Before it was even released, this live action remake of the anime classic caused considerable controversy: was this yet another example of the whitewashing of an Asian character?

And what happened to Scarlett Johansson's nipples? The heroine of Ghost in the Shell, a cyborg who eliminates criminal hackers, is still wrestling with her identity, but this version is never as incisive as its predecessor. And even Juliette Binoche, the visual effects by Weta Workshop, and the guerrilla suits can't help that.
