Holy Hell!

I don't know what to say tbh, this movie explains why we haven't had season 2 yet.

Honestly? I am a bit worried. The anime is the perfect medium for this story ... time is naturally displaced creating tension that i do not believe can be recreated on film. Take the scenes where our heroes whiz through the forest like ninja Spiderman ... anime can present still shots where the characters seemingly just float through the air as if gravity does not even exist. Live? This is going to look cheeeeeeesy if the filmmakers try to recreate. And if they don't, then we miss all the important insight that the character is thinking -- there is a LOT of this in the anime.

I find it a shame that the filmmakers could not feasibly cast non-Japanese people in this one ... but i understand how hard that is to pull off, so i won't fault the film here. Shame they could not team up with other countries on this one. Most everyone in the story is of mixed race.

Finally ... colors. The anime is rich with greens and blues. The movie looks drab and dirty.

I really, really liked it and am looking forward to the sequels. :)


"Hail to the king, baby" :OD

i admit i never heard of anything having to do with AOT until i saw the trailer for the live action movie. i just watched it and i actually kind of liked it. it's not a good movie if one is looking for a well written, well acted, layered storyline type of film but if you are looking for a fun, mindless, popcorn type action/horror movie with INCREDIBLY creepy/disturbing giant creatures in it (they are excellent IMO) then you may like this movie. IMO it's a decent creature feature.

I thought it was a dumb idea, because the titans wouldn't translate well and they wouldn't be able to do the fight scenes.

The movie was bad, but the titans looked as creepy as they do in the anime and manga. The zip line fights were pretty cool, the only real thing with the special effects was that the collosual titan was way too tall and not proportioned as well as the other titans. A live action movie can work as a spinoff or prequel, but trying to tell us a story that tries to squeeze the content of a manga and anime into 2 hours just makes for a *beep* story especially since everyone one will compare it.

Well it's absolute garbage that's completely missing the point. I can't believe they could f up so badly. It's wrong all the way from the start. None of the characters are the same, and none of them are good. Mikasa is sickening to watch. Japanese can't act. The characters are wrong, their goals and reasons and ideas are wrong, the architecture is wrong, the tech is wrong, the timing is wrong, any backstories are omitted altogether, AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER TO NAME THE DAMN WALLS... It's hollow, shallow and pointless and SO loosely based on the manga it doesn't even deserve the name! Even if I hadn't seen the anime beforehand I wouldn't have found this even remotely good. Dumbest junk this year. Possibly ever, because it definitely beats Bay's Transformers on the level of wrong and disgraceful... Shingeki No Kyojin IN NAME ONLY!
