Ghost In The Shell turned out to be visually impressive but thematically shallow. Nowhere near the anime version. Why can't Americans understand that they don't do well with adaptations of Philosophical Japanese Anime. God this made me remember their Death Note version (shiver). Anyway apart from the white washing of the cast (although Pilou Asbaek did great) and I like Scarlett Johanson now, the most disturbing thing about the film is that it spoonfeeds some ideas to the viewer and it is really disturbing. I actually fell asleep for about 3-5 minutes during the viewing and didn't even bother to rewind.
