Hollywood movies aren’t my thing but I gotta admit, Rodriguez did an amazing job with this film. The characters are believable and develop nicely, the music is top notch, the action scenes are a treat to watch & the ending was poignant & kinda cliffhangery but extremely well executed. What an experience this movie was. The manga series while still good, doesn’t hold a candle against the perfectly crafted narrative of its live action counterpart.
Just typing this makes me want to go to my nearest cinema to watch it again!
I watched it, it's bad The dialogue is embarrassing, the plot is unfocussed and all a setup for a sequel that it doesn't deserve, the acting is bad The action fights are well animated, but have no stakes and no tension, it's just motion and noise Stop trying to trick people into watching this, it's not funny

The music was trash it was mostly just generic orchestra music. They missed a perfectly good opportunity to try something different like some cyberpunk or any electronic music

Expected a Battle Royale live action and got Hunger Games.
I can't get past the eyes, it just doesn't fit in live action. When will the normal eye version come out?
Christian Martinez
Western Fate adaptation when? That's the next logical step. Michael Cera can play Shiro.

I remember when I said that soon enough this place will be plagued by live action just shills just like Yea Forums. People laughed at me, said that live action based on anime would never catch on. Well it's starting now, Yea Forums. The beginning of the end is here.
Brayden Garcia
Sounds like copy paste.

I don't like that board, do me a solid. If I like it I'll watch it and buy the movie. Imagine that, shill successful.

>shills Yeah except calling everyone around you as shills is Yea Forums behavior. But well.Yea Forums is Yea Forums after all.
So they pay you for each post, right? I'd tell you that things will get better, but you're a shill for hollywood which means I hope you and your masters die and rot in hell.
Luis Perez
Because Alita remains feminine while being a strong female character. And being feminine for some reason enforces the patriarchy or whatever.
Asher Lopez
Nobody that paid to watch this movie actually likes anime
Alexander Nguyen
Yeah Yea Forums is turning to shit, Yea Forums is becoming Yea Forums, how does Yea Forums do it? Next you'll probably say I'm seething, or how will I ever cope. It's getting boring seeing shitposters samefagging their thread with these demoralization posts every time.

After only watching the OVA, I gotta say this movie was a fun watch. Alita's eyes in the trailer really bothered me but I didn't have a problem with it once the movie actually started. Some of the dialogue is weak. Yugo is a cookie cutter teen romance love interest and it shows. He's the worst part by far but they managed to still give him a satisfying ending. Not sure why user thought the music was great. It does what it needs to do but its generic. The action is good, the story is good, Alita is good. Also Christoph Waltz
It was bad and you should feel bad for liking it. I saw some positive reviews of it that praised the movie for being faithful to the manga, but it was more faithful to the freaking OVA with the scientist lady and her pointless OC plot. And sure there were a couple of cool scenes, and lots of effort was clearly put into making the characters look the part. Still doesn't change the fact that it was an embarrassing mess overall.
Dominic Reyes
weebshill fuck off
Anthony Sullivan
Is this thread bait or shill?
No true Yea Forums's man will watch Alita because the people who made it doesn't understand what the big eyes in anime really is for.
They just thought, 'oh look, those weebs like big eyed girls. Lets make a movie with big eyed girls and take their money. But wait it's too big. Let's make it a bit smaller so that normal people might watch too.'
>complaining about weebs on Yea Forums Go back to your jazz threads, Yea Forums

Matthew Turner
I'd say the Jackie Chan version of City Hunter was entertaining. But then that may have been more to do with Jackie Chan acting less like Ryo Saeba and more like....Jackie Chan in that movie.
Daniel Brown
The eyes were the least of that movie's issues tbqh. And you can always watch the camrip if you don't like funding hollyjews.
Aaron Diaz

Just saw it. I've been an anime fan since the mid 90s and I literally never thought I'd live to see a genuinely great Hollywood adaptation of a manga. But somehow, that's what I just saw.
Jacob Jenkins
Either you're a paid shill or a falseflagger. No matter which one it is, this thread is shit.
Blake Mitchell
I really don't get the complaining about the eyes. She's a fucking cyborg. The eyes make her look like a doll. Her first body looks exactly like that of a mechanical doll.
The entire reason Hiro made 4channel was for advertiser money. They toss him a fat wad of cash and in exchange the marketers have free reign. Yesterday they had 9 threads up for over 2 hours and any thread made calling them out got deleted.

