4/5 good but not great...
  by mc-Hotsauce (look up in the sky ^)
this is not the movie you would expect it to be. yes the movie follows section 9 in their never ending quest to bust the bad guys. the only problem is that motoko(the main character in the series) is not the main character anymore. she is what made the whole series. without her as the lead the story is kind of bland and pushed to seem more than it is. but in all it is a good addition to my full collection of gits dvds. (i have both movies and both seasons) so if your like me and need to complete your collection then yes get it. if you are not then i suggest renting it from somewhere and make your own call on whether or not to buy it.

5/5 Innocence is not to innocent
  by hilander (OKC OK)
As usual Innocence is a wonderfull second GITS movie. Just needs to be done in English, with the regular english cast. This is a series that is intelligent,and very complicated. IT'S NOT FOR KIDS. The graphics are unbelievable. I got tired of trying to see the screen and follow the story with the text covering so much of the fantastic graphics. This is some of the best Manga made. The characters make you want to keep following there adventures.

The Ghost in the Shell series are top notch, the story lines are not for kids, this movie is a great companion to add to your Ghost in the Shell collection.
