Alita: Battle Angel (2019) Review 8/10
We have rated Alita: Battle Angel 8 out of 10, because it is one of the strongest live-action manga adaptations Hollywood has produced in years. Rosa Salazar gives Alita real emotional warmth beneath the CGI-heavy visuals, helping the character feel human despite the futuristic setting. The world-building is excellent, with Iron City feeling busy, dangerous and full of hidden stories. The action sequences are slick and energetic, especially during the Motorball scenes, while the emotional core gives the movie more heart than many expected. It deserved more attention on release and has since built a passionate cult following among sci-fi and manga fans.
