I liked it well enough. Not an amazing film but entertaining enough. I know I saw the anime adaptation of it when I was a teenager and I liked it as well.

It was certainly much better than it had any right to be. When I saw the trailers, I thought it looked fucking dumb. That said, it was much more fun than I expected even though the story couldn't figure out what it wanted to be.

Also if I remember right the kid she meets who ends up being saved by being given a cyborg body but then falls to his death was a much more sympathetic character in the anime. I remember his death seeming really sad, but in the movie both him being wounded and him falling to his death just seemed like things that happened without much emotional weight.

Probably because it all happens in a span of three minutes. Alita goes from busting her ass to save the life of this kid and then he immediately just fucks off and kills himself for no reason. There's absolutely no time for them to build any sort of dynamic after having saved his life.
