Critics Consensus

Alita: Battle Angel's story struggles to keep up with its special effects, but fans of futuristic sci-fi action may still find themselves more than sufficiently entertained.

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

It's sort of overlong and overstuffed, but Rosa Salazar is quite good.

As spectacle, the film is aces. It welds Rodriguez's eccentric touch with action and special effects to Cameron's mastery of world-building.

Our leading character Alita goes through a lot of development throughout this story, and it is engaging to watch.

Alita: Battle Angel is one of those movies that you HAVE TO watch at a movie theater (...) it's a visual experience, so do waste your time and money in supporting this film. Alita alone deserves that effort.

Rated: B+

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

I really enjoyed watching Alita Battle Angel. This is by far one of the better American live-action adaptations that’s been done.

Pathetic b

It is a wonderful love story. They did it justice. Christoph Waltz is out of his element. Truly. Maybe his agent told him it would be good for him. He sticks out like a sore thumb. Oh well. Mahershala Ali is amazing. Rosa Salazar give the correct kind of depth and her performance makes Alita palpable. Highest score. Both are great. Keean Johnson works hard. His not as immature/airheaded as his japanes counterpart from the original(which is good) but he is sadly a little too one dimensional for me. Poster boy. This was likely not intended. He executes the last part of his story very, very well though. There will not be a second part, which is ok. After the inital "iron city" narrative, Alita's story becomes pretty awful and the last chapters of this story are so...let's just say: COMPLETEL INSANE.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Mr B

Drivel. Terrible "acting" by a cast who appear as lost as the "director", a plot thinner than the highest quality porcelain and such a profoundly low opinion of its audience that every, single, stupid aspect is blatantly spoken aloud, just so really can't miss it. The only thing of substance in this film is the special effects, without which this film would just be a shell of poor acting and derisive plot points. I shouldn't bother if I were you, watching this until the end made me lose 17 I.Q. points.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars
