Sometimes I wonder if people who do not like the live-action movie "Ghost in the Shell" already made up their mind before watching the movie. I watched the movie this weekend and it was awesome! White-washing? You don't watch the movie because it is a replica of the classic anime/manga. You watch it for the story, the acting, and most especially, the visual effects. I hope the movie gets the karma it deserves because it is actually a very good movie.
