Movie Reviews of Ghost in the Shell S.A.C. - 2nd Gig (Complete Collection)

Movie Review: good movie
Summary: 4 Stars

I'd have to agree with others who have described this movie as more of an extended television episode. It's not got the same impact as the previous movies, but it's still quite good. Good story, familiar characters, I enjoyed it!

Movie Review: Ghost In The Shell Is So Overrated
Summary: 2 Stars

I keep hearing that GITS is one of the best, deepest, and most thought provoking animes of all time, and everytime I hear it, I keep wondering why.
The series does have its good points, but I've seen both this movie and the "2nd Gig" and they both feel like something is missing.
Just what makes GITS so appealing anyway? Is it good as a military series? Is it he Action? The characters? The themes and philosophical points behind it?
If that's what you're looking for, you should check out Full Metal Panic, especially The Second Raid; It will SMOKE Ghost in the Shell in all the aspects mentioned above, but most notably in the "characters" department -the characters from Full Metal Panic actually have charisma.
People keep talking about the depth and philosophical meaning behind Ghost in the Shell, but what does Solid State Society have to offer in these aspects? Mainly, it brings up the role that the elderly play in society, as well as the problem of child abuse...Okay.
Sounds more like political and social than philosophical.
That is precisely where I think Ghost in the Shell fails: It's supposed to be a military anime, but it doesn't feel like one.

Movie Review: Top notch!
Summary: 5 Stars

I have always been a fan of Ghost in a shell since the very first movie. Solid State Society is an awesome movie, I think one of the best so far. The writing is good, follows the series very well. I loved the music. And if you get the limited edition version you get the sound track on CD, and an extras DVD, plus the main movie DVD. If you are a fan of the series this is a must have. I keep watching it over and over.

This is not a movie for young childern. It is violent, dramatic, and fast paced.

I think all anime fans would like it. As a fan I personally recomened it!

Movie Review: New Season perhaps....???
Summary: 4 Stars

For any "Ghost in the Shell" fan, this is a must see, period. It really is pretty good. I don't like people giving things away so I won't either. Now I know it has a movie time frame already but I thought they could have gone longer even still... Not to say the ending seemed rushed but it downgraded the movie for me from 5 stars to 4. It Certainly wasn't the last "Ghost in the Shell: 2nd Gig" DVD(s). Those had more of a "Lord of the Rings" type of time frame/feel since the episodes were all interconnected. Also it seemed depressing to think, this was or could be the last Ghost in the Shell to come out... Hopefully not. They did set it up for another season/movie if they want to but no word from Japan as of yet that I know of... The DVD extras explain how they made the movie and how for the first time ever a major automobile manufacturer (Nissan/Infiniti) allowed prototypes to be put into an anime. That in turn created a large buzz in Japan when the movie came out so Nissan could show off the cars in real life. Being the Nissan Sport Concept & Infiniti Kuraza (2006).
