As Good As It Gets

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

If you're into torture, rape and anime porn; then this is your kind of flick, because there is nothing other than that here. Ultra self-absorbed characters spewing whiny drivel throughout the entire movie laid upon the thinnest plot. All drawn out by one endless dramatic pause after another.I thought it would never stop...Pure trash.

I am a man with lots of feelings, lots of fragile and optimistic feelings. My friend, who fully knew that I am an emotional man and knew the ending of the third act, told me to watch Berserk: the Golden Age. Afterwards, it went something like this.Friend: Hey did you finish the movies?Me:....yesFriend: What did you think?Me:...........................................why?Friend: yea...that is how i felt.Me: Yeah? Were you feeling: HOLY SH*T HOLY SH*T HOLY SH*T HOLY SH*T HOLY SH*T, DID HE REALLY JUST DO THAT?Let's just say that Game of Thrones is the teacup ride in Disneyland, and Berserk is the Kingda Ka in Six Flags. Everything came out of the blue, completely random. FOR NO REASON! Well, I needed some closure and comfort after that "Mind-rape".(that is literally what happens, a character was f*cked so hard, she becomes straight up retarded)So, I began reading the manga, and I can say that my feels were comforted a little afterwards. Berserk: Descent is a movie worthy of that title. It shows us why its called that in the most literal and gruesome way, and although the reasons and motives of this descent is still unclear, it gets the audience asking WHY WHY WHY? Which I am guessing is what the director wanted us to do. I give this a WTF/10. Enjoy.

I think about this film a little differently from the other reviewers. I have read the Manga, and I have watched the anime, and I am interested in what this anime version adds to what has already been published.In my opinion Berserk fans should read the original, because it has everything--every last little detail, ranging from the evolution of Miura's drawing and storytelling style, to scenes omitted from both the animated series and the movie. These details are important for people who want to know the characters of Berserk and its world as well as possible. It also takes more risks artistically: plot points are more likely to be delivered out of order, there is more foreshadowing and symbolism, the number of sub-plots is greater....adaptations usually transform or simplify the original to match the conventions of a new target audience, so that its features can be more immediately recognized, digested, or even predicted. The original lacks these changes, and so is in a sense also a document of Japanese culture.I would recommend this movie with some caveats. If you can't read the original, you should watch the first 21 or so episodes of the animated series, and then watch this film. Watch the first two movies of the new trilogy later. Too much of what makes you care about the characters, and be concerned about their fate--which is grossly affected by this film--is missing from the first two movies. What is omitted is too important to the overall story: it explains why Guts thinks the way he does, why the characters came to be the way they are, their motivations, values, knowledge, etc. Too much of what follows won't make sense, or won't register with you, if you are not aware of what the characters care about. Assuming you do the above, the third movie is an excellent adaptation of probably the most powerful portion of the Berserk narrative. The animation makes the events come to life very clearly and very effectively. The mood is sustained, the suspense is maintained, the characters "look cool", and anticipation is built up for the next installment.

The third installment of 'Berserk: The Golden Age Arc' movie series which was based on the manga series. As expected the movie didn't disappoint me but still first two are the epic compared to it. Yes first two were war genre, fully gore, awesome movies and this third one was slightly turned out fantasy-horror. After where it ended in second part I thought the revenge will commence in its follow-up story but it surprised me and took us on the different path.This story follows after a year since Guts and Griffith parted. Some of the escaped Hawk bands prepare for the rescue mission in the Casca's stand-in command to bring back their leader. Soon, Guts join them, the rescue team becomes much stronger. Not wasting much time the mission commence and what comes next is the unexpected twist and theme transformation. The dark world unleashes, without a mercy it assault the heroes and leaves the unforgettable scars. The best part of all these three movies were the way the movie ended. It leaves something broad open which makes us to guess what will happen next like a mind twister.Yeah I know most of the people like Guts and it is my favourite character as well. In this part The Griffith character was weakened but we knew it coming. As he was a mysterious character from the very first movie especially with his 'golden egg' I knew there must be some story behind it. This movie did not explain that portions very well, maybe we can expect that in the next part, I hope so. And Casca was as usual supported very well.The sex scenes were stronger like in 'The Battle for Doldrey', so the movie is not suitable for everyone. Those who like sword-war theme and Anime especially gore will enjoy it. If you have not seen first two, begin with those, you will love this trilogy for sure. Now I am eagerly waiting for its fourth. Highly recommended for adults.8/10
