This is probably one of the best anime live-action film adaptations of all fricking time and nothing can't even come close.

Never seen it.
then fricking DO IT!
Damn QTPi
What movie?
chips (2017)
I like that part at the beginning when she wakes up and rubs hers eyes.
CUTE AND HART WARMING!
I just wanna SMUSH HER CHEEKS!!!!
It was pretty cool but felt in some ways like it need a sequel.
>but felt in some ways like it need a sequel.
It's coming.

I knew he would never abandon his CyberWaifu
how can one man be so based.
Of course!
At the end when she points her sword at the most powerful person.
That will not go unanswered.
/ourgirl/ is gonna do what she was built for.
how big is her penis?
Please stop.
In the berserker body? As big as she wants it to be. She actually increases the size of her breasts.
I liked it overall but it did have some goofy moments:
-the part where Alita uses the dead dog's blood as face paint
-Hugo getting stabbed
>Alita uses the dead dog's blood as face paint
pretty sure it's in the original manga and for everybody else non-smartass, the highlight of the movie as nowadays
EVERYBODY LOOSES HIS SHIT WHEN A FRICKING DOG DIES
why is that? was it the massive sequel baiting with the mad scientist at the end?
>bug eyed cg freak
nah
Stop.
I knew this movie would not be shit because Cinemaphile said it would be shit because girl being a hero/anime but not not Manga something/new/...
Even though it was "robot" parts being torn from some people,the dismemberment parts where uneasy to watch.
>Alita Battle Angel
>Speed Racer
Is there something that can complete the trifecta?
I hear City Hunter is good but I haven't seen it.
It's more an adaptation of the French dub of City Hunter (Called Nicky Larson), which makes it more goofy and a little less dark than the original. But it's true to the show in that way.
Cruise delivering the goods like always
Ping Pong (2002)
The three main fights (battle with the 3 cyborgs, Alita vs. Grewishka Round 2, and the motorball sequence) were really cool.
>This is probably one of the best anime live-action film adaptations of all fricking time and nothing can't even come close.
There is already something superior.
That’s never been an anime though.
95 percent of all anime ever was adapted from manga so I think it's perfectly fair to consider them the same thing
moron
I like her slowmoing through spinning metal arms
I groaned on that matrix tier scene, until she actually failed and got chopped.
10/10 expectation subverted.
her love interest was the worst thing about the movie ngl
>you will never have a qt cyborg gf
I tried watching this but got filtered 5 minutes in because of diversity hires. Should I give it a chance? How is it good and not normie Hollywood slop
It's good.
>How is it good and not normie Hollywood slop
It's an above average modern sci-fi/action flick. I liked the setting and the fights.
>diversity hires
The diversity is explained in the movie. It's basically the only piece of civilization left on Earth. This is actually in line with the Gunnm universe. The Scrapyard is literally built on the remains of St. Louis, Missouri.
Why did he want to launch rockets?
To spread humanity trough space so they wouldn't (nearly) go extinct again. The Battle Angel Alita universe is pretty crazy and the movie barely scratched the surface.
In the movie the scrapyard is in some south american shit hole because lol beaner director. Yet they kept the name kansas for the bar.
It doesn't even look like the scrapyard it's just mexico city with an occasional robot arm or leg.
>you can only name a bar "Kansas" if the bar is in Kansas
What
No the scrapyard is in some South American shithole because space elevators are only possible on the equator, in the manga it's revealed that an asteroid impact knocked the Earth off its axis but even Kishiro couldn't find a way to explain that in an organic way without resorting to an infodump across multiple pages
So in other words the moronic reason they gave for moving the scrapyard to a beaner shit-hole doesn't even make sense because they haven't read the manga
Well duh, the movie is based on the OVA, not the manga. You should've figured this out from Jennifer Connelly's character existing (who also creates a huge plothole because we see Vector harvesting her brains despite her being from Zalem)
you can't really say it's based on the ova either since desty nova, motorball, the ornate body etc aren't in the ova. The whole thing is a shit show and I hope it doesn't get a sequel.
it's not a plot hole if the brain chips aren't going to be in the movies
But that's kind of a big deal, isn't it?
>So in other words...
Well you're right in that those are different words
Zalem is attached to a space elevator. They decided that one apocalyptic event preceding the story was enough so the setting was moved to South America because literally nothing about the plot requires that it takes place in North America aside from Nova's lair being in Cheyenne Mountain
>Many references and north american locations in the source material
>zero references or locations from south america in the source material
>SO lets move the setting of the film to south america
What?
You are so mad about something nobody, including the original author, give a shit about. The movie has real problems with it but being set in South-America is not one of them.
You're awfully defensive of beaner hacks making moronic changes to the setting for literally no good reason.
Are you a 3rd worlder or something?
