alobearI'm not sure I have a lot to say about Alita: Battle Angel...
It was mostly fine, with a lot of great action but also a lot of gratuitous dismemberment.
I did feel invested in Alita's story, even if the plotting was a bit clunky at times and the romance aspect made me want to throw things.
But the bad guy was barely in it, and we were given no indication of his motivations. And the film ended before there was any kind of showdown. A cliffhanger in a pretty obscure manga adaptation seems a bit odd.
It was all very pretty but very violent. And I could probably say a lot about a kick-ass but very innocent female protagonist being manipulated by the men in her life. But I'm not sure I can be bothered.
