That'due south challenging, only clearly the reviews didn't assist."[49] Conversely, Deadline argued that the negative critical cess was due to the pic beingness "cold, boring, thoughtless, and the same old next to its futuristic ancestors The Matrix and Bract Runner," and suggested that Paramount held the movie from review because they "knew they had a lame duck."[45]

Justin Chang of the Los Angeles Times praised the film's visuals and product: "Some of that ravishment arrives courtesy of the picture show's setting, a stunning pan-Asian metropolis that makes boldly inventive utilize of the Hong Kong skyline, its tightly stacked buildings tricked out with enormous holographic billboards. (The cinematography and production design, both staggering, are by Jess Hall and Jan Roelfs, respectively.)"[59] Michael Phillips of Chicago Tribune gave the picture show three/iv and said, "This isn't jokey, quippy science fiction; truthful to the source material, it's fairly grave almost the implications of an android-dominated culture, though of course Ghost in the Shell is also nigh giant mecha spiders equipped with machine guns."[60]
Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the picture 2.5 out of 4 stars, saying: "Just about every scene in Ghost in the Shell is a visual wonder to behold—and you'll have ample to fourth dimension to soak in all that background centre candy, because the plot machinations and the action in the foreground are largely of the ho-hum retread variety."[61] Evan Narcisse of io9 commented that the moving-picture show failed to capture the feel of the source material, with the biggest problem beingness the Major asking the incorrect sort of existential questions almost herself.[62]
Cecilia D'Anastasio of Kotaku commented on the movie's failure to adhere to the source textile: "Somebody misjudged how poorly American superhero moving picture tropes would map onto Ghost in the Shell ... [the] last scene tried to do that 'satisfying our need for closure' thing American directors think is kind, simply is actually condescending."[63] Brian Truitt of USA Today gave the film 1.5/4, stating: "Ghost in the Shell is a defective mess with lifeless characters, missed chances for thematic exploration and a minefield of political incorrectness."[64]
Manohla Dargis of The New York Times expressed disappointment at the absenteeism of the original'due south "big, human, all-as well-human questions" in contrast to the retentivity of action clichés, such equally chases and gun fights. Dargis as well criticized the absenteeism of the unique setting, stating that "The original manga takes place in what'southward described equally a "strange corporate conglomerate-country called 'Japan'", while this motion-picture show unwinds nowhere in particular, but a universal megalopolis filled with soaring greyness towers."[65]
Nicholas Hairdresser of the BBC described the film as "conceptually and visually breathtaking", an elaborately designed and detailed dystopia which seems disturbingly existent.[66]
Peter Suderman of Vox and Emily Yoshida of Vulture criticized the removal of philosophical ideas from the story, feeling the flick westernized the story and changed the search for the idea of a soul to finding individuality and memories.[67] [68] Hanns-Georg Rodek of Die Welt praised the movie for being an action moving-picture show that for one time does not throw philosophy overboard.[69]

Casting criticism [edit]
The casting of Scarlett Johansson as Major Mira Killian/Motoko Kusanagi brought accusations of whitewashing.[78] [79] [80] [81] Pavan Shamdasani of Asia Times wrote: "The original is near as Asian as things go: Japanese cult manga, ground-breaking anime, Hong Kong-inspired locations, Eastern philosophy-based story. Most of that's been downright ignored with its big-screen adaptation, and Scarlett Johansson'due south casting every bit the dark-haired, obviously originally Asian atomic number 82 sent netizens into a rage."[82] In April 2016, ScreenCrush reported that the filmmakers had deputed the use of CGI and other visual furnishings testing to modify Johansson'due south appearance to make her appear Asian,[83] spurring further backlash.[84] [85] Paramount stated the tests were curt-lived and did not involve Johansson.[86] Some fans and industry employees argued that the controversy was a symptom of Hollywood's fear that casting non-white actors would bring less profit.[86] [87] Marc Bernardin of the Los Angeles Times wrote that "the only race Hollywood cares almost is the box role race".[88]
In Nippon, fans were surprised that the casting had sparked controversy, since they had already assumed that a Hollywood production would bandage a white actress. They felt the appearance of the protagonist was immaterial due to the franchise's themes of self-identity and the blurring of artificial and natural bodies.[89] [90] The Hollywood Reporter spoke to a group of female Japanese-American actors, including Keiko Agena, about the moving-picture show; the actresses argued that Japanese natives are not upset by the film because of white beauty standards held in Japan.[91] Co-ordinate to Justin Charity of Ringer, "your boilerplate Japanese denizen's outlook on diverseness is much less influenced by pluralism than the outlooks of many Asian Americans, who live in a land where popular civilisation rarely represents them well, if at all. Hence, many Japanese Americans may find Johansson's casting in a Ghost in the Shell movie distressing, while native Japanese observers make nothing of information technology."[89]
Paramount released a featurette of Mamoru Oshii, director of the anime films, visiting the studio, in which he says that Johansson exceeded his expectations for the part.[92] Oshii told IGN that the Major uses an assumed trunk and name, "so there is no basis for saying that an Asian extra must portray her... I can only sense a political motive from the people opposing information technology, and I believe artistic expression must exist free from politics."[93] During a launch upshot in Tokyo, director Rupert Sanders said of Johansson: "At that place are very few actresses with 20 years' experience who take the cyberpunk ethic already broiled in. I stand past my decision—she's the best extra of her generation."[94] Addressing the controversy, producer Steven Paul referred to the moving-picture show'south setting as "an international world" with characters of numerous nationalities.[95]
Sam Yoshiba, director of the international business partitioning at Kodansha's Tokyo headquarters, which holds the rights to the Ghost in the Trounce series, said: "Looking at her career so far, I think Scarlett Johansson is well cast. She has the cyberpunk feel. And we never imagined information technology would be a Japanese actress in the starting time place... this is a chance for a Japanese property to exist seen around the world."[90] [96] Johansson said of the backlash: "I certainly would never presume to play another race of a person. Diversity is important in Hollywood, and I would never want to feel like I was playing a character that was offensive. Also, having a franchise with a female protagonist driving it is such a rare opportunity. Certainly, I feel the enormous pressure of that—the weight of such a large property on my shoulders."[97]
The film attracted further criticism for its ending, which reveals that Johansson'due south graphic symbol was originally a Japanese girl.[17] [98] The Media Action Network for Asian Americans accused Johansson of lying when she said she would never play the role of a person of a dissimilar race than her own.[99] Japanese-American extra Ai Yoshihara, speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, said she felt the twist was "white people trying to justify the casting". Another Japanese-American actress, Atsuko Okatsuka, said: "Hanka Robotics [the corporation in the pic] is making a being that's the best of human and the best of robotics. For some reason, the best stuff they make happens to be white."[91]
During the opening monologue for the 2022 Gilded Globe Awards, co-host Sandra Oh alluded to the issue of whitewashing in Hollywood by joking that Crazy Rich Asians (2018) was "the first studio film with an Asian-American atomic number 82 since Ghost in the Shell and Aloha."[100]
