Ghost in the Shell (2017)
In defence, spoiler free.
I gave the film 10/10, because I always consider what the film is, it's context, it's genre while rating. As for the films based on anime there isn't much to look up to and I would love to see other titles treated with as much respect as this one...(cough) "Dragonball Evolution" (cough)... You can really immerse yourself into the world of GITS. It is visually beautiful. If you've seen the anime you'll easily recognise the places and characters, and that's just itself so enjoyable for the fan of the original. The plot is changed, but still familiar. The themes are not as deep as in the original, but let's be honest how many people would go to see a SF film based on anime if they wouldn't make it easy enough to digest for a regular movie-goer? I see it rather as a single step (finally in a good direction) and deeper themes may be introduced further along the way. Look how far the comic book movies got, and how acceptable it is to be a fan of them nowadays. Give this film a chance whether you're a SF/action fan, Scarlett Johansson fan, or a fan of the original.
