I hope it does well. I just don't have a good feeling.

Oh its doomed (relatively) it may find an audience on video but I don't see it worldwideI'm sorry, is it not doomed? Serious question, considering that I heard this movie is a huge bomb?

I am shocked they let him and Robert end it the way they did:(
Hopefully, hopefully Cameron see the value in a sequel because it seems like it's the only way it's going to be made :(
I haven't seen Alita yet, won't be able to until the weekend, but I owned the anime and it was a one-and-done OAV and probably covers less material than this movie. You'd have to read the manga.Yeah, i thought this was pretty cool. Really enjoyed it. The FX is seriously rad. Want to see it a second time in 3d, perhaps IMAX.
Wondering if I should watch the anime? Doubt there will be a sequel, so would like to know how the story concludes.

I always do the opposite, that way I don't get distracted by the stuff they have to cut to make a movie. And then after the movie you get more content =)Think I'm gonna dip into the manga before I see this on Sunday, just so I can appreciate any nods they make to the source material.
One of the dudes I went to see it with is a casual movie goer and fucking loved it lol.
He was pissed at the idea it might bomb and he not get any sequels.
Dialog is not Cameron's strong suit but he's rock solid in other areas. Avatar is better written than 99% of blockbusters
Anyone that has seen this, how bad is it for kids? Typical Marvel type action and violence or worse?
There's a scene reminiscent of the T1000 dealing with John Connor's dog in T2.Anyone that has seen this, how bad is it for kids? Typical Marvel type action and violence or worse?
The violence was more intense than I figured with the rating, maybe because the cyborgs bleed blue fluid and not red blood and they look robot-like. Also people get killed in almost every fight and there's stuff like severed heads and organ-harvesting murder cyborgs. You wouldn't see me in a theater with anyone under 12 for sure, but maybe kids these days desensitized...

I hope at some point in the not too distant future, Avatar will somehow follow the path of Titanic and become less hated, I can hardly find a worse case of injustice in this century in terms of perception of a movie.Couple of guys at work saw it yesterday (Dolby 3D) and they freaked over it, and they hate, hate Avatar.
As it was a low point for the source material as well, manga and anime alike, this doesn't come as much of a surprise.Also, I'm glad many people agree that the love interest shenanigans is a low point of this movie. Too bad it infests such a huge part of the movie, blergh.

Definitely would've been if they based him on the brain-slurping monstrosity Makaku from the manga both the movie and anime only partially derived him from anyway.Speaking of Grewishka, he wasn't terrifying at all and I was taking out because of that, maybe with an R-rating they could have made him more terrifying, but I didn't like him here.
Ah. Other than his blandness, I recall a lot of reviews complaining about his acting as well.I didn't really mind Hugo in the original manga, but there's just something about the way they portray him in this movie that annoy me so much. That Hugo is changed into a typical white-boy hunk is probably it, hahaha.
I think that was it, like I was expecting Makaku/Grewishka to be this imposing terrifying being that slurps brains as you said, but instead we got someone who wouldn't be out of place for even Motorball.Definitely would've been if they based him on the brain-slurping monstrosity Makaku from the manga both the movie and anime only partially derived him from anyway.
A little hyperbolic, don't you think?I hope at some point in the not too distant future, Avatar will somehow follow the path of Titanic and become less hated, I can hardly find a worse case of injustice in this century in terms of perception of a movie.
That was a pretty bad movie. Love interest dude was the worst. I actually liked Alita herself, but everyone else was pretty bad. Even Waltz turned in a pretty damn mediocre performance.
It felt like it was missing a core. Like, it was a lot of pieces and tiny threads that weren't really held together by anything. It just moved along scene to scene without much reason.
You mean it will be, right? Right?
Opened the link and there's a jab about Alita's eyes in the first thirty seconds. Skipped ahead to the end, and there's another eye jab in the last thirty seconds. Closed the link.

Did they at least enjoy it?

I got a notification saying preview showings were yesterday and it looks like there's showings tonight as well, bizarre.
Looks like my $4 T-Mobile promo actually brings a $18 IMAX 3D ticket down to $4, so I'll probably catch a Thursday night showing.
Shit I didn't look at the app yesterday and now I don't see anything. Does it expire after Tuesday?
