Attack on Titan is recently one of the most popular manga/anime in a while, it wasn't nearly as rich as some of the greatest ones out there, however the material tackles a rather mature subtext, otherwise a really fascinating showcase of macabre in a larger scale. It's clearly destined to be a movie, it might as well fit in today's blockbuster trend of post-apocalyptic settings and revolution ordeals. But the movie's approach is rather standard in comparison. While it still wonderfully realizes the most grotesque moments of its source material, the characters are watered down with less interesting plights. Newcomers might find its premise intriguing, but what makes Attack on Titan interesting is hardly existent in this adaptation.

How the main characters are introduced is painfully contrived. Like every piece of exposition is immediately crammed into that one long scene that is supposed to establish who they are and what their world is. The difference is it's not quite compelling. I personally don't mind changes from its source material; the protagonist, Eren, is basically now a slacker who is tired of living behind the colossal walls from the titans, instead of an aggressive kid with some sociopathic tendencies who vows for revenge. It's not necessarily horrible since they're still represented as unlikely heroes, but Eren's arc is basically just trying to win back his girl and living up to that image, it makes him look lousier. What makes this character originally interesting is the fact that he is a traumatized kid who is too full of himself, which eventually crosses the line of his humanity and morality. It may not be the friendliest role model you'll see from a hero, but it rather makes him more relatable.

And that sounds more reasonable since this circumstance would really affect one's senses into insanity or paranoia. But in this movie, they're just verbally expressing their fears, sentiments and humor. The plot is ought to be followed through these characters, but most of them are single noted. They might as well exist in some YA where they're designed to be hormonally appealing. In the end, they're clearly just uninteresting. To its credit, the visuals are pretty cool. It may not be perfect or spectacular, but it's impressive enough to take these exciting moments into live action. There are some scenes that can be count as genuinely awesome, specifically the climax, even though it now seems to be quite senseless since they're taking this story to a different direction. Nevertheless, as long as these Titans and gore are on screen, there is some real pleasure to be taken.

Attack on Titan, in spite of its scale and production, is surprisingly underwhelming. The filmmakers are clearly just following the conventional direction of adapting a popular material, more or less. Visually, it's appropriate to call it a fan service; because it indeed puts these big action where it belongs. But thematically, it is a letdown. Attack on Titan isn't only great for its creepy titans and cool gadgetry, in fact, these things are basically small compared to its surprising complexity within its characters. That is what I personally believe that makes this material great, and yet that's what the movie ended up altering. Therefore it's just a standard B-Movie. It can be mindless fun, but you won't find anything else to like in the end.

As a non-fan I was mildly entertained. Didn't think it was terrible, didn't think it was the best film ever. I felt it faithfully translated a very convoluted TV series the best way it could within 90 mins while not sacrificing action and Titan screen time.

I don't consider myself a fan of the TV series, but being someone in their late 30's who grew up on they heyday of Japanese animation back in the 80's and 90's--Attack on Titan was the first time in a long while that an animation from there felt fresh, poignant and emotionally compromising for the viewer. The young kid in me would have loved this TV series, but the late 30's me who has been through a lot in life and chooses to seek out more positive and cheerful entertainment felt it got a bit too overly depressing and macabre. That's not saying I felt it was bad, just no longer my taste in entertainment anymore.

Fanboys/fan-girls on here rating this film 1's have noticeably a lot of impractical whines concerning the film. They simply are expecting a 600 hour TV animation series to be summed up in 90mins. It doesn't take someone who has worked on a film to realize that is setting up an impractical expectation. Characters and situations ARE to be expectedly retooled in order to give the film proper pacing. Sure, some characters in the film that fans had invested a lot of hours into via the TV series are sometimes sidelined, rewritten or killed off. I expected and knew this would happen and it didn't change my perspective on the overall film because I didn't go in with impractical fan expectations of this "film adaptation". Of course a 600 hour TV series has plenty of time for you to become emotionally invested with meat shield fighters that the overall story had every intention of killing off down the line for more emotional impact. But trying to delve into all those characters in a 90 minute film isn't going to happen. Have to be more objective than that within the context of this adaptation.

That being said the film does suffer from being disjointed and rushing through major plot points towards the final cliffhanger. It's really a film that just gets to the point and does not bores you with exposition that you can pretty much obviously figure out on your own.

The Titans are absolutely as terrifying as I remembered from the TV series and faithfully depicted. I found myself covering my face in some parts like I did with the TV series, so I think they did their job well in translating the horror and macabre of what the humans went through.

The action was obviously CGI heavy, but not done in a way that felt tawdry. They perfectly captured the aerial flight and feel of the fights from the TV series well.

Attack on Titan was by no means a 1 rated film. It's no Ed Wood film. It's no Manos the Hands of Fate. It's not Glitter levels of bad. It's not a film that is really that terrible. It's a film that on a baseline captures the terrifying essence of the TV series main concepts, but does suffers a little bit on core characters development.

AoT is probably one of the most popular series out there at the moment and I will admit that die-hard fans would find this disappointing. However, I am a die-hard fan myself and when I heard the news that a live-action was being made, I delved straight into research. I continued this research all the way from the beginning to even up to the point where I watched it myself.

