Anton Bitel Film4 the absence of Oshii's magical touch ensures that it is all surface sheen without any deeper brilliance or, if you prefer, all shell without a ghost to give it a poetic soul. Aug 15, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member The greatest 01 hour: and 45 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ages 17 and older!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member A narrative that clearly fits an hour long run time is stretched for a two hour runtime in this beautifully animated and well-acted sequel to Ghost In the Shell's first television series. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Terrible horrible sequel. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Terrible horrible sequel. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/02/20 Full Review Audience Member I watched Solid State Society in between Stand Alone Complex and the original GITS. I want to rate SSS up because it is GITS but I have to say it is definitely a cut below the rest of the franchise, mainly in terms of plotline. The one exception is the chilling twist at the end of SSS. If you are a fan of GITS then of course this is a must watch but keep your expectations moderate. While I find SSS to be so-so as far as GITS goes, it is still better than most of what is out there. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Solid State Society thankfully maintains the series' strong, mature storytelling while engaging the viewer with insane animation and striking art.
