i had low expectations but not low enough characters 0/10 story 3/10 <-- thats because they change way too much from the original and i especially didn't like the fake levi and this Mikasa hot Japanese girls 11/10SPOILER! the best part of the movie is Ayame Misaki's butt, it's also the most awkward

Being the huge phenomenon "Attack on Titan" is (on manga and anime), a live action movie was always to have a huge problem to live up to expectations. This first part of a two-part shows all the shortcomings fans feared, but at the same time it is fun enough and has a quite good atmosphere.The movie (I would like to meet the person who came up with the weird English title, which is already on the original manga) has a pretty basic story. Titans appeared out of nowhere, humans hid behind walls (three, that separate agricultural, commercial and rich people zones) and 100 years have gone by since the attacks. The movie starts with an attack on the outer wall, and with our protagonists running away for their own lives. This first moments shows the good and bad of the movie. The attack is OK, the fear and desperation of people can be felt, but the actors are a little bit bland, the effects not "amazing" and the plot shows shortcomings (like some characters' actions). If the movie had amazing effects, those shortcomings would be easy to forget for many viewers, but here all piles to an OK start.The rest is more of the same in that respect. Action is OK but not great, effects range from ridiculous to OK, and the acting too. The idea of a hyper-militarized society, with so little space it is forced to reach out to get food to its inhabitants rings many bells... Nonetheless, it all ends up being interesting enough. But the mystery, which in the manga has time to develop, here has to be rushed, and it just leaves too many questions unanswered. Will those be answered in the second part?For now, it will probably disappoint many of the fans (starting with the 100% Japanese population of this world, couldn't they find anyone from somewhere else in the world?, and continuing with the difficult job of bringing the Titans to life). But it is also a good enough movie, that brings some tension, some fun, and a couple of questions (stolen from the manga) to think about.

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.

This movie is garbage, it has NOTHING of what renders the original anime\manga a masterpiece. There's no attachment to the characters, huge and key moments completely ignored, an awful script with even worse dialogues, epic moments or characters from the original replaced by some nonsense or simply cut out. Everything, everything is better in the original anime. From the music (just go listen to the intro of the first half of the first season of the anime) to the background to the script and so on. I really feel sorry for those people that are gonna watch this in place of the anime and totally ruin a great experience. Trust me, go watch the anime. The only thing that this movie deserves is to be forgotten.
