There's a lot of blockbuster movies that combine thoughtfulness with high-octane action.
The Matrix is a great example of this, ditto for
The Dark Knight or

The new live-action take on Ghost In The Shell appears to be striving to join the ranks of those films as beloved pieces of filmmaking that manage to contain both lots of punching and an equal amount of ideas that'll leave viewers pondering for quite a while. Unfortunately, neither the themes nor the action in
Ghost In The Shell turn out to be all that interesting with both elements coming out as simply being frustratingly undercooked.
