My thoughts on Alita

What a bonkers film. Even though it has an abysmal central romance. Alita's action and visual effects are so out there that i can't help but love it. Salazar outshines 3 Oscar winners. Even more impressive when you consider that Mahershala Ali is in the cast. A similar film to Aquaman. I know i should probably hate it. Yet there is something wonderful about a film that decides what it is from the first minute and sticks to it. A wild 2 hours which i can't wait re-watch with my friends. I am down for more of Alita. Now if you excuse me; i have a manga to catch up on.

Yeah this 'I don't know why I love it' support for a film shortly after it's release is nothing but 'hype'.

I enjoyed the film, but it was absolutely no masterpiece. In fact it was LOW STAKES and all over the place as far as character motivations are concerned.

The prequel story looked SIGNIFICANTLY more interesting.
