Innocence revisits imagery from the first film. But this time computer animation pumps everything up to epic proportions. The results are overwhelming.
There's a lot of imagination at work here; too bad just a little bit of it couldn't have been channeled into the creation of a better narrative.

Cette suite directe du premier film GITS réalisée 9 ans plus **** reprend des éléments ça et là des mangas de Shirow et les accommode à sa propre sauce, toujours sous l'égide de Mamoru Oshii qui donne ici tout ce qu'il a en matière de réflexion et de questionnement métaphysique... un vrai festival de citations philosophiques et d'interrogations sur la nature humaine.
Si le Major n'est (forcément) plus là (ou presque...!), son ombre continue de planer comme celle d'un ange gardien du vaste réseau... le réalisateur s'en détache sensiblement, l'utilisant comme un simple Deux ex machina et démontrant par là même qu'elle n'est pas vraiment le personnage central de ce monde et que l'inénarrable Batou accompagné du conciliant Togusa peuvent se débrouiller tout seuls.
En vérité, la "star" est le monde cyberpunk lui-même et ses turpitudes cachées dans cette enquête qui remonte de fil en aiguille jusqu'à l'infâme origine d'une série de meurtres inexpliqués d'humains par des robots de compagnie.
A noter qu'en dépit de sa densité introspective, le film n'est certainement ni barbant ni prétentieux et distille là où il le faut de belles scènes d'action mais également une dose d'humour très appréciable entre Batou et Togusa... et Ishikawa qui fait quelques apparitions.
Comme si cela ne suffisait pas, ce film paradoxalement moins contemplatif que le premier s'offre une direction artistique d'une rare beauté, aidée par l'utilisation de l'image de synthèse pour tout ce qui concerne les décors et les environnements ; seuls les personnages restent en 2 dimensions (hélas). La musique de Kenji Kawai parachève le tout et se révèle aussi hypnotique que peut l'être le film, lequel se met à lorgner du côté de Blade Runner sur pas mal de détails d'ambiance. D'ailleurs, les réflexions sur la nature des robots et des humains ne sont pas sans rappeler quelques préoccupations éminemment ****, de même qu'un passage entier de ce GITS 2 où la réalité et l'illusion de la réalité basculent et se confondent...
Voilà donc un chef-d'oeuvre véritable dont la puissance est toujours intacte et dont l'impact nous laisse toujours émerveillé.

Это просто ВАУ!
Просто всё от рисовки до сюжета выполнено на замечательном уровне. Но сюжет всё же довольно сложный для восприятия получился. Возможно, в силу возраста или так и есть на самом деле, но часть чего-то я не понял.
Достойный сиквел, даже очень, но первая часть для меня была более ровная.

The dark sequel offers gorgeous images, with an updated and stylish design, but its characters' angst gets in the way of storytelling.
Brims with forboding, but it pulses with candy colors and the hum of neon signs.
It points out what's missing in his (Oshii) approach: fluidity of character line, the subtlety of expression that brought humanity to a Warner Bros. cartoon duck or rabbit.
Unfortunately, the outcome here is so over-the-top that it’s going to wind up alienating most everyone that sees it.
Ghost suffers most from a distinct lack of anything, well, cinematic.
The sequel of one of the most intriguing and best written science fiction anime ever, that Ghost in the shell that in 1995 revolutionized forever the way of painting cyberpunk: despite this huge responsibility on its shoulders, this 2004 second act is still able to create perfect, dark and oppressive cyberpunk atmospheres and give them life with solid action and dialogues. Essentially, the best way the brand could go on without prostituting its true nature.

Ghost in the Shell: Innocence was an entertaining watch, and fans of the original film will appreciate the continuity and small touches in reference to the 1995 original. The artwork, sound and most other elements deliver in similar fashion, but the excess of literary quotes, like a high schooler attempting to hit a in-line quote quota in an essay, bog down the film significantly and made the OK plot harder to follow. I doesn't quite match the original, but it is a decent follow-up.

After the original Ghost in the Shell, one of the most highly regarded animated films of all time, they made this movie. This movie is absolutely horrible. I don't want to refer to it by name because it doesn't deserve the title. The pacing is slower than glacial, the dialogue consists entirely of pretentious quote-centric diatribes, the plot and story don't make any sense, some sequences seemingly exist only to confuse the viewer and derail the story while adding nothing to the film. The movie clearly had an insane budget, because the movie takes every single possible opportunity to fellate itself and show off the animation, which is kind of funny because the computer drawn animation is horrible compared to the original's hand-drawn animation. This seriously ranks among the worst movies I've ever seen, it's boring, it's pretentious, it makes no sense, it's almost unwatchable. 2 points go out for the animation and Kenji Kawai's great soundtrack.
