I really don't know what you mean. Unless there was something in the audio I didn't understand since I don't speak Japanese. All we got was the one picture of him, then we saw the branded corpses in the pit. It seemed more or less consistent with what we saw in the manga.Walter said:Where do you want to begin...?
Ah, I thought you meant for the whole movie... But in that scene , they make Gaiseric's eyes glow in a blatant way to make him similar to Skull Knight. Pretty gross and unnecessary--like a lot of the changes.Heisenberg said:I really don't know what you mean. Unless there was something in the audio I didn't understand since I don't speak Japanese.

Yea I felt like they were tryingt o spoon feed the Skull Knight connection to the audience. More than anything else it pissed me off that they skipped the birth of the demon baby, they could have easily tacked another 10 minutes on to the movie for that.Walter said:Ah, I thought you meant for the whole movie...

He's not in it sadly, we see Erica though. Basically we get nothing from the time Guts is on his own, when he wakes up and see's how damaged Casca is he runs off and the movie ends when he's killing spirits with the Skull Knight's sword. Then after the credits we see him suiting up as the Black Swordsman and walking off into the mist with the Dragonslayer.tama chan said:I don't think I've seen anyone say yet thats watched the film mention Godot. I know we assumed he probably wouldn't be in it judging from the info that we did know about the movie theater release in Japan, but I was just curious if someone who has seen it could elaborate on how they tell the story of Guts training and getting the Dragon slayer and armor with out him.
Heisenberg said:The scene with SK and Zodd is fantastic, although we don't get to see the whole fight. Not that we ever actually get to see them fight in the manga anyway. They always exchange one or two blows, then it cuts to a different panel with Rickert or [size=16pt]Grunbeld remarking on the epic battle we're missing...
What Darkhorse calls the dragon guy, I don't use the Japanese names, not familiar with em all and can't keep track.Deci said:Haven't seen it yet but am really just hoping the Eclipse is done well. Sad to hear Judo's last words are omitted. I'd think the fanservice there would've called for that at least. =/
Also Guts/Casca's love scene not being faithful oddly really really angers, above all else. I'm sure I'll find much more to be upset with but for now that's the big one for me for some reason.
This fuckin' studio, I swear.
Uh... what?
What other stuff? Other Berserk adaptations? Or are you talking about Naruto movies? I'm grading this as a movie about Berserk on its own merit, as a fan of Berserk.Heisenberg said:I think some of you guys are being a little extreme in the hate of the series. Even a complete bastardization of Berserk is better than half of the other stuff our there.
Skull Knight's attack on the Eclipse is good, but not awesome enough so it's bad? C'mon... The animation and action sequences alone here are worth more than 1 star.

Heisenberg said:And is nobody else going to comment on Guts already have the Slan scar on his chest?

I wasn't trying to make the film seem better than it was. I didn't think I skipped over any of the negatives, besides maybe the part where Guts almost stabs Femto, which I really just forgot to mention as I was typing it out. Perhaps I did focus more on the things that I liked rather than the things I didn't, but that's just because I enjoyed the film. I wouldn't put it anywhere near the same level as the manga, but I never expected it to be. I don't think it was a masterpiece, but I wouldn't call it a travesty either. I certainly wasn't trying to put a dishonest spin on my review.Aazealh said:You know, even looking at your own review, you almost only mention dreadfully bad things about the movie, and yet your general outlook is relatively positive. That's where the inconsistency is to me.

If you only watched the first 10 minutes of the movie, rating it isn't very appropriate.Gill said:I didn't plan watching this movie at all, but at the end I looked it up online only to watch the Guts vs. Silat fight, and I'm very disappointed
The thing that bugged me the most was that he tried to fight back even after his turban was cut off. Wtf. I always thought that that was the moment when he decided to leave, because it was humiliating for him. We haven't really seen Baakiraka men exposing their hair, they always either covered their heads or were bald, that's why I always thought that having their turban removed was something that's not supposed to happen...
I gave 3 stars but I feel like I was too generous...
Oh I see, yea I misread what you were saying.Aazealh said:I think you misread what I wrote. I meant that your review actually mentioned a lot of bad things, things that would totally break the movie for me, but that in spite of all those bad points your final take on it seems, to me, surprisingly forgiving.
