There are some scenes that can be count as genuinely awesome, specifically the climax, even though it now seems to be quite senseless since they're taking this story to a different direction. It may not be perfect or spectacular, but it's impressive enough to take these exciting moments into live action.
To its credit, the visuals are pretty cool. In the end, they're clearly just uninteresting. They might as well exist in some YA where they're designed to be hormonally appealing. The plot is ought to be followed through these characters, but most of them are single noted. But in this movie, they're just verbally expressing their fears, sentiments and humor. And that sounds more reasonable since this circumstance would really affect one's senses into insanity or paranoia. It may not be the friendliest role model you'll see from a hero, but it rather makes him more relatable.

What makes this character originally interesting is the fact that he is a traumatized kid who is too full of himself, which eventually crosses the line of his humanity and morality. It's not necessarily horrible since they're still represented as unlikely heroes, but Eren's arc is basically just trying to win back his girl and living up to that image, it makes him look lousier. I personally don't mind changes from its source material the protagonist, Eren, is basically now a slacker who is tired of living behind the colossal walls from the titans, instead of an aggressive kid with some sociopathic tendencies who vows for revenge. The difference is it's not quite compelling. Like every piece of exposition is immediately crammed into that one long scene that is supposed to establish who they are and what their world is. How the main characters are introduced is painfully contrived. Newcomers might find its premise intriguing, but what makes Attack on Titan interesting is hardly existent in this adaptation. While it still wonderfully realizes the most grotesque moments of its source material, the characters are watered down with less interesting plights. But the movie's approach is rather standard in comparison. It's clearly destined to be a movie, it might as well fit in today's blockbuster trend of post-apocalyptic settings and revolution ordeals. Attack on Titan is recently one of the most popular manga/anime in a while, it wasn't nearly as rich as some of the greatest ones out there, however the material tackles a rather mature subtext, otherwise a really fascinating showcase of macabre in a larger scale.
