Too much of everything

Such a frustrating disappointment

Absolutely the worst movie.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Before I begin, I advise you don't show your kids this film. It's sort of violent in some areas.Ghost In The Shell 2:Innocence is the 2004 sequel to Mamoru Oshii's original 1995 anime classic. The film isn't as well known as it's predecessor, so I thought I'd review it.The film is mainly about Batou and Togusa trying to unravel a case surrounding murderous sex dolls. The dolls kill people before self destructing. The pair will have to solve the case before more are murdered. By the way, Motoko isn't even really in the film, only at the end.I really enjoy this film. It's astounding in almost every way. Also, if you're wondering about the dub, I personally really liked it. Go see Ghost In The Shell 2:Innocence and be amazed!

I'm not going to pretend to know much about the manga but I have watched the original movie and the live-action adaptation. First off, everything on paper seems like this will be great. Director and writer of the first one, same great cast. Then the story starts and it's fine. But then it never really builds into anything. I was completely bored and was just waiting for something interesting to happen. How is this meandering bore the sequel to the fantastic first film?Other nitpicks: Bad already dated looking blending of CG animation with traditional animation. Dull animation of characters from the first one like Batou looked lifeless in this.I crapped on the live-action movie for borrowing too much from the first movie but this one probably could have benefited from looking at the themes of the first in a different way. Instead it veered so far away that it didn't even feel like it was in the same universe.

In the year 2032, Batô, a cyborg detective for the anti-terrorist unit Public Security Section 9, investigates the case of a female robot-- one created solely for sexual pleasure--who slaughtered her owner. Imagine Blade Runner, Robocop, Terminator and I Robot having a baby all 4 of them combined that would probably be called 'Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence' now my problem with this film isn't the lack of action although there's 3 pretty good scenes with Bato destroying a bunch of female robots, Yakuza and a big male robot that looks like it came out of the 1995 Judge Dredd film. My main problem with this film it was the fact that it tried to be way too much serious and not have any fun with itself but also way too many quotes and philosophy that gets a bit old after a while. Now do i think that this is a great film? Yes it is it does have a pretty good looking animation, the soundtrack is very enjoyable and the overall characters are interesting but the whole quotes thing and the lack of any kind of action and villains might make some people get a bit bored with it. (7.9/10)

Even better than the first one, which is very difficult to overcome.I 'll begin to highlight two little flaws (if we can call it that way): 1- Some of the philosophical quotes in the movie could be a bit misplaced. The characters seems to be compelled to quote in an almost steady manner. Anyway, we have to keep in mind this is a very philosophical film in many ways, with a remarkable psychological burden. 2- Being a masterpiece, the movie is too short. Just 100mn. is not enough to recreate oneself with that beautiful imagery and thorough substance.Having said that, this movie goes beyond perfection. And i'm not talking about the amazing music or the astonishing visuals. I'm talking about the serious, accurate, transcendent, intelligent plot/script.In some way is like a mind-blowing trip with many different layers of reality. At a certain point, the viewer does not know in which of them he is. The question has therefore arisen, as to whether we really know where are we heading to, about computer applications in the internet world.10/10
