Not great but not a bad movie either. Better than the first. I'm a big fan of GITS:SAC but not the first movie. Fans of the first movie will probably like this one though. I thought the story and dialogue were somewhat interesting but there were scenes of just background that seemed to take forever and felt like time filler to me. Like the first movie, the action was pretty sparce but it was impressive when it happened. I'll probably watch it again to take in all the details that I missed the first time around.
