Well, as far as visual eye candy movies go, it can't be worse than transformers... plot wise... right?

"larger reasons" ?
Is there some controversy? Glad the reviews are positive. I'd probably see it either way because of the anime, but its motivation to catch it in the theater

Go see it, but I understand if you won't for larger reasons.

The Indiewire review reminds me a lot of one of the French reviews you posted. Basically visually stunning but lacking depth in story. I think that's what we get for blending themes, based on what I know of the franchise, from across the franchise rather than focusing on any one particular aspect of it.
FWIW, Motoko's origin was somewhat explored in the Stand Alone Complex's 2nd Gig. Which this film seems to deal with to some degree based on the trailers and reviews. I'm wondering how that will translate to film as to exploring it over several episodes.
What I meant was that generally if Motoko isn't teamed with Batou, she's teamed with Togusa or Batou is teamed with Togusa. Or the three of them together. In the film, they used the new rando chick whose name I can't remember in his place at the club. Leaving him to basically just be there as "hey we know you wanted to see Togusa, so here he is" for a role.FatZilla said:
It was Pazu they replaced with the random black chick (Prolly a PC millennial reason behind this ****) rather than Togusa. His character was alright but he got maby 2-3 mins of screen time the whole movie. Hell the entire section 9 team was basically ignored story wise. They only focused on the major, batou and aramaki.
This movie was terrible.
