You can say you enjoyed it all you like but when you say good film full stop and rate it 8.5 people are more than justified to critise.
I'm not a big anime fan but know a bit about Gits and if you could come out of it thinking the main character was a robot this adaption clearly did a crap job with the originals themes. I know i certainly won't be watching it. Hate dumbed down generic Hollywood versions of things.
Well I do think it is a good film, it is not perfect, but my opinion is that it is a good film. Your opinion may differ, you have your reasons, I have given mine.
So what is there to criticise about? Is it to criticise that your opinion is more valid than mine?
It is your prerogative to not watching it either, I won't force you and won't even try to change your prejudice against a movie you haven't seen base on my opinion that you clearly don't even agree on....so on one hand you think my opinion is invalid, yet it has enough weight to stop you watching it....okay. You either think my opinion and reasoning is valid and its a good film or you don't.
btw, when i said robot, I mean cyborg, people and society in an age where they have embraced technology, the movie sets this out at the start. I didn't want to do spoiler tags but if you want me to go full on spoiler, I can do.
And let me gets this out, I know FULL well this movie doesn't go into the depth of the original, and again, comparing to the original. Which I am not, this movie, as it stands, it does the job. People who are most upset seems to be the one who can't let themselves enjoy this movie without drawing it back to the original. They can't separate it one from the other and have this need to tell people because it doesn't compare to the original, this is immediately a bad movie. There is also a need to tell other people about how bad this is because of it. Like they are the guardian of the original movie and they are offended this is made and have to voice it to the world this is bad and it must be bad because of 1) the white wash element. 2) it is dumbed down and wasn't the same exact movie 3) it exists.
This is miles better than Attack on Titan effort, miles better than Dragonball Evolution effort. This could have been so bad, and this isn't. It's not perfect, and of course, I don't think it is a 8.5 movie but I gave it 8.5 for enjoyment. I came away feeling satisfied.
What's wrong with that?
