Imho Hollywood will lack the ball to create a highly controvertial movie and tries not to cross boundaries but to please everyone.
It will neither be hot or cold but lukewarm.
Ghost in the Shell is an abomination. Sure, it's visually pleasant (and rips off the first anime for it) but the story is so awfully weak, it's a travesty of a movie.
Bladerunner, I don't know. The latest trailer made it look like another mindless action movie with some philosophical elements in it, which are predictable and already done a million times over. I hope this movie does not turn out to be merely a repeat of the first movie with better visuals. (although the first movie had excellent visuals too.)
I had high hopes for a lot of movies this year, so far, none have been good. (Wonderwoman, The Dark Tower, Valerian, Ghost in the Shell) Maybe this one will break that pattern, here's hoping!
They only movie that pleased my this years was Ghost in the Shell. I don't know the anime series or movies. I know that they were there and the music video "King in my Castle" but that's it. What can I say: I thought Scarlett was a great major, the visuals were stunning if not ground breaking and the story was absolutely ok.
Arrival was good nut not that good, and Passengers was ok. Lawrence is a bit like Toris Amos in her later years: great talent but always failing to transform this talent into great albums (movies).
And if Mother will be the next big thing...
