[b]Good:[/b]
• Great fight/action scenes, and there are lots of them.
• Surprisingly violent considering it's rating.
• Despite the memes about Alita's eyes, the CG was pretty outstanding.
• The world feels fleshed out and deep. Great costume and set design.
• Characters on the whole were pretty likeable.
[b]Bad:[/b]
• Story was a bit cliché.
• Soundtrack was generic and forgettable. Huge missed potential considering the Cyberpunk setting.
• Forced teen romance subplot.
• A bit too whimsical for my tastes. I think it would've been interesting to have seen an R-Rated version of this film.
Overall, a pretty solid action-adventure romp that stays true to it's source material. It really feels like this was James Cameron's and Robert Rodriguez's passion project. Not a perfect film by any means but the good is good enough to make you overlook the bad.
If you're into anime or SciFi/Cyberpunk like me you'll probably enjoy this film.
I'd probably give it a 7/10.

I’ve kind of wanted to watch this and given your review I will not avoid it. The trailers do look great, but then again I’ve seen amazing trailers for terrible movies. I’ll try to watch it before I forget now.
