A shell of a film with a shell of a plot.

[Labster]

I haven't seen it yet, but ...
Ghost in the Shell film might be the most disappointing live-action reboot ever
This was not a good review. 

But this pedestrian action movie looks nigh unbearable through the
lens of the original series. Every bit of social commentary and
science-fiction mystique that made the Japanese film and books so
stunning has been wrung dry. Respect for the viewer goes into
the garbage, replaced by an obnoxious, paint-by-numbers plot of good
versus evil. And while I went into my screening ready to laugh off
rumors of cast white-washing, I left the theater aghast at how blatantly
that issue figured in the final product.

So the film itself is a whitewashing of the original story, removing it from its social context.

But these [scenes] are so bizarrely disconnected from Sanders' version of the story that they look like they were filmed solely for the sake of this movie's trailers—to assure worried fans that they're in good hands. They're not.

It's like someone turned Gone with the Wind into a buddy-cop comedy starring Scarlett and Mammy. This reboot couldn't have missed the point harder.

Honestly, I couldn't have cared less about the ScarJo casting.  The point is the tension between body and identity, at least in the original work.  But here the tension seems to be between plot and lack thereof.
