Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Mamoru Oshii's landmark Ghost in the Shell (1995) largely defined the cyberpunk genre and influenced the Matrix films in the U.S. The long-awaited sequel continues the adventures of Batou, Major Kusanagi's former assistant, who was left behind when she disappeared into the cyber-realm of the Net. With his new human partner, Togusa, Batou investigates a series of bloody murders involving gynoids, robots with sexual functions. The case leads them to the headquarters of the Locus Solus company, where Batou uncovers the evil secret behind the creation of the gynoids. Innocence includes some staggeringly beautiful CG images, especially a parade depicting characters from Chinese mythology. Oshii contrasts this glittering beauty with a Blade Runner-esque dystopia. But even his skill as a director can't disguise the fact that the underdeveloped story and flat characters are far less interesting than the opulent visuals. (Rated PG-13: graphic violence, violence against women, brief nudity, profanity, alcohol and tobacco use.) --Charles Solomon

This movie looks good but is unwatchable due to the lack of a English vocal dub, what a disaster. Sub-titles are one thing, but, come on now, not on anime of this quality, there is too much visually to take in besides reading dialogue! Oof!

The thing that bothered me the most about this movie is the PG-13 rating, which you can tell in the movie they strived for. No gore at all! Not that gore is the number one factor in an anime, but it feels like a more kid friendly version of the first movie. Also, with Studio Ghibli being involved, I thought the animation would be better.

...because I returned the DVD and got a non-captioned version. So to all you people who insist on filling up page after page of complaints about the captions...STOP IT! I went scrolling through the 1-star reviews looking for differing opinions on the movie, and all people could talk about was Dreamwork's screwup.
Let me also preface this by saying - I don't mind that there's no English dub. And no, I don't speak Japanese, but I like the sound of it. Would hearing dozens of Confucian-lite quotes ... Read More

If you've seen the first series, Stand Alone Complex, this movie will bore you. If you've only seen the movie and are looking for another one, then it's ok to watch once.
Most of the movie is a collage of ideas from SAC. Worth watching, once, or if you just have to have every DVD which sways "Ghost in the Shell" on it. Otherwise, shrug it off. There isn't a single original idea in here.

I have to agree with the folks who complained about the fact that the ONLY version we got of this feature-length animation film is one in Japanese with subtitles... to Everything. There is too much going on in this movie to have to pay attention to Reading for almost two hours! Grrr. And you have to read Fast! Because the lines go by so fast that I sometimes had to hit the pause button just to make sure I could read what was on the screen before it moved on to the next line. Imagine watching a whole ...
