^ These numbers were taken at the start of the first showtime (the 7:00 CST IMAX showing shown above, the XD showing was a half hour later) so probably not too far off from the actual final total. I work late afternoon to evening shifts so I couldn't post this until now. Hoping to use this as a comp for future early access shows.

It's been nearly a year and a half since I've done any tracking, but since the summer movie season is about to kick off, I figured I'd get back into it for old-time's sake. I only used to do Wednesday night outlooks for my Davenport Cinemark theater, which I no longer go to since I don't live in Iowa anymore – though I do go on occasion whenever I visit that area.
Since it has been so long, though, I'm throwing out pretty much all of my old comps and starting from scratch. This time around, I'm expanding to four nights a week (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday (for Friday only)) + Thursday noon-ish for previews. I don't imagine I'll be able to hit all those dates consistently for every upcoming film, and I might skip some that I just plain don't feel like covering, but I will try my damnedest to do all of the big stuff!

Updated. Every film from this year now has 3 (or more) reviews, which is the threshold to create an average score. The main post will continue to be updated as more scores come in.

A day later than I promised, but here's my response*.
*Full disclosure: this will be a slightly abridged version of what I had originally written on Friday before it got eaten by the forums crashing on me. Instead of typing it all out again, I’ll only stick to the stuff that directly correlates to the review and save the rest for my retrospective series on my filmography in my review thread.
[Spoilers ahead, for those who haven’t read Berserk yet]
SpoilerBefore I go on, I want to, again, thank you for the review, which I know must’ve taken you a while to write out. Regardless of how you feel about the film overall, I greatly appreciate how in-depth you went on certain aspects you found interesting – positive, negative, or anywhere between.
In particular, I greatly enjoyed your analysis of Zack Snyder and his films. I feel like you perfectly highlighted the things I find fascinating about him and his work – especially his interest in depicting his characters as mythological figures – and I enjoyed the way you applied that to Berserk in the review. He’s never been one of my favorite filmmakers, but as often as I find myself frustrated with his work, I still have great admiration and respect for the dude. He’s one of the very few bid-budget filmmakers who has a unique voice and visual style that makes him an instant stand-out from the rest of his industry peers.
I knew going into writing this film that choosing him as the director to helm would bring a certain level of baggage and expectation with it that I was a tiny bit afraid would tamper people’s views on it. However, after completing it, I have to say that I’m very proud that I stuck with him all the way through. It was an earnest attempt on my part to give a director whom I respect a good deal but who I feel has yet to make a truly great film (IMO, the Snyder Cut of Justice League comes oh so close to reaching that but falls short with that unnecessary epilogue) a chance to make something with a relatively solid narrative foundation to build off that could perfectly compliment his style and sensibilities so that both could, in the process, elevate each other. I’m… still not sure how well I did on that front, but given the mostly positive response from everyone so far, I feel I can at least say I did an okay job.
Now onto one of the main criticisms that you put forth in your review: the murders of Julius/Adonis and the seeming lack of acknowledgment or consequences that follow it. Honestly, even though I have an explanation for it, which I’ll get to in a bit, I do fully and completely get it. It’s most definitely the result of, as you put it, the “serialized” feel of the narrative, but also probably the effect of me cutting out a certain subplot from the manga.
So basically, after Julius’ assassination, the Queen of Midland, Charlotte’s stepmother, who we find out was having an affair with Julius behind the King’s back, conspires with a bunch of nobles to off Griffith by poisoning him with a spiked drink at the banquet ceremony (which mostly plays out the same as you see in the film). The plan appears to succeed when Griffith falls to the floor, seemingly dead, creating panic and unrest, especially with Casca and the Hawks, but it turns out to be a ruse since both he and Guts knew the Queen’s plan all along thanks to an insider that Griffith blackmailed earlier in the arc. Long story short, the Queen and her conspirators are locked inside a burning tower while Griffith watches on, eliminating one more set of people to secure his path to the throne. As you could probably guess, I cut this whole section out as it basically would’ve been the equivalent of Peter Jackson keeping the Scouring of the Shire in The Return of the King. Sure, it would’ve faithfully adapted the section from the source material, but it’d come at the cost of lengthening an already long epilogue to an already long film. Even before I began writing, it was one of the most obvious cuts I knew I had to make going in to keep the film relatively streamlined.
But going back to Adonis, in particular, I’ll admit I probably could’ve done a better job conveying how that murder affected Guts afterward but I do think it does weaves the way to the biggest consequence of the story at the very end – Guts’ decision to leave the Hawks.
The royal party scene where Guts overhears Griffith’s conversation with Charlotte at the fountain is the film’s major turning point, especially the part where Griffith says that he doesn’t consider those who don’t aspire to their dreams his friends or “equals”, as he puts it. It’s crushing to Guts, because up to that point, he’s devoted his last few years to fighting under Griffith and his dream, arguably becoming his most trusted ally on the battlefield and also the one person off the battlefield whom he feels he can be open with. All of this comes to a head with him murdering the King’s brother and his son in cold blood under Griffith’s command. All of that: helping Griffith get two steps closer to the throne by killing his main rival and accidentally eliminating his son, the main heir betrothed to the princess, too; nearly dying killing every royal guard who catches a glimpse of his face; almost drowning in the sewers, where he has a nightmarish vision of Zodd murdering his younger self, showing his adult face imposed onto the beast’s, visualizing how he has become like a monster, just like the one who took away his innocence when he was a kid.
All of that pain and effort, all that unearthed trauma. All of that… just for Guts to hear the one person who ordered him to carry it out, the one person he most respected and admired, the one person he considered his closest friend… inadvertently deny all of that directly to his face.
