Ghost in the Shell
You know, you guys are pretty lucky that i even took the time to rate this piece of crap. It was the worst movie (animated or live action) that i have ever seen. The action scenes are very good and the animation in them is great, but what is with that main chick? Why does she just run around naked all the time? That was just plain stupid. It didn't do anything for the movie...obviously.... Also, good action scenes don't cover for the crappy-ass story line. C'mon...a hacker named the puppetmaster? When i heard that i was immediately turned off. I am sorry but this movie was pathetic. Well, reading what it says above, it was indeed sad, depressing, but it aint uplifting...unless you get off on crap.

Ghost in the Shell
Excellent! This is the best Anime I've seen since the now legendary Akira. The plot was very cool, although it may lose the interest of the average viewer since it was almost too cerebral for most to comprehend...

Ghost in the Shell
A futuristic cyberpunk sort of film, Ghost in the Shell is a wonderfully animated film, although it has unneccessarily long pauses and pointless still shots which only serve to lengthen the movie. It is in this manner that Ghost in the Shell may even put one to sleep, as it did the first time I had watched it. However, repeated viewings do reveal deeper meanings, and one can not help but respect the efforts of the team in creating such a deep and well-executed film. Definitely of acquired tastes, however.

Ghost in the Shell
This was a very good movie. The animation was awesome. The setting was superb and thought provoking. I liked the idea and theme of this movie very much. What I didn't like was specific events and plots going on in the movie. The physical events are crappy in comparison to the philisophcal views of this movie. The plot was unclear and sketchy. The ideas of what defines humanity in this age are a 10. Overall I recomend to pay no attention to the events that take place, but only about the messages that expressed; and also just enjoy the anime.

Ghost in the Shell
Although it is not the most amusing anime ever, (and it was never meant to be so), it is, of all I've seen or even heard about, the most intelligent anime ever. The rise of artificial intelligence and the robotisation of humanity (cyborgs) brought to a point where no difference exist anymore. The characters are definitively the most important part of this anime.

Ghost in the Shell
The only anime film I know of which won 2 Academy Awards, for outstanding achievment in animation. Considered a breakthrough for it's technical aspects. But is "Ghost In The Shell" really that good. Well it's certainly in the above average range. Great animation, and very well made.

Ghost in the Shell
"Ghost in the Shell" is the first full-length anime that i've ever seen, so i'm not sure what i'm relating my review to, but comparing it to other recent live-action Hollywood blockbusters of similar genres, I have to say that this is one of the best (and deep!) movies I've seen in a long while.

As most other reviewers have said, you have to watch this through two or three times before you fully understand the philosophical plot. That's what kept me coming back. I HAD to understand it! Not recommended for people with short attention spans. Also, the ending may leave some baffled. Until about my third time watching it I would have described it as a "cliff hanger" ending.

The Animation is brilliant. Never before have i seen an animated film with such visual appeal as GitS. The CG works blend in seamlessly with the hand-drawn graphics, and every scene is built with unparalleled detail and realism.

The sound is great in quality, and my only complaint is in some of the music. The Main theme is also my main problem, but most of the other music is great and fits perfectly. The dubbing isn't as bad as I've heard people say. I've seen MUCH worse. However it could've been a little better.

Overall, an excellent motion picture worthy of as much fame as any modern film. Anyone who considers themself an anime fan should include this in their library--if they're a deep thinker.

Ghost in the Shell
A most excellent movie.
I was originally interested in it after i played the sony playstation game so i was sad that they did not show those little mini-tank thingies you drive in the game.

An anime film good enough to show with pride to those new to the genre. There's a lot of crap out there but this isn't it.

Ghost in the Shell
A great film with an imaginative, hauting soundtrack, incredibly accurate (yet stylized) animation, and... it's a film with great science fiction concepts, much like the film "Gattaca". Those looking for mindless action & gore will not find much of it here. If you enjoyed films like "Patlabor 1", and "Wings of Honneamise", you'll love this one. Personally, I think this is the best anime film ever made.

Good storyline, must read the comics to fully appreciate the underlying messages.

Ghost in the Shell
The comics absolutely blow the movie away, which shortens the manga's plot a bit too much to be fully appreciated. Also, despite the many praises of its animation, i thought that the animation was not very fluid or detailed at all. Instead, it was choppy, and the character desigs are boring and plain. Masamune Shirow's original manga designs have much more charm to them, and sometimes Matoko can look downright mannish. The Ghost in the Shell playstation game's anime scenes are surprisingly much better than those of the movie, both in quality and fluidity in motion, and they even utilize the original voice actors and the manga's style of characters. I just wish that the movie kept the style of the manga like the game did and focused less on still shots and unnecessarily loooooooong pauses in dialogue and movement, as most of the movie is spent with characters standing ABSOLUTELY still with ABSOLUTELY NO MOTION at all, including breathing. When the Ghost in the Shell game's animation and pacing wows you more than a ghost in the shell motion picture, you know that's a bad thing.

Excellent animation. It reminded me of the movie The Matrix. Not enough action scenes. Was disappointed.

Probably My favorite anime and one of the first I ever saw. Brilliant animation combined with brilliant music create a cyberpunk universe to rival AKIRA itself.

Ghost in the Shell
I give it an 8. The movie is a great translation from one of the last episodes of the graphic novel (read manga) made by Masamune Shirow in 1990. However, I think that by watching this move once, it is impossible to get all the ideas and artisticly developed plots that Masamune Shirow shows in the manga version of GITS(Ghost in the shell). I could only accomplish that after I read twice the manga compilation of the ghost in the shell episodes. I never liked female characters until GITS. The complex and interesting personality of Lt. Kusanagi should gain an award of literature and graphic novel developmnet. At first, she seems like a distant and too complex character, but in the end of the manga (which is the whole movie), I realized how much I identified with her personality. The fact that Masamune Shirow think of this plot back in 1989, when the Internet wasn´t as big as today, shows how futuristic and realistic is his mind. By the way, Shirow has never been pictured, and only few people have seen him, which suggests me of an extraterrestrial mind... seriously. However, in this days things have to be cooler at first sight, not after spending tons of hours in them, to give a 10. As every masterpiece of literature, it will not be understood in its time, but as times passes it´ll get the recognition it truly deserves.
