Alita: Battle Angel (2018)

I'm getting a little bit of a Ghost in the Shell vibe from this. Looks like it could be at least visually entertaining...

Some reviews coming in for this and they're mixed.

I liked the new Superbowl trailer, though. Looks like it could be fun and intriguing.

It wouldn't surprise me if the movie bombs

folks need to watch more comic book adaptations besides what the big two offer.

Yeah, me neither.

James Cameron's name attached might help, though.

I do wonder what the budget for this is... oh shit, I think it's high. $150-200 mil. Yeah, that's a lot. I suspect it will bomb domestically, but who knows, maybe China and Japan will save it.

There's 9 volumes for the Manga, Wonder how much they tried to cram into the one film.

I haven't seen Spy Kids. Who is it?

The highly Inappropriate one to have a "Crush On".

From that link of reviews I posted I got the impression that certain aspects might seem under-explored, so it sounds like they're saving things for sequels.

I think it looks like a good popcorn flick. And I'm also curious how she will do in the battleboards

Looks like this movie could run the danger of being to much of a MarySueBoTron if this fight scene is the standard for the whole movie.

i'm gonna root for the bad guy

From Robert Rodriguez. Looks like a good cast...

IMDB

Based on an anime apparently...

Cant wait to see this

This was far better than I was expecting. It's everything Mortal Engines should have been.

Needs a sequel to finish the story though.

I was going to see it tonight but went out with my dad instead 😂
Will definitely be seeing this Tuesday afternoon
Seems like a solid film

seeing on Friday, hope I don't want my $14 bucks back

Yeah, I have some faith in Robert Rodriguez.

I won't be able to get out and see it anytime soon, unfortunately. I want to, though. This is one I'd like to actually visit the big screen for.

well.. this is a turd... mahershala ali is wasted. although the visuals are nice and rosa salazar's mo cap work is excellent the script itself and overall story sucks. 3/10

The effects were decent...this is probably the closest we'll get to a live action Megaman/Rockman movie.

Well my hopes for this being Good just went up a few notches.
