First let me say, I'm a huge fan of Shingeki no Kyojin (aka Attack on Titan - or as I like to more accurately call it "Attack of the Titans", probably because the American title doesn't make much sense in my eyes). A really popular modern gory manga about giant humanoid monsters eating humans, forcing mankind to live behind giant walls.
As a fan of the original manga, which I keep up to this day, I admit I have never watched the anime outside checking out the opening credits and a couple of scenes, so you know where I came from. But I did read some of the spinoff manga series!
As soon as this live action film was announced we knew there would be plenty of changes from the original manga/anime, so let's review these films as standalone products that can stand on their own. Let's review these films strictly from the perspective of a movie, trying to stay objective for the most part.
