It already came out, years ago. The only reason it's not called 'Superman' is because of intellectual property rights and presumable nerd outcry. Hancock is narratively identical to half of Batman V Superman.

There were a lot of differences from Superman to Hancock. That would be like calling Chappie a complete copy of Short Circuit 2.

So, this movie.

Well, it's not Ghost in the Shell. The characters are completely different. They have different origins, different personalities, different motivations. They and the world they inhabit are only cosmetically similar to the original. The quieter they took from the original movie is out of context and no longer plays a broader thematic part in the story. The pure action scenes they took lack the impact of the animation. The lighting lacks the contrasts between different times of day and mental states that the original had. The ending is nonsense.

I might write a longer post with specifics, but basically go into this movie knowing that they bought the brand and style and none of the substance. In light of it's source material, it's a terrible film.

I agree, the movie was Ghost in the Shell in name only.

Back when this film opened opposite Boss Baby and stumbled right out of the gate

It was designed as good as a Twinkie, in my book. Nice clean factory produced. I'm sure people will look back on this movie and say they sure used their computers good.

I think Paramount Pictures started the whitewashing rumor after they reviewed the final cut of the movie.

Boss Baby getting a sequel, will Paramount make a Ghost in the Shell sequel to show them up?

I still think paramount started the whitewashing rumors to get people not to see it themselves.

They tried to cram the movie and elements from two seasons of the anime into a 90 minute film.

Ghostbusters didn't get negative press, it got an organised hate campaign.

Ghostbusters was a bad movie. Ghost in the shell was a bad movie.

I watched the other Ghost in the shell things after this and I agree it seems like they've just jammed a bunch of scenes, feelings and plotlines together then gone tada!

My favorite part is how it took all the source material, that's like a Twinkie. And they sucked out all the white filling goodness and then used it all to make a single movie. When there is only the yummy filling with nothing to contrast it then nothing is special.
