BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
KScythe Emotionally scarring and very intense. The 2 previous Berserk movies have to be watched before taking this one on.
tenshi_ippikiookami After the first two good movies of this trilogy, this last one,"The Advent", is a disappointment.The story continues after the events that ended the previous one. Guts is back, and he gets back with Casca and the others. Pretty soon there is a rescue mission to get Griffith back and out of the dungeon where he is languishing.What follows is a mess that lasts for over an hour.What could have been a cool rescue mission or some nice fight scenes (as in the previous two), here descends into purposeless carnage, with gore, blood and monsters just making their appearance for not particular reason, and characters that had been developed in the previous two movies left as little more than just caricatures of themselves. We are not getting into this kind of action movies for their plot, but at least a little bit of interest in developing it and the characters is expected. And the action does not help in this case, because, as said, it is boring, repetitive and lazy.Fans may enjoy reuniting with the characters, but there is little else to recommend.
Reno Rangan The third installment of 'Berserk: The Golden Age Arc' movie series which was based on the manga series. As expected the movie didn't disappoint me but still first two are the epic compared to it. Yes first two were war genre, fully gore, awesome movies and this third one was slightly turned out fantasy-horror. After where it ended in second part I thought the revenge will commence in its follow-up story but it surprised me and took us on the different path.This story follows after a year since Guts and Griffith parted. Some of the escaped Hawk bands prepare for the rescue mission in the Casca's stand-in command to bring back their leader. Soon, Guts join them, the rescue team becomes much stronger. Not wasting much time the mission commence and what comes next is the unexpected twist and theme transformation. The dark world unleashes, without a mercy it assault the heroes and leaves the unforgettable scars. The best part of all these three movies were the way the movie ended. It leaves something broad open which makes us to guess what will happen next like a mind twister.Yeah I know most of the people like Guts and it is my favourite character as well. In this part The Griffith character was weakened but we knew it coming. As he was a mysterious character from the very first movie especially with his 'golden egg' I knew there must be some story behind it. This movie did not explain that portions very well, maybe we can expect that in the next part, I hope so. And Casca was as usual supported very well.The sex scenes were stronger like in 'The Battle for Doldrey', so the movie is not suitable for everyone. Those who like sword-war theme and Anime especially gore will enjoy it. If you have not seen first two, begin with those, you will love this trilogy for sure. Now I am eagerly waiting for its fourth. Highly recommended for adults.8/10
chineduhduru I hate this part 3 of this movie... First of all I loved the part 1 and 2. The fight moves were great. The plots were wonderful. It held so much promise for Guts and Casca; I knew from the start that they would be lovers. And they ended up so in part 3. Yet there was a lurking feeling of an upcoming dark moment that u sense in part 1 and 2; that things could go wrong. But i never expected that the dark moment was darker than I imagined, seen at the end of part 3. it pains me very much; the violence, the agony, hate,... I was emotionally disturbed... creepy and nauseating. In the End: Grifith became bad, Casca goes mad and Guts loses not only his right arm but Casca, the woman he loves ... this movie should be tagged "Tragedy"!!!
