I just returned from watching it. I on purpose haven't read any reviews (had to pretty much ignore facebook for couple of weeks) and first 15 minutes I was ready to be upset. Dialogues were not very promising, visually movie didn't felt deep and dark (nice pretty boy Batou, overdone holograms in city-scapes, no distinct music). But then it became so much better. References to GITS and GITS:Innocence are plenty but nicely done. Visually it became feast for my eyes, I really enjoyed it after all. THough still: holograms are not needed and there is no OST at all.
- pound 10y agolittle clarification: I'm not talking about street signs in general or tastefully done holograms. It's about those building-sized holograms, mostly in daylight scenes, that looks so unnecessary. (article's "solograms" part has shots very carefully selected and they look fine)
- pound 10y agoAnd soundtrack is actually big part of both original gits movies. Not sure why its' absence is not really noticed.
- Corrado 10y agoI had the same reaction; the first 2/3 of the movie I was upset and angry, then everything changed, for the better. I still don't like the major change(s) in the major's character and background but I think I can almost accept it as a differing history. I really was expecting more from this movie and while I'm happy it was made, I am slightly disappointed.
