I remember thinking that whoever made this movie must have hated the original movie. I guess it is a gamble the director has to take: to be remembered as a great director, you can't simply remake movies verbatim. You have to put your spin on it and hope people think you made something greater than the original. The movie did not capture the feeling of the original movie nor did it seem convincing as a future reality the way the original does. Btw, hologram ads featured in a COD Advanced Warfare Tokyo map a few years ago. Given the color scheme of the movie and that of the map, I would not be surprised if the map was a bit of inspiration for the movie's designers.

I don't mind if something is omitted ie for time reasons (although this is usually issue with book -> movie, not anime -> movie). I have though problem with changing perfectly working parts of story for something else, which is always a lost battle. Some personal examples from the movie - the fight with garbagemen, the moment when one of them used special AP ammo to destroy Section 9 truck. It could have been such a cool moment. I still recall it from anime after 16 years. Or the fight with spider tank, its defeat by Batou. Why Aramaki kept talking in japanese and everybody else in english - if they used some automatic brain translators, they could have spent 15 seconds of story explaining this, ie show some immigrants speaking their own language.
