I really liked Zapan (cyborg who carrys a sword) and Grewishka (the big cyborg brute) them 2 villains were great. My favourite parts were Alita, CGI, Action, Motorball as well of some of the characters. I went with my father and his partner who are both in their 60's and don't know what Manga and Anime is, but at the end of film they both really enjoyed it. You don't need to invest in the manga, to enjoy this film. However it's not perfect cos it has some little nitpicks, but nothing like what some of the movie critics are saying. The film is definitely left on a cliffhanger, I really hope this does well cos I was left wanting more.
Alita definitely stole the show and her big eyes we're not a distraction like in the first trailer.
