This review of for fans of the manga and the ova anime from the 1990s. If you love Alita, you will love this movie. This is a labor of love. The love of James Cameron and Robert Rodriguez for their subject matter--the cyborg warrior, Alita--shines through from start to finish. And Dr. Ido is peeeerfect.
What will people who are not huge fans of the manga think? Don't care. Sucks to be them. This is a great sci-fi manga. And a great film adaptation of a sci-fi manga.
I do predict that girls and young women will love this movie, and we will soon be seeing girls in Alita full metal armor body suits. Remember how the critics missed the huge effect that Suicide Squad had on girls and their love for Harley Quinn? Alita is very much the same breed of hero. She is touch as nails (literally) and all about the love.
