2017's Ghost in the Shell was a critical and financial disappointment, scoring 44% on the Tomatometer and making just $170m on a $110m budget. On top of that, the film picked up some significant bad publicity after it was accused of whitewashing by casting Scarlett Johansson as lead character Major Motoko Kusanagi. I think the film got a pretty bad rap: it's got a neat aesthetic, cool action scenes, and the narrative directly addresses the 'whitewashing' accusation.
