Rating: Summary: Wonderful Animation Review: Great storyline. Fantastic score. One should try listening to the analog recording of the soundtrack (in laser disc format) the music will blow your mind.
Rating: Summary: Superior visual, tolerable story. Review: Insofar as the technical aspects, that is to say animation, sound, and music, this film achieves a level of excellence in the highest rank. The drawback to me is the story.It seems that in the attempt to be metaphysically challenging, the creator conjured up a somewhat ambiguous plot which resulted in characters that feels cold and distant to the audience. The sentimental content is hollow and one does not come away with any sense of inspiration or emotional impact that are found in many other classics of Japanimations.
Rating: Summary: One of the greatest Anime films of all time Review: Ghost in the Shell is one of the best anime films of all time. Based on the original manga of cyber-punk Masamune Shiro, this film goes far and beyond what it takes to make an excellent film. The animation is superb, with only a few minor flaws in a few scenes. The story is fantastic and has the ability to question wither or not inhuman objects can have a soul. The music is interesting and draws you into the story more than most anime titles do. Finally, even the dubbing is good. This is one title that I wouldn't mind having dubbed, and I only say this because the original cast seems to be a little mechanical than their american counterparts. Overall, this is one film that older (and I stress OLDER) audiences can enjoy on different levels.
Rating: Summary: Ghost in the Shell is top 10 Review: This movie was one of the greatest animes ever. it starts off very weird, but as it progresses, you begin to understand what goes on. get this movie if you are an anime fan, anime fan wannabe, or a manga comic fan.
Rating: Summary: one of the best..... Review: "Ghost in the Shell" is one of the most Cutting edge and visually stimulating movies I've seen in years. With it's mix of Classic Animation, and the latest in computer graphics. it's puts on one of the best shows I've seen. the movie is based in a futuristic Japan where every thing is coputerised, even the human body. So much so that there is almost nothing in a person's body that's not cybernetic. The only thing that remains is a person's ghost or their consciousness. Which becomes easily manipulated by computer technology. This is where the movie kicks in. It's based around an industrial espianosh program in titled Project 2501, nicknamed the "the puppet master" when it became self aware and broke from it's creators. Now the police must track it down. That's when the movie get's complicated. I really enjoyed this movie and i strongly suggest you go to see it. Mojory as redeemed herself as a director after making "Tank Police" one of the worst movies I've ever seen.
Rating: Summary: Visually Incredible . . . Review: "Ghost in the shell" is a very thought provoking anime. The story line seems rather complex at first, but after watching the movie twice it has proved to be very intriguing. I really love this movie on a visual level. The blend of computer animation and 2d animation techniques has created many incredible moments. Even though I enjoy the deeply cerebral themes running through "Ghost in the shell", its visual splendor is what provides me with the most sustenance and inspiration. If you are looking for pure entertainment, look elsewhere, but if your are looking for an anime that proves to be extremely satisfying on many levels, "Ghost in the shell" is sure to please.
Rating: Summary: Yip, it's good Review: Wow... Anime movies usually have complicated plots but this one is really involved. Unbelievable directing in this movie... possibly the best directed animation I've ever seen (period). Miss it at your peril.
Rating: Summary: Ultravox... Just Longer Review: Well, this isn't the best CD ever, but quite good for Ultravox fans. The last track is quite fantastic, but some may feel (rightly) that extending Ultravox only means the depressed messages take longer to get to your ears. If you are an Ultravox completist, then you'll love this album. If not...
Rating: Summary: Hi-tech Action Review: I'm a huge animation fan myself. In total I think I have about 49 films, and Ghost in The Shell is one of my favorite. It starts off kinda slow but you get right into it and dont want to stop watching. If you arr a huge fan of sci-fi/action anime then you'll love this movie. It has some cool action scenes and one really cool hand to hand combat scene. It's a good movie... you shouldnt miss this one.
Rating: Summary: One of the best anime titles, ever. Review: Masamune Shirow's world of Ghost In the Shell is completely real and immersive. Less than five minutes into the film, and you'll believe it's real. A definite must-see.
