They said it was impossible but he did it.

Saw the movie today, finally.
It was quite decent. Not great, but decent. I think a lot of my lack of excitement was due to the fact that I'd read the manga and knew what was going to happen.
Still, Alita herself is the best fucking part of he movie. I just love this 100%-sincere dork. I don't remember the last movie whose MC I liked this much.
The eyes were weird though. They didn't bother me much, but I couldn't help but think this gimmick wasn't ultimately needed.

I unfortunately saw TFA in 3D with friends and it was fucking annoying to watch, let alone the movie itself being crap. When I got my IMAX ticket for Alita, I didn't appreciate it was in 3D at the time because the fucking website didn't make it clear. However i didnt have any issues with the 3D at all, it never felt out and in my face and just shitty. Really did actually pull me in more.

Saw it again on Monday in 2D and still liked it, even more than the first time somehow. China better save this movie since NA let everyone fucking down it seems so far

here's some talking points:

1. jaw-dropping special effects and world class action sequences (motorball is the best race scene since podracing)

2. very fast-paced, zero filler or drawn out dialogue, packs three story arcs of Gunnm into two hours

3. Alita is cute

Attached: 1546545780954.jpg (283x263, 11K)

The big eyes helped differentiate Alita being a cyborg from the humans in the movie. It makes sense she would have big eyes. She is a warrior and would need the advantage of big eyes for a wider field of vision during battle.

Ouch

Whoever wrote the script should be shot. The rate of cringy lines per minute is out of this world

I have seen Alita in both 2 and 3 D. It was too flat for me in 2D. The 3D is what I will go see again this weekend because it has so much depth and clarity.

>Alita is cute
She is not just cute, she is refreshingly no-bullshit, brutal, honest, a bit bonkers, genuinely strong without forcing in or excessive posing, and at the same time very feminine character.
She's great.

Man, I fucking hope they make a sequel. The full motorball arc and more Nova are going to be amazing.

Just saw it last night and I've got to say Alita's movie sucked. Overwrought garbage with twice the budget it needed relying on well worn cliches we've all seen a dozen times already in better movies like Robocop, Elysium, and AI.

Alita herself was great however. I liked her more than I liked any protagonist from any franchise film in recent memory. I want to see more of her struggle. I liked seeing her in action, I loved her personality and energy, that optimism she had was infectious. I'm kinda bummed once this movie bombs we'll never see her again. She's more fun than anyone of the big comic book heroes with the exception of maybe the new kid playing spiderman.

Maybe ask the theatre to play the movie at speed for you next time if you can't keep up.

Here me out, I had waited on the movie for 18 years, got the deluxe box set next to my old Viz copies too. I knew when i went in that it could never live up to the 18 years of hype and when it was done, i was satisfied...it didn't feel great or bad but I was just okay. I felt it was a 6/10 maybe a 7.

I saw it again a week later and somehow...it was much better. I can't explain it especially since I never like movies more on the second viewing. But i would say if you are willing, give it a week and then go see it again.

Yeah, I was actually going to do that. It's very weird how this movie makes me want to see it again even though I wasn't in complete awe of it or anything. This literally never happens with me.

That's a good point. Alita's large eyes would let more light in when in the dark. Definitely an advantage for night/low light combat.

Don't forget she's cocky, reckless and extremely stubborn. And these qualities ACTUALLY have ramifications not only in the movie but the manga itself. Best part is does she learn to control herself more and curb these problems? Not at all.

That's how it gets you

>Worn cliches

Nigger, BAA was probably the grandmom of most of those "cliches" in the cyberpunk genre. Show some respect.

Reminder that if you like Alita you understand nothing about women.

Which ones do you mean exactly?

Source lol?

>this movie makes me want to see it again even though I wasn't in complete awe of it or anything
I think the movie has this effect because it is so fast paced and full of details that get delivered in an instant. The first viewing is just enough to take in the action and get a minor grasp of the story and detail. The second viewing the story details fill in and everything starts coming together. The third viewing is the best as it can be fully enjoyed without scrambling to figure out what is going on or be distracted by the intense action. At least that was my experience anyway.

Some people just have the courage to say what we're all thinking.

Cameron owns Alita's movie rights. Disney does not own Fox yet. Disney will not see a dime from Alita. All of Alita's proceeds go to Cameron, Fox and stockholders. Disney's MCU is in direct competition with Alita.

Now go away you filthy Disney paid disinformation MCU shill.

