Well, first and foremost: It was satisfying as fuck. From the first fight when she was protecting Ido, I was in my seat with absolute glee watching her kick absolute ass. Alita herself was endearing as all hell, and really grew on me. One thing I loved is that every fight had a purpose to it, even the most meaningless one, which I'd saw was the bar fight. Even then it established something, as well as being a fun scene. All the battles were, every one just unique and fun to watch. You rooted for her the whole way through. Storywise, it took me a bit to get used to the pacing at the beginning. It was weird to be just dropped into this world I know nothing about along with a clueless protagonist, but I got used to it. I loved how the story kept adding more and more, but it all felt well paced, and felt like a good amount of time was spent on each part without it ever feeling like it dragged or went on for too long. Now knowing that it was based off of a manga makes a lot of sense. I really liked how things didn't happen because of Alita appearing, but because Alita took the initiative herself to get the ball rolling. It was all dependent on Alita's character, not on just the fact that she's the new guy on the block. The story was fun to watch unravel, and there are probably some things I missed that I'll catch after rewatching, but it was all comprehensive and moved smoothly. I didn't expect to get so emotionally invested, especially around the end. I genuinely felt attached to what was happening. There's only a few real issues that come to mind. There were two scenes where the way the camera cut felt jarring, other than that, editing job was great. The time to process Hugo's death was too short, especially considering the movie was right near it's end, but the way they transitioned it to the ending scene was pretty great, so I forgive it. Plus the fact that you get that time after you watched the movie. (cont)

The biggest criticism I can give is that it ended too soon, and I really mean that as a criticism and not in a "oh, it was so good I want more". I understand why that's the case of course, but it really just felt like all this momentum that remained was properly sent off. It's like saving your spell points, you get more and more, and there's time you use them to get a payoff, but you still have some left over that you didn't use. Not a great analogy, but the best way I could explain it. I think the best way to view Alita would be like how you watch a musical, the first movie is the first act, then you get a thirty minute or so break after that ends, and the second act (second movie) starts off, and you continue from where you left off.

Overall, I loved it, it was visually fun, had satisfying fights, and a story that you can get attached to. It's like Hardcore Henry, but more polished and with more of a focus on the story and there I say, better fights? I'm excited to watch it again for a second time, and I'm really, really glad I got to watch it in the first place. God bless this movie, and bless the chocolate eating scene because I just fucking love chocolate and that sound it made every time she bit into it.

There's a bit more that I can say about it, but it wouldn't really be about the movie itself.

I mainly compare because of how satisfying the fights were in both films. I stand by the fact that Hardcore Henry has one of the most satisfying movie finales of all time, but Alita had a lot more to it that was satisfying overall. Cheers, I'm really glad I enjoyed it too, haha. I genuinely want to share Alita with as many people as I can, I'm amazed by how much I was blown away by it.

As a fan of the manga i think they could have left out the mars flashbacks, Nova and most of the motorball stuff.
Ending with Hugo's ashes on a baloon flying to Zalem and finally Ido going into a motorball match and seeing Alita. Basically stick even more to the structure of the manga. But it would have been a different movie.

Well there was no way they could keep a megaham FlanMan Nova the OrganPlayer in the movie. It was necessary to keep the tone. But I can't imagine Norton ignoring some of the more sinister jokes.
It might even be why he's on the cast, to keep that part on track. He's got a reputation for that sort of thing.

Stop replying to bait.

There is Panzer Kunst, but she hasn't remembered any of the really interesting techniques this early in the movie. I expect we'll get more in the sequels.
Elbow blade was shown at the end, which lines up with when she gets it in the manga.
Zapan is in the movie. He looks different, but he acts the same and honestly he looks fucking stupid in the manga. That beard is just ridiculous.
I'll give you Jashugon, hope they retcon that.
Werewolf is stupid, glad they didn't keep it.
Desty Nova isn't even in the manga this early, he can easily be shown to be hilarious in the sequels. Also

I just came back from watching the movie again, I noticed something. I'm not becoming immune to the emotional scenes, they actually hit harder each time I see the movie again, what is my heart trying to tell me with this?

This. I wanna know. Did it get released in Japan?

If they base it on the recap films, the first half would cost twice the budget of ABA ON PART ONE.

I think I care so much about sequels because of all the possibilities there are. Finally a return to true blockbuster cinema, the neo-noir science fiction days (I mean they even had Jennifer Connolly and she was in Dark City) and even the gritty spaghetti westerns. You've already got Robert Rodriguez for Once Upon a Time in Mexico, Sin City, and then Jim for his realistic science fiction takes (and awesome tech-noir Terminator shit), it's a fucking match in heaven for me, like the perfect combination. I want to see them go all out on it and do the genres justice. It's been far too long.

I want him to finish Alita before doing anything else.

The only nascent hope for a sequel I've been able to summon up is an idea where alita expends the last bit of energy she can to plasma arc up at salem, and nova is down in the scrapyard, somewhere, guiding her to a real conclusion.

