Why Alita Battle Angel Wasn’t As Great As It Could’ve Been

Now that the dust has settled with Alita Battle Angel, I can give my honest review. We know that the critics gave it a 61% on Rotten Tomatoes. The Audience Score is a 93%, which is much better than 61%, but I feel it had the potential to get a 90% on both categories. With a great cast, Robert Rodriguez directing, and James Cameron producing, why did it do so bad?

To give you my thoughts on why it bombed, I have to mention a lot of spoilers, so be prepared.
