Before watching this I heard that Ghost in the Shell was a classic and a must watch. So when I watched it I was expecting something spectucular and did not get that.

Story 7/10
The story of this movie focuses on questions about life such as "What defines life?" and the difference between man and machine. Granted this movie presents these questions well however I think these types of themes have been very overdone in the scifi genrre so it wasn't that new of an idea to me.

Art 7/10
Personally I am not a fan of the art. However I give it a 7 because it is an older anime and when it came out was probably industry standard or better.

Sound 8/10:
I saw this dubed and was impressed because even though it was an older anime the dub fit really well with the charcters. One thing that sticks with me is that the main charcter spoke robotically that probably was done on purpose and can be talked about with the themes.

Charcters: 6/10:
Imo the poorest part of the movie. They were very 2d charcters and for a movie that is rated as a classic expected a lot more here

Enjoyment 8/10:
Being a sci-fi fan I did enjoy this movie and I don't mind thinking deeply about things either so it was still entertaining to watch.

Overall 7/10
I do think it was a good movie and a good anime, however I expected much more for being such a classic.
