BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

jehannaicker Wow! and not in the sense that it was good, wow as in how could you dare pass this off as Attack on Titan. The story strayed so much from the original content that its unrecognizable. I don't mind a retelling or different approach when creating a live-action film but to completely change its context is unacceptable, especially when your target audience are the fans who love the manga/anime so much. Eren's motivation for killing the titans was revenge for how they destroyed his hometown and eating his mother right in front of the poor kid but now its just to ease his own conscious for leaving mikasa out of the shelter to die. Mikasa went from a strong headed female character in the anime to something completely different. And the whole point of not having Mikasa and Eren be together as a couple was a link to their backstory of being childhood friends with their father both having worked together. Armin suddenly creates gadgets. I don't recall that at all. He was more of a strategist. The side characters had more depth than the lead roles. A lot of other characters that trained with Eren weren't featured which was disappointing due to the fact that they helped influence Eren's personality throughout the manga/anime. Then we get to the real thing that pisses me off. Who the hell is this Shikishima character and why is he the armored titan and the General-Commander is the Coloussus Titan. What?! Just what?! No I can't accept such liberal recasting of who gets to be who. The actors didn't play their parts except for the side characters. Everything felt forced liked they were role-playing an anime instead of owning a live-action version of it. I think an American studio would've done a better job considering that not all the humans left in the world were Japanese. I understand that its from a Japanese source but the fact of the matter is that all of humanities survivors were of different races and ethnicities which is what showcased that humanity could put aside their differences and come together to face this threat.I think the first part should've been about Eren's character development and his training then the second part should've been the next attack on wall Rose when Eren seals it with the large rock.All in all it was a huge waste of time and i couldn't wait for it to end. Yet another failure for live-action adaptions.

James Wright The first thing to say is that part one and two could have definitely been combined with a bit more tightening of the story since the first part dragged a little and this part is mostly set pieces that could have been shortened. While the first part had perhaps too much character work and not enough action, this part has the opposite problem, which could have probably been remedied if they had been combined, making a much better overall film.Having said that, this part is probably more enjoyable for fans, but would make absolutely no sense if you somehow managed to watch it before part one and had no idea about the anime/manga. (I'm not sure who would actually do this, but it could happen!) The action and Titan fights are cool and there is enough crazy fun to keep the viewer engaged throughout, but again, without part one the plot makes only some sense and the stakes are completely lost without context.Overall this part is the better of the two, but definitely needs the first to make it so. The two together are an adequate telling of the Attack on Titan story, although it definitely could have benefited from being a single movie.

Coolworld Johnny Disappointing for me as a fan of the original anime, either it's how the anime story is intended to be developed and then this movie is not only a gigantic spoiler but it also totally kills it or it is quite a clever end-it-all/explain-it-all twist that I could buy into but then I'd have needed at least another movie, with visuals instead of long winding speeches & flashbacks, it's supposed to be a movie after all and not a radio-show. All the awesomeness that was barely grazed on in the first movie is gone from the second one...there should've been the gas-canister flying feelings much like the Raimi-Spiderman + the combat training AND fight- scenes both on ground and aerial and finally the Titans themselves rendering everything useless but for the efforts of the truly gifted warriors like Mikasa and squad leader Levi, where was all that ? Naaah, very sad, don't bother with any of them or finish it if you must since you've seen the first movie already.

3xHCCH This sequel to last month's live-action version of the manga/anime "Attack on Titan." That was a much-anticipated film because of the popularity of the anime. However, it was uniformly met with bad reviews and fan disappointment because of the poor Titan special effects, but more because of the significant, arguably ill-advised or unnecessary changes in the storyline made to fit a live-action format.The first episode ended with the revelation that Eren was actually the special Titan who was killing the other regular Titans. This sequel began with an inquiry conducted by a ruthless Director General who seemed to want nothing but to execute Eren. Of course, Eren's friend Armin bravely argued for his friend. The action builds up to a climactic grand three-way fight among three special Titans on the outermost wall. This sequel, released just a month after the original, was only about an hour and a half long. The first 20 minutes or so was just a reiteration of the event in the first film. For me, the two films could have been simply integrated into one longer film. We do not see much of the regular Titans anymore in this film. We will also see the origin of the Titans and the reason why Eren become a Titan recalled in flashbacks which i wished were treated with more details and clarity. Like the first film, and even more so in this sequel, we see over-the- top acting from most of the cast. The main group of young soldiers, led of course by the trio of lead characters: Eren Yeager (Haruma Miura), Mikasa Ackerman (Mizuhara Kiko), and Armin Arlert (Kanata Hongô). The Mikasa of the films was not at all like the Mikasa in the anime. We see at least one act of bravery from each of their friends as well, namely Sasha Blouse aka Potato Girl (Nanami Sakuraba), Jean Kirstein (Takahiro Miura) and Sannagi (Satoru Matsuo). We see more of the bespectacled yet incredibly (and hilariously) hyperactive senior female officer Hange Zoë (Satomi Ishihara). We will get a surprising revelation about the enigmatic Shikishima (Hiroki Hasegawa), the character that replaced Levi Ackerman, "Humanity's Strongest Soldier" in the manga/anime. A similarly remarkable storyline follows the human antagonist Kubal (Jun Kunimura). Unfortunately, the film does not give us a satisfactory explanation about what happened to these last two characters.This film just sought to close the main storyline started by the first film, direct to the point. No more side detours were included. It was all over in less than 90 minutes. Unfortunately, a major part of this sequel was just a lot of talking, with practically no action in the first hour. By the time it reached the battle-royale in the last thirty minutes, a lot of the audience may have already zoned out. It was not really much of an Armageddon as promised by its title. 4/10.
