Walter said:I see two relatively positive reviews, but 2 votes for excellent, and 4 votes for good. Where are the other reviews supporting these positions?
I am one of the two people who voted excellent, however in saying that; I am completely aware of all of the flaws that this movie has, both technically and accuracy wise. I am just as disappointed with the cuts and minor changes that they made, (especially the Bonfire of Dreams scene) however I watched this film for what it was and I loved every second of it.JezzaX said:I agree, I'm interested to hear those views. I'm actually somewhat envious of those who classify the film as excellent and can't see or don't care about the flaws.
Why do people keep saying this? It doesn't make any sense. You are aware of what it is/was (a subpar mediocre below average adaptation), but you love it anyways? No se.Jackolyn said:however I watched this film for what it was and I loved every second of it.

Jackolyn said:Yes, they changed a few things, but I believe that those changes add to the cinematic quality of the film. [...] No, its not EXACTLY like the manga, but this is not a manga; this is a movie adaption, and so changes to the fight sequences and the removal of certain scenes did not take away from the film as a whole, nor did it dampen the impact of the story line within this particular segment of the arc.

Aazealh said:Beyond that, when they traveled to Midland they were on a mission to find the "Falcon of Darkness" from the prophecy, so being at a ball to celebrate the victory of Midland in a war between two nations that were both under the influence of the Holy See is incongruous to say the least.
TelegramSam said:I really hate to say this, but I'm now at the point where I think that any chance of a good Berserk anime is squashed. I'd be curious to know if anyone has a good idea of how this film is doing financially (although with piracy now, who knows what's a good number anyway). There are just too many damned inconsistencies due to time constrictions and pointless ones like the ballroom scene for me to enjoy it. I think that looking backward, I would have rather they made some one shot (one film) stories set during the Black Swordsman arc a la the Dreamcast game, or just simply animated the Black Swordsman arc. Oh well, I'll still buy the releases if only to support the series, but it's just a bummer all around.

It was meant as jk ..yeah Azan,will try to remember that ..just saw Hobbit today so all Short,beardy guys associates with dwarfs ..Rhombaad said:Are you talking about Azan? If so, he's not a dwarf; he's human.
Heres where I really disagree.Jackolyn said:...nor did it dampen the impact of the story line within this particular segment of the arc.
Wow... I remeber I kinda had the same thoughts but I guess I repressed them or something, like my mind´s defense mechanism in order not to receive trauma... It did now thoughAazealh said:As for Puck, why is he in a cage (from which he could escape just by squeezing through the bars) exactly? He was travelling with those guys of his own free will...

I was going to adress this but forgot to somehow. Anyway this is one of the parts I really think they handled well and creatively considering they cut so much else. Im not saying I prefer it like this but wouldnt´ve mind if they´d still stick with it even if they´d included the Bonfire/Judeau/Elf dust etc... Still, of course its so obvious for us old fans what a desperate attempt at giving Griffith screen time this really isApostleBob said:Also a big change with the rescue: Griffith is a part of it.
When things are on track, it's pretty much line for line exactly like in the manga. However, sometimes they conflate different scenes or simply generate new content to suit the new scene.IncantatioN said:Is the dialog between characters far off from what's in the manga? (For instance, Griffith or Guts saying something completely else on screen than what's said in that same scene in the manga).
