Having just read the manga, I get totally why they made the changes they did and I think by doing so they have added to the movie and it has made it better which is great!
I really loved this movie I hope it gets super successful that we get two more films to finish out the trilogy on top of that I also hope that we get a new anime that tells the complete saga including the first half and the second half of the manga Battle Angel lost order.
We've recieved many comments correcting the statement that she's a cyborg not an android. Yes, we know the difference. It was a slip of the tongue and we didn't notice it while editing.
Great review. You touched all things most critics just missed. Maybe they don't want to talk about all bright sides of Alita. Movie is just masterpiece. My favourite from ages. Alita looks gorgeous. Must see movie !!!
I saw this movie last weekend and I loved it. Although I've never read the manga, I'm a big Science Fiction reader so I had no problem following the plot threads and themes. I've heard people criticize some of the dialog as being corny and in a few places (especially the romance) it was, but I think most of those lines were taken directly from the manga as fan service. What other reviewer miss is that aside from basic language skills and fight programming for self-defense, the character Alita started as a blank slate. So, even thought her first body was that of a teenager, the psychological development before she was forced into conflicts was that of a very young child. Like a child, she took delight in her surroundings and exploring a relationship with her 'special friend', this makes her all the more endearing. Of course conflict did eventually arrive and that brought forth repressed memories and knowledge, something reflected in her transition to the more mature looking, new, more powerful berserker body. I have to say the computer animation was top notch. Out of over two hours there was hardly twenty minutes on screen where things could possibly have been done a little better.
The film knew when it was being corny so I feel that the people who complain about that have no leg to stand on. Alita's speech results in her being mocked by Zapan and the other Hunter Warriors whereas almost any other movie would have had them cheering for her. She even draws attention to a cheesy moment when she jokes with Hugo about how "intense" it was when she offered him her heart.
Cameron planned Trilogy from the start. I think many people aren't used to Anime Style Story telling. They been brainwashed by simple Marvel movies, where "there is bad guy, there is good guy, doesn't matter why, they beat each other up, and good guy wins" it's simple and doesn't leave any space for imagination. While Japanese Anime telling stories differently, doesn't tell everything from the start, and leave some space for imagination and fan theories. Like what's in Zalem? why there was a war on earth with Mars? and stuff. Let's take One Piece, there is like million Fan Theories out there about different things, cause you know s*it what's going on there :D Most people are not used to this, and new things can scare them away.
The funny/saddening part about this is the movie heavily simplifies things from the source metarial (mostly understanable simplifications, film really does not need even more expository explanation)
I agree with you but the way i see it the marvel movies did its part where it prepared some of the folks who don't know about this property to expect the unexpected. Another thing we can appreciate is that the marvel formula of the marvel films can create a true craving for something VERY DIFFERENT.
I doubt it will get an Oscar despite having some of the best effects in years, but the Hollywood tribal pop culture elite have labeled it a bad movie, so it's incredibly unlikely.
Critics dont't know that a lot of the lore only explained later in the manga and a lot of lore also not fully explained in the manga. What i really like is they made Alita a believable character, she is pure and naive but had a warrior spirit. The sewer fight scene was my favorite, totally straight out of the manga.
Robert Rodriguez and James Cameron are both excellent directors and they don't suck up to the Hollywood elite. They know that they need fans far more than they need corrupt politicians (Hollywood is basically a political party now).
I don't know about you, i watched alita and fell in love with her. If you love the movie too, help them spread the word, it's free, and it helps them build box office for a sequel which we definitely need! ALITA2!
AWESOME MOVIE. GO SUPPORT ALITA AND WATCH IT! The only thing I was disappointed in Alita was they didn't give her the "octopus lips", it's one of her iconic features haha.
I think the octopus lips really work just in the manga. I think they deminded quite a bit from the audience with the eyes. I think they can't also digest those lips. But besides I love alitas eyes. They are like gems to me.
#AlitaBattleAngel I'm a huge fan! Watched it thrice with the family. I spoke with my wallet. I want a sequel, it is deserving of one. Go out and watch how female empowerment inspires.
