The Alita movie was awesome! I came in with low expectations, but it ended up being an incredibly well-made movie. It's also doggedly faithful to the spirit of the manga, and they never dumb down any of the science fiction. A++ definitely go see it.

Rosa Salazar and Christoph Waltz should get Oscars. Actually everyone's performance was incredibly good. I'm not used to seeing that in a big budget movie.

That's what you get from a labor of love. Sadly, my spouse won't be able to see it - he gets naseous when he looks at the uncanny valley big eye effect on the commercials.

Watch it in IMAX 3D! Definitely worth the money.

Waltz was so good. That casting made me happy.

I'm a Long time reader of the Manga and I just watched it last night, I too had low expectations and was relatively happy with it, Though there were so many changes to the story it is a different story, the atmosphere was captured fairly well. That said I felt there were far too few Cybers on the streets. A scene with someone being converted to cyber on the street was also one of those hings that set the tone in the Manga That was a little lacking in the movie IMHO. Pretty much all cybers are hunter-warriors, or bad guys, very few background characters seemed to be cyber. Will go back to see it again to see what I missed the first time.

I expected this to be annoying, but it really wasn't distracting or all that weird, IMHO.

Minor spoilers ahead: Things like Duke(the dog)'s death and no Koyomi (baby captured by Makaku(now called Grewishka)) do make me a bit sad. Who will show us the noble side of the Barjack in the next movies? The plasma sword was also a contrived and unneeded prop IMHO, like you need laser swords in your sci-fi to be cool....

okay then! a source I respect Aaron) says Yes so I'll go. I even have some upcoming bachelorhood for a few days so the timing is perfect!

The way they made him pronounce "Panzerkunst" must have made his heart bleed though...

I loved the movie. The love interest was a bit horrible, but he was horrible in the manga too. Sometimes being true to the source is a thorny path.
