<description><![CDATA[I  couldn't bring myself to see it. I used to own the Dark Horse comic series. The art was great, but I flipped them for a profit. I never actually read the series or cared. I like Scarlett Johansson, but I'm tired of seeing her so much. I feel bad saying that because I said the same thing about Bill Paxton a week before he died. The effects looked interesting from the trailer, but I'm glad I read your review. It makes me glad I didn't see it. Scarlett Johansson isn't enough eye candy for me to sit through the movie. I'm also very tired of used up movie phrases like "Everything you've been told is a lie..." or "The war had been going on for centuries..." This movie falls into the "everything is a lie" cliche. Yawn!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Despite stunning graphics throughout the movie, "Ghost in the Shell," eventually runs out of steam and plot. In this film Scarlett Johansson stars as Major, a robotic humanoid in a futuristic Japan, who has only her brain left from her original body. This film resembles "RoboCop" in many ways and the movie, "Robocop," did indeed come out two years before the manga of this film was first published.<br/>I will not bore you with the many similarities, but I will mention that in the movie "Robocop," it is drumed into the audience members minds that Robocop is not able to harm anybody in the top hierarchy of the corporation that created him called OCP. At the end of the movie, "Robocop," this command is key to one of the great final scenes of the film. In "Ghost in the Shell" it is emphasized many times that Major has to give her permission for the corporation to get inside her body to do repairs, but at the end of the movie when this plot ploy is utilized it amounts to nothing as far as increasing what could have been the greatness of one of the final scenes.<br/>Bringing up the final scenes of this movie again, I will say that the film loses it's way and gets confusing when what looked like a minor character suddenly gets balls and basically does Major's job for her. This comes completely out of the blue and takes away from Major's heroics and "Ghost in the Shell's" catharsis.<br/>Even though this movie has problems, Scarlett Johansson does indeed know how to fill out a skin-tight suit, so many male viewers may not mind that "Ghost in the Shell" has some failings. And the CGI is fantastic.]]></description>