It was way better than I was expecting it to be. The source material was so easy to fuck up but I guess it's a good thing Cameron is a fucking weeb and a fan of the manga.
-Alita's eyes which people bitched about actually aren't that bad, you forget about them a few minutes into the film. The effects and look of the cyborgs in general are good, expect nothing less from Cameron. Only sometimes she looks a bit weird when she grins. -The scrapyard could have looked a bit more fucked up but it was well done. Actually looked like the Scrapyard and not some generic cyberpunk city like the live action GITS Zalem looked great, they even had the wirrring sound the pipes going to the city made it the manga/ova
-fight scenes were well done. I was afriand that like most western produced action movies it would be a mess of jump cuts but it was fast paced and well done
-Panzer Kunst was well represented
-Story wise it was pretty much 50/50 split between the OVA and the first vol of the manga with Motorball thrown in.Some lines were actually taken verbatim from the manga, as well as the bar fight scene. I'd actually recommend it over the OVA desu.
-The pacing could have been a bit better story wise, and i realy feel like Yugo was the weakest link. They made him a bit more sympathetic than he was in the manga and he looks like he belongs in a fucking boy band.
-Zapan was PERFECT -I liked Michelle Rodriguez as Gelda, wish there were more flashbacks of her training Alita in Panzer Kunst. -Edward Norton actually looks not bad as Desty Nova but goddamnit he should have been eating Flan!
-Obviously they're setting up for a sequel and all signs point to it being the Motoball arc, since motherfucking Jashugan shows up and is name dropped, and she goes back to playing motorball after Yugo dies. Really hope there is a sequel
All in all this will go in the trinity of anime Kino with Speed Racer an Edge of Tommorow
Hunter Cruz
Usually it is but if you watched Avatar when Cameron is involved it will be made for 3D rather than it being shoehorned in.
Anthony Moore
That's patently false
Samuel Phillips
Just got out of the theaters watching this with a friend. It was an alright adaptation but not enough to be praised as something extraordinary. The fight scenes and acting were good but the scenes with Hugo were by far the weakest part of the movie along with the pacing and part of the screenplay. At least it got me interested in reading the manga, so I guess that's a good thing. The only real live anime adaptation that I watched besides this was Speed Racer with one of my siblings, but watching it felt like a punishment and we changed it to something else because it was absolute crap.
Eli Thomas
You are retarded.
Caleb Reed
It's actually really good
music sucks though.
Julian Miller
Hugo fucking sucked, and the whole love angle happened way to fast granted even in the manga the romance was not a big deal so spending more time on it would have been a bore.
Hunter Barnes

If you’re a true otaku you need to watch this movie xD
Chase Sanchez
My dad said he liked the soundtrack and was going to buy it

Hudson Barnes
>You just described your average anime Yeah, i put up with it in anime, the magic of 2d makes it bearable. But in movie it's not acceptable.
The eyes actually really work in motion in the movie. Cameron knew what he was doing - it makes her design unique. Plus in the context of the story her fellow martians also have bigger eyes
Can this fucker stop goofing off and finish his damn game already? No wonder Konami ejected his ass.
Jonathan James
Hugo ruined the movie. Prove me wrong.
Blake Rogers