First, I've always thought that live-action movies have never really been Japan's forte, plus considering the technical aspects of AoT I had a feeling CG and effects would be dodgy at some points. And honestly, I was IMPRESSED with the effects; yeah, some points I thought it could've been better and occasionally I rolled my eyes and thought, "Totally NOT a green screen." But equal many times I literally squealed in delight at the CG and effects, because it looked absolutely terrific during those times.

Secondly, for those of you who complain that it doesn't follow the original storyline at all. Isayama Hajime himself ASKED for the story to be different and it was up to the writers, yet to still keep the key elements. I found this out so long ago that I was prepared for something different the whole time, and I like the result. Except the ending, the last twenty or so minutes I feel as though the writers sort of lost their creative spark and tried to put in as many scenes from the manga as they could, which was disappointing.

Third, the acting and the characters. I liked the acting a lot in this movie, except for a few characters in some scenes. I thought Kiko Mizuhara played Mikasa beautifully and think no else could play the role better than her, honestly. I also liked how the writers gave Mikasa more of a "not taking any bullshit" attitude, but that's more of a personal preference, I suppose. Honestly, I just liked the general acting of characters.

Last thing, the scenery. Oh my lord how I loved the settings.The more crowded towns, the fields, the walls... AND THE GORE, wow. If there's anything I've learnt about Japan, is that they're not light on the gore for things like this. And I was absolutely LOVING IT.

Overall, I really liked this movie except for the ending, but hopefully the next movie will make up for it. I would watch this again at some point, no doubt. Just watch it with an open mind and don't criticize every point, then trust me, it's an enjoyable movie.

A few minutes into the movie I was taken by surprise that the director chose to wildly mash up the characters and their relationships. Even though I really like the anime I was open to a new envisionment of the source material, since prejudice is something I try not to practice. Maybe the director wanted a new interpretation, while maintaining the essence of the series. But then it dawned on me that this new interpretation was leaky at best and the capturing of the essence was a parody. It was a 90 minute crap-fest of half-assed dialog, disinterested story telling and slasher-like violence. The movie also had a particular inability of finding a tone. Any tone. All the scenes feel staged, unreal and almost completely unrelated. Most disturbingly however was the implausibility. Nothing seems connected and nobody related. This is a waste of brilliant source material!

First of all I have seen the anime and it's definitely one of my favorites. This movie is a complete and utter disgrace to the franchise and does not have any positive quality that gave the franchise the popularity it earned nor does it have any qualities that make up for how bad it is.

The story in this version is for some reason changed severely from the original, which I would not even mind if it were just as good or even remotely decent, but no, it is very, very far from that. The story has A LOT of holes in its plot and logic. They removed the things that made the story beautiful, dramatic, and powerful and replaced them with their own amateurish, illogical, juvenile, excuse for writing. I cannot even fathom why or how the creator allowed this to happen.

Like the story, the characters are so heavily altered, they don't even have the same personalities as the original. Eren is now some kind of personification of "cool" from some nine year old's mind and Mikasa is now your average dumb, doting, beta girl. The dialogue is so completely stupid that I could not stop cringing the entire time. Despite the fact that they only needed 90 minutes for this movie, there are still a lot of awkward, unnecessary scenes and pauses that make the cringing feeling really set in.

The acting is also terrible, it's more of something you would expect from kids in a school play rather than from professionals in a big screen movie for a huge franchise. The CGI would have been impressive twenty years ago, like everything else they seemed to have settled on something mediocre at best yet they still add a lot of unnecessary CGI scenes that just help pronounce how bad it is.

I have no idea how much their budget was but they can't expect to release this movie without expecting massive negative criticisms not just from fans but even from your average consumers of today's media. Yes if you showed this movie to a caveman who's never seen any recent entertainment media, he might be impressed but the standards have been set and this garbage cannot even pass as "decent" for today's standards. Even more so because this movie belongs to a huge, successful, popular franchise and this movie has had so much hype leading up to its release.

This movie was so incredibly disappointing. Madman completely wasted their time on this rubbish. I can not believe how they have run Hajime Isayama's manga through the mud, destroying it. Not one aspect, beside the names and existence of Titans, of this movie adaptation was similar the manga or anime. They completely cut out integral characters, plot lines and places. Instead adding useless romance arcs or making up interactions between characters who never even existed. To put this simply, this movie fails in the same way as M. Night Shyamalan's adaptation of Avatar The Last Air Bender, to capture the essence of the original text. I suggest they take every copy of this crap and bury it in a pile like the Atari's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and NEVER speak of it again! Madman I suggest you spend you time and money on better projects in future.

