Twitter Hates James Cameron's Alita: Battle Angel Movie Trailer

@Texus009: NO, i watch anime cus it's anime, i watch a live action film cus it's a live action film......

I play a videogame cus it's a game, i watch movies etc cus it's a movie etc......I don't necessarily wanna mix the 2.....

that said i've seen a couple decent game adaptations, Mortal, Kombat, Tomb Raider 1, Resident Evil 1 & the 2 Silent Hill movies, I even kinda liked Wing Commander [cus i didn't play the games that much]

i've yet to see a decent anime adaptation.....when the best I've seen is Gundam G Savior and that just looks like amateur hour and it's not as grand as Gundam usually is....take Char's Counterattack, it was more grand in scope than G Savior so yeah.....i have a overt negative opinion on things....

i've seen more games based on movies succeed than i have the other way around....

The Warriors, Star Wars SOTE, Dark Forces [Jedi Knight, Jedi Knight 2, Jedi Academy], KOTOR, KOTOR2, Battlefront 2 [2005], rogue Squadron, Ep1 Pod racer....

then you have inspired by movies....

Fallout [a boy and his dog, mad max, omega man/i am legend and others, definitely some lovecraftian themes in Bethesda's F3 & F4]

Elder Scrolls [Conan and LOTR....i mean based on conan comics and LOTR books]

Mass Effect [Star Trek, BSG, Babylon 5]

and that's just a few.....

but i stand by what i said, I'm attracted to Anime cus I enjoy animation and that specific type of animation as well as most types, and I watch movies and TV etc cus I enjoy those things too.....i do not go into a movie, TV or whatever hoping it's like some anime....

maybe if they made a movie based on an anime like say Samurai Champloo or Ghost in The Shell or something that was more of a continuation of the story....so GITS set after SAC series and Samurai set after the events of the series would be more interesting than trying to adapt the actual GITS movie and show and SC series......

you'd have to recap the story a little but if the movie was good it could stand on it's own but Hollywood is too stubborn to do anything really good.....eww you can't have an Asian as the lead, can't do an all Asian cast...why?? we get movies where it's all black or all Mexican and nobody says anything yet we can't have a properly done movie based on some anime that respects the source??? i say frack that.....

let's not forget, the 90's and early 2000's were an era of film where we saw many many kung fu movies succeed all of which starred Asian actors......you can do these things justice, it's just Hollywood refuses to do it.....

House Of Daggers, Unleashed, Hero, Kung Fu Hustle, Beat Takeshi's Zatoichi, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and many many more....honorable mention, Kung Pow...

@gamingdevil800: my point is quit trying to turn anime into film, if i wanted an anime I'd watch it and I am a fan of anime.....

GITS was another, the reason I skipped that was it's a live action adaptation of my fave anime not to mention Major was American in the movie, gee couldn't even get the girl from Pacific Rim?? I've also seen the trailers and really looked at the action, it just came off as a recreation of all the best scenes so i was like frack the political side, I'm not interested cus it's redundant

i've seen enough live action based on anime movies that I'm like frack this, KITE sucked and they shied away from a few scenes and aspects of the anime, I saw a little of that Death note also not all that interesting, I saw Mobile Suit Gundam G Savior [a live action film] not nearly as grand, barely see any Gundam action and what little you see is CGI and out of focus or otherwise obscured and the acting was bad......

Gundam like Star Trek is best as a long series show, where the story develops slowly, not as a all in one shot movie with no payoff.....

just like game adaptations i;m not interested.......

@Zignoff: Well that's the thing, the trick into liking these movies is to have never seen the source. Books and comics/manga are always better because they are a much better way to engage the story, drama and character development. So yeah, it may have failed to capture the manga's quality, but as far as the trailer shows, it still has good quality.
