Who ever plays Spike is close to retirement age and the character should have been casted a younger actor. I am going to assume it's a western storytelling thing in which they write and cast old and believable characters that are able to do the job in which you end up with some 30 something guy in action flicks. In Eastern storytelling it centers around some 15 year old kid that is young and inexperienced that will learn and grow into the thing he needs to do. In thehe anime dude was in his mid-twenties, which is a believable age.
Jet Black, I don't mind the race-swapping in this case. What bothers me more is how cartoonish and fake he looks. The beard is a nice throwback to the original, but don't make it all look like plastic. Als, grow a spine.
Faye Valentine, what have they done to my girl? The character is lacking her sexy feminine esthetic along with her smart prowess. Instead we have some generic and cocky Hollywood dime of a dozen socialite.
Then the setting. For some weird and messy whatever genre, everything is rather clean. Yes some clothes look worn, but it still seems intact and really clean. You would expect random props in interior shots and a dirty world on the outside. And both look really clean, minimalist, but really boring. Like no trash, no objects that tells you it has been lived in nor in or outside.
The fighting scenes are boring or terribly choreographed. Maybe it's the movie I watched the evening before, or Banshee the series, but what I see here is slow, predictable and boring in comparison and it looks like a simple fight, I wish to see combat.
I should expand on this a bit.

There is more, but that's for another time.
