FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

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

Film Comment Magazine

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

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.

Rated: B+

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

I really enjoyed watching Alita Battle Angel. This is by far one of the better American live-action adaptations that’s been done.
