Review: An intriguing look at the future, the borders of man and machine are blurred and your left hoping that you will hear more of this future world. The subtitled version is Much better than the dubbed version, (I have both versions) the characters intonation and attitude are clearer. I Highly recommend this to action and anime fans. this is an excellent start in anime!!!

Summary: "Ghost": the Prophetic Pinnacle of Its Genre
Review: "Ghost in the Shell" parallels apocalyptic and lyrically haunting Sci-Fi films like "Blade Runner" and "Gattaca." Amidst its intense and visually stimulating animation lies the deeper theme of defining humanity in the context of a "modern" technological society. In a world drowning in a cold and infinite "sea of information," "Ghost," despite its thick techno-jargon, compels us to ponder the ever-blurring break point between what we perceive as life/self-consciousness, and artificial (i.e. computer age-spawned) life. While the complex sub-plot about the enigmatic "Puppet Master" may be difficult to follow, "Ghost" ultimately drives home basic yet deep questions regarding humanity. Have we humans underestimated the swiftly-growing power of technology, a monstrous power which could one day overpower and trivialize humanity itself? A stunning and meticulously crafted work of art, "Ghost in the Shell," despite its token imperfections, is at once thought-provoking and stimulating to even the most jaded Sci-Fi fanatic's palate. An instant anime classic, "Ghost" is, I feel, the crowning glory of the CyberPunk genre. END

Summary: better than your average anime
Review: This film has more substance than most anime's out there. Beautiul to look at, a good soundtrack, mecha design by Shoji Kawamori(mecha god), and its a complete film, not one of an eight part OVA series so you can add it to your library. Not as epic in proportion as Akira but a good solid piece. END

Summary: Amazingly, a thoughtful action flick
Review: This anime adaptation of Masamune Shirow's Ghost in the Shell manga is somewhat slow for the genre, but it gives a look into man's drive for new knowledge and technology and the possibility of synthetic intelligence. This movie hooked me into Anime. END

Summary: Much better than dub
Review: This version of Ghost in the Shell (subtitled) is SO much better than the dubbed version - you get a stronger sense of each character's personality by hearing the voices originally intended for them. I was disappointed by the plot of this movie until I watched the sub. version; then I had to own it! END

Summary: One of the greatest sci-fi films of all time.
Review: Ghost in the Shell is simply my favorite science fiction film second only to Blade Runner- Director's Cut. Which, not surprisingly, influenced this movie a great deal. I remember back in 1996.....already a full blown anime aficionado, I had followed the production of this film since the first Japanese press release and was eagerly awaiting its indefinate arrival on American shores. Having read Masamune Shirow's graphic novel that inspired the film, this became the first anime title that I ever pre-ordered and counted the days upon its release. But the movie wasn't what I had expected. The entense action was toned down a bit. The humor in the graphic novel was entirely non-existent in the film. What was left were the deep philosophical ovetones. And I commend Mamoru Oshii for making the risky decision to focus mainly on this aspect of the story. The movie, in fact, was BETTER than I could have ever hoped. The story seems simple even typical when described, but it's the underlining philosophical themes that make this film such a treasure. Our protagonist is Motoko Kusanagi, an officer of a military division known as Section 9. On the trail of a Notorious hacker dubbed The Puppet Master, Kusunagi begins to question her own consciousness or "ghost" as she unravels the case. Deep in 'noir' territory, Ghost in the Shell is definately not for the viewer who likes to check their brain at the door. You will be challenged to discover the existential nature of the characters as they discover it themselves. This is not bad filmaking rather than a forced empathy with Kusunagi that will hopefully get you contemplating some of the philosophical issues presented here.
