All trailers I've seen looked awesome but yeah the eyes are just creepy as fuck. Makes me feel really uncomfortable. Good to hear they toned it down a bit.

She is really beautiful in the movie so don't worry.

So...

Seen it ! LOVED IT ! Best live manga adaptation of all time (with "Oldboy"). It follows pretty much the first two volumes with less violence (but still violent in the movie). In the manga, Alita is kind of a sociopath and sometimes enjoy killing her ennemy (because of the person she used to be in the past). She still kills in this movie.

They can adapt other volumes and easily do a trilogy. (but it will be the case only if the movie is doing good at the box office).

3D is dope but I prefer to see no 3D in action scenes actually ^^.

I've been hearing very good things about it from actual moviegoers. Just shows how disconnected movie critics have become from general audiences.

F*** movie critics.

I really want to see it but she's just so uncanny valley that it's off putting, like a Pixar Disney Princess in the real world... it's mostly the eyes but it just makes me uneasy and I can't bring myself to watch the film due to it.

You know I didn't like it neither on the trailers. But in the movie she is beautiful, like really.

Worst case you can still see it later when it will be airing somewhere.

The public reaction has been positive so far, even if they don't really know  the source material. Check IMDB.com for people ratings when it will be out.

Yup, there seems to be another disconnect between critic and audience reception so far judging by the early reviews. Chris Stuckmann, Jeremy Jahns and several other YouTubers said they liked it as well.

I'm not familiar with the source material, but I plan on seeing it. This'll be the last film under Fox as a standalone studio, so why not?

Yikes. I forgot that Dis-nee bought them out too. What could go wrong though?......*Cough*

I just watched it. Loved the action sequences but didn't enjoy the story too much. I found it to be a little bit cheesy and had problems with the pacing of it.

But overall I found it to be a good movie. I would give it a solid 7.



Just saw it. Was very entertained. I do hate when characters in movies shout "NO"" - so yeah, those made me crinch a bit. But cool movie - visual marvel and great action scenes.

For sure. They shit on so many good movies, and then like movies that are absolute trash like Star Wars episode 8

True dat.

Just a guy who doesn't want to be bored. Also

Just got back from seeing it and wow! Honestly it's already one of my favorite movies of all time.


For those complaining about the big eyes being off putting. It's not! It's hardly noticeable after the first few minutes, and it's part of the reason this movie works. Along with the heart and soul, Alita is one of the most emotionally fragile and human characters ever put on screen. I often found myself agreeing with her point of view at all times. This movie would have not worked with any other actress asides from Rosa Salazar who absolutely killed it in her performance. She can make some pretty crazy anime faces in real life too. Both Christoph Waltz and Ali Mahershala were also high points. The whole cast was quite phenomenal.

The action is some of the best I've ever seen. Completely blowing all my expectations. Not much can be said without spoiling the movie so I'm just going to avoid doing that. Everyone whose skeptical should give this film a solid chance. The majority of the theater stayed after the credits to see the if there was anything after the film. Which sadly there wasn't. It's clear the audience love this film and want more!

People complaining about the critics. Here's one of the most positive, and honest things I read about the film and while it's simply a master piece. I still can't believe the film is 3.5 Petabytes in data size and her eyes alone are 8.5 million polygons per eye. Just a few fun facts that can be read in the link.