I don't know why but Ido has gotten better with each adaptation. When they took him from the manga to the anime he got better. At this point I like like the movie Ido better than the anime or manga versions. As for Alita, they toned her personality down and it makes her a lot better. They even give the berserker body a better back story on how it was discovered. To me, the movie Hugo was acceptable, not good but not bad. I probably didn't get too attached to him because knew he was doomed in both the manga and anime. A friend of mind absolutely hated the movie Hugo, his was weird but makes sense. As for manga to movie adaptation. This is the second one I've seen that is really good. The first one was a manga called "All You Need Is Kill" that was adapted into "Edge of Tomorrow" with Tom Cruse. And it is a solid adaptation. I would happy to see your review of it, if you haven't done so already.
#AlitaChallenge #AlitaBattleAngel I've watched it thrice with my family. It was absolutely fun and the best anime adaptation for the big screen. I want to see more Anime done correctly like this. Alita is a movie done with 💓 heart. 15,000+ employed to make it. Makers donated real bionic arms that changed little girls lives. This movie starring a Latina Female showing true female empowerment. Go watch it and have fun.
@@KUSILE thankfully I was able to watch it in 3D, usually I hate 3D movies but here it was really awesome. Haven't seen a movie in 3D since pacific rim(1st one) really glad I did!
All I could think while watching your review was I know right I know right I know right fucking amazing movie The only thing that I had a problem with was there casting for Hugo he was kind of a feeble frail Punk in the OVA not some popular jock pretty boy I think a different casting Choice probably would have done better otherwise everyone else was damn near perfect casting
I been saying this for YEARS....if you put someone TALENTED behind a project and he CARES, it can work.....everyone says no, its impossible, noo it never work no matter who.....THIS IS MY PROVE, this film proves it....James fucking Cameron knows how to translate this in an UNIVERSAL LEVEL, and it fucking works, and he didn't shy on the Violence, he didn't tone down the TRAGIC, he didn't change the structure of anything just small twerks....and look and behold.....A GOOD ANIME ADAPTION FINALLY, only cost to put a GOOD DIRECTOR, Robert and great screenplay by James Cameron.....great special effects, the perfect cast in Rosa Salazar, beautiful and talented young actress and we have ALITA, no its not a dream and no its not impossible, so the next time you see a crappy adaptation of an anime or a game, blame the people behind, not the source material, James Cameron you are a genius, you are the true king of cinema for a reason, as a long ass fan of GUNNM and waited so long for this film to see the light.....totally satisfying, I have see the film 5 times now, and never got bored not even once, hope we get a sequel for this.
Great review :) I loved the movie, watched it 13 times, have never read the source material (although I am going to order it as soon as I collect some more money because right now everything goes to the cinema ;))). As for people thinking that Alita looks weird, strange, out of place, etc. - I have one question... Did you think that elves and hobbits in LoTR looked weird? Probably not... I don't get why big eyes are so much different for those people. For me, as a white guy, a person of color looks more different than Alita with big eyes. And I am not a racist, nothing like that, just wanted to give you perspective. There are people of various skin colors, hair, eye shapes in the world, people without limbs, people who are obese and anorectic - everyone looks different and I really don't get why big eyes make a difference that justifies saying 'it's so weird, I don't accept it'.
What are you the terminator in that thumbnail? Lol But yea I liked the movie, wish the dialogue was different, but it is an Hollywood movie things need to change.
While i don't regret seening the movie i wished they didn't ruine Nova. Nova is a mad scientist of Karma research, the whole world leader stick isn't his thing, Biggott, Mbadi or even Varis would have been better pics. Hell it was better Zalem had no face to begin with
They're both hack frauds. No, but seriously the character design is similar and outro music. The character design was a coincidence, the character of Grant was made up around 2015 and it was an easy design. However we are trying to phase out the helmet. The music though was from Skeptic, which we discovered in 2016.
CYBORG! NOT ANDROID. Android is a machine with an artificial intelligence (A.I). Alita is a cyborg, a human with cybernatic enhancement. In Alita's case, her brain is her remaining human part.
Btw how is battle royale and hunger games adaptations? And so they're making a my hero academia movie and a cowboy bebop show? There's so much information you left hanging. I'm dying to know the details dude!
If Hollywood wants to make live action anime adaptation, They should look into Legend of the Galactic Heroes. if done properly, it would be bigger than Game of the thrones.
