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.
