Did it filter you?

I was so triggered by it murdering the aesthetic of the first film, the one thing it really had going for it, that I never even considered if it had a plot or not.

I watched it and thought it was thoroughly mid.

For as iconic as the first film is, nothing else in the franchise has been more than "OK" to me.

it's simply not a good movie. it felt like pretentious second year film students tried to one up the original and they failed spectacularly

Saw it twice in theaters 2004. Worthy follow up to a classic.

I had already read most of the philosophers whose disjointed quotes compose 98% of the dialogue.

The quote spam wasn't as egregious as i remembered the second time around. Not much to complain about other than that. Maybe the 3D in a few places.

I watched both movies back to back for the first time this year and I'm confused why many of the people who praise the first movie are so down on it. Not a single person recommended the sequel to me like the first movie, suggesting that it was a swing and a miss and skippable in the GitS anthology. It's a different aesthetic and the story is more plodding but the sheer quality lives up to the first and the story is incomplete without it. The experience has made me trust oldfag opinions less.