Not if the crazy sjws can be believed somehow they have problem after problem with this movie which is really sad cuz it seems to have a really good message to girls so I have no idea what the problem with it is
@@MJR_heyfunny people like that will always find things to complain about so I wouldn't pay attention to them. It's pointless anyways. As long as the movie does good and has a great word of mouth.
i dont think its accurate to say alita is 100% cgi - rosa has criticizing her own performance because she does a little twitch / wrinkle thing with her face before she kisses hugo and that is 100% rosa not CGI that is doing that and it shows through on the screen because its not pure CGI.
pretty decent and enjoyable time with this adaptation, my biggest problem was that the romance was stale and really cringe, besides that pretty fun time if you just sit there and not think about it that much.
You're wrong about Japanese manga/anime adaptation movies, its true that most suxx but not all, there are few that worked. For example, Rurouni Kenshin live-action Trilogy, The 2006 Japanese Death Note live-action 1&2 was decent too compared to the shitty Netflix Death Note and not to forget the recent Bleach live-action from 2018 which was released in Netflix was Great as well. Please do your research more well before saying all the japanese live-actions are bad.
Never said all, but you said it yourself most are bad films. Yes I know of the one's you speak of, they're not great in fact I'm not sure if most people even like them. I'm not saying you're necessarily wrong that's your opinion, but just cause I dont have the same opinion isn't because I'm ignorant to Japanese media. Just trust me on that.
@@OneFairReview I don't think you even know few of the ones I had mentioned. That's clearly a crystal lie cause you're not even sure about how people even like them. Trust me they really loved them. Not just like. You shouldn't talk about something you are fully not aware of. It's a joke to a hardcore all around the world movie watchers like us. Not just your typical Hollywood.
Yes of course, I'm not aware of Death Note, Rurouni Kenshin, and Bleach. I am by the way aware of them if that's not clear. Listen I'm not bashing them, I said they're not great. Unless you truly think I'm this person who's pretending to know of these movies, don't assume you know what I know. I wouldn't make bold claims with nothing to back them, if you say people like live action Japanese manga adaptations I have no doubt in my many people do, doesn't really mean anything. My point was focused on Hollywood, not Japan. I made one comment about Japanese adaptations, if you disagree that's fine if everyone agreed with me that would be strange.
Its really debatable wether the movies you mentioned are good or not. But besides its not like a few good apples in a barrel of shitty ones makes a big difference. Just accept most adaptations of beloved anime or manga tend to suc the big one.
@@OneFairReview Hugo shouldn't have been Alita love interested, he should have been her frist friend. So that character could have but an impact on Alita like the OVA.
@@OneFairReview the bar sence for example they turned zapan into a F*ckboy just so Alita could beat him up and defeat toxic masculinity, steal his sword and destroy the last of ido daughter. In just 30 mins..... Who wrote this fan fiction. Give us the original story. Hugo was never selfish, he just had a dream. Alita admired his drive, and was trying to get involved in Hugo life. Hugo didn't understand he was chasing clout... And died for it. 🤣
Hugo did have a dream and one that he was willing to do anything to achieve. Including letting people die and leaving behind Alita. That's what makes the moment powerful in the story. Now for the most part it follows the original story pretty well while also taking liberties. Is it the best adaptation, no, but it's an enjoyable movie that keeps true to the source material enough while also having a more "American" twist to it. Is it for everyone? No, but it's not a bad watch.
Happy to hear not every adaptation is terrible. I hope to see better ones as we go into the future, but at the same time we really don't need them adapted. Cowboy Bebop just blows my mind why would they even remake it?
They finally did it! I look forward to seeing this again. I hope it gets a sequel.
Peeled oranges and chocolate for everyone.
Watched Alita again last night, but this that in Dolby 3D, that made it even more spectacular!
I loved the 3d in this, it's so seamless that you barely even notice it, it just pulls you into the world more.
support alita, we need a sequel! btw she's not an android, she's a cyborg: meaning human brain in machine, like robocop...
I watched it on sunday glad it turned out to be a hit
I really want a sequel
Great review! Will go for the 3D soon! Thanks! 😊

Alita is a cyborg not an android. Her brain is living tissues while an android is full robotics.
Its been brought to my attention, slip of the tongue. Didn't even realize I said that till others pointed it out. Sorry for the mistake.

This is the best review I’ve seen for this film I agree %100 with you

Since I love it so much and watched it nth times I lost count I'll score it a 9/10 or a 10/10.
Fraud, bring in the Fate content!
blade of the imortal or bleach is a good movie adaptation
oh anothe opinionated person! hello nice to see more reviews on this movie.