Elysium was ok but in no way better than Alita.
Alita herself was 100% the best part though. Was actually pretty dissapointed by Ido & Norton, Cameron didn't let them get hammy and both are total hams. (Both the actors & the characters)
Probably would have been better to switch their casting, or tap Willem Dafoe or even Nic Cage.

Snuggle and cuddle while I playfully feed her oranges and chocolate.

This, it's like the people who say Avatar on Blu-ray on their 3D 48" TV and said they didn't get what all the hype was about.

The only way to experience Alita is in IMAX 3D. When it's out of theaters and out of IMAX you won't be able to see it again only poor imitations.

This.

Gonna tell you the truth, I went to see it expecting a heroine that treats all men in a passive agressive way, a rebel without cause and someone that only cares about herself, the very same things that usually make me hate heroines in most recent movies.

I got so happy when I found out she was exactly the opposite of that, she didn't need to look like a man and act like one to be considered powerful and strong, they made her likeable and cute while also making her a death machine that can rip anyone to shreads.

I love Alita.

Don't worry, one day a great filmmaker will eventually put his heart and soul into something you truly love too. No need to be salty, user.

1. Hugo is not a smart lad in general.
2. It is much better explored in the manga. He was basically absolutely shaken and broken by the loss of his real body after being forced into a shitty robotic one and had a nervous breakdown.

My cat is awake right now el retardo

>1. Hugo is not a smart lad in general.
And yet he lead a crew of humans that incapacitated cyborgs and stripped their parts for the dude who was basically the top kingpin on earth.

This movie was fun and all, but the ending was rushed to shit and ruined the whole thing.

What the fuck even called this on? Are you alright, anons? Did someone upset you today?

Sad how these losers have to do mental gymnastics to justify the gaping logic holes in this flick. If only they could focus their energy into a career, they'd earn more than minimum wage.

Yeah you're definitely a broke little reddit bitch.

He was wanted for murder, just chased out of Ido's clinic in a walled city, and up until that time a big part of why he loves Alita is that he sees her as his ticket to get up to Zalem.

As somebody who's never read or watched the source material it made sense to me. I didn't notice any plotholes in the story apart from "why don't we just show up at Ido's clinic and grab the bitch". Are they afraid they'll get the hunter-warriors and the community revolting against them and cutting the cables to the space elevator thingy?

I told you to post a pic of you shitty home, loser. I want to laugh at how sad your existence is.

Manga tells it better, but the movie conveys that Nova told the factory that Hugo was still alive and went to get him so he had to escape to the only place he felt he could go.

Manga shows him have a full on mental breakdown when he sees his robot body and learning that Vector lied to him, that his whole meaning of life was based on a lie. He climbs up the pipes, throws his chips down to people below and tries to climb up only to meet the same fate

You can't escape your destiny

They should have shown the horror that losing your body is
It would have explained

>differentiate and elevate Alita who despite being a cyborg retains her humanity and compassion and empathy
Still it would be very hard to fit these themes in 5 minutes, it would need at least half hour to fully develop so I guess they did the right thing with quickly disposing Hugo
They can develop these themes in the sequel

Still a flawless amazing film in my opinion

There was an interview with Robert who addresses this along with the two hour runtime and despite me wanting more too, I understand why he did it

I can’t go broke either so I watch the cam rip in between trips to the theater to see it again

I'm saying that what I initially perceived as a flaw isn't because I'm sure the creators already thought about it and let it out
So the film is still flawless

Doing it as long and successfully as him? Yes, you do.

I'm not the doofus, but I'd say how they didn't just show up at Ido's clinic and get Alita is a bit of a plothole. It would cause a scene and upset the local community, and Chiren might not want to harm Ido. But Nova has no such qualms.

I guess the question to every "why" in the next movie would be "Because Nova thinks it's more entertaining that way."

Nova's casting is pretty phenomenal desu.

Cringe

So Nova can just take over whomever he wants on Earth? Why not just take over Ido?

>got myself all 9 volumes of the original manga in a nice collector box
>really like it overall
>that ending
holy shit I thought I liked it when I read it years ago but it really feels like a fever dream now that I got back to it. I started reading Last Order, is Mars Chronicle worth the read?

He can only take over people who has a chip in them. Chiren and Ido don't have a chip. At least that's what the movie claimed.

I did notice him hearing what Hugo and Alita said on the tube though, so it's possible that he had a chip in Hugo. Or really good long-range microphones.

A better question is why Nova kept Ido alive. For his amusement?

