This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When I first heard about the movie I was skeptical at best, I love animated movies so when I heard that this would be a mix of live action and CG for the majority of the movie, I was doubtful. After watching the movie, I have to say that the Alita herself is the star of the movie, she doesn't look too "anime" (aside from her giant eyes), and as a character, her motives and outlooks are believable. The action is done very well, the story is serviceable, and the characters around Alita are written well enough to be believable. Mostly. There are 2 characters that I had an incredibly hard time believing. These 2 would be Hugo (Alita's Crush) and Sheeran (Alita's attempted mother figure). Sheeran has a huge turning point later into the movie where for some reason she turns her motives inside out and now decides that she wants to help Alita rather than hurt her. It would seemingly come out of the blue, as the movie gives no reason for her to care at all about helping Alita, yet we are supposed to believe that Sheeran is willing to give up her goals to save Alita (and Hugo) when she was just plotting to kill or capture Alita just a few scenes prior. The big reason I cannot give this movie any higher than a 7 is Hugo, he has the most 2 dimensional character I've seen in a long time. He is supposed to be Alita's first and only love, yet all he is capable of showing is anger or near monotone babbling, he has no compassion and any time he is trying to care it just fails. All in all the movie has fantastic action, a decent story, and a very strong lead, but 2 of the 3 most important supporting cast just fall short and bring the rest of the experience down with them.… Expand

Alita is a story of discovery, overcoming the odds and remaining true to yourself. A movie with substance that movie goers will easily relate.

This movie has a very nice atmosphere that streches across the whole movie! I personally liked the story, even if it is not very complex. The relatively open end makes me want to see more, so i hope for a sequel.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. : Alita works so well as an allegory for growing from child to adult. That alone makes her relatable by anyone. When we see her experience small joys in life like eating Chocolate for the first time, we relate. When she wants chocolate instead of dinner, we relate. We've all been there. It's charming and endearing and there's a child-like sense of wonder and innocence to her at first. But then she begins to grow and mature and find out how dark the world is. She realizes she has love for other people and that there's a lot of risk involved in that. She goes through phases of adolescence like her first "puppy love" crush and relationship developing. She goes through the "trying too hard to be cool" phase that is so well demonstrated by her speech in Bar Kansas (that gets laughed at) and her incitement of a fight. She flaunts her hunter-warrior license even though she hasn't even carried out a job yet. She thinks she's all grown up now even though she's not. She even wears a leather trench coat in that arc. Can you think of a better attire of a teenager trying too hard to be cool and badass? Haha. So many of us have been there, especially if you were a teenager in The Matrix era and the period after that film's release (late 90s/ Early 00s). Eventually she learns harsh lessons that we all learn, like that people aren't always what you assume they are, that love can blind you to the truth, and that rushing into a relationship without truly getting to know the person can lead to its failure. There's a lot of serious heft to this whole arc, but the overall theme is universal... childhood innocence eclipsing into adult loss of innocence and concern for how difficult and dark the world and life can be. Seeing Alita sink to abysmal lows and not give up is one of the most inspiring things I've seen on screen in years. They really took it to a new level with that fight scene against Grewishka. There were serious and severe consequences to her overestimating her abilities. I think we all have some moment in life that that scene could represent. This scene had weight for every character, not just Alita. It caused a lot of changes in the people around her and inspired other people to be heroes. That's what makes Alita such a great hero. She is a hero who doesn't just save people, she inspires those people to become heroes too. If she hadn't done that, she'd have died midway through the film, but in her time of need, she got the help she needed because she had inspired others to be courageous and stand up in the face of evil.… Expand

The movie stays as true as it can to the original story while maintaining a visually engaging story. Yes, some elements were moved around, some elements glossed over, and editorial changes in some of the character narratives, but over all this is the story I had fallen in love with in print form. This is what and how Manga and Anime movies that are brought to live action should all aspire to do and be. For people who are not familiar with the original story, the pacing might seem a bit rushed in some areas, and some of the character connections might have been better formed through the narrative and dialogue. I do think enough clues are given along the way that this should not be any real obstacle to fully understanding and appreciating the story as it unfolds or forming audience connections with the characters. The mix of drama, action, and humor were on point IMO, and at no time during my first, second, or even fifth time seeing it did I ever feel that time was dragging and I wished a given scene would just hurry up. The movie definitely has a positive rewatch factor. The world itself is fully developed and with tiny details that crop up over repeated watching. At my fifth time seeing it I was still finding little new things I hadn't truly noticed before that continue to add depth to the world. It is a movie I have happy recommend to my friends, even those who are not into the anime or manga art forms.… Expand

"You left the theater with the relationship, feelings and the themes. That is what important." - Rosa Salazar

I watched this movie more than once in the theatre, never I did this in my whole life. I went to this movie with low expectation,"You left the theater with the relationship, feelings and the themes. That is what important." - Rosa Salazar

I watched this movie more than once in the theatre, never I did this in my whole life. I went to this movie with low expectation, like any other movies because I treat them as "entertainment". This movie is without its flaws, with little plot issues here and there. But as Rosa said, you left the theater with the feeling and emotion and Alita: Battle Angel EXACTLY DOES THAT! That is the most important thing you should measure. The VFX is top notch, one of the best. The action scenes are well done, I'm never a fan of action scenes, but Alita did it for me. And again, when you think about the film, you think about the feelings and emotions and it's indeed the sweetest film in my life. Alita: Battle Angel will always be in my heart.

