After reading all bad reviews, I expected to be disappointed, however disappointment never came, all 3 hours of it's playtime were fun, I'd say even more fun than most other CGI flicks. Movie is great, definitely more gory than the previous ones. Creatures are visually impressive. Story might not be too cohesive but that can unexpectedly become part of the fun after being tired with all the pseudo-drama in other superhero franchises. Having no soapy love story is additional plus in my book. Unless, of course, one attends all those CGI-filled movies expecting Citizen Kanes or such.

All in all, a great trashy alternative to all the current mass-oriented superhero pulp.

i generally like anime (the ones i loved were for example berserk, akira, death note..), and i had high expectations for this one seeing how highly rated it is, but after watching it together with my girlfriend (which also loved series i mentioned) we agreed that this one is extremely boring and emotionally unrealistic. first few episodes were OK, but listening to the same song (even though beautiful) several times during one episode, and constant switching from children relationships to extreme violence (executed same way each time) gets simply annoying. we stopped watching it after 5 episodes and came back to it approximately year after just to finish these series and hopefully to see some change to better, but we got disappointed with series and their ending.

initially (after watching first episode) i rated it 9, but after watching it whole my rating came down to 5.
