Opinions,feelings about the clips? Me, I will decide when the movie comes out next March

Pros:

• It looks like they're at least going for an original storyline. That clip with the circle of people wasn't from any of the Ghost in the Shell anime adaptations as far as I know. On the other hand, the anime is as far as my GitS knowledge extends, so maybe it's a story arc from the manga
• They seem to have nailed the unique GitS aesthetic, particularly in the clip with the android geisha
• It doesn't look like it's going to be over the top Hollywood action, these clips all portray it as a much more slow and cerebral movie which is exactly what GitS should be

Cons:

• Not sure how I feel about the guy who I can only assume is supposed to be Chief Aramaki performing what appears to be an execution. That seems extremely far outside his character
• Really not digging Scarlet Johanson as The Major, but to be fair I don't think there's a woman on this earth fit to properly portray her

Verdict:

We'll wait and see. I might actually see this one in theaters if the rest of the trailers have the same feeling as these clips.
