"Critics" these days are just pre-paid reviews based on the social politics of the film. They're untrustworthy and thus are completely worthless. After all; what good is a review that you can't trust?
Cameron and Rodriguez have several sequels planned for Alita, and essentially the entire cast are ready and willing. The hold-up is Disney. Alita was released under Fox, which has now been bought by Disney, and the fear is that any sequels will be lost in the Disneyfication of everything. If you want a sequel, I suggest you use social media and tell them. Get their attention.
Any potential sequel could already be ruined due too Disney's involvement. We've already seen how they treat female characters Cptn Marvel, Rey, Mulan etc. At this point I'd rather no sequel than Disney ruining something I enjoy.
Yeah, keep the memory of the good film. Better save your favourite films on blue ray etc, i fear dark times coming regarding „Disneyfication“ of the Industry
@@the6ig6adwolf what? Mulan was good, Rey was awful from 2nd movie on as J.J. set it up well but Kennedy and director for 2 destroyed that, Cpt Marvel was good but needed better actress cause she was bad.
yeah that kinda scares me, this movie was so good but I feel like Disney will try to make her a feminist "icon" and will lose the magic of the character
3D usually make me sick but I had a feeling I had to watch this one in 3D and oh boy was I right, it's done masterfully and I'm so happy I could convince my friend to watch it in theaters. A second one might come out, all isn't lost. :)
The critics these days are just hyper leftists elitist assholes. If critics rate it above 90% on rotten tomatoes, it's usually garbage. But if it's between 65-80%, then it's usually good. I don't put any stock in the audience reviews, bc they're all over the place
Alita: "They don't let anybody up there." Hugo: "That's what they want you to think. You just gotta know the right people." Hugo, you poor, deluded fool...
Critics talk crap a lot of the time, they think trashing a movie makes them intellectual.....I have enjoyed many movies that did not get critical acclaim!
@@Jen-Yueh_Hu Disney makes GREAT movies. After all we have Pixar and dream works. But the critics are the ones we should be targeting. We want great movies. Not movies that are only great to critics
@@deatheternal720 Yeah, but the critics do it in a professional manner. They get paid to not tell us their own opinion but evaluate a film based on their professional understanding of the industry. Stuff like that, and if a critic bashes a film heavily it can influence the success of the work to a degree. Still, most critics are worthless idiots. I say that because in the last time they bash every movie that doesn't fit a certain spectrum. They are not doing their job correctly. (For example, they rated the Batwoman serial as a success but the new Joker movie as a failure. See the problem?)
Definitely one of the better sci fi movies in the last while. And this coming from someone who saw Star Wars when it first came to theatres in the 70’s
Because… Martians. Martians are weird like that, as Germans are wont to. But that before we get to the swishy-wristed genetic-engineering French Venusians or imperialistic, failure-prone robot-bodied Russian Jovians. ;)
One of the greatest movies I have and will ever see (still in my top 5) and not just because I love all the Sci-Fi stuff and am an Ecologist. But because it's literally pure genius! This movie will always have a place in my heart. I hope a 2nd is coming one day.
I didn't see this movie and I'm learning about it now. There seems to be a deliberate attempt of the critics and media to push works that are based on ideological propaganda and bash the ones with an actual positive meaning
aside from the fact the love scenes felt so drawn out and played the overall idea of the movie was pretty dope and i personally would not mind watching a sequel. Graphics and city scenes were pretty amazing as well.
I like how they set it up. It looks like Alita just got the drop(-kick) on the first guy, then she goes up against the Razorgirl and proves she actually is a trained fighter.
@@rogeliosoto6953 there was a number of reasons why it has massive acclaim but lots of people didn't see it when it was in cinemas. There was conflicting blockbuster films at the same time and the advertisement wasn't all there - however like almost all cult-following generating films- they are massively highly reviewed by those who have had the pleasure of seeing it as an under-acknowledged gem, to the wider audience that just take critics opinion or box office initial ratings as their take on a film. Your point 'and it flopped just like cyberpunk did' is a totally irrelevant comparison, and also analysis of this movie. That perspective is extremely close-minded when it comes to actually valuing a film, dude. Go watch it.
Got this on blu-ray. I'm really hoping they make a collectors edition and/or sequel. This movie just didn't get the praise it should've. Best anime adaptation.
As anime live action movies go, this quickly became my favorite! It was absolutely beautiful, and I wish it had done better in the box office because I want a sequel!!!
If you liked this clip, please read the manga. Both series. There's even an ongoing third one, which is also pretty awesome. And despite the critics, the whole film is just as lovely and fabulous as this clip. Yeah... sequel. That would be very nice.
Mars Chronicle has lot less action than the first two, especially Last Order. But then, Last Order was wa-a-ay too action-oriented, so it' just about right.
Franky Broadcast Lower gravity and less light on Mars would lead to larger eyes. Assuming people lived on Mars for extended periods of time, she would be a robot they made to look like them.
