WTF??!? Are they deliberately trying to piss us off? What possible reason could they have for Zodd not throwing his sword? God dammit.
Tabegoro said:No, they did not show the Griffith/Gennon flashback, so the viewer had to guess a little about their relationship before Griffith killed him.
How? The fact that there were characters moving around on screen?The movie had very little character development or character interaction in my opinion. I still enjoyed it though.
Of course...Zodd never threw his sword. . . why did they cut this? Guts just cuts through the guy after a pretty cool battle like he did with everyone else for the first hour of the movie.
As we surmised. So that means no burning of the queen and other nobles. Nothing that shows Griffith's darker side, other than moody stares.The court intrigue thing apparently ended with Julius. That was a little disappointing.
Does Guts explain his reasons for leaving to Judo and Carcus? No scene at the bar where Judo tries to talk him out of leaving?The movie starts off with the fight with Adon, then goes to another fight with Gennon, and then ...
Wait, that doesn't make any sense. What about the Griffith and Charlotte seduction scene? Is Griffith shown being imprisoned and whipped/tortured, like in the trailers? The beherit never falls through the grate?ends with Guts leaving the band and not saying those famous last words.
I'd rather have nothing.But hey, it's better than nothing.
Tabegoro said:It was basically a movie with two long battle fights. . . and that's about it.

I would hold off until the 3rd film hits theaters at least.Griffith said:Sounds like it's actually much worse than the first one somehow. Should we just shut down this whole section or something?

Roderick said:I'm most worried about the 3rd movie. They have a lot of bases to cover with the Guts/Casca/Hawks reunion, Skullknight, Silat, Griffith rescue, assassins, Wyald, pre-Eclipse set up, the Eclipse, the rescue, Godo's hut scenes, and Black Swordsman arc buildup. There is no way they are going to keep all of those elements in there at the rate they've been going, and that is most disappointing since much of that was not adapted in the TV series. They'd better extend the film's length to cap off the trilogy properly, but it's almost certainly going to be another short 75 minute run-time.
hellrasinbrasin said:With how retarded this production has been I wouldn't be surprised if they have Zodd throw Guts a sword during the Eclipse.
How can viewers know that Gennon is an old pedo?Tabegoro said:Movie Spoilers!

I know it's been said before, but at best these seem catered towards a subset of existing fans of the series who will feel fortunate enough to see characters moving around on screen, integrity of the source material be damned. Griffith (the admin) said it best last year when he commentedthat it was studio 4C who should be the ones feeling fortunate. Fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to adapt a work like Berserk.
For others in the world still uninitiated to Berserk, I feel that these movies are more likely to hurt Berserk's reputation overall.
Imagine they made a berserk game (rpg) that was 100% true to the manga. I'm getting the impression that if you took all the animated cutscenes from that game and compiled them into a cutscene montage you might get something similar to the movies we have now.
Walter said:At this point, I don't think it's too hard to predict how movie 3 is going to go:
-Opens with Guts encountering the Skull Knight by campfire
-Cut to Hawks on the run, Guts saves them
-Guts and Casca make love
-They dig a hole in the ground and find Griffith's cell a few feet down, drag him out
-Guts kills 50 nameless/faceless guards on the way out, in a scene lasting 10 minutes
-Eclipse
-30 second clip of Guts armoring up and setting out to hunt down Femto
-The End.
Well, the biggest travesty to me for the Eclipse will be that the sacrifice itself will hardly be meaningful at all, given that most of the significant character interactions have been stripped out or condensed. Pippin? Who?JoeZeon said:But the worst is that none of it will have any meaning or punch what so ever.

hellrasinbrasin said:With the way that 10 volumes of material has been condensed into 3 films each with 60 minutes of perfunctory scene showing I don't expect we'll see the other arcs being shown or done differently at all. I can't even imagine how much of a slaughter fest The Black Swordsman , The Retribution , and Millennium Falcon arc(s) would manifest as if Studio4°C is allowed to continue forward with the rest of the story.

One of the few upsides to these is that there is no actual censorship like the TV series had to do.
