That's what made the first one so awesome. More action movies need long, blank sections where the characters ponder infinity. Then again, I liked the Avalon, a movie where two thirds of the running time seemed dedicated to watching the heroine ride a bus to and from her apartment so what do I know?
I think another reason people dislike GITS is because it has no relation to the manga (aesthetically especially).I read the manga after I'd seen the movie.Liked them both very much.You should just try to see it as two different things..
I liked Avalon as well so you're not alone. :)
Not a bad soundtrack either.(especially the end credits track)
Yeah, I liked GitS too, and I didn't really mind that it was in a "realistic" style. I really love Shirow's style, and it would have been great to see the movie in that style, but.... ah, I don't know what I'm trying to say. They're both very cool, even though Kusanagi is more attractive in Shirow's stuff.

The movie was a few action scenes with too much psychobabble. Action movies shouldn't be 100% action, but I like some interesting plot conversations, not why the character believes she's a butterfly's dream or whatever.
Psychobabble to some, decent wrtiting to others. Hell, most anime fans consider crap like Hellsing good, so itīs not surprising.
And GITS is not an action movie.
Once again I bask in your superior intellect. Soon I'll have to become super smart so I can appreciate pompous cartoons that take themselves too seriously.
I have no problem with people who like this movie. I just hate people who think they are better than others because their taste in entertainment is so refined!!
Dammit, let's please not have ANOTHER argument thread. I doubt Beto meant anything personal or whatever when he made the comment about people's attention spans. Personally, I agree with him (except I don't know if I'd go to the point of saying I've lost hope in humanity, but...). I do understand what Radish is saying, though. He doesn't want another Matrix Rebloated. Personally, I don't think GitS crossed the line from "thought-provoking" to "pretentious." Watch Waking Life if you want to see something pretentious.
But to everyone- cheeeeeeel. We've had enough fiery BS threads for the time being.

Not all japanese anime is as great as you make it out to seem, and you don't give enough credit to other contry's animation.
I've never said they're all great, just because I don't probably know as many as you.
I was just saying that today, animation scene in terms of quality is mainly japanese, whereas in other (I was speaking of occidental) countries, it seems to have no productions, nor projects as we can see in japan.
That's all. You can debate it, it's just my opinion, as always.
Sorry to all occidental anime fanboys, sorry to their families, and so...
