Just finished downloading, looks cool but damn the announcer sucks.

That trailer sucks ass. Its like a random collection of scenes with some nearly confused ramblings about the plot. From that trailer you'd think you were about to watch I RObot.

 

[Naked Snake]

Anyone have the link to the previous trailer? I've only seen the first one with the song but I think another one came out after it that I missed.

 

[White Man]

Not as good as the first film. It suffers from a very Matrix Reloaded-esque stumble of trying too hard to capture the mystique of the first film without establishing its own identity. Cool action sequences, though, which is what the majority probably want from a GitS film.

 

[Shogmaster]

Even if it's only half as good as the first film, it's still worth my time and money.

 

[White Man]

Well, those cool action sequences are really cool.

 

[Naked Snake]

I own the first one and will keep it for it's "ground breaking" attributes but I only watched it 2 or 3 times and I think it's a borefest.

The Matrix might have ripped it off, but to me it's much more enjoyable to watch.

I hope I like the second one more.

When it was premiered at Cannes, apparently 1/3 to half of the audience left before it was over.

Wouldn't surprise me. The reaction when I saw it was decidedly mixed. There's enough out of place, boring, heavy handed philosophizing to even turn off MGS2 fanboys. If it weren't for the action, it definitely wouldn't be worth it.

 

[Dead]

I dont see how this can be even slower and more plodding than Oshiis Avalan, but im still looking forward to it, if anything it should be pretty nice visually, but not even that saves Avalon for me....well see I guess :/

On the subject of GITS I picked up the first DVD of Stand Alone Complex its pretty fucking great, definately looking forward to the rest since I missed the fansubs...

 

[neptunes]

it's comming to theaters to (thank you dreamworks)

now I have a movie to look towards this fall.

 

[robot]

Has Appleseed been picked up for a U.S release yet? That movie looks craaaaaaaazy.

 

[Uncle Dukey]

Geneon is currently planning to release Appleseed theatrically this fall in the US (With a DVD sometime next year..).

 

[Jim Bowie]

I saw the GITS2 trailer when I saw Napoleon Dynamite. I guess I'm the only one who thought it looked sweet... it didn't give much away about the movie, but just enough to make me see it; kind of like a good trailer should.

I'm not suprised that people left at Cannes. I don't think that the Cannes going crowd are anime buffs, even more so ones that are psyched about a sequel to GITS.

Lastly, you are completely right about the announcer, bogg. Guy sounds like he's the announcer for the Disney Channel. I mean, I wouldn't know, because I don't watch the Disney Channel, but... erm... damn.

 

[Meier]

Whoa, you actually saw this trailer in the theatre? That's pretty cool.

 

[distantmantra]

I saw Innocence at the Seattle International Film Festival.

The film looked incredible, but the story was only average. Then again, I'm one of those who hated the first film, but loves Stand Alone Complex.
