Anime Saturdays: Ghost in the Shell Movie

We decided to watch the runner up movie today. now I've seen this first series but not the movie before. Just wanted to note how much the movies fails compared to the series.

Also, I wanted to open up our activities discussion threads in the regular sections so we didn't limit discussion strictly to our group who is watching these movies every week. Since I'm sure there's plenty of other people who have seen these movies and would like to discuss them as well.
