Ghost in the Shell (2017)

My thought processes were something like this... If they can't even adhere to an actor the sufficiently portrays what we'd expect from a character called Major Motoko Kusanagi then what chance to the deeper aspects of the manga have? ...and I've steadfastly stuck to this thought throughout the making of the film right up to the point I hit "play" on my Blu-ray player. Now this isn't to say I didn't want to like the film, I really truly did because I WANT to like films, I want to spend a few hours enjoying them and the absolute last thing I want to do is waste those hours making myself annoyed or even angry by what I see. As I said to a friend I discussed this with, I want to keep my anticipation for the film reasonable, to give myself a greater chance of liking it when I saw it. This is exactly what I like to do. So anyway... I hit "play".
