The score was closer to a 4 until I realized that the movie was basically jumping and shaking with excitement to do one specific reference and that was when the movie lost me. This movie is mostly a bunch of references to other movies strung together in a chain of nothing but references and borrowed ideas for other Alien movies. This meant that they barely had a core idea like the other Alien movies did, and if there were one, it would probably be Greed and brotherhood and sisterhood. But other than that it was just an excuse to take their favorite scenes and use them

It would probably be a four or five but the game wasted six hours of my life because it never auto saved and then asked me to create a new character and I was not allowed to look for the character or any saves. Switch version starts mostly smooth but gradually turns into a chugfest more and more until it deletes its entire existence. Don't play this game that hates your time and hates you. If the game did not behave in this hateful manner it would be a fun game were youncould adspt classes and make them more or less like each other and with a few fun twists here and there . But as it is: the switch version hates you and you should not reward hatred.

A well made an imaginative movie that could have gone further with the horror, further with the body stuff, and built more on the lore. But it is not at all bad as a movie, I like it a lot. The best thing about this movie to me has nothing to do with the movie itself, it is the fact that it's a very good description of what happens when a ship travels without safety in Warhammer 40k.

What did I like about this movie? The Ghost in the Shell stuff. What I dislike? The fact that they did not seem like they could decide what they wanted to make. Did they want to make a new interpretation of the core material or a straight live-action remake? They apparently decided to do both. The movie is made up of 4 things: The two original animated movies, and Blade Runner rehashes, as well as their own ideas. The end result is a movie that is just a best-of collection of the original movies, with worse versions of most of those scenes. It is also much more inspired by Blade Runner, so much so that ideas and scenes almost feel ripped from it. Haven't you seen Blade Runner? Good, if you are gonna watch this movie. And their own ideas mostly just get in the way of their own movie as well as the good parts of the other movies that I have mentioned. The movie is set in Hong Kong for no reason, which makes no sense in the Ghost in the Shell world. Characters are changed and/or weirdly acted in not so logical ways. And they are not as interested in the story of Ghost in the Shell as they are in the aesthetics of it and other Sci-fi movies (Cyberpunk if you will). And this preoccupation with the looks mostly gets in the way of the actual original story, as well as their own, but also the core ideas behind it. All in all, it just ends up being a jumbled mess. Watch the original three movies instead, Blade Runner and Ghost in the Shell 1 and 2. And when it comes to stuff like this, people tend to bring up the rose-tinted glasses, but that was not the case in this movie, for me. I watched this movie twice, one time with a few years distance to when I last saw the original movies. Then I thought it was okay and thought the dislike for this movie was too harsh, I understood it, but I thought it was too harsh. And then I went back and saw the original movies back to back and then waited a few days and saw this one again and it was much much much worse. I had not remembered how much the movie was one for one remake, but how they still added stuff that was just there to be more. And how they lost track of and had misunderstood and was just too preoccupied with the looks. This view has softened a little bit, but it is still the core of what I think, and as such, this movie gets the below score from me: 5.5/10

This is a movie for mature audiences; nudity, complex themes, slow moving great build ups, flawed characters and utterly beautiful scenes. Inspired by stuff like Blade Runner, but without being derivative, putting it's own spin on things, granted, these spins inspired so much after it came out it might seem less creative but that is the danger of success.

Simply put this dark, depressing, beautiful, well acted and realistic origin story of the Joker is a much watch. This movie definitely explores the themes of self destruction and growth.
