And the lampshade, as such, they use to explain the whitewashing was okay.

I enjoyed it.
I wasn't a super fan of the anime so I didn't really have a problem with ScarJo playing the Major. I know the anime take place in a future Tokyo, but to me Major Kusanagi in the anime never really looked Japanese anyway.
As an amalgam of several different Ghost in the Shell anime I thought the movie flowed well.
