  Ghost in the Shell I and II

Watched it once a few weeks ago. I think they're fairly good.

... What's your impression and write your short reviews on how good you think they are.

I'm contemplaing if it's worth ordering those DVDs.

Been dunno how many years since I watched the first movie. Even now I'm trying to find the R2 version that has english subs.

if I had to give a review, I'd say, fans of action, comedy, gore and the like, you probably won't like this.

GITS, apart from being scifi, is damn philosophical. I know philosophical, and it can get pretty boring for some people.

But for those who appreciate this, and especially those who appreciate art, then yes, they are great movies. Lots of hiddn messages if you care to dig them out.

YO!!
ive seen the first one.. difficlut but REALLY GOOD!!!
I have bought the second one, but have not watched it yet..
I actually heard that it should be really good.. Possibly better than GITS 1..
(do you know that GIT is an insult.. hehe )


Posted by Roarkiller on 10.08.2006, 12:37 AM:

 

Hardly. Calling somebody a git is like saying someone cool is radical. It's the new millennium people, keep up with the times.

On the other hand..... COWABUNGA!!!

YO!!
Where the hell does Git mean that?? You live in Antarctica??? (i actually would like to.. )
A git is like a... normal insult, like idiot, tosser, dickhead etc..
not so heavy as dickhead though!! More like idiot..


Posted by Loscil on 10.21.2006, 06:34 PM:

 

YO!!
just saw GOTS - Innocence...
FUCKING AMAZING!!! Its definiteyl in my top three animes of all time... SOOOO GOOD!!
Its not so complicated or phylosophical as the first one, the philosophical level is comparable to that of the first matrix movie, if not a bit more.
There was only one scene which i did not really understand, namely the scene in the shop, where Batou "shoots himself"... What really happened there?
To those of you who have seen the film, Could you please give me some info..
Excuse me, i gotta go; im gonna watch the movie again now

I don't like Ghost in a Shell. It sorta put me to sleep when
I was watching it on TV.


Posted by Loscil on 10.22.2006, 10:16 AM:

 

YO!!
the series or what??? anyways, you should se innocence, its sooo much better than the first one....
I know this is close to blasphemy (), but it might even be my fave anime ever... (operative word being might)...


Posted by totorogirl on 10.22.2006, 07:53 PM:

 

Rented it via Netflix.com in English subs. It was pretty cool.


Posted by foreignfilmfreak on 10.22.2006, 09:27 PM:

 

I watched a stand alone episode.
I can't get into it now, cause of my list
and my friends shojou and shounen list.
I still like FMA better. It is heavy dialogue
and a interesting story. WOOHOO!!
Writer in the making talking!


Posted by Loscil on 10.23.2006, 03:22 AM:

 

YO!
FMA?


Posted by foreignfilmfreak on 10.23.2006, 09:25 AM:

 

Okay, JRR, I'm trying hard not to spam but FMA stands
for Fullmetal Alchemist. I abbreviate alot of titles that
are long.
Like I call Ghost in a Shell GIAS.
It's also one of my sigs. My sis thinks the boy is hot.


Posted by Loscil on 10.23.2006, 05:17 PM:

 

YO!!
you should see innocence..
Anways, can anyone explain the shop-scene..?pls?


Posted by em_gracie on 11.07.2006, 10:53 AM:

 

about Ghost in the Shell- The themes in it are fantastic. As a piece of animation it is astonishing, and the sound track enhances the experience. It's nice short piece, with really good action scenes and interesting sceneries. I haven't bought Innocence yet as I am endorsing myself in Studio ghibli with the extra money that i have.
Definatley get into the first film though.
