*last night at work, talking to friend about GitS*
"Hey, reviews should be up, let's see how it's fairing"
Me: "probably will be bad, let me check rotten tomatoes"
Me: "uh, wow, it's at 72% right now, with 35 critic reviews"
Friend: "wait, REALLY? That's surprisingly good"
Me: "seems the general consensus is that it "boasts cool visuals and a compelling central performance from Scarlett Johansson, even if the end result lacks the magic of the movie's classic source material.""
Friend: "....yeah, that sounds about right"
Though granted, this was at 5:30 in the morning, & as of now, it's at 58%.
............I guess you should say it's a GHOST of its anime self & a MAJOR disappointment that left it a SHELL of its former self.
