TheSpeaking as a person that is not a fan of either manga or anime, I have to say I LOVED this movie I went to see it just because my friend wanted me to go with him and that James Cameron worked on it, I was very impressed with the movie. The CGI was masterful and the fight scenes were some of the best I've seen in any movie out the past few years. The pacing is one of the major complaints I have of the movie a lot is thrown at you very quickly you need to piece together. The relationships were very quick to develop and were quite cheesy, Other than Alita I never really cared for the other character's because they were thrown in so fast and quickly moved away from them. I really recommend people go see the movie overall it has been one of the most enjoyable movies I have seen the last number of years, I really hope a second movie comes quickly from it and maybe a prequel to explain Alita's origin as that seemed very interesting.… Expand

I confess i had no intention of wachting this movie because of the trailers, but i do not regret it! I read the manga and i can say that this movie is very faithful and does not disappoint. It has hearth, breathtaking action, good romance and stunning visual effects.

Alita is so sweet, brave and inspiring, and i'm in love with her. Her big eyes are not a problem - the manga itself says she has special eyes. And despite being a cyborg, Alita proves to be more human than many of us.

I'm definitely looking forward to the next movie to explore this world. In the meantime, i'll watch it again in 3D!… Expand

Absolutely one of the best films this year so far and if it had been in 2018, I'd say it was the best film of 2018 riding along with Spider-man Into the Spider verse and Marvel's Infinity War.

Watching Alita was a completely different experience than any other movie similar to watching Avatar, reminded me of the real reason how watching a movie on the big screen is so completely apart from watching a movie at home. On top of all that, you can really tell the film-makers cared about the source material, might be off-putting for people who are unfamiliar with anime, but it triumphs over the adaptation stereotypes.

+ Fantastic CGI. Alita is very real and alive when watched in IMAX 3D.
+ Brilliant fighting choreography that are very anime-ish and have never been seen on the big screen before.
+ Rosa Salazar's impressive delivery as Alita is very endearing especially for manga fans.
+ The most violent and brutal PG13 movie that I have ever seen and the one time use of F-bomb is awesome.

- Some of the script and dialogue are cringy if you're not used to anime and manga.
- Villains are mostly mediocre except Ed Skrein's Zapan and another "hidden boss" that may only fully appear in the sequel.
- There is a romance story that people may find unbelievable.

After a few viewings I've come to the realization that Robert Rodriguez, James Cameron and the rest of the cast and crew were able to to weave together a tapestry of a movie with many layers not just within the story itself but within the characters.

From initially thinking it was just a "popcorn movie" I've come to see that many shades of color that they were able to channel into the multiple threads and characters. This is a movie that made myself, friends and family feel legitimately "positive" in a way that is doesn't commonly happen even from the usual type of "feel good" movies. Alita is a very special masterpiece and a very unique one at that.

I've already seen it 2 times in the cinema, thinking about 3rd time. It's first time ever when I'm ready to pay for the tickets to see movie again in the cinema and surely will buy Blue ray. Very important thing is that you have to watch it first in IMAX 3D, it makes you feel really engaged in it. As far as I see, many people are really thinking about Alita as manga/anime adaptation. Personally I haven't heard about the comics before the movie, only after. I just saw several trailers and decided to check it out straight in the cinema. I would say that it's pretty big mistake to advertise and portray it mainly as an anime adaptation. Because many people don't really know a lot about anime culture in general and even think that it's weird, etc. In reality this movie is for everyone, you don't need to know anything about original anime story, with fresh mind I think it's even better to get the movie right.

The visual side is done perfectly. Cameron, Landau and Rodriguez team is really on top of that game. I don't really understand why it has been criticized by some critics for the scenario. It's understandable if you're huge original anime fan and got own vision on how it should be done. Otherwise it's just not right to criticize the entertainment movie that way. It's obviously not a movie like a Green Book, which scenario is pretty simple, but very human. Comparing it with Avatar or Ready Player One, I can say that Alita's story is more interesting for me and I won't call it a standard scenario. Surely the main hero Alita is just lovely, not sure why her eyes are an issue for some people, but they look fantastic. Also, she smiles a lot in the movie and that's catching as well. She is naive and idealistic, that's why it's really easy to fell in love with her. Rosa Salazar bravo. General cast is great and everyone is fitting characters really well. Hopefully we'll see all of them in the second and third parts, one movie is simply not enough for Alita's story.

Not sure why is not doing perfect on the domestic market and hope that things will improve. International audience love this movie and it feels like China and Japan are ready to help with earnings. Let's support our Battle Angel and show production team that we want more of it.… Expand

So I saw it myself, and sure enough it is a fantastic movie, wonderful story, and even the love story is well done. I have no idea what people who did not like it were watching, they complained about plot holes that are .. well they are spelled out nice and clear, did you snooze during that part?

Which is really impressive. You think to yourself I couldn't tell...at all. Alita: Battle Angel is faithful to the Manga in a good way. With some minor changes to suite the film format. To be any better it would have had to be a 3-4 hour long film in ala LOTR honestly... I hope the sequels are a little longer. The Villians are not as violent as in the Manga, it would have balanced out Alita's response to them if they were presented as such. A lot of people will watch Alita because they know then story and were looking forward to the adaptation for those people it's perfect.… Expand

The only major issue is the attempt to compress more than 3 graphic novels into just 1 Film (merely 2 hours long) representing a massive (if not impossible) challenge - the Film adaptation appears to portray the best attempt (to please everyone or as much of the audience as possible). Hopefully a 3+ hour long R-Rated extended (uncut) version will be released in the near future (which flesh out each character exactly as it was done in the manga).

Japanese Manga loves to stretch major plot lines over hundreds (some literally nearly a thousand) episodes, so it's impossible to please everyone, especially (I suspect) most western audience who have been culturally brought up to expect plot resolution within (merely) 3 Film (Trilogies).

Battle Angel begins at the bottom or the worse possible location (the junk/scrape yard of a civilization) & the 1st graphic novel intentionally portrayed that there is an even lower level/world (the sewers), from then-on Alita slowly begins moving up in the world. Therefore, the first few graphic novels were (to me, personally) the most boring story arcs of the entire Battle Angel Manga. This has me (as a fan) worried concerning how this film adaptation expects to draw in new audiences/fans while depicting (what was to me) the most boring story arcs in the entire Battle Angel Manga? Considering that if this Film does not perform: will the better/superior story arcs in this manga ever be adapted as well in the future?

I'm willing to pay for at least 3 3D IMAX tickets to Alita's sequel(s) right now (even if the sequel itself comes out after 2025).… Expand
