This movie was picked up by Toho back when the manga was first starting out. It wasn't supposed to be an adaptation of the anime. A fan of something should be open to other versions of the same story. A true Attack on Titan should at least think this movie is descent. It is NOT utter trash. This movie is a homage to the things that inspired he manga in he first place. This movie is not for the fans of the anime, it's for Kaiju movie fans.

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.

I have seen some really bad movies but this one is indescribable bad. If I could vote 0 on this movie, I would have. Could only watch half the movie, it was so bad. The producers of this movie went out of their way to get the worst actors and actresses they could find. The special effects, if you could actually call it special effects, there was none. The producers must of told the Japanese actors and actresses, who played the Titans to act like morons and idiots, they did, also the Titans have a stupid moronic laugh. Everybody in this movie started to get on my last nerve. The name of this movie is, Attack on Titan, Part 1, GOD, I HOPE THERE ISN'T GOING TO BE A PART 2.

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.
