Reviews

⭐ 6/10

April 26, 2016

Ghost in the Shell plots have always being really complicated and difficult to follow.

This movie is not an exception but the plot this time is artificially complicated and without much sense that allows to follow.

For the rest, I'm not a fan of the new style but I acknowledge its own right for evolution, I would just wish that the story would have been smarter.
