The uppercut part still seems a tiny bit weird to me but I honestly can't find a reason to hate on this movie at the moment. I'm a bit more lax than others when it comes to adaptions and their changes, so even if this movie doesn't try to totally emulate the anime as long as it's made well I'm sure I will enjoy it
Yes, yes you should.

Looks good to me! And if it's not? Oh well. The original still exists.

Never seen gits, but this looks great!

Looks great tbh and it'll look even better visually once it comes out. They'll probably iron out some cgi.
It's hard to have an opinion on it, it's not greatly edited trailer. Visually it's not bad, but it also lacks edge. Looks too clean and sanitized, maybe?
And Scarlett looks to be really wrong in the role, and it has nothing to do with her ethnicity.
Every time a Hollywood exec says that about a remake, it turns out to be bullshit. Every time, lol.

This is PG-13? Shit!
This is great though. They're smart to at least reuse that piece of music.
When adapting/remaking a movie with such a strong visual identity, it would behoove the people in charge to also reuse their framing/composition style. The shelling sequence there is good because it mirrors the original so much. The other ones in the trailer not so much. That scene with Motoko jumping off a wall looks like a third-rate Matrix ripoff, got slowmo and everything.

I don't know what is happening in the above picture and I have seen GITS multiple times...
Otherwise this looks like a "play it safe" adaption of the Manga/ Anime.

This better have the making of a cyborg theme in there at the start!
It is the future of ads: even more annoying.
What's the music at the start of this, super familiar?

Man, this was a painful watch for me. I've seen plenty of my favorite films being remade already but this time for some reason, I was cringing so hard watching this trailer.
There are some beautiful shots but I don't think the esthetic really translates all that well to live-action. And the movie is going to be about the Major finding out about her past? Who gives a shit? Her origin story in Arise is pretty cool but it's a fairly minor part of the GitS universe, there are so many more interesting ways to approach her character...
Oh well, at least it looks better than Dragonball Evolution but I'm bummed.

Yup, to many emotions on her face. Shen can't quite look stoic it seems...besides motoko should look like a gimnast or something and she doesn't to either...
Movie seems ok otherwise
Yeah sorry but no. Reminds me way too much of Avatar: The last Airbender. You simply cannot recreate the powerful images of an anime/manga in RL movies. It feels so cringeworthy. Maybe it will be a good movie and everyone who hasn't seen the anime will like it but it's definitly not for me so far.

I suspect they are holographic adverts.

Pretty simple: the first movie, then the first season of Stand Alone Complex.
I love the second film but it's an acquired taste.
Just keep in mind that there is very little action in GitS and it's very slow. It's more about mood and the exploration of various sci-fi concepts.
Just start with the two main anime movies. GiTS and GiTS: The Puppet Master

I looked at the pic before reading your post and went "Wait, is that Tricky?". Is he doing any music for it?

Right. Also, it looks like an unfinished shot to me.

Not going to lie. I love the look of that.

Even the cynic in me can't deny this looks cool. Yeah there are bits and pieces that I'm kind of iffy about, but I would say overall, the art direction continues to be excellent and really get the tone right. I was afraid it'd go for the typical sanitized Hollywood future, but it seems to have that somewhat grungy, Hong Kong x Tokyo aesthetic that the first movie went for and it's translated over well.
Still think I'd prefer someone other than ScarJo, and Batou's actor's head is still so small, but I like it

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
Train wreck waiting to happen... Do not want.
The only positive that I saw was at least the world looks good. But the casting dear god.

She's not plump, obviously, but I don't think she has the body shape or height to pull off that sort of bodysuit look.
Her real problem is that soft-spoken kind-of voice she does here, like everywhere else. Doesn't fit at all.
Some of the city shots look pretty cool but it's really missing that grit and decay that drew me to the original movie's setting. Honestly... those huge holograms in the background look more awkward and silly than anything the more I look at them too.
The straight-up shot-for-shot recreations of scenes from the original movie are kinda pointless when it seems like they're just taking properties from the entire series. I dunno. I mean I'll give this a chance because it seems like the creators of this are just as big of fans of the original movie as i am but it also seems like they're also.... kinda missing the mark with what they're trying to go for from what I'm seeing here.

Watch the 95 movie and innocence. Skip everything else.

This has such odd choices for casting. This absolutely looks like a solid adaption though.

The 95 movie + Standalone Complex/2nd Gig. The people saying to watch Innocence just like it because it looks really really nice
I am a huge Ghost in The Shell fan and this looks amazing. It really does and the shelling sequence, the really payed homage to the anime.
Day one for me. I am really hyped.
Well, also the storyline is connected to the manga.

I don't really get that complain. She's a human brain inside a robot body, isn't she?
I think that level of emotion was often shown for her in SAC.
