how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score β the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 257 comments (229 from Reddit, 21 from Metacritic, 7 from TMDB reviews) β 40 of them described how it moves.

βThey're all unquestioningly loyal to her in the end of the movie even though she's only been with them a year and supposedly she's been turned by the terrorist.β

βThe spider-tank battle had better pacing and speed in the original, IMO. In the original they take breaks between unloading bullets to show the steam coming from the barrel, the red hot glowing tips, the change of equipment, the tank scanning for Motoko, can even hear rain drops, and heavy breathing. In the 2017 version, it's just another action scene.β

Published reviews, not felt experience β a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
It reviews better than it plays β admired more than it is enjoyed.
βThere are gripping chases and balletic combat scenes, painstakingly realised by Oshiiβs animators, but the mood is mostly cold and melancholic, as Kusanagi broods over the fleshly implications of living in a world of dataβ
Robbie Collin, The Telegraph Β· 100
βIt's not the mega-tech or the shootouts that make Ghost in the Shell memorable, but the ghostliness of it, its ability to convince us that Kusangai - no less than Rutger Hauer's strangely noble android in "Blade Runner" - has a human's ability to conceptualize her own mortality. Nor does arid intellectual speculation make Ghost in the Shell what it is. [1 Mar 1996, p.29]β
Jay Carr, Boston Globe Β· 88
βTechnically, Ghost in the Shell is astonishing, not only for its smooth meld of cell animation and state-of-the-art computer animation, but also for its imaginative storytelling and mood-setting (thanks to an eerie, non-thumping score by Kenji Kawai).β
Richard Harrington, Washington Post Β· 88
βThe movie trades in familiar virtual realities. Yet as realized by the gifted director Mamoru Oshii, who imagines cityscapes melting into circuit boards, Ghost in the Shell is where virtual reality meets superrealism. [9 May 1996, p.C4]β
Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer Β· 88
βThe plot is impossibly dense and the characters β perhaps appropriately β feel like little more than cyphers, but for sheer mind-expanding sci-fi strangeness this is hard to beat.β

βThis is an okay movie but that is about it. The blurb sounded quite interesting and the trailers were promising even though I always take trailers with a huge pinch of salt. I have never read the original Manga. Whether that is good or bad with respect to the movie I do not know. The good stuff as far as this movie is concerned is, not surprisingly, the visuals. I would not say that they are stunning but the are quite good. The environments are interesting and the special effects are not bad β
