Mediocre reviews, but as a fan of Mamoru Oshii’s original film, I was completely happy with this film. Beautiful details, interesting fleshing out of the original characters, and 90% faithful to the original storyline. Even if you don’t want to see anything changed, it’s worth seeing just for the frame by frame live action reproduction of the intro sequence (in the train).

Oh, but you might want to prepare yourself for the unexpected CGI demons. They are straight out of the 90s. Twilight vampires they are not.
