Maidgethma Wonderfully offbeat film!
Flyerplesys Perfectly adorable
Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
phoenix 2 Well, one thing that this movie surely had was too much blood. I mean, the Titans could not eat the humans as a whole, but had to always cut them in half...Anyway, part from that, the movie was okay. I mean, I have seen worse. But, still, I expected this one too be super good, as everyone is so hyped over this series. So, the performances were good, but I would have liked to have a better explanation over the whole titan thing. Plus, the special effects were really not good. Not horrible, but kind of fake. The horror part I guess was supposed to be created by the creepy laughs and the weird titan mouths, as well as the blood bath. Overall, 4 out of 10, as it was kind of enjoyable, but not as good as it should have been.
Rui Gomes So, here's the thing about this movie, if you have watched the anime you will most likely be annoyed at most characters, Mikasa especially, so it's easy to understand all the hate this movie has been getting. It almost seems like whoever wrote the script thought he could do a better job with the characters but failed miserably. Characters like Mikasa or Eren and even Jean have very different personalities and not for the better, and it wouldn't surprise me if you stopped watching this movie halfway through just for that. Also plenty of interchangeable characters you just sort of wish get eaten at some point (Jean included). The story is a bit rushed too but when you are filling half a season of anime into 90 minutes it's forgivable.That being said here's why this movie is actually not a bad movie: first, the visual effects are fantastic. If you can't forgive the different story when you see those titans I don't know what to tell you, this is the perfect representation of titans. Perfect! They are creepy, they are huge and they eat people with less censorship than the anime. The mood is great, it feels like AoT, other than being a bit more modern but it doesn't lean on that. They use cars because horses would be a pain. Also it's full of awesome scenes, Eren turning into a titan and kicking ass is great and his titan looks perfect. I'm a big fan of the manga and the anime so I can't forgive what they did to some characters however, if you know little about the manga and anime I'd really advise you to watch this, not only will you love it, will want to watch the source material and you'll love it even more.
amandaiam388 Total and complete shiet. I strongly urge you to not watch this movie. It was really bad, didn't follow manga or anime. Extremely disappointing. We attack on titan fans have waited a long time for things and then we get this shiet? I was genuinely excited to watch this movie, waste of my damn time. I guess it's nice to know that this movie is awful. I put this movie off for a very long time, avoided all publications that discussed it and just waited patiently for the right moment. What a terrible movie. Fun fact: Eren's mom isn't even in the movie! What!? She's a main character. Thank you Attack on Titan, for testing my dang spirit once again. What is the ending too? It was idiotic. That explains why the nape is the weak point. WHAT!? No it doesn't! What the fack? Just, don't watch it.
siderite I have no idea how the original manga goes, so I can't compare, but as stand alone, I have to say it was pretty weird and original. I loved the monsters, the design, the story and the ideas. I hated the ridiculously over the top Japanese acting. Overall, though, I think it was quite cool.The main characters in this film are three youngsters, two male and one female, who witness the destruction of their district by titans, huge humanoid mindless beasts who are immortal and eat people alive. I liked that even if one of the males, Eren, is favored as the lead character, it still leaves a lot for the other characters.I would say that, besides the acting and horrendous editing, this film is pretty damn amazing. It certainly makes me want to see the anime and/or read the manga now, so that has to be good. One word of warning, though, this is just the first part of the story. The rest of it is Attack on Titan - End of the World, or part 2.