This was such a great movie. Saw it many times and got to see it again when theaters opened around here back several months ago. Great on the big screen. Not as great on the small one but the story was phenomenally told
Alita is the most strong independent woman lady sweetheart warrior dream chaser pioneer of all time. She deserves a sequel, a trilogy, even her own IP. Those who read the manga know what I am talking about.
"Don’t see Captain Marvel, they shriek, support a Strong Female Character in a movie that doesn’t hate white men! This point proves all the more entertaining for those of us who actually saw Alita: Battle Angel because all of the men in that film are kind of ridiculous and stupid or just generally useless. There’s Christoph Waltz, who has never looked more bored, playing the sweet but ineffectual father figure; Mahershala Ali, the charismatic villain who has no real power of his own and sends stupid teenage boys to do all his dirty work; the Ed Skrein cyborg who is pathetically vain and gets his arse handed to him by an adolescent girl; and there’s possibly the most hopeless and mediocre male love interest committed to camera. The female characters, the few of them that there are, don’t fare much better thanks to a cliched script and adherence to very well-worn tropes, but it’s hardly a film that positions guys as the undisputed heroes. But the men of Alita: Battle Angel aren’t why these guys are suddenly so desperate to elevate this film to new heights. Their interest lies with Alita herself, a cyborg with incomprehensibly mighty powers who also hopelessly naïve. She’s kickass but still needs a boy to teach her all about life. The Born Sexy Yesterday trope is all over the film, although it is remarkably less fetishistic than this narrative could have been. Still, there is a scene where she heals herself and suddenly grows bigger boobs, and boy does the camera want you to know that happened. Alita: Battle Angel is nowhere near the worst example of these lazy sexist tropes. However, it is emblematic of just how common this sort of storytelling is throughout Hollywood. Even in a vastly ambitious technological marvel like this, the screenwriters can’t help but fall back on the old ways because they’re easy to implement, garner an instinctive reaction from audiences, and propel the story forward enough for the real focus of our attentions - the effects - to be placed centre stage. It’s the sort of narrative that thinks any woman who can punch a guy harder than he can punch her is empowerment, even as she literally offers her heart to a man who has been stabbing her in the back for months. It’s familiar to anyone who’s ever seen a movie, and the power dynamic is clear. She may be powerful but she’s never seen the ‘real world’ before. The first guy she bumps into who isn’t her dad can show it to her and leave her enraptured." www.pajiba.com/film_reviews/why-are-sexist-creeps-pitting-captain-marvel-against-alita-battle-angel.php
Honestly, it was a really fun movie that I dont think anybody saw coming. That ending teasing an absolutely bonkers sequel better not end up being an unresolved cliffhanger haha I know James is living in Pandora right now but he can hire another director again!
Oh, AOV had me balling when I was a child! He was so obsessed that even after being reconstructed he tried getting up there...Only to get cut down. 😭😭😭😭
“Grewischka does not forget” Yeah I bet. She squashed two of his minions like ants and snapped his arm like a toothpick and threw him back into the hole.
The animation is so good in this movie. Things look like they have actual weight, and because of it the fights look much more brutal. When they punch something you can see the weight behind it and how much it would hurt. >
I can never get over the villain logic in movies though. 07:19 I have somebody who is clearly important to you in my hands that can crush him, I could use him as my hostage to get away, considering I've just seen how your strength is far greater then it seems, I need to get away, bide my time and find a way to get my revenge on you with greater power... But screw all that, let me just throw the guy in your general direction so he is out my range to kill or use as a hostage, and then fight you despite having seen your physical and agile capabilities are far beyond my own.
@@MinekEzQM In original manga Alita fights Makaku long AFTER she leaves Ido. In fact, her Scrapyard time is just a collection of unrelated vignettes that were tied into a single story for the movie. For example, her rivalry with Zapan was shown as three almost unrelated episodes, with Hugo not featuring in any of them. And she gets her Damascus Blade only after entering Motorball circuit, not as Hunter-Warrior.
The doctor seems to be oddly similar to a Hunter in Bloodborne, the man even has a trick weapon, proper attire and his title contains hunter aswell. Makes me wanna play Bloodbourne all over again.
@@kaiyihuang4045 Oh I did not know this was adapted from a manga thats actually really cool to know! Its actually quite possible from what you are saying, since Miyazaki did take inspiration from Berserk when making Dark Souls, It would be pretty sick if he did that here aswell.
@@CardsNSleevesTCG This is literally Battle Angel Alita (JP Name GUNNM), and though there are changes, it is essentially following the plotline. It's just missing all the rants about flan.
Never even HEARD of this film before stumbling over this scene in my RU-vid feed! They must have had some money to have Christoph Waltz in it! Not really my kind of thing, but an interesting watch for a RU-vid clip.
I had a feeling this movie was gonna be good, I watch anime, but not in the time of alita. I watched ghost in the shell, I didn't think it was bad, I watch a lot of anime to. So I watched alita and had high hopes, it didn't disappoint. I thought it was really good. Shame people dodged it, it was a good movie.