His character looking like something out of a Nick show ruined that subplot, but the actual cheesy and naive teen romance works
Christian Roberts
just got back, pretty good i'm sure wayyyyy better than captain marvel
Nathaniel Powell
not him, pretty fun until the final boss
Isaiah Sanchez
I liked it.
Ethan Young
in a way it kind of pisses me off that alita turned out better than GITS... i had read the first book of alita in a store back in the days and thought it was too clunky, too much like a fantasy story rather than getting close to hard sci fi like GITS and being poor i decided to pass on it.
and yea Alita is a nice little movie, better than wahtever else was done in hollywood. like alita herself that movie is a lean, clean, fast paced machine.
Lincoln Cruz
>Fakku and literal astroturfing is allowed on Yea Forums >seiyuu and ecchi manga aren't This board has really gone to the dogs

what's with the shilling for this movie? it isn't even that good
Jaxson Lewis
James Cameron made anime real.
Hudson Reed
It's decent without being basically a complete rewrite which is considerably higher than you can say for the standard of western anime adaptations.
Andrew Kelly
80% of this board today is /pol/, Yea Forums, Yea Forums and Yea Forums Only about 20% of it is Yea Forums
Ayden Rodriguez
it dragged the movie down, I just couldn't give a shit about him
Luke Collins
>complain about the eyes when the trailer first released >notice how weird whatshisface looks like at the ends of the movie with his human head and cyborg CGI body It's a stylistic choice that I understand now, it's like if Gollum was a waifu. The face is very emotive and the character seems believable in the world it inhabits. 7/10, honestly for me it's an 8.5 because a lot of the things I liked in this movie are things that I hated in ScarJo GitS
Have you been living under a rock? Literally everyone is saying that.
Jason Rodriguez
>guys her eyes are retarded because they're meant to be nice one dude, really got us there
Nicholas Robinson
>mildly enjoyed the movie >all these ironic shillposters and unironic shillposters making any discussion of the movie impossible Well this is just fucking swell
There shouldn't be any discussion of this movie. It's a fucking travesty to the original work. It's basically DBZ Evolution except for Alita.

>An Americanized "based on" movie turns out to be an Americanized "based on" movie Stop the fucking presses Were you expecting a 3.5 hour adaptation that would still require 4 sequels to fit the remaining plot?
It is already ~3PM in Japan. Not sure where that user is getting his info though.
Zachary Reed
It is fine and has parts that are fun.
Parker Jones
No because it's based on a book.
William Allen
I want there to be a sequel and to see more Nova in it.
Henry Gutierrez
Then you'll have to make the movie profitable. It's currently missing about 400 million from breaking even though so...
Jackson Nguyen
>missing about 400 million from breaking even Where the fuck do you get these numbers?
Cameron Evans
so that's why weebs keep sperging about frogs kek
Cooper Roberts
It has china and japan this weekend. Those could do it
just google articles about it at the box office, with its budget people put the break even point around 350mil and profitable around 500
Jace Kelly
>It's currently missing about 400 million why that much? isn't the budget like 120 million?
Elijah Wilson
Production budget = 170 Rule thumb says marketing is double the production budget Theaters take half the money Taxes take another fifth
Caleb Phillips
Do you know what a "budget" is?
Do you think every dollar from the movie theaters go to the movie?
Carter Watson
Its not entirely inaccurate, just not confirmed. production budget was 170 million. marketing usually slaps another 100% on top of that, getting us into the 3-400~ figure current box office numbers are around 150M. It'll probably break even, profitable is another question though.
But its a Cameron passion project, and he usually gets to make what he wants.
China is pretty nuts about this movies. They will bring in A LOT if dosh. t. currently live in China due to work.
Matthew Scott
aren't there a few mega movies dominating their box office from the lunar new year weekend still?
Alexander Roberts
The only really big one is Wandering earth, and it's been running for several weeks now. Everyone has seen it already.
Carson Allen
I thought it was a solid 6 or 7/10 overall with the cgi being 10/10, but I went to see it 3 times (not like that will matter at all) just because I want more good quality adaptations in the future
>all those empty seats OHONNONONNONO Not even NOT EVEN CHINA WILL OHONONNONNO

Allowing live action on Yea Forums was a mistake.

I hope you're not referring to the first three rows, because not even chinks are retarded enough to sit so close to the screen in a fucking IMAX. Besides that, almost everything is taken.

It actually was. You can't make shill threads if the LA gets shut down immediately. Janitors should clean this shit up immediately.
