Hollywood ruining my chinese drawings again.

English is not my native language so I apologize for the errors that are bound to exist.

Excuse my way of expressing. Is not pretty.

What is this crap?
What were they thinking?
Why do so much people like it? I can’t understand it.

The movie is bad. Alita is done kinda competent, and just for that is not horrible.
And I’m feeling nice.

They decided to adapt almost everything instead of just the first volume. That’s why they touch so many stuff and they never develop anything. And that’s why nothing actually matters, because there’s no worldbulding.
How I am supposed to care about anything, if nothing gets properly treated?
I don’t care about the characters. You know why? Because they transform all of them into clichés and they didn’t develop them.

I wasn’t going to say shit about it as an adaptation of one of the greatest mangas ever. I never really care much about that; the most important thing is to be good by itself. That changed when I saw people saying it was a good adaptation. Is not. Fuck, is not.

Apparently being a good adaptation is to replicate a couple of scenes from the manga or anime. I doesn’t matter that it is badly done, I doesn’t matter that they are action scenes and mostly superficial and without real weight. They look similar, that´s enough.

They destroyed the complicated characterization of the characters and they reduced the story into their most based and popcorn elements. How is that good adaptation? They spit into the manga eyes, and then they brutally raped it.

Gunnm is more that an action cyberpunk manga.

By itself is a bad film too. Is moves to fast, doesn’t go deeper into the ideas, and that’s why there’s no reason to care. You may care just because, but there’s no reason to.

Characters are cliché, uninspired, basic and boring. They’re shit. Just shit.
Is almost like the didn’t put any effort in to them.

It has the same problem as the manga, in there it was pretty thin, it had a deeper meaning, here is far, far worst. Gally is a cyborg, so she can reconstruct herself and be better, and that’s why there’s no tension. Nothing can actually happen to her.
Alita beats the shit out of everybody with easy, unlike the manga.

They are a lot of stupid thing in the film as well.

Romance, as usual, is crap. Alita is not an excuse. In the manga she falls in love easily too, but at least she gets to know the fuckers. Fuckers who were human and complex. The guy in this movie is garbage who doesn’t even has a real reason to go to the floating city.
Life down there seems to be okay, unlike the manga, in there, life in the earth was shit. Going up was obviously a good idea.
Here it feels empty.

They barely even spent time together. But they really, really love each other. Bullshit.

Guns are banned, apparently they are too dangerous. Weird, I thought having a metal powerful body was more fuck up.

Well. The film is bad. Is predictable, because it follows the type of storytelling that sells, just like Transformers movies and shit like that. Is generic, empty and all the words I use to describe bad anime.

Looks good? Yeah. But I’m not impressed.
Is it fun? Maybe. I got really bored. And annoyed.

4/10.
Just because of Alita. She’s not Gally, tho. That woman is amazing.

Alaoz!

PD. Does she eats in the manga? Can’t remember. Her body is metal. It makes no sense.
