Subtlety? Subtlety is for squares!

Warning: Spoilers
Just like Ghost in the shell (2017), the filmmakers took all subtlety the book had and threw it out the window. The story is so surface level and obvious that it completely ruins the point of the book. Moreover, the story is butchered and hacked up to a point where its no longer recognizable. Clarice's role of opening Guy's eyes is completely offloaded on to Beatty, so when Guy does meet her, it feels out of no where. Also, the movie takes the story of the book and shove it all into the first 40 minutes of the movie, so when they realized they had another hour and ten to fill, they introduce this stupid plot about the "omnis" to pad for time. and finally, they blatantly rip off V for Vendetta with the scenes where Beatty is talking to the ministry. Overall, this movie is just a huge waste of an adaptation. don't really know what i expected though.
