Action Level: 4/5
Most of the action in this movie takes place between cyborgs who can do incredible things.  Rest assure, there's a little chance that a child will not try to do things that are shown on the movie (unless the child can find a huge bazooka and have wires coming out of his/her head).

Romance Level: 2/5
This is a deep, almost dark anime with no room for the lovey-dovey stuff you might want to expect.  But if you look, you might be able to see a kinship develop.  But you really have to look.

Comedy Level: 1/5
No slapstick, but there are a couple of wise cracks made by some of the characters.  That's fine by me.

Adult Level: 4/5
It's your basic full-frontal nudity, bodies exploding, robots being ripped apart like newspapers, and graphic violence that makes Celebrity Deathmatch look like Pokemon (I kid you not).

Drama Level: 5/5
Perfect, simply perfect.  Kusanagi's struggle with herself is (in my opinion) the highlight of the movie.  Does she accept her fate at the end of the movie?  I guess you'll have to wait for the sequel... oh wait, maybe you won't.

Overall Level: 4/5
A brilliantly played masterpiece.  Ghost In The Shell blends intense action with gripping drama.  While I only saw the VHS version, it's got me hooked on the series.
