GHOST IN THE SHELL
Did they change the plot of the story? I don't remember it being about a conspiracy. I had thought it was an AI finding Major because of their similarities. Maybe I'm remembering it incorrectly.
Anyway, I didn't like it. Simply put, it was boring. Clint Mansell, the soundtrack artist, and whoever was the DP are the only reasons to check out this movie. It's gorgeous visually and audibly, but the original has a better story, pacing, action, dialogue, and characters.
There is one addition I did like. It's Major hiring a prostitute. I thought it was a clever way to show her disconnect to humans. If that scene and the OST were transposed into the original film, it'd be the perfect version to watch.