>diversity hires.
You gays complain about reddit yet you echo all the time.
You try to one up each other with buzz words.
You are incapable of forming an opinion of your own.
It's not good at all, it is pretty mediocre.
that's what your mum said
not bad but rodrieguiz can't direct action for shit these days. don't fricking understand it, it's like everything slows the frick and stops and everyone just stands around. the completely cgi scenes were the only ones worth watching.
Cast him
Your mom!
jk,bro.
You mom is an angel,not the battle type but the variety that make the world a better place.
Also;she said it's getting close to bed time and even though you are your own person just keep that in mind.
>Let's finish this... with a clang!
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
Not even top 5.
1. Edge of Tomorrow
2. Gintama
3. Samurai X
4. Speed Racer
5. Alice in Borderland
Dang I had my own opinions but yet again Cinemaphileproved me wrong.
Damn, don't see this one get mentioned alot, or at all. I'm not going to sit and pretend that it's better than some other adaptations but I used to have this on rewatch. You would think Toku would have more attempts made on it, though. As I know it, only four have been made so far including Polymer (haven't seen it), Gatchaman (terrible), and Yatterman (entertaining with friends but Miike clearly wanted to make a movie in where all the female leads wanted 1's dick.)
>only 5 minutes that actually feel like Casshern
Very true. Younger me didn't get it at the time but with hindsight making a point to have what would have been the OG helmet destroyed felt kinda mean-spirited.
>one of the best anime live-action film adaptations
Meaningless since the standard for that is non existant.
This was an extraordinarily bad movie.
None of the actors cared, that was clearly evident. The cgi main character was an uncanny valley abomination and even worse when put into a fast action sequence.
A general was kept alive by about a dozen trannies and their janny enablers for months on end, truly embarrassing times even for Cinemaphile.
Cinemaphile already knows motorball sequel is happening. And third one too.
Does it actually adapt the manga or just the stuff that the OVA covered?
It does a bit more than the OVA but it's not a 100% accurate adaptation of the manga.
they had to make it a generic teen drama to attract non fans, i have no hopes for the sequel
nothing will ever top this
>most expensive Japanese movie at the time
>bombed at the box office worse than Hiroshima
>CGI was used for the fight scenes because director Hiroyuki Nasu supposedly did not know how to direct one with live actors
>CGI looks like a really shitty PS2 cutscene
>horrendous make up where you can see the rubber spikes and shit squish and wobble around
>lead actors never acted before and their performance would be embarrassing even in an elementary school stageplay
>Sachiko Kobayashi was called to the set to appear in the movie without even knowing what movie it actually is
>Mark Musashi appears for three seconds, waggling a gun around
>random Bob Sapp
>topped annual worst movie poll, having five times as many votes as the second place
>Takeshi Kitano considers it as one of the dumbest movies he's ever watched and recommends watching it drunk
>people created an entire website that collected bad reviews for it, ending up somewhere in the hundreds
>became somewhat of a rating benchmark in Japan, calling things "the Devilman of ***"
>the release day was once considered to be an unofficial national day of mourning
>the director was told to get cancer and die - so he did a short while later
complete mess of a film, did this lose a shitload of money?
no it broke even at least, got a sequel in the works
lol no it doesn't
https://screenrant.com/alita-battle-angel-2-development-confirmed-james-cameron/
eat shit
is that a hyperlink? sequel comfirmed let's all dilate!
Speed Racer mogs
fricking esl thread go back you homosexuals frick off
sry but esls are the majority of the userbase
No it's dogshit.
It's marvelized bad version of the anime. And the anime already sucked and was a shit adaptation of the manga
and it's garbage
It was maybe the best WESTERN adaptation of a manga. A random Netflix search will show you better adaptations from Asian studios.
But it is the best Robert Rodriguez movie in the last quarter century. The iron glove of James Cameron as a producer prevented this movie from being the usual cholo-cringe-egowank from Rodriguez. That guy can make a decent movie on his own.
I saw Alita in IMAX. It was based. I wish it got a sequel.
Well you're in luck
>best anime live-action film adaptations of all fricking time
You mean all the other are WORSE?
It's an ok movie but it's a terrible adaption that completely missed the point of the source material
Snuggling with Alita!
This was such an unexpectedly great film. Any updates on the sequel? Is that happening? Can Jimbo put some of the Avatar money into it? More movies like this are very much needed..
>some of the Avatar money into it
think it barely broke even
turns out,
whitey's kinda fed up with being designated the evil oppressors of the universe
while we can barely fill up the gas-tank from our bulging slave-master wallets
he's selling one of his mega beaner compounds right now
>think it barely broke even
>turns out,
it just beat broke even thanks to NewZealand and TeXas film making tax credits, skin of its teeth however.
So glad camerons back to working on it
