After its international debut on March 31, many people wrote about how bad Ghost in The Shell Hollywood version is. I wonder if that's because they're biased or it really IS awful.
As someone who have watched the original anime version, it's just normal that I have high expectation on this live-action adaptation. Since Hollywood always changes everything from Asia to suit their taste, I don't allow myself to set too high expectation.
Until I write this, I haven't watched Scarlet Johansson's Ghost in The Shell yet. Probably tomorrow, if time allows. Before facing the reality tomorrow, I'll just entertain myself with the first 9-minute of the film which was shared as PlayStation Store pre-order's promotion.

Hopefully it won't turn out as bad as people say it is....