Well let's start by saying that we all knew coming in that the movie was going to be different from the manga and the anime. The movie was supervised by Hajime Isayama the author. The story is similar but is its own story. The CGI of course is not like the Hollywood movies CGI but then again the budget for Japanese movies compared to Hollywood movies are lower. I think they did a decent job with the CGI and the story is not that bad. You have to go into this movie with an open mind and try not to compared to the manga. I laugh when I see people complaining that all the actors are Japanese and that they should be white ..These are the same people that talked trash about Dragon Ball Evolution. The ones that said " why did Hollywood destroyed my childhood? " .. well now they want Hollywood to make AOT... The acting was decent and I really can't wait for the second part. Let's not forget that a lot of movies that are based on books and novels are always change... people are crying for Hollywood to do it better ..well let's see what they are going to say once Lionsgate makes the Naruto live action movie since they got the right to it from what I read...

If you thought Avatar: The Last Airbender live action adaption was bad, wait until you see Attack on Titan live action adaption. It is so bad that I have no words to even describe it.

Don't even bother wasting your time watching it.

You can't even call this an adaptation because it isn't anything close to an adaption.

The acting is bad, the CGI is bad, the audio is bad, the story is bad and the visuals are bad. The movie should be renamed to Attack on Franchise; How to Destroy a Franchise.

I just can't believe how bad it is!

This movie sucks. Director should probably go home and rethink his life.

This movie was terrible. If you read or watch the anime then you'll quickly get extremely annoyed in the first 30 minutes of the movie and I promise you that you will end up very disappointed by the end of the movie. The story is terrible and many characters are portrayed incorrectly.

If you truly need to watch it then do not waste your money on it and instead watch it for free online or in a later date of release. The movie isn't even worth a dollar. It looks like they rushed this movie and only made it for the purpose of grabbing quick cash because of how big Attack on Titan series are at this moment in the manga world. I'm also sure that the movie budget were very low because the CGI were horrendous! Especially when the characters were using their gears. The only good part about the movie are the titans and their brutality.

SKIP SKIP SKIPPPPPPPPPPPP

This Movie is an Insult to the original Anime.

They have ruined the movie so bad. Completly Changed the whole story line.

It's better to not watch this movie.

If you want torture yourself go on.

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.

It's a nice action movie this one. I don't agree with all these bad reviewers that gave the movie a low ranking. I don't know anything about the previous stories or movies so just blank in this one. I think it's a solid action movie with sci-fi features. I enjoyed the whole ride and don't care about it's story that much. It's just entertaining. Special effects are sometimes nice and sometimes a bit outdated but it got my attention the whole movie through.I would say just watch and it's better then the reviews say it is. Just a nice Japanese movie to watch.Just watch it and then decide.It's my first review. I think it's underrated. Seen lots of movies so i can compare it.

Film studio usually takes liberty on interpreting a live action, but Shingeki no Kyojin strays so much it doesn't even resembles the original story. This would be acceptable if the new plot follows the same core, far from that the characters and world here feel inferior, they are almost unrecognizable if not for the cosmetic. Its biggest strength is the gore, it's a viable action with a lick of horror when it gets momentum.

Humanity has a grim reminder that they live in fear of Titans, or so the opening says. The film focuses on a group of youngster trying to fend off Titans with Spider-Man cosplay tool. Right from the opening act, it doesn't follow the plot of manga. To be fair, it would have been okay if it worked. I'm not a fan and changes are expected, but in this case, it ruins both the new rendition and might even offend the fans.

Setting takes a drastic turns, both the time and place are entirely different. Character development feels watered down. Stripped from their traits, these guys and girls look like generic anime protagonist, while in manga they at least have distinct features. This rings especially true with the lead Eren and Mikasa who only bear the same name yet without any real charm.

The new additional characters as well as the portrayal of existing ones are choppy at best. Probably only a few of the scenes with humans actually have the same level of humor or tone. Effects don't really capture the agile motion, although the Titans do appear menacing. They look creepy enough with all the smirk and blood, which the show used in abundance. These Titans are bleeders.

It's uncertain what this live action tries to accomplish, its major demographic is definitely the fans, yet the significant change will turn them off. It may appeal to general audience as an action flick, although with lesser plot it's merely passable as monster movie with slightly nifty gimmick.

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). (ADDENDUM: actually they did eventually explain things, so I was wrong there)

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 its 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. ADDENDUM: Part 2 was bad.

I was (un)fortunate to see this film and its sequel in theaters, during the initial US premier run. It was a packed house of people who were there to see this film and support it. In the first half of the runtime we were quiet and respectful, seeing what the film had to say. By the second half, the audience was actively laughing and jeering at this cinematic abomination. I have never seen an audience opinion form so decisively and unmistakably in real time. Not even the most ardent supporters of the Attack on Titan franchise can make excuses for this absolute trainwreck of a film. If you want to see an Attack on Titan parody, which takes itself so seriously that it becomes funny, this is your ticket!

OK, they changed quite a few things from the anime/manga but so what? They nailed the look of the titans perfectly. If they'd got English actors in it would have got a wider audience but I think the Japanese actors are good and resemble the characters they are supposed to portray pretty well. Recommend it to all, those who liked Godzilla type films will enjoy it I'm sure and those who are fans of the anime or manga (like I am) - I still definitely recommend watching it regardless of the changes. This film could have been so so bad especially if the effects were poor, but it turns out they did a pretty good job, like I said I think they got the look of the titans correct and the world inside a wall. Looking forward to the sequel.
