The Live-Action Ghost In The Shell Is Actually Way Better Than It Gets Credit For

Ghost in the Shell may be a classic anime, but the 2017 live-action movie is not quite considered a classic, even though it certainly had its merits. The Ghost in the Shell manga emerged in 1989, defining cyberpunk culture for many at the time and resulting in the iconic 1995 anime movie. The follow-up movie, 2004's Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence had mixed reviews and has a 65% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. And yet, out of all the Ghost in the Shell movies, the American live-action picture may be the most misunderstood.
