Truthfully, I am not a big fan of Manga or even comics really. Never interested me when I was younger, however, the trailers got me a little curious months ago. Why not give it a shot right? anyways, worst case scenario is just wasting 2 hours of my time,not a big deal..but all i can say is.. GREAT movie decision to see it!! I've watched Alita Battle Angel several times already, and each time, I still enjoy. Yes, it is not a perfect movie, it does have its low points with dialogue especially with the romance part, but if you look past those short comings, it is a well made film.. I find Alita charismatic in a way.
I would highly recommend to see this film, preferably while it's out in theaters. A sequel would be amazing if they made enough. Not sure why the movie is not making as much money here in the United States, maybe the marketing of it was on a down low or maybe the movie itself is not as well known here..either way, i would give this movie a chance..