I don't understand with other reviewers saying it's cliche. The film takes the source (which is from the 90s) material seriously, and what love is not cliche anyway?… Expand

20+ years ago I saw the anime, but I had forgotten most of it. I came in not expecting much - historically anime adaptations were notoriously bad. I was shocked - the movie was excellent. It was faithful to spirit of the original material20+ years ago I saw the anime, but I had forgotten most of it. I came in not expecting much - historically anime adaptations were notoriously bad. I was shocked - the movie was excellent. It was faithful to spirit of the original material (thus making the story/characters meaningful and good), with entire scenes even taken directly from the source. The action, and effects were superb, the acting great, and all without any identity politics or preaching. A symphony for the eyes and ears that creates a cinema experience so good I have rarely, if ever, experienced - even on repeat viewings (best in 3D in IMAX in my opinion). The feeling of happiness and contentment you get from seeing something special is like that of few other movies. I've heard it compared by older folk to the feeling of leaving the theater in 1977 after Star Wars a New Hope.

What really makes the movie work though is the performance of Rosa Salazar as Alita. One can't help but love that character. The large eyes are not a concern, as you will accept them very quickly, and they work stylistically and plot wise. The knee jerk uncanny valley reaction is an initial reaction that is quickly overcome by the humanity and likability of the character.

For parents, keep the PG13 rating in mind, as there is violence (not gruesome, but they get away with more than they should due to it happening mostly to cyborgs), and the ending will probably be under appreciated by pre-teens.

Was the movie perfect? No. It's because you get so engaged and immersed in the movie, you notice really little things - lines of dialogue that you'd change or have the actor redo, and perhaps an effect or two that could have been improved catches your eye. Or maybe that it sets up a sequel may bother some (but hey - the movie covers only 2 of the 9 volumes of the original manga - what do you expect? Harry Potter did not defeat Voldemort in the first movie either, and I see no one complaining about that.). But then, if you're honest, you remember how incredibly trivial these gripes are when in relation to how the movie makes you feel and to the overall experience. If you then ask yourself how many stars do I knock off for these imperfections, you realize that no movie could ever reach a perfect score if held to the same criteria. If I were to give this movie anything else than a perfect score due to its faults, then a perfect score is pretty much unattainable for any movie, and what's the point of having a score no movie ever gets?… Expand

I have to add my two cents as I have never felt such a way about a movie; the most times I have ever seen a movie in a theater was twice, but Alita: Battle Angel, 15 times. It really is just that good. Rosa Salazar's performance is top-tierI have to add my two cents as I have never felt such a way about a movie; the most times I have ever seen a movie in a theater was twice, but Alita: Battle Angel, 15 times. It really is just that good. Rosa Salazar's performance is top-tier amazing (especially considering what she had to wear during filming; check out the behind the scenes videos), the visuals are stunning and the fight scenes are jaw-dropping.

One complaint I see from some people is about the story and the set-up for a sequel. What has to be understood is that James Cameron wanted to stay close to the original manga story that is comprised of 9 books from the early 90's. So, to maintain the integrity of the original manga, there are some parts of the story that cannot be removed, overly modified or simply told over the course of just one movie. With that said, Cameron and Rodriguez completely nailed the attitude and feelings of the original manga. Simply put: there is a reason why Cameron chose to tell Alita's story and it is absolutely fantastic.

If you like action, a strong and likable main heroine, amazing visuals and a great story, this is your movie. If I'm not convincing, go watch any, or all, of the hundreds of audience review videos out there and you won't regret diving into the world of Alita: Battle Angel.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you see Alita as a pure action movie, you miss the most important part about it. It's not about the action, the action serves the story. It's about Alita's character, about her emotions, about her relationships with the people around her.
Her Journey starts as a little girl, discovering the world around her, as a proxie daughter for Dr. Ido. But she develops, she grows into adolescence with all the rebellion and over-confidence coming with it. She makes mistakes, she suffers defeat, and she comes back stronger then before. She loves and is loved, and while she discovers her place in the world throughout the relations to her father figure Ido, her love interest Hugo, and her friends, she as a character is not defined by them. She shows the entire spectrum of human emotionality. Alita isn't just a fictional character - she's the most human being I've ever met. And that's why this movie is so great.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Alita: Battle Angel is the story of a utopian society where guns have been outlawed and regular people are paid to enforce the law by their corporate overlords at night, because the mechanized military force can’t be bothered and everyone else is too busy Ubering women home from the club to their doom.

The plot is fairly muddled: Alita doesn’t know if she wants to be a manic pixie dream girlfriend or a naïve cyborg daughter or a rebellious teenager or the leader of a sci-fi rebellion or a professional roller skater (sic). Which is fine, but it means that there are points when it seems like the movie is being drawn and quartered by romantic and action plots, like the moment when she’s lined up for the Big Game and she simultaneously gets phone calls from both the Doctor telling her to abandon her post and her boyfriend who needs her help in a completely different place. It’s easy to imagine that what the film intended was to show that Alita contains multitudes and wears different masks for different people, a bit of powering wish fulfillment here and an emotionally accessible boyfriend there, but in some sense Alita comes off as a little shallow and restless.

