not related to cyberpunk. It's really emotional to watch. I gave it one star because he used the name of Attack in the Shell but not emotional points. Even if this film is not called Attack in the Shell, it can't be more than two stars.

This is a fake Ghost in the Shell, the protagonist is Mira or Scarlett Johansson, not Kusanagi Motoko anyway. It can barely be regarded as a second-rate American sci-fi action film, and it is basically not related to cyberpunk. It's really emotional to watch. I gave it one star because he used the name of Attack in the Shell but not emotional points. Even if this film is not called Attack in the Shell, it can't be more than two stars.

There are too many flaws in the plot logic. In order to force a plot that seems to be a simplified core idea of ​​attacking the shell (in fact, only the shell has been simplified), even the pre-tech setting background that carries the idea has been greatly rewritten. Change to the point where it violates the normal laws of scientific and technological development. Compared with the gradually developed and perfected settings of the previous three versions (the fourth version did not develop much but at least did not regress much), this version has so many loopholes that it is hard to bear to look at it directly.

Well, anyway, this is a fake attack in the shell, so I won't mention the original and the animated version, just watch it as a special effect action movie.

But ah, this picture and action are not enough!

The special effects are neither realistic nor gorgeous nor delicate, and they are not as good as the cutscenes in some recent game masterpieces. The details of the picture are not as good as the American comics in the past two years, and it is not as good as the two theatrical versions of the background madman Oshii Mori more than ten years ago. The growth animation of the protagonist at the beginning is not as rough as HBO's TV series "Westworld", and it is not comparable to the animation of the past dynasties. I seriously doubt that the modeler understands the human body structure. In the anatomy screen, the protagonist's chest is full of bionic muscles, and there is nothing like a fat-like thing. What the hell? The advancing rhythm of the lens is also out of control, and the eyes feel very uncomfortable.

Let's talk about the performance of the actors, I feel that Scarlett Johansson was not in the state the whole time, not to mention Lost in Tokyo, it is not a star and a half worse than the super body and Fulian. There are many outfits, the only gratifying thing is that the main film doesn't look as fat as the trailer...

The previously rumored puppet king and laughing man do not exist, and the so-called Kuze only has the name and the identity of the suspected protagonist's old lover. Pete's temperament is still the same as that of Jimmy Darmody.

There is no such thing as a tribute to the gods and horses of the previous work. If you don’t understand the meaning and classics of the previous work, you will start copying, and the copy is not good. Can it still be called a tribute? Do you think fans of the previous game are stupid?

However, all of the above should be regarded as the pot of smashing performances. After all, it is a smashing performance that only scored 6 points in IMDB before, so it is not surprising that this time a film has the lowest score in history. Some people say that doing this is to cater to the appetite of non-fans and European and American audiences, but IMDB has fallen below 7 now, and the American people are not easy to fool! It remains to be seen how much the final score of this version will be smashed.

Some people say that this time at least it can promote the previous work to the fans of the shell circle. I think it will be for the fans of Scarlett circle at most. The new audience who were originally interested in the shell can watch a 6-part film. How interested are you? Anyway, when I finished watching the show, most of the non-fan audience members said: "Well~ still (bing) OK (bu) let's (xing)", I'm afraid it's just to comfort myself, save it. Wondering if it's a waste of money.

Ghost in the Shell quotes

  • Batou: [Batou just got new eyes] Say something nice.

    Major: You chose those?

    Batou: They're tactical.

  • Major: Tell me who you are.

    Kuze: I am that which you seek to destroy. In this life, my name is Kuze.

    Major: What are you doing to me?

    Kuze: I have connected you to a network of my own creation. When I am finished in this world, my ghost can survive there and regenerate.

    Major: What do you want from me?

    Kuze: I became fascinated with you, reading your code while you were inside that geisha. Like nothing I had felt before and yet so... familiar. We are the same.

    Major: We are not the same. You kill innocent people.

    Kuze: "Innocent", is that what you call them? I am as they made me.

    Major: Who made you?

    Kuze: What have they told you? That you were the first? The first cerebral salvage? You were born of lessons took from my failure.

    Major: What are you talking about?

    Kuze: I was conscious while they dismembered my body and discarded me like garbage. I was lying on a table, listening to doctors talk about how my mind had not meshed with the shell that they had built, how Project 2571 had failed, and they had to move on to you.

    [removes a piece of Major's face]

    Kuze: What a beauty you are. They have improved us so much since they made me. They thought we would be a part of their evolution, but they have created us to evolve alone... beyond them.

    Major: "Evolution", that's what you call killing everyone who made you?

    Kuze: You're not listening to me.

    Major: You're a murderer.

    Kuze: They tried to kill me first. It is self-defense; defense of self! More will die until they tell me what they took!
