Attack on Titan live action review

Why do they feel the need to change so much of the interpretation, story and characters? Fans want to see the movie because they want to see the anime and manga come to life in it's own element......NOT a different interpretation.

1. Like it's supposed to be set in a historical world where they ride horses etc, but NO they made it set in a post apocalypse world of a modern time, so they rode jeeps.

2. Then they completely changed Eren's motive. NO he didn't swear revenge because his mother got killed...there is no mother because she died years ago. They had to make Mikasa have some sort of romantic thing to Eren, which is pretty unnecessary.

3. Pairings!!! Why in the world do they need to make it like all the characters are paired with one another? Like Armin with Sasha? Then they got Eren to touch a girl's etc. Is it a live action thing? I was pretty confused when they gave Light a girlfriend in Deathnote as well when he does not have one in the manga/anime. And they even have to have a couple have before the titans attack........like wtf?

4. Well, the non-existence of Levi in this is almost like 'let's take out some of the English name characters and replace them with Japanese ones' . Like WHY oh WHY would you exclude the most popular character in the series???? They took Levi out and replaced him with some e captain. Like if you can keep characters with names like Eren, Armin or Sasha around.....why can't you keep Levi????

5. Overall the story telling and plot is completely poor. The acting is really bad too. The only redeeming factor are the graphics and fight scenes. If this is the kind of live action they will give, I rather they just work on season 2 of the anime and give this manga for Hollywood to adapt. I feel an international cast will do this more justice considering the ethnicity of most of the characters. )

 

My rating:  4/10

I haven't even seen the movie yet but when I found out they changed Eren's motive...why? Okay I get the movie's aren't always going to be the same, but that's the WHOLE POINT of the series! Eren is NOT afraid of Titans period.

The pairings don't sound too bothersome...just random. I don't get why directors are so focused on love interests though either especially if it's not a romantic series. *Is a hypocrite though technically because I have some 'romance' in a fic of mine X'3* but anywho.

And oh my gosh...taking out Levi, ERWIN, YMIR, Christa, Bertoldt, Reiner?! They're major characters! They have a purpose in the series come on now people. And Annie to!

*sighs*

Oh well it can't be helped in the end I guess ^^; You know how some directors are after all. I'll still probably see this film version...but I have a gut feeling it's going to be like Dragonball Evolution all over again.

Anywho: Excuse my comment XD Just a somewhat new AOT fan who was also a little peeved by the changes -_-
