It's more Film Noirish (Neo Noir actually) than the first one. The philosophical line is not as subliminal as in the first movie, it's more openly discussed. The animation is still breathtaking and the imagery is second to none. The movie has a very existential tone to it. While in the first movie the primary colour scheme was blue, in this one it is red (supposedly representing the colour of love and desire). Motoko Kusanagi is sadly missing in the vast majority of the sequel, but there's some kind of presence (Just like the Emperor in the first two Star Wars Movies or Sauron in the Lord of the Rings trilogy). If you're into very philosophical aspects in movies this one is for you!
