Ghost in the Shell 2017

[Char Aznable]

Movie? Man, Ghost in the Shell has a ton of movies and at least two series, one of which has two seasons.

What are you trying to say here? That I don't know the subject matter?
Ghost in the Shell has one movie. The original Anime called 'Ghost in the Shell'. Even if the Manga is older, this movie is generally what people refer to if they're talking about GitS. The other ones all are adaptations of the subject matter (only GitS 2 is a direct continuation of the first movie). This Hollywood movie is an adaptation of this movie, and just as much has every other adaptation been (Stand Alone Complex and its movie was just as much an adaptation as Arise was).
So no. There is one, and only one movie called Ghost in the Shell. There are adaptations and things that add to the franchise, and my criticism was going towards the fact that this movie is very unlikely to add anything new.

...its based on an awesome cartoon...

Anime. It's based on Anime. Geez. Learn the difference.

Oh, and just so you're aware: This is pretty smug (not in a good way), and generally considered rude. Anime is nothing else than a cartoon drawn in a japanese artstyle. You could also say that what we call 'Cartoon' is an Anime with a particularly western influence.
Please do all of us a favor and cut down on the superiority complex.
