Had Robert Rodriguez' name not been attached to Alita i probably wouldn't have had an interest. Even with his name on it i still wasn't too stoked, his last few films have been lackluster plus the trailer made it looks like it didn't have any of his touch. Upon seeing it, it does have his stamp, certain shots, his love of oddball weaponry & vehicles, the Twisted Metal/Roller Derby feels pure Rodriguez. The action scenes are fantastic, whether its the chases or especially the fights. Certain aspects feel like a futuristic Sin City, and honestly it makes up for that shit of a sequel. I adored this man as a teen but he hasn't made a film i've loved since 2007. Plus for a comic adaptation(i haven't read the manga) it could teach a few things to a few other comic flicks, you don't need a joke every 10 minutes. This was a fun flick that didn't overly rely on humor. Hopefully this is the return of Robert Rodriguez!
