Director, did you take the wrong script for "The Shell"?

Just finished watching Ghost in the Shell released today. I'm curious how the director made a girl who weighs more than 90 pounds feel 140 pounds. Scarlett doesn't have the beauty of an oriental person when she plays Suzi.
In fact, the live-action version and the animated version tell two completely different stories, borrowing elements from the original version, but it is a pity that the carcass of the original version was replaced by one-piece long johns. I endured it without cutting it (because China also invested in this film), and the philosophical thinking of the self and existence was completely erased, and replaced with a story about the inexplicable persecution of street hooligans by the American-style big corporate trust. Fortunately, the structure of the story is complete and easier to understand. The speed of the overall movie is as tepid as "Super Body", with only small climaxes and no big climaxes (probably because I am used to seeing the Women's Federation and Transformers and don't demolish a few buildings. The building is not a fight movie).
The director realized that his level was limited, so he gave us a low-profile version. Another side effect is that many elements of the original version have become unrealistic slots here.
Of course, I watched it in a small fifth-tier city, and there is no IMAX version, so for the sake of immersion, I can only watch this movie in the first row. If I haven't seen the original, I can give it a 4.5. I have seen the original. If you look at it again, you may be scolded for selling dog meat with a direct negative score.
I still remember that the last movie I had been waiting for for half a year was "The Great Wall". After watching it, I scolded my mother and walked out. At this time, a young couple beside me asked, 'How do you think this movie? 'Female:' I think it's pretty.' Male:' Well, I think it's pretty good too. 'I was shocked to hear it next to me at the time, and I was absolutely shocked by these two. Numerous bad movies over the years have destroyed everyone's aesthetics.
The next time I go to the cinema is to see a mindless wave like "Transformers 5". Since then, I can only get the only remaining pleasure of watching movies from the demolition of the house.

    Dirty, cool, recommended viewing order -- "Super Marines" + "Super Body" + "Ghost in the Shell", a future world with a perfect world view, Japan-US combination, artificial intelligence, super brain, and brain-computer interface Science fiction trilogy. Very real. However, after watching this film, I immediately came back and told myself: The world is too illusory, so practice hard. I'm off to meditate, bye.

    In this era when the duration is not more than two hours, I am embarrassed to call myself a blockbuster. The length of the film is unexpectedly short. I thought that this film was going to leave suspense and shoot a sequel. I didn't expect it to end like this? In terms of action and visual effects alone, the degree of completion is very high. Cyberpunk has a first-rate texture, but it is really just a taste of the kernel. I have never seen the original. The contrast is very interesting. I am very interested in looking for an old version of the movie.
