James Cameron has spent more than a decade trying to bring Alita: Battle Angel to the big screen. Based on a popular cyberpunk manga series by Yukito Kishiro, published between 1990-1995, he has spent that time refining the script and developing the world that Alita inhabits. And that’s pretty much what he now spends most of his time taking care of with the Avatar movies and the world of Pandora. ...

I quite enjoyed this movie. Of course it was a good start that it was directed by Robert Rodriguez. It is perhaps a bit of a young adult movie but that did not stop this old fart from enjoying it. I guess most people know the basic premise of the movie. It is based on a Japanese cyberpunk manga. Alita, a cyborg, is found by Dr. Ido. She is reawakened, given a new body (two actually), she is mu...

If you enjoy reading my Spoiler-Free reviews, please follow my blog :) I’m writing this review one day after the Oscars night, and I can guarantee at least one thing: Alita: Battle Angel is getting a Best Visual Effects nomination and it’s probably going to win. Calling it now. There are no words that can describe how immersive, realistic and groundbreaking the IMAX 3D experience is. Weta Digit...

I did enjoy _Alita_. It was a great big "pkyew-pkyew" sort of a mess, but I did still walk away having had a pretty good time. Unfortunately, both Alita(the character)'s romantic interest and _Alita_(the movie)'s romantic plotline I despised. And this aspect took up **so much** on screen realestate that I could never see my way to giving _Alita_ a glowing score, even if everything else about it...

Definitely a Robert Rodriguez movie, but a Robert Rodriguez movie made with that James Cameron money. The world building was incredible. Rosa Salazar, Christophe Waltz, and the rest of the cast do a great job. The technical wizardry, not just with the visual effects but the use of 3-D and IMAX was nothing short of dazzling. The action is exhilarating. I'll also take Motorball over podracing or ...

**Alita: Battle Angel** is an awesome movie. It has great action, an interesting plot, lovable characters, amazing acting by Rosa Salazar and overall it's a wonderful and fun film. It includes some of the best CGI ever created in film. Without a doubt, it is the best manga/anime adaption by Hollywood. I highly recommend this movie. Definitely 10 out of 10.

I'm truly disappointed by critics. I just don't understand their philosophy about entertainment. This movie was a marvelous! Without knowing the source material and <a href="http://quizlets.co/">quizlet live</a>, it made me interested in this world. I can't wait for the next chapter.

**One not too terrible spoiler** This movie was full of potential. The beginning of the movie was fantastic, full of amazing James Cameronesque world building and attention to detail. Where the movie starts to go down hill is more of a suprise hole in the side walk that this movie fell down, because you don't see it coming. Up to and including the bar fight, the movie was amazing. RIGHT afterward ...

Yeah, I didn't read the Manga. I was never a manga fan, but now that comic books are going the way they are... Manga is starting to look pretty good isn't it? Anyway, it seems like a lot of the bad reviews are... political. You know, the, "people only like this because they are (insert woke insult)." and that's really not fair. I'll go out there and admit that Alita's eyes kind of freaked me...