Would disturb local 'peace' a lot and Vector always tried to keep it in the dark. There are a lot of ways to murder someone legally in that city. Also, there's assumption to be made Ido owns a small arsenal being both the brilliant scientist and hunter warrior he is.

>Has a slutty lover and a big deformed assistant
>Behaves like a stereotypical mad scientist, laughing loudly while talking about his crazy theories
>Loves chaos above all

Movie Nova :
>Is 300 years old
>Is simply called Nova
>Lives in Zalem
>Controls fucking everything on the surface
>Possibly also controls Zalem
>Speaks calmly

The only good thing about the original manga ending is the organic Alita nipple we see at the end. It's a rushed ending the author had do make because he had serious health issues at that time.

I'm currently reasing Last Order, haven't read Mars Chronicles yet so I can't answer your question.

>Without China

Is he?

I liked it better when it was called Elysium.

Ido is a pillar of the community, with both the civilians and hunter-warriors, and we don't know what Kevin McCallister traps he might have set in his house. It's never shown in the movie though. What is shown is that the hunter-warriors like him, but not enough to stop the bad guy.

For Nova to work as a bad guy moving forward, we need for him to be at risk in some way from other actors in Zalem or Iron City. There needs to be a sort of balance of terror here where he would die if he takes things too far and upsets the order of things.

>$700 mi in China and Japan alone

the original title is Gunnm, user :)

Rewatched that after because I wanted more of the setting and Blomkamp truly is a boring director. The movie is so painfully mediocre, it's stunning. He truly is a one trick pony.

lol

>It's never shown in the movie though.
I mean that as a bad thing - just to clarify. If there was an apparent reason why Nova doesn't just send the Centurions there (like talk about how he's an outcast from Zalem's society or something) I still count it as a plot hole. Though not one that destroyed my enjoyment of the movie.

Agreed. I think the risk pretty much lies in him going overboard and making his direct influence too obvious.

Literally fake news lol

I'm pretty certain Elysium plagiarized Alita.

China just made Alita 20 million on Friday, so we are definitely looking at a 55 plus million opening weekend for them. Good for them and us!

Let's see how Japan fares and how the US does over the weekend. Foreign markets haven't been tallied in awhile, so an additional big drop will happen from those countries. I imagine by next Monday or Tuesday, the film will be sitting above 300 million.

>Mendelson is now changing his tune
I didn't expect such a rabid Disney bootlicker to actually report on good things for Alita

Let's not celebrate yet, this is but one victory. There's still a battle going on.

He did daily reports on how good Aquaman and Wonder Woman were doing. I don't why you think he only praises Disney.

He lives by hate-clicks. Hate-clicks from Alita-haters can sell as much advertising as hate-clicks from Disney-haters, I posit.

Why do so many of these manga artists have "health issues"? What is this code for?

It's about to get a lot bigger with foreign markets getting updated after a full week and two big markets opening.

That figure is from before China and Japan openings. Add China's and Japan's box office to 151,000,000 for a more accurate estimate.

$150 million is the optimistic scenario in China. $135 million is the more likely outcome.

I've been monitoring everything for the past week. Many countries have not had their numbers updated since the 10th, so there'll be a random jump in numbers this weekend when they get updated.

boxoffice mojo has numbers updated to the 20th, just 2 days ago

>>Disney will own all profits fox makes on alita

Sure. But Hollywood accounting is weird. We sort of need to see the actual financing deals and who gets how much gross points before we know how much the studio makes. Nothing like a Hollywood accountant to make a box office success "lose" money for tax purposes even if the financiers made huge profits.

Are you fucking dumb? I said other countries, like foreign wise.

>Disney wants to tank Alita so they don't have to pay taxes
>thinking disney pays taxes
holy shit you guys are deluded. get a fucking girlfriend this alita bitch is not gonna come out of the screen and suck your dick for defending her movie

20th includes just the domestic total

not getting enough sleep and high stress does awful things to your body

They work all day without any rest days for years. Maybe someone from Yea Forums has that pic of Oda's or Mashima's schedule. I don't remember which one was it but it was ridiculous.

>Disney now owns fox
Merger is not yet complete, so no, they do not.
>Disney will own all profits fox makes on alita
They don't, as again Fox isn't Disney yet.
>autists now think disney is trying to tank alita box office so that they can make less money
We can see you bullshit from a mile away you fucking shill.

3 hours of free time? Goddamn slacker!

>Are you fucking dumb? I said other countries, like foreign wise.

