arturodv1996 So we saw the live action version of Attack on Titan, and was it as good as the anime? Well, read to find out. If you don't know the story of this series I'll just go ahead and explain. A hundred years ago, titans arrived and killed a lot of people, but humanity built walls to protect themselves from the titans. In present day, the main characters live their lives still inside the walls. But some of them are bored and want to go outside the wall to see what's there. That's when chaos happens. I won't spoil anything else. But is the live action story the same as the anime? Well...yes and no. For starters, the world is the same except that there's a combination of modern weapons and old, and the beginning starts off - and ends - differently from the anime. There are things from the anime that still play a part in this version of the story, even though there are changes.This movie was dark and really bloody (live action violence might bother some people more than anime violence). There were at least two characters I couldn't tell if they were made for this version, or if they were in a anime (they could have been a combination of characters), but the really sad part is that Levi isn't in here. There's a character that seems to be modeled after him, even though he has a different personality (he's more humorous than anime Levi).What I liked about this movie was that we get a real life version of our beloved anime. It was really nice to see at least three characters that looked exactly like Eren, Mikasa, and Hanji; the actors for them were good picks.The dramatic and emotional scenes really make you feel like you're in the chaos, which was nice. As for the titans themselves - they're even more creepy than in the anime.Now, a lot of people would probably not like the changes from the series, but I thought it was a good thing. Like Death Note, it had the main plot but with a different take. I like seeing a different take on things sometimes - like with Fullmetal Alchemist, when you watch Brotherhood after seeing the original it's a new adventure even though some elements are the same. That's what I liked about the live action movie of Attack on TitanFinal thoughts: If you're a big Attack on Titan fan and don't mind change, then go for it. I thought it was pretty good.

cavalieore Fans can make better versions of this story. Possibly the director preferred to show his "Personal" perspective of the film everything in this movie is a total crap, heck, crap is even more useful than this. This movie makes the last airbender look so nice and other live action adaptation of anime. Starting from the modern-post-apocalyptic design of the set to the script that was prepared for this movie. I think only the character of hange is the one i considered at least not an eye sore. Green screen, c'mon even youtubers can make use of the green screen better than how this production used it. The casting of the actors is really irritating, mikasa should give the vibe of a strong female character and eren is a strong willed person. How i hate the idea of how they are wearing the 3-D maneuver gear but not using it. In the manga that is a part of the training before they can even choose the department that they want to join. But they preferred to wait till mikasa and that other unnecessary person to show up and watch them kill titans using the gear and the swords. And by the way, i hate how they made mikasa hate eren then in a couple of minutes he cares about him again. Seriously, the whole production team should never make another movie involving adaptations again. And the director and the script writer should never enter the industry EVER

Jerghal Sure, the trailer looked cool which had all the Titans in them. Because those are actually the only things that makes this film worth watching. Though the super-large Titan you see on the poster is only featured briefly, the normal Titans are less cool coz they're basically chubby naked men and women who where filmed in slomo and then composited into the scenes and they are a lot smaller. The young adult characters who are needed to fill in the rest of the movie are sadly overacting unlikable twats who you'd rather see end up in the mouth of said Titans then anything else. Apparently they thought there was some more need for filler scenes because this was only part 1, so there is a second part that I guess I'll probably have to check out too. But you folks can just go about your business and move along coz I would not recommend this unless you REALLY need to see them Titans but then again you could check out either the 17 volume manga from 2009 or the 2013 animated TV series which is in it's second season now and still running.

Charles Herold (cherold) I was blown away by the Attack on Titan anime series. It was original and almost overwhelmingly thrilling, and it offered an intriguing mystery (as with Lost, the series keeps adding to the mystery without doing much answering, and I've about given up that there's every going to be a satisfactory answer to anything).I also thought the movie was absolutely terrific, with the same level of wild excitement and horrific cruelty. And I was honestly surprised by how hostile other reviewers here are.A couple of the big criticisms of this movie are that the story has been changed and that there is a lack of character development.Honestly, I don't even remember the anime's story, for the most part. All I remember is endless, incredibly exciting battles. I had to do a search on differences to even find out what has changed, and I'm still vague on it. The locale has changed, and the names (everything is Japanese now, which seems fine to me). A character has been excised and apparently the main character's personality is different. And I don't care, because I loved the show for its thrills, not it's people. Was the character development better in the anime? Of course. They had a lot of time for character development. There wasn't a lot of that in the first few episodes, but over time they did create a few interesting characters to a greater extent than the movie. But people, the anime isn't Shakespeare, and these aren't characters for the ages. And in both the anime and the movie, all you really need is a basic sketch of the character since they'll probably be dead soon anyway. The deaths are more upsetting in the anime, but I'm okay with being a little less upset, honestly.People also complain about the special effects. I saw the movie on TV, and on TV, the special effects look decent. The incredibly overrated Hollywood action epic The Avengers certainly had better special effects, but I was still far more entertained by Titan.The movie's certainly not perfect. It lags in the middle. Characters do unrealistically stupid things (at one point two characters do something really dumb when in a real army someone would have stopped them). There is one ridiculous blood-on-the-camera-lens shot. But overall it is tremendously exciting, and for me almost as satisfying as the anime. I'm looking forward to seeing part 2.
