Watched the Circle and Ghost in the Shell this last weekend:
The Circle is hot garbage. I read the book and was stupefied by how poorly they adapted the source material. It is a muddled mess of a movie.
Ghost in the Shell was amazing. I love sci-fi fantasy movies so I am probably a little biased, but this movie was solid from beginning to end. In this case I am not familiar with the source material. All of the criticism that I have seen is that the original was better? I don't know about that, but I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys dystopic badassery.
