Watched it recently and for me it's on the level of the first film; more or less a disappointment. I feel like if someone who wasn't aware of Berserk came into these films without prior knowledge, they wouldn't care for it that much. I'm also surprised at how long they extended the ball scene, yet cut out the bonfire of dreams sequence or even the scene where Guts talks with Judo and Carcus at the bar prior to leaving. I always thought that conversation held some important dialogue, and in the movie he ends up leaving without really talking to anyone. Also I really hate the slow motion effects they use for the past memories. I admit the flashback with a younger Casca was better then the Gambino one, but is it really necessary to film it this way, or does it just save them money? Anyway I'm not holding my breath for the third movie, but I will hope for the best.
