Ghost in the Shell is visually dazzling and full of its own Hollywood enhancements.
Unfortunately, it forgot the original’s soul.
I doubt it can be understated just how visually spectacular Rupert SandersGhost in the Shellreally is at times.
Pulling from a beloved manga and anime, the film is crafted with maximum showmanship by Hollywood alchemists.
The eponymousGhost in the Shellis a woman who goes by the name of Major.
In a different life that she does not remember, she was a human being.
This is the shell.
And all of themmuchbetter.
Sanders keeps things moving with a stylishness one would expect from the director of 2012sSnow White and the Huntsman.
Ghost in the Shellopens on Friday, March 31.
