    Alita: Battle Angel.

    The film looks stupid because they gave the main character giant anime eyes.

    In the context of the film it makes sense and I think the look is meant to mirror the anime it is from… but for the film it still makes the film look stupid. Now the film itself is far from perfect, there is at least one storyline that is utter dogshit. However! The film ultimately was solid.

    Sadly it ends setting up future films that will never happen, but I think it’s still enjoyable overall.

      Love the universe but the whole anime eyes thing was just way too silly. They should’ve pulled a Sonic and made her look more normal.

        Oh I completely agree. The anime eyes did not add to the film. It also sucks because the actress who played Alita, Rose Salazar, did a great job, but it’s such an uncanny valley type look that I didn’t recognize her anywhere else.

        It’s one thing when it’s Andy Serkis playing Gollum or something but she was just playing a robot girl, but she looks like a throwaway CGI character.

          Also she was the only one with the eyes! That’s the most inexplicable thing. Maybe if other people had the eyes it’d be ok, maybe there a thing people do. But she’s the only one so it’s extra weird.
