Thanks for the shout out guys!! I cannot wait to see this movie been hyped for a while
I loved this movie, it was so fun. I really hope they make the sequel!
Great visuals, the lead is a great find, the dialogue is cheesy and bland, the movie is ultimately saved by the action. I didn’t have much of an expectation since I never knew of the source material. I am sure there’ll be a sequel, though I won’t care much.
I really enjoy the manga so far
The chemistry between these people is INSANE!!! Extremely entertaining.
Really great breakdown. I loved the movie and I’ve never read or seen Alita before. I’ve been noticing Emma’s watch for the last week or two and in this video I noticed that Ben and Drew BOTH DON’T WEAR WATCHES!!! I’m kinda shocked by this. For two guys in suits with pocket squares (who kill it, by the way), I can’t believe they don’t wear watches. I’d love to learn why 🙂
I haven’t watched this show in different long, but the quality of the banter here is SO GOOD. I stopped watching Collider and Campea because things felt different, mess informative, less joy.
But this is great. I have to catch you guys more often.
Great movie! now 2 find n read the books..
Enjoyed watching you being so excited as I am about this movie.
I loved Alita Battle Angel. This movie made this world seem so realistic and believable. And it was so heart warming and beautiful. I would definitely see a sequel if it could be made.
Did anyone else think Edward Norton’s character was James Cameron
So glad you guys liked this. It was starting to feel like the youtube critic elite were just sh*tting on this compared to how most smaller channels love it.
I adore this film.
Thesis statement: Alita stands to be a prototype for faithful anime adaptation in western film.
Much like the Dark Knight Trilogy (although nowhere near as commercially successful) did for comic book movies, the quality of the adaptation is telling to studios for their futures in adapting anime/manga properties.
Prognostication: we’re going to see this level of faithfulness committed to multiple critically/box office acclaimed anime properties in the next 5 years.

Wait… you guys like Gundam?
Holy….
I’m home.
I’ve brought 6 people to see this movie so far and I’ve seen it twice. Everybody spread how good this movie is!
So mad I couldn’t make this live. I saw the movie in Dolby 3D and it was awesome. Another great show guys!
Fun movie, Rodriguez delivers on action and visuals are amazing. I had a giant problem with the symptoms of franchise building. They were too concerned with making sure to tease a sequel then to nicely wrap a movie
I luv alita but for netflix how about sense 8 and mr sunshine. The kingdom is fun. Roma is artsy boring oscar bait for me.
I thought the movie was really fun! Also Gundam Seed is the best.
