    It could have been an acceptably decent movie if it wasn’t trying to be part of the GitS franchise.

    Yeah, I think this is a pretty common phenomenon. In the same vein, Discovery could have been a fun sci-fi show if it wasn’t trying to be part of Star Trek.

    As a GitS fan I hated it, but I wonder if it could have been more fun to watch if I was unfamiliar with the series.

    Yeah, this as well. I’m sure I would have enjoyed the Hobbit trilogy more if I’d never read the book. Still, there are such huge chunks of those movies that just feel like video game cut scenes—probably not the best example.
