The movie had it's highs and lows. I mean honestly my expectations were extremely low to begin with, and hey the movie did have things going for it. Definitely better than absolute garbage.
Past the cool intro scene, the first ten to thirty minutes are embarrassing. The dialogue is BAD, like cheese bad at first. It improves and actually has some decent dialogue later though. Personally I thought it was obnoxious to have her on screen in her robotic birthday suit several times. It's like a near- skin toned deal that isn't atomically correct, thank God. The director's focus on her appearance was irritating and embarrassing, especially when you have to defend the movie.
The director did however exercise some AMAZING shots when it came to the fighting, the virtual world, the slums were freak'in beautiful. The city is meh but cool. The cinematography was gorgeous like the director was ACTUALLY capturing art all the time. I'm not talking shallow over beautified shit like 'Ultra Violet', like the footage is actually really impressive.
The 'terrorist' was in my opinion awesome, his speech glitch and his tragic background. The Major's mysterious origin is the deepest thing in the movie. Honestly it moves fast, it felt like a 90 minute movie because there wasn't that much complication in it. It's a story you could tell back in about five to ten minutes.
The spider tank was wicked and so was her epic stand-off (if you've seen the original you know what I'm talking about), it is grizzly.
I don't understand why the old man had to be the only one with subtitles but it was interesting.
Over-all I was fairly impressed. I was merely nervous about scenes like the one in the club when she was surrounded by a few creeps. One was LITERALLY slimy looking, which was pretty good I'll give em' that. Batou was well casted, everyone was pardon the terrible female doctor and the actual villain. (The first two people that speak in the beginning)
NOT A DISASTER, it was alright.
Had some cheese like in the end the major was standing on the roof saying, "I know what my purpose is now." Blah, go see it. Not the thing you want to spend money on if you only go for the huge blockbusters, but it's a interesting night out.
