Critics Consensus

Alita: Battle Angel's story struggles to keep up with its special effects, but fans of futuristic sci-fi action may still find themselves more than sufficiently entertained.

It's sort of overlong and overstuffed, but Rosa Salazar is quite good.

As spectacle, the film is aces. It welds Rodriguez's eccentric touch with action and special effects to Cameron's mastery of world-building.

If only the story of Alita: Battle Angel had been as impressive as its technical achievements.

As it is, it’s serviceable, but unremarkable, even among its cinematic brethren of live-action manga or futuristic dystopian works.

Our leading character Alita goes through a lot of development throughout this story, and it is engaging to watch.

Alita: Battle Angel is one of those movies that you HAVE TO watch at a movie theater (...) it's a visual experience, so do waste your time and money in supporting this film. Alita alone deserves that effort.

I was a fan of the IP long before the movie - I read the entire then-current run in the early Aughts, and waited anxiously while James Cameron played with his blue cats to get off his duff and make this movie he had been promising us. This isn't the film Cameron promised us - he's only the Producer on it - but it's still good. The theater wasn't packed, but I still had a big ol' smile on my face that it even existed. While the story is a bit unfocused, and the dialogue may not zing all the time (although in fairness, Alita coming off as clunky suits her, she's still an angsty teenager after all), the action, world and spectacle are all top-knotch. They even snuck in some elements from the anime episodes. Now, when do we get the sequel?
