and they flunked hard on said cost, and most of it are used for promotion, lol.

Tachikoma? what are you talking bout? I'm expecting the 1995 movie since the advertising materials are based on that and I prefer to keep that movie (1995 GITS) and it's sequel(2nd Movie) as something different from Stand Alone Complex that focused more on thriller mystery rather than adressing philoshopical question. I don't mind if they took liberty on it however like how you think that the cringeworthy ness in a sense is the spirit of Power Ranger, I believe the existensial question are the "ghost" of 1995 GITS and honestly Hollywood already created tons of such Movie such as Inception, Interstellar, Arrival or that another movie of Sarchozy(?) x Leo that I forgot the title.

I'm not expecting it to be filled with hours of philoshopical Q&A (or Koan if you know what is that), however at the very least I'm not happy they replace the whole cyborg body thingie into something idiotic like "I'm created for Justice". let's be honest how in the name of F*ck did Major arrived at that conclusion??? She's kidnapped, remade into weapon, found her identity, choose to stay as killing machine for Goverment, and she calls that justice? I mean where's the judicial system? who control section 9? all I see is that they're free reign special police who have the license to kill anyone anywhere anytime. Okay I get it, that's hollywood style, that's how 90% of hollywood action movie are.. however this is GITS so try to stick to the script a little. but i'm guessing office politics are too boring for western audience..

Alright I admit GITS are my entry to anime world, as young idiot I love the question of existensialism so I found GITS to be interesting piece of "illustration".. so I might be too harsh.. or not.. pretty sure I overlooked small details I overlooked A LOT of small details, I'm not complaining bout alternate ending or other trivvial stuff, however I cannot overlook the way they scrapped the "core" of the series. You take the core and what's left are just some sci-fi movie inspired by GITS slapped with GITS label for marketing.

In the first place I already said this to my friends before we watched the premierre.. GItS already inspired dozens of Sci-Fi after him, and so does the planned AKIRA or old Sci-Fi works so ironically people gonna say the world and plot as cliche nowadays, especially as you said since Matrix (inspired by GItS) already explored the theme with better way to connect to the audience. However I'm hoping that they at least keep the social conflict and consequences on the movie, and at least keep a bit of the original way of exploring said topics. That way at the very least it won't be outdone by GItS predecessor. However now that those topics are nowhere to be found what left are only some cliche stuff we already saw and done better by something else...

At the very least it should be a nice movie for those who are unfamiliar with GItS, and I admit I love the visual even with limited budget. However I doubt any fans of the 1995 GItS will love it, at least I don't. I'm fine with the whole movie thingie if they didn't slap GItS to the title that is.. and seriously i'm still way better than my friends who watched it with me.. they never even touched the less known 2nd movie and yet act like everything bout the movie are wrong. Well we did "re-fresh" our memory the day before by rewatching the movie again so that might add salt to the wound,, afterall the 1995 are still fresh in our memory back then.

They should rename that movie as Mardock Scramble-lite ver IMO, lol. afterall that movie dealt with identity search too.
