This movie is about passion, friendship and talent. It's riveting from start to end, Matt Damon is great, Christian Bale is even greater. James Mangold and his team doesn't make any mistakes, the scenes flows, the car races are simply the best I ever saw in a movie. The story is somewhat classic, it's a biopic, but damn,, it may be the best classic American biopic ever made. Hold on to your seats, this is a great ride.

American critics needs to get their head out their asses. Seriously, any marvel or star wars movie gets a 75 metascore, but any blockbusters that tries to do things differently gets murdered by critics. Now for my opinion on this movie. I'm a fan of the manga, and I loved the movie. They really managed to cram everything that was needed to tell a consistent story, they stayed true to the material, the spirit and the violence. The movie manage to be more emotional and a bit more lighthearted, but this is not a unicorn version. It's gunnm in all its Glory. Alita feels different, but the character is so fascinating, and the eyes gives so much emotions to the character, it's hard not to fall for her, she is so powerful and yet so full of emotion. The only change that was disappointing, is with Yugo, in the manga, the character is literally consumed by his goal to go the zalem. I didn't feel that, especially in the key scene at the end of the movie, to me it was a really important part of the material and I don't know why they did not keep it. Otherwise, outstanding work, the decors, the designs, the action scenes are just amazing. A must watch

I didn't expect anything from Okja, mainly because I didn't like Snowpiercer and Netflix doesn't have a great track record when it comes to movies. But I watched it with an open mind, and it is simply a great movie. Behind the simple story of a little girl and her pig, there is a really complex movie with colorful, interesting, flawed and yet very relatable characters. When you see the relationship between Okja and the little girl, other movies like Totoro and Pete's Dragon will come to mind, it's the old tale of the friendship between the animal/mystical creature and a kid. Full of innocence, beauty, and wonder. But the twist here is that this animal is being bred to be eaten. I'm not a vegan, and I am still not a vegan after watching this movie. But reducing this movie to "eating meat is murder" would be completely stupid and plain wrong, I would remind people that we see the the girl eating fish and a grand father making chicken stew. Okja is not a real animal, it's an imaginary creature made of CGIs. This is not a documentary about cows going to the slaughterhouse. But this "Super-pig" that is Okja, is the catalyst for a lot of questions that we have today about our food. The movie is more about making people think about what is in our plates, how it got there, and where do you draw the line between an intelligent animal like a dog and a animal that is just food like a fish. About the tone of the movie, it successfully shows a harsh reality, but under the light of an excentric imagination. It's a movie where you laugh, cry, hate and think. And to me, it is all the marks **** movie. I would add that some scenes are really not suitable for children though. This is more PG-13.