>20th includes just the domestic total

You two are correct. It's only updated till February 17th for most of the countries. Most countries on BoxOfficeMojo aren't reported daily.

self reflection on social communical issues is not a typical characteristic of AssBurgers

>UPVOTE REDDIT STYLE

seriously. how can you love someone if you never met them. you are just obsessed

Attached: 1550378305615.png (1167x800, 1020K)

as am I, although it is not a sexual love, but rather one of worship. She is perfection is an imperfect world and the only thing I can ever hope for is that one day there will be someone like her.

Considering she can walk underwater I doubt that would be an issue.

user I...

this

they work too hard and get sick. poor japanese artists

Kek

How much of a cyborg would you become if we had tech like in Alita?
(If you upload your brain you become a robot not cyborg)
For me I would only do it to replace any missing limbs
a full body cyborg seems too extreme of a change

This, I've been coming to Yea Forums since 07 and I liked Alita

well, yes, love without knowing someone is just obsession, so I love/be obsessed with a character I'll never know
I feel like you think you pulled a gotcha on me

>Implying you are not the one shitting out this narrative.

Should I read the manga first or watch the movie???

Yeah these threads are totally not full of newfags who love this movie Go ahead and now pretend you haven't seen this post now, shill

Take your meds schizo

Replace my digestive system because I have a whole shit ton of health issues with it.

>Critics
I'm going to say because Robert Rodriguez isn't part of the Director's Guild of America and they can't let non members make successful movies. Kind of like how all the critics panned George Lucas's prequels while sucking off the sequels.

Why weren't you here even 6 months ago?

That cancer pasta was made by someone to take a dig on Alita you idiot.

Also alcoholism and overwork

Cheer up, user, the reason people look up to her is that she represents a part of all of us. And it's not her being a perfect being that speaks to us, it's her spirit overcoming her physical and mental flaws to become something greater than she thought she could be. Of getting up to fight when people think she's done for.

So she's 300 years old? You are millions of years old (wo)man! You're the result of generations of creation. Messy, wayward, tragic, but triumphing in the face of it all. And this is just the beginning.

Imagine being such a pusyboi that your gf paid you the whole trip, meal included of course.

you mean all those ones that have bad scores from audiences as well? except for alita since he has a budget that can support shills?

Watch the movie then read the manga

It was also evident that she paid the toll.

>You wouldn't be writing that if she were fat

She is a literal brain in a jar. The brain is about 60% fat.

user has fallen deeply in love with paralyzed and crippled girls where there was no hope of any physical love. Sure, a healthy body carried with attitude is what is seen as physically attractive by most people - but I guarantee you that all those guys who went to see Aquaman weren't there because they were gay for Jason Momoa.

Based

Only if it's The Rock playing Figure 4

Bump

omg this guy posted his vegas receipts to prove something online lmao

Movie first, otherwise the manga might ruin the ruin the movie and give you high expectations. Should be movie first, then OVA, then manga.

fuck off shes mine, i was with her for 20 years now all your marvel fags are trying to jump ship because of Captain Brie foot fungus

This makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the explanation. I think I won't now, as you bring good points. Still, though, it's damn nice. Wish I was a richfag...

>marvel fags are trying to jump ship because of Captain Brie foot fungus
Who isn't? No one likes her or wants her, and it's painfully obvious from miles away she's going to one punch Thanos and then give a speech complaining about men ruining everything. No one likes preachy movies.

Bump again
Why are alitafags so fucking new?

>Critics 59% Audience 94%

When was the last time there was a 45% difference between critics and audience?

Oldfag here, love Alita, your retarded.

Attached: hmmm.png (685x605, 444K)

There's 54% difference for Venom.

I think James Cameron just wanted the Disney eyes that he had for Avatar because he knew people would find a character with big eyes more innocent, sincere, and lovable.

They could just be trolling us and actually put Monica Rambeau in Endgame. I mean, Marvel Comics knows how unpopular Carol Danvers with the comics audience, and I don't think Bob Eiger and Kevin Feige is as stupid as Marvel Comics is when it comes to producing stuff that the audience clearly doesn't want. No?

Of course.

Yeah just try and keep your tickets so that when shills start to try and claim N-NO ONE HAS ACTUALLY SEEN THIS FILM MULTIPLE TIMES, like they're starting to a little, you can btfo them.

Start reading what you're responding to. I'm skipping Disney's Captain Marvel. Might see Shazam!, but not sure about that.
