Ghost in the Shell (2017) Review - 7/10 Rating
We have rated Ghost in the Shell 7 out of 10, because while it struggled with the impossible pressure of adapting such an influential manga and anime property, it still delivers stunning cyberpunk visuals and an interesting atmosphere. Scarlett Johansson gives the Major a cold, detached presence that fits the story’s themes about identity and humanity. The neon-lit cityscapes, holograms and futuristic technology look fantastic on screen, even if the story never quite reaches the philosophical depth of the original source material. For cyberpunk fans and manga adaptation enthusiasts, it remains visually fascinating even with its flaws.
