Thanks OP, saved me a ticket. Is it worth a pirate?

Well, you weren't expecting a good Hollywood adaptation, right?

So now we definitely arent getting a Battle Angel Alita/Gunnm movie huh?

details, please. I really don't want to see this travesty
Caleb Clark
That'd be James Cameron if he ever finishes with the Avatar movies, and the way that guy works it'd probably be loyal to the source material.
Ayden Martin
Yeah this. How bad are we talking? Spoil away
Levi James
>The Major is the main character and she's gay as fuck.
Is this gay in the homosexual sense or gay in the casual derogatory sense?
Also, >The trailer lied, the "making of a cyborg" sequence and the iconic turning-invisible-as-she-jumps-off-a-building shot aren't in the movie.
What moron decided this was a good idea.
Robert Sanchez
Were the props and special effects decent?
They released a few videos from the sfx team to shill the movie and they seemed to at least pretend they cared about the effects.
Isaac Ramirez
Honestly doesn't surprise me at all.
I knew that there weren't gonna be any philosophical shit, but still wtf.
It probably still do well depending on what other movies are being released on the same weekend.

What's with Hollywood and making stories somehow both overly cryptic and extremely cliche.

The writer should just up and kill himself at this point.

Didn't expcet her to be gay when hollywood made it? Whut?
Cameron Barnes
Ah, you're right.
Xavier Rodriguez
>The Major is the main character and she's gay as fuck. Meh, so she was in original and even in SAC. Otherwise sounds like 3/10 dump Hollywood blockbuster with retarded plot and lots of explosions. Will download 720p BDRips after they become available if I don't forget.
Jayden Young
It's because Hollywood execs and test screenings demand checklist of shit in the films while writers struggle to juggle all that into a limited time span.
Gavin Garcia
>>The trailer lied, the "making of a cyborg" sequence and the iconic turning-invisible-as-she-jumps-off-a-building shot aren't in the movie. Enough to trigger """"""""fans"""""""" autism. This shit is going to flop.
Ethan Lee
>making of a cyborg sequence isn't in the movie Fucking why? Is perfect for the credits at the start. Fans will love it as a "homage" and normies would either like it or call it a copy from Matrix.
Brody Sullivan
Hope it flops so we don't see anymore shitty Hollywod adaptions.
Blake Young
I'm so happy this is even shittier than everyone thought. Can't wait for the reviews shit on them. In fact, it would be funnier if they say it's good.
Luis Jones
>>The Major's name is Mira. This is a constructed personality with false memories to go with her new body,
Is that how they're passing off their casting decisions?
Jason Harris

okay then?

It's about as bad as I was expecting. Thanks for saving me a ticket OP.

Last time I watched a movie outside home was in 2004, the movie Troy with Brad Pitt. I went to the movies with my sister and her friends.
I don't even know if I can buy one single ticket. Do they sell it?
>one ticket please >just one? Where are your friend? >I d-don't... >Where is your gf? >I d-don't >hey, look at this guy! He is going to watch a movie alone! Look at him and laugh!
I am afraid of every couple looking at me and laughing.

I don't know what you guys want this to fail, only good can come from it.

Nice blog, fuck off and kill yourself.

>The thing that triggered my autism is that they completely flipped the central conflict around: The Major feels like she's not a real person, like she has no soul because she's a cyborg
It's some time since I've watched the GitS 1995 movie but isn't this at least partially on point? If I remember correctly, Major wasn't sure if her ghost is genuine or just a scripted program, what with being an 100% cyborg. So she wasn't sure if she's a real person with a ghost or just a robot with scripted programming. Seems pretty close to your report, unless I understood it incorrectly.
The rest sounds awful, though. I guess I won't support this shit with my money and will just wait for the BR rip to come out.
Jace Gutierrez
>through the internet
sounds like tedium
Noah Ortiz
I bet it's a scene trying to tall you that her mother recognizes her "soul"
Christian Powell
>I don't know what you guys want this to fail, only good can come from it.
Everything you listed after "big budgets" won't happen. They'll throw lots of money at licensing anime titles that still turn out horribly.
Hudson Lee
Hollywood plots have to be condensed to fit 2 hours, it wouldn't work. Good English voice acting requires having the lip flaps from the source.
Logan Richardson
You think anyone else going to see this movie has friends let alone a gf, theyd expect it
Angel Rodriguez
no one gives a fuck about you. Just go, seriously.
Isaac Peterson
>they start throwing money at japanese artists to make more cool shit
Even if this did happen, there'll be all sorts of contractual obligations to include ideas and themes that appeal to American ideology
Hudson Long
are you single user?
Daniel Cruz
>new season of pretty cure includes licensed pop songs, emojis, and twerking
Matthew Peterson
Because we saw them trying, and we predicted them failing, because they were doing it wrong form the start.
If they fail now, in a decade someone will try again but they would try something diferent.
Jordan Powell
Did ScarJo manage to demonstrate at least a little of the aura of competence of the Major?
Grayson Barnes
>the iconic turning-invisible-as-she-jumps-off-a-building shot isn't in the movie Stopped reading there.
Liam Nelson
That's not how Hollywood works.
Basically nothing you've described in terms of anime popularity surge will come from Hollywood.
Marvel movies didn't cause more comic IP to bloom, it didn't even create a surge of animated marvel movies, hell, only reason why shows exists is because it's Disney who has their own freaking channel.
Kevin Hall
I actually wanted a little Batou/Major flirting...

Grayson Allen
So about what can be expected from Hollywood. Oh well, still better than Dragon Ball Evolution at least?
>>The trailer lied, the "making of a cyborg" sequence and the iconic turning-invisible-as-she-jumps-off-a-building shot aren't in the movie. Putting iconic scenes in the marketing but not actually in the film? That's just shameful.
Isaac Long
No, these are. And you too.
Christian Rodriguez
>I am afraid of every couple looking at me and laughing. Nobody will care. You'll show up at the counter, the hall will be crowded, no one will pay any attention to you aside from the cashier who absolutely can sell single tickets and is usually fine with selling anything considering how theaters are being deserted these days. None of the Sup Forums memes about going to the movies alone are real. Loads of people do this. The only people who only go to movies with other people are turbonormies.
Gavin Butler
no reply from OP yet, hmmmm
Gabriel Miller
Nope, people spouting memes without even knowing what they mean are cancer, especially when they're trying to seem like rulefags
Xavier Williams
>>The trailer lied, the "making of a cyborg" sequence and the iconic turning-invisible-as-she-jumps-off-a-building shot aren't in the movie.
Wait, fucking really?
This can't be real. That's just fucking retarded from an advertising perspective.
Cooper Myers
You can buy tickets over the web now. Just make sure the place you go to doesn't have a no singles policy in effect
Blake Cook
How'd you know? You're a janny?
Jose Evans
I've been going to movies alone for the past decade.
Just fucking do it if you want to watch it, no one really gives a shit.
Matthew Carter

I want american retardation to stay in america.
Asher Morgan
no mate, he hasn't responded to anyone asking questions like when I asked about the ending earlier. unless it got buried under all the shitposts about people being too insecure at the theatres
Tyler Murphy
Maybe you'll get to hear Batou yell MOTOKOOOOOOO
Ryan Ross
Itd have to be MIRAAAAAAAAAAAA instead
Aaron Edwards
How bad is it compared to Dragonball Evolution?
Samuel Gomez
>he hasn't responded to anyone asking questions like when I asked about the ending earlier Maybe because the actual replies started 90 goddamn minutes after the first post?
