Alita: Battle Angel | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Peter Rainer FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) It's sort of overlong and overstuffed, but Rosa Salazar is quite good. Sep 18, 2019 Full Review Alita: Battle Angel | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Michael Sragow Film Comment Magazine As spectacle, the film is aces. It welds Rodriguez's eccentric touch with action and special effects to Cameron's mastery of world-building. Mar 21, 2019 Full Review Alita: Battle Angel | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Wenlei Ma News.com.au If only the story of Alita: Battle Angel had been as impressive as its technical achievements. Rated: 2.5/5 Mar 7, 2019 Full Review Alita: Battle Angel | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Calum Cooper Source (Scotland) As it is, it’s serviceable, but unremarkable, even among its cinematic brethren of live-action manga or futuristic dystopian works. Rated: 2/5 Jul 14, 2024 Full Review Alita: Battle Angel | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Amy Smith InSession Film Our leading character Alita goes through a lot of development throughout this story, and it is engaging to watch. Mar 1, 2024 Full Review Alita: Battle Angel | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Manuel São Bento MSB Reviews 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+ Jul 24, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Llia loved it. That is enough. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/03/23 Full Review Steven This movie was so much fun! Please let it get a sequel! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/22 Full Review Michael B 5 stars for the cgi which is the best I've seen Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/19/24 Full Review Philipp O I am a fan of cyberpunk sci-fi movies, but this one I couldn't stand longer than 15 minutes. Feels like cheesy, Disney crap. I also did NOT like the effects, I can't even understand all the positive feedback on the effects. Everything looks totally artificial, almost like in a cartoon. It gets almost funny when you see real actors together with Alita, as it looks like a mixture of reality and a cartoon. Dialogues: no comment. Story: Didn't want to go further, as mentioned. It seem to me like a childish bullshit movie, no deeper story, just dumb, almost if you give a 12-year old a multi-million dollar budget. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/16/24 Full Review Daniel G Definite girl power, very slick movie, but too many characters involved, a bit of overdo, not sure what happened to Mars and ultimately wasn't really emotionally impactful. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/28/24 Full Review Himalaya B Must watch! Absolute delight for sci-fi fans. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/24/24 Full Review Read all reviews
