Crazy, Huh?
prevnextman it is fuckin crazy that ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL exists. Plenty of speedbumps and issues, but it’s a super violent, super glossy, super entertaining live-action James Cameron-y version of the manga that’s faithful to the original in a bunch of surprising ways.
I kinda loved it.

They Did It
prevnextAlita: Battle Angel...
James Cameron, you did it. You crazy son of a bitch, you did it.
This movie is both accurate to the anime/manga AND was entertaining. I can't believe I lived to see the day.#Alita #AlitaBattleAngel #BattleAngelAlita

Sequel Please?
prevnextJust watch #Alita in RealD3D. WOW. It was so much better than I expected. I really hope they make a sequel. This is the live action anime adaptation we always wanted. And I am so happy I got to cosplay her.

To The Faithful
prevnexti dusted off my alita books and the movie really was as faithful as i thought it was. since the manga structures itself by multiple mini-stories, they picked out several and mashed them together into one narrative for the movie

Talk About It!
prevnextwhy is no one talking about Alita Battle Angel???? It was based off a manga, took a while to make, and she is beautifully designed. The acting is amazing, the plot kept me on edge 100% of the time, and I watched it twice. #AlitaBattleAngel pic.twitter.com/z4zUG7kQbA

Well Worth The Wait
prevnextIn 1998, a 14 year old Michael picked up his first comic that wasn't the by the Big Two.
2019, I finally got to see a live action adaptation of the first manga I ever read.
I've waited more than half my life for this movie, and it didn't disappoint.
Go watch Alita! ♥️ pic.twitter.com/oYpijGDelq

A New Era
prevAlita is fresh which is in steep contrast to past American adaptations of manga. This could be a major step forward. I know people are worried it might not do well financially. It might. Who knows? I hope Alita is successful to get more future adaptations. #AlitaBattleAngel pic.twitter.com/g1xba6Na5d
