MASSIVE SPOILERS. I'd give it a 3 out of 10 even. I can't really see the positives. It's just atrocious, and I'm not talking about blood and gore, I'm talking about... like... everything. The actors overplay their parts (yeah, I know, they are japanese and stuff), the story is like a deadborn baby (funny to say that as in the film we do have a deadborn baby-ish titan) because on one hand it had the potential to be great but on the other it turned out to be even worse than I expected (and my expectations were low in the first place). There is a lot of nonsense in there, starting with the baby titan above and going all the way through with the new character (Sanagi? That chubby man with an axe) throwing a titan like a spear (yeah, titans are light but I don't think they are THAT light) or the apple scene or Eren getting almost raped by a girl ('Do you want to be my daughter's father?' I was like what the fuck, thank you titans for showing up in time) and many other ridiculous scenes. Why do we love AoT? I mean what got to our hearts in the first place? Of course it was not the story and not the characters (Levi only appeared in the middle of the season), it was damn 3DMG. It was fresh, it looked breathtaking and amusing to watch. And what do we have in the film? Crappy looking maneuvering with characters literally FLYING without momentum or basic laws of physics implied (not that 3DM is possible IRL either but still). Some people say that Eren Titan battle scene looked badass. Kiss my ass, it was awful, I'd be ashamed to do that kung-fu if I were the man in the titan's suit (yeah, the budget was so limited that CGI is EXTREMLY limited). Characters never develop and suck initially. There was too little action. Really, the film starts, in 15 minutes titans break in (no gates, Colossal Titan kicked the WALL into shambles), like 15 to 20 minutes of general military plan exposition and the rest of the remaining hour is - scouting after the cars ran into caws, baby titan, RUN FOR YOUR LIVES sequence, meeting with Shikishima squad, apple scene, be the father scene (with a couple almost having sex in the background), OMG THEY CAME OUT OF NOWHERE sequence, the bitch going crazy and trading humanity's future for a bunch of titans by exploding the explosives, Shikishima being an ass and Eren getting eaten as the result only to comically burst out of the titan 5 minutes later, Eren Titan Scene, FINITA LA COMMEDIA. I don't know what they plan to do with the second film, really. Get the wall barricaded - and that is all? Damn that's hellova shallow script I've got to admit. So yeah. Watch only if you want to laugh. LAUGH HARD despite liters of blood and guts and stuff. Waiting for the second season. Regretting Isayama let this happen. I'd rather wait for Hollywood asking for rights to shoot a film in 5 years or so. Or never shooting one whatsoever.
