I watched and loved the original animai film. this one looks poor in comparison, i thought scarlett johnanssen would be good in it, but sorry she looks like a poor major. go and watch the original. and watch aikira while you are at it. and play final fantasy 7!

Hollywood, the hero wins, makes love with love interest, overcomes evil, and walks off. Unless Quentin Tarantino. But he is influenced heavily by watching Asian movies.

I'm sure I am over simplifying it, but Hollywood (non indie) is about the box-offcie, turns movies into PG versions, etc, etc.

A movie that so so not Hollywood, for instance...

I could point out a whole bunch, but that would be all spoilers.

I do not know about the Hollywood version though, if they kept the same shit. Anyone who watched them both?
Why would you remake it? The orginal was gripping viewing enough.....

I saw the trailer for this before watching John Wick 2. The CGI was out of this world good in the trailer, just looked flawless.

I know nothing about the source material but I fancied it. Reminded me of Blade Runner, The Fifth Element, Ex-Machina. There were more but I cant remember, I love all of those movies and this seems to be getting the right treatment... so it might be good.

Yeah, I see no need to watch the remake.
I watched it cold, no idea what I was getting into. Just the name rang a bell so I watched it.

Christ, shocking isnt the word. Great movie, but, not for everyone I dont think.

I just watched the first 5 minutes. I now know where Hideo Kojima got a load of his ideas from if the original had any of this imagery in... he is a well known anime lover.

I wanna watch it after that now...
