10 Hyped 2017 Movies That Will Definitely Disappoint You

6. Ghost In The Shell

Skull Island
Paramount

The Hype: A live-action adaptation of the iconic manga series, with Scarlett Johansson bringing some acting cred to the immense, big-budget production. If Paramount can pull it off, they'll have brought an extremely weird, exotic IP to the masses.

Why It Will Disappoint: Firstly, it's unlikely Paramount will pull it off simply because the source material is too odd and concessions made to translate it to a casual audience will probably be at the story's expense.

Also, there's a PG-13 rating and tons of controversy revolving around Johansson "white-washing" The Major to deal with, not to mention Rupert Sanders' first film (Snow White and the Huntsman) proving divisive with audiences and critics.

This one seems set to bomb critically and commercially, and if it defies those odds, it'd be a huge shock.
