After over a decade since the first (and last) time watching it, just finished the original Ghost in the Shell movie.
So, unpopular opinion moment--and everyone's entitled to their opinion, so please refrain from getting up in arms about mine--Dull. As. Ditch-water. I'm sorry, but to me, it really was. Too much talking, dedicated to info-dumping; not enough happening. It felt more like an hour and a half of commentary on existentialism than an actual plotline. No wonder I couldn't remember jack about it. ._.
So yeah, sorry, but that's my take on it. I can only hope the series that came out later took the positive elements, improved on them, and thus, improved on the narrative as a whole. Also hoping the live-action movie proves interesting, too.
