I went to the movies with a friend of mine to check out the sequel to Ghost in The Shell. What a mistake that was. This movie was sooooo mind numbingly BORING and confusing, it was all I could do from tearing my eye lids off. Wait, first of all, let's back up here. It turns out that I didn't even have to pay for the ticket because there was nobody there to tear them. I could've just waltzed on in without a freakin' ticket! What a waste of 7 bucks!
Anyway, back to the movie--the animation was beautiful. It was a perfect marriage of traditional cel animation and cgi. Too bad it was utterly wasted on some god awful pretentious plot and just really bad writing. The characters spent most of the time quoting various books, including the Old Testament, Descartes and a bunch of other dead people I've never heard of. God I hated that! Just because they memorize some random phrases in some old book and apply to a real life situation, we're supposed to believe that they're so deep and sophisticated?? Bullshit. It's called not being creative enough to come up with your own dialogue.
There were a few brief flashes of actual action, including a relatively cool shoot out scene, but that was about it. It was just constant blah blah blah blah blah and some more blah.
When the damn thing was over I walked out confused with a slight headache and a sickening feeling that I was raped up the ass with a tree branch, but wasn't quite sure because I was drugged and the only evidence I had was a bleeding anus. That pretty much sums up this movie--a great big bloody tree branch shoved up the ass.
