Alita: Battle Angel 2019

So, I haven't read the manga or seen the original anime, so I can't compare as far as accuracy goes. As far as just a movie, it was pretty good. The main thing it had going for it was the action. There was plenty of action and it was good. The romance wasn't wholly believable and the ending wasn't as good as I was hoping for, but they seemed to be setting it up for a sequel rather than going for a satisfying ending. I was surprised that for a Japanese anime, none of the cast was asian. They do explain that people from all over the world migrated there so its at least explainable, but most of the main cast is still white. And I don't say this to be political or nitpicky, but it does lack some of the accuracy and authenticity of other manga adaptations that I have seen.