Because fuck the idea that nova is the king of salem and is alita's 300 year old mission objective.

Honestly, I just want to fundamentally good again and not just be distracted by quips.

I have no idea but I watched the movie four times and the emotional scenes like Hugo's death and alitas utter pain just kept hitting harder for me. There's one part in particular where she's just whispering don't die over and over again. Her delivery is just so goddamn authentic that it never failed to get me water eyed. Rosa literally shot up from no name status to legend in my radar and I will definitely keep an eye out for her in the future.

I found out I can get it locally here in NYC so it's not as big a deal as I thought

it sucks that there's literally no room for that the way the first movie ends. as the primary reason she gets saved is because salem wants nova back.

I'm talking about the trilogy final.

But yes, the second film should end either with the closing recycling compartment doors, or playing the harmonica after the White Room.

As long as they don't interfere with the greater business of the Party, yeah they're pretty alright.

>his love for Alita wasn't very believable
If you want to go back to the source, his love for alita should have never been believable, because the entire point of the character is he's only manipulating alita to survive another day to pursue his dream of getting to salem.

For an user who only knows about Alita from the movie, can you explain what all that means

Tell him one movie has 10 years of MCU and 65 years of comic and the whole Disney marketing machine where Rotten Tomato purged negative reviews and Youtube changed search algorithm to shill for.
The other is an insignificant girl from an obscure comic that was an inspiration for the Terminator and Avatar and was only brought to life because of passion by the film creators against all odds.

Before the movie came out, were you going to watch it?
Waited for him?
Did you know about him?
What did you think to see?
What did you get?
I knew about the film a long time ago, but that he had come to know in January.
I did not wait.
Not going to look.
I went almost exclusively out of boredom and out of a desire to write a couple of devastating texts on the Internet on the topic "again they mocked the manga of my youth."
I expected, at best, a boring Marvel.
I got a hole in my heart and looked at it eight times.

Scott Mendelson told me that the Alita Challenge failed. Why are you people still shilling for this flop?
It's never going to make it's money back. Even with an extension in China, 700 million is just impossible at this point. Shouldn't you all give up and go watch Captain Marvel? Enjoy yourselves at the movies for once.

>Before the movie came out, were you going to watch it?
Hell no, the trailers with the big eyes looked so dumb that I refused to give it a chance.
Then I went to some Alita threads to see what my broskis thought of it.
Turned out you guys praised it so much I had to go see for myself.

she was probably busy with her dark capeshit movies, and her hair too

she looks like a ayy version of the original Alita

but since we probably won't see Anya Magik in theaters ever, it would be nice to see her in Alita II, whatever is more likely

Read the manga, here you go

Fucking based Ido is going to gas everyone in JeruZalem

Scott Mendleson is a gentleman of an intellectual persuasion, a critic and scholar of cinema, and he knows these things. The Alita Challenge was a pathetic attempt by lonely men (who hate women) to go see Alita in protest of Captain Marvel. It is pathetic and it has failed.

Okay. I'd like to know about this factory, Alita getting sent there, why it's sad, this White Room, the harmonica, etc

i started reading the manga in high school.
i knew about james cameron wanting to do the movie before avatar was made.
i was giving up when he announced he was going to make avatar 2.
i just saw the first trailer, thinking how much they fucked up with the eyes choice.
then forced myself to not look at other stuff like interviews and wikipedia until i saw the movie, and when i did it was a blast

Hadn't had a clue what this was about, and only saw a few seconds of a really early trailer. I liked the music used in the trailer actually, I saved a tab of it, and even wrote down a note about it which I have to this day. But no, I hadn't planned to watch it.
Nope, had no clue about anyone involved, until now.
I thought it'd be a decent movie that I could laugh at a little due to it's ties with anime. Nothing too special.
Instead I got a great movie which I absolutely adore and had a really fun time with.

700m? No, I heard it was 900m!

Same thing happened with me, it's weird. I just kind of felt everything a little bit more on each viewing. Last one was rough, though I think I might just have been a little melancholy knowing it might be the last time I get to see her on the big screen. I guess I'll find out if I end up crying like a bitch when the blu-ray drops.

Nope. I knew nothing of the manga and the trailers left me super cold and wondering just what the fuck they were thinking with the eyes. Ended up seeing it on a whim because my local IMAX had just opened its doors and I wanted to check out the massive screen. I expected nothing, but four trips later and well...

So she's recovered from the scrap heap, rebuilt, fights and beats Berserker Zapan, and gets scrapped again? Still unclear about the White Room and the harmonica. Guess I'll just read the manga.

No there's motorball first. Lots and lots of Motorball. She gets rekt there too.

Yes, do that.

She actually loses.

She loses a lot in the manga, which is part of what makes it so great. Beating everyone all the time wouldn't make for an interesting story.
