For me that is not really a die hard fans of the series,I thought the movie is quite decent. It is not that bad actually if you come with your memory loss of any anime plots trace and just enjoy the movie as it is. For me though, the lack part is that the movie looks like it has rushed too much (only 1 hour and half). I mean no decent training part?come on. Moreover,something that bothers is that most of the army squad members seem untrained aka normal people without proper training that are just kicked outside the world to try their luck. Actors wise, I personally like Armin and the girl in spectacles the best. Eren,not so much. Mikasa? Not that entranced. I still hope and hope that nothing will happen between them. They are better off as best friend. Like Harry Potter and Hermione? Ya know? I look forward to the part 2 to conclude this movie. The ending of part 1 is quite bad though, like it does not really give deep impression. But oh well, NEXT!
