A lot of this film went right over my head, and I'm sure the bad, hearing-impaired-only subtitling had a lot to do with that (thankyou Dreamworks).
I don't know if I'm just not "intelligent" enough (I usually seem to get by alright with every other movie - and no I don't need to be spoon-fed all the information) but there are a lot of references in this movie that seem to be there just to make it seem more intelligent, and a lot of dialog that just seems to go round and round. So overall I was kind of disappointed.
What GiTS2 does have is plenty of amazingly beautiful imagery and perhaps the most impressive CGI I have seen in a couple of years. Coupled with a haunting soundtrack and great audio effects, Inoccence could have been something special if it just wasn't so darn smart..
I could only recommend this to hardcore anime geeks, uber intelligent people who will get all the references and be able to follow it all, or people who like looking at pretty things.
