Review of Alita: Battle Angel (2019) by Mecheng03 — 09 Mar 2019

We went to watch this instead of CPT Marvel on its opening weekend. My wife and I weren't really expecting much of this movie but this was a really entertaining. It was so great to have exposition that wasn't forced down your throat or the characters telling you every plot/twist/turn. Also, we didn't know anything about the books and found it was very easy to follow the plot. The only reason its not a ten is the sappy teen drama was an eye roller a few times but honestly bearable to the BS most movies push at you. Very good character development and despite being CGI you actually walk away caring about the main character. So glad we watched this instead of Mayor McCheese Larson and her blank emotionless character that has no flaws/character development. Hope they make another movie!

EDIT: Watched it a second time and the teen drama aspect didn't bother me at all. I watched with hour long cartoon and they kept it pretty true to the source material. I'll get it when released on disc/digital and if they make a sequel I'll for sure see it.