Christoph Waltz’s backstory is pretty shady, which is also fine–there’s something to be said for leaving the audience wanting more, creating drama through mystery. It’s unclear what his daughter’s deal was that required him to build her “fast legs,” or if he was just unwilling to live in a world where his daughter would have to–god forbid–wheel herself around like any other person with a mobility issue. Which brings up a point about disability in the year 2400: it certain seems like a lot of people who would otherwise just be heads and spinal columns are turning into enhanced bounty hunters for little or no money. The doctor’s moral objection to rocket ball racing don’t seem to be that hard and fast when Alita decides it’s the only way she’s going to be able to jog her amnesiac memory–even though it seems like the “demon” of his former involvement spawned his disgust.

If I were the nurse from this film, Dr. Ido’s assistant, I would be a little miffed. She had some lines and she clearly is helping keep the business afloat, but Alita kind of creepily avoids her in any scene where they’re together. She calls the doctor “dad” in front of her, snuggles up with him on the coach, under the nurse’s grossed out frown, without so much as a “hello” or a “thank you for playing a role in reviving me twice.”

With an eye squarely on the ending of the film: it seems like Alita isn’t actually able to accomplish very much aside from her journey of self-discovery. At no point does it seem like she’s in danger of facing a competent foe. The lackeys of the villain are constantly depending on sub-optimal grunts to do their dirty work, which makes it a little surprising when they are able to score even a little scratch on the most advanced piece of (Martian?) weaponry in centuries. The villain relies on a form of hypnosis (which I find narratively boring) in order to project himself on the lower world. I know that this is an adaptation of a manga and that that magna exists as part of a certain aesthetic of sci-fi dystopias, but where I’ve seen it done best is in Rick Remender and Sean Murphy’s Tokyo Ghost, which for a number of reasons finds ways to transcend the clichés of the genre.

Tokyo Ghost, if I can get off track for a moment, still has the consumerist battle royale race car scenes, the man-to-man brawls, the journey of self-discovery, the empowered woman hero, and the anti-war critique, but it does not give itself over completely to those flashier elements of storytelling. It grounds itself in issues of environmental destruction and corporate oligarchy. So, I bring it up primarily to point to it as a path not taken in the conception of the original source material.

For a different perspective, Friend has always been a big proponent of “original sci-fi” movies and liked everything about this movie except all the scenes with the boy, who was terrible–this was constant critique whenever he saw the trailers. Wife seconded that by saying that at no point does he seem like a nice guy. He spends a lot of time creeping on a two-day old cyborg teenager, despite being old enough to drink alcohol with the owner of the race track. He cuts their dates short to do horrible things to innocent people on the streets. And he just generally spends a lot of time committing sins of omission, besides being a poor jumper.

Film in general seems like it was a bit of a mess, but no so outrageously stupid that you should avoid it. For more on uncanny valleys and the disappointing CGI check out the Imaginary Worlds podcast, unfortunately behind a Spotify paywall. Also look at Josh Spiegel’s take on “the pitfalls of sequel-building,” and take heed of calls punish high profile producers of the film.… Expand

Sort of like they hired so many modelers they couldn't afford to hire enough lighters to get it right. See this is the problem when I start thinking more about it, I could see why there are low reviews.

Critics hate anything having to do with anime made for an older audience. It's irrational. The tropes at the beginning were annoying and the beginning was way too compressed, IMO. It's not a 5/10. It got better after the beginning.

The visuals in this film were stunning and I loved the character of Iron City. The fight scenes were spectacular, as were the characters/bounty hunters. It really is a beautiful film visually, so yes, I'm impressed.

Problems with the film are that the story could have been more, idk, better. I do understand that when world building there are information dumps that have to happen. If the film makers had taken the time to do these dumps properly, it could have been a more satisfying film. I also wasn't impressed with the ending. You can't just end it like that and not give us another film.

Overall, I do recommend this film and I hope they make another to wrap up the loose ends of this film.… Expand

Despite some flaws in storytelling, Alita has a lot of things to be excited about. The world building was absolutely stunning and the action sequences flat out deliver on the big screen. The third act seems a bit rushed and underwhelming butDespite some flaws in storytelling, Alita has a lot of things to be excited about.

7 for 7.5. Simply James Cameron + Robert Rodriguez/2. While the story is lacking so much, Alita succeeds to deliver Cameron's bid project in a good way. The action is the best among all other movies.

Alita is a beautifully fleshed out character who not only made me sympathize and identify with her throughout but actually made me want to be more like her in real life.

Ignore the critics they do not know a good movie when they see one, i am a fan of the original anime film and this movie is amazing, and will be picking it up on 4k blueray once out.

It was pretty entertaining, had a nice vibe. The potential was there, but I think the adaptation could have been done better. Especially considering the ending, which didn't work that well for me.
