Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

KScythe Emotionally scarring and very intense. The 2 previous Berserk movies have to be watched before taking this one on.

blackmamba99971 Like all horror anime's to come out of Japan this one has to be best example of violent gore. Berserk... A tale of companions led by a man named Griffith (AKA Hawk) who leads a band of men of honourable soldiers who ride across many kingdoms proving their worth as fighters for peace. In the middle is Guts. A kind of mercenary wanderer who is then chosen by Hawk after a fierce duel, which no man has ever defeated Griffith in a sword fight only to lose by a near knock out. After which they become close friends who continue to battle endless fights showing their valour to every kingdom they approach only to be betrayed by a ruthless king who promised good fortune and fame.This has led to this point after Griffith was imprisoned in the dungeons to die until Guts, and his team of merry men rescue their leader only to find out he has been disabled in many ways including not being able to walk or speak again. Casca who had been the band's leader in Griffith's absence successfully finds him with Guts who then escape from the castle's bowels. While on route to their new hideout Griffith's despair reaches new heights, and decides to end his own life only to find an ancient talisman called the Behilmut egg. Needing only a few drops of his blood a portal would soon open sucking all of his men inside including Guts, and Casca.This was one of the most ultra violent movies to date only to match another series called Blood C+ in similarity of action, and sword play. Yet this film captured my attention even more when the four horsemen of the Apocalypse suddenly appeared giving Griffith a choice to either sacrifice his own friends for his own gain and dreams or... abstain and release his band of warriors in exchange to be imprisoned for all eternity for his great sins of battle, and needless bloodshed across the continent. I enjoyed the twists, and turns to his subconscious allowing his brutal nature to finally awaken, and then speak only two words... "I sacrifice." Which then led to the most bloody gore fest on the silver screen.The story was fantastic as was the gratuitous violence along with an adult situation between Guts, and Casca. Yet to see Griffith in his newly changed form called Femto (Pestilence, Gravity, Fate) was a treat to behold. A new demon king born out of his own greed, hatred, and malice against the world makes Berserk one of a kind in its own right. This is not for the feint of heart, and no viewer under the age of seventeen should watch this film. Highly recommended to those who love this type of genre. Very graphic, and disturbing.

Ed Li I am a man with lots of feelings, lots of fragile and optimistic feelings. My friend, who fully knew that I am an emotional man and knew the ending of the third act, told me to watch Berserk: the Golden Age. Afterwards, it went something like this.Friend: Hey did you finish the movies?Me:....yesFriend: What did you think?Me:...........................................why?Friend: yea...that is how i felt.Me: Yeah? Were you feeling: HOLY SH*T HOLY SH*T HOLY SH*T HOLY SH*T HOLY SH*T, DID HE REALLY JUST DO THAT?Let's just say that Game of Thrones is the teacup ride in Disneyland, and Berserk is the Kingda Ka in Six Flags. Everything came out of the blue, completely random. FOR NO REASON! Well, I needed some closure and comfort after that "Mind-rape".(that is literally what happens, a character was f*cked so hard, she becomes straight up retarded)So, I began reading the manga, and I can say that my feels were comforted a little afterwards. Berserk: Descent is a movie worthy of that title. It shows us why its called that in the most literal and gruesome way, and although the reasons and motives of this descent is still unclear, it gets the audience asking WHY WHY WHY? Which I am guessing is what the director wanted us to do. I give this a WTF/10. Enjoy.

residentgrigo The Berserk manga is my favorite peace of modern literature, i wear a Behelit around my neck every workday and this review is a response to D. Stockard lenghty 1/5 amazon review which you all should look up as his thought encapsulate mine perfectly but i liked a few more scenes: One would be Griffith's trippy transformation and his short fight against the Skull Knight. Thus i give it a slightly better rating but the movie committed the worst sin of all. Being boring, besides being irritating, which is a given at this point. The animation process again wasn't finished, as always. Movie 2 is the worst btw. from a cinematic standpoint as it was just 3 extended scenes with no context but movie 3 straight out vomit over the last parts of the Eclipse as it glorifies rape. I thus would love to know what Miura thought of this adaptation. Who knows what the studio will do with the rest of the manga but they should just stop. The folks at skullknight forums would love that but this project will at least give me a few nice AMVs and maybe a new Susuma song? Well, one can only dream...
