I'm loathe to compare GHOST IN THE SHELL to BLADE RUNNER, but the cinematography is that good; what a shame that the comparison has to end with the candy wrapper. Open up GHOST and it's a mess. I’m angry that such lush aesthetics were squandered on this anemic script. Scarlett Johansson turns in her most wooden performance as Major, a human brain in a synthetic body. Perhaps she decided to play the character as an emotionless robot. If she did, she should have rethought her approach. Other characters are similarly misused. It’s impossible to care about any of them. I’m a huge fan of the animated series, and this turkey bears little resemblance to its progenitor. I really don’t mind the story being changed, but if you’re going to change it, it had better be as good as the original.