From that point on, there’s an obvious shift in the way Guts views Griffith, especially after everything Casca divulges about him, and even moreso after their conversation during the bonfire of dreams sequence. There are still moments where the two are shown being close to one another, but equally so, you also visually see Guts viewing Griffith from a distance: riding out on horseback at the start of the new war campaign, with Casca on top of the Doldrey walls after the battle, at the banquet celebration where they smile at each other across the room (Griffth inside and Guts outside behind glass doors on the balcony). Their relationship is strained, even if neither one verbally acknowledges it. And it’s through all of this that Guts realizes that all this time living and fighting within a giant group, who all have individual dreams themselves and come together to fuel one man’s dream, he’s never once considered what his own dream might be, other than surviving day-to-day with his sword in hand, because, in the unforgiving world he lives in, it's an absolute necessity. That maybe, just maybe, there’s something he can aspire to achieve on his own, out from under the dream of another. That maybe, one day, the man he considered his best friend could look at him and consider him his equal.
All of that’s to say, I feel that Adonis’ death does affect everything that follows in a major way… just not in a manner that’s ever verbally acknowledged past the Intermission point. To be fair, everything that follows afterward in the manga doesn’t dwell on it too much either, except maybe for the cut subplot I mentioned earlier (but that only really briefly touches on the Queen’s relationship with Julius without really acknowledging Adonis so… not entirely). And I will also say that, in regards to potential future sequels, Guts’ relationship with kid characters plays an important part, both for his character and the overarching story. I'll be curious to see what you and the others think of those elements when we get there.
I do understand, though, how that pivotal moment could get overlooked in such a long film with so much already going on in it and a narrative with a lot on its mind. I don’t imagine my explanation here will change your mind about it (or anyone else’s for that matter). Still, since you brought it up in the review, I felt compelled to add some necessary context to help connect the pieces of the overall story that weren’t quite clicking for you. I hope this explanation helped somewhat.
Other minor points in your review that I wanted to touch on:
- Boscogn as the main villain was one of the major completely original additions I made for the film. His character is greatly expanded from his manga counter-point, whose only real purpose was to be the big boss Guts to fight during the Battle of Doldrey. Hell, he only shows up for the first time in that scene where he demotes Adon in humiliating fashion, lol. Everything with him being a figure from Guts’ past, not only as Gambino’s right-hand man but also as Donovan’s brother, was all to give the film an overarching antagonist that connected the past and present timelines, and also to give the Battle of Doldrey far more emotional stakes; not to say that there wasn’t any in that section of the manga, but for a film adaptation, I felt it was necessary to heighten those emotions in a way that would be narratively satisfying. In the manga, Casca and Griffith still got to confront the main figures from their past – Adon and Gennon – that gave them grief and trouble, but Guts fighting Boscogn was just another challenging obstacle for him to overcome and not much else. So yeah, that was kind of my thought process behind that change and the villains overall. I imagine the main complaint about the lack of a strong central antagonist probably stems from me not going quite as far with Boscogn’s character as I probably could’ve, but I do hope this long explanation gives some insight into my creative decisions behind all that.
- I completely get the comment about the minor cast members, though, in my defense, it’s not like Snyder hasn’t included cameo roles from actors he’s collaborated with before in his following films. Many of my casting choices were informed by my putting myself in his shoes and imagining who he’d put in the role. Funny you brought up Paul Mescal, though. I cast him sometime after watching Aftersun, but also right before he was nominated for the Oscar, and I completely forgot about that fact until long after I submitted the film. Oh well, lol. Overall I don’t think it’s that big a deal, since there are already quite a few character actors and a few veteran voice actors (two of whom played characters in previous Berserk media) in the cast, but, again, I do get the sentiment of wishing for strictly smaller character actors for bit parts in films like these. I'll keep that in mind for the future.
- Regarding the stylistic influences, the main reason that section is there is to give a little more of an idea of what the film would resemble beyond the generic stylized hybrid animation descriptor. Aside from the 97 anime, which goes without saying, the rest of them are all directly sourced from eras and specific films that Miura himself cited as ones that influenced him when making the manga. I do concede that if I had the chance to go back and re-edit the post, I’d probably cut out the Kurosawa bit, but I’d still keep the others since I think they provide a good picture of how the film would look, feel, and flow. I think for the next film, I’ll add some more expanded descriptions to them to give a better idea of what exactly they’re pulling from those sources. I know most animated films in this game provide detailed descriptions of their respective styles as well, and this was my attempt at that. Clearly, I could’ve done a better job at conveying it, though, and that’s my bad.
And that’s probably about it for all the major points I wanted to respond to. Again, I don’t think any of the explanations that I gave here will change your mind on anything. This was more just a chance for me to respond to some of the comments that stood out to me in your review and explain my rationale behind some of the creative decisions that I made when writing the film. I appreciate the detailed feedback you gave here. It warms my heart to see that something I wrote stirred such a passionate response from someone else in the game, and I greatly look forward to seeing what you think of my other films from this year. 🙂

I'm very frustrated at the moment because I spent two hours writing out a response to some of the points in the review only for it all to get accidentally deleted by the forum briefly crashing on me 🫠. I'll try writing it out again (on Google Docs first this time lol) on Sunday after my extended family leaves, but for the time being, thank you so much for the very long and detailed review. Regardless of how you've felt about my films over the years, I've always appreciated your engaging, insightful, and often very entertaining analyses of my work and others as well.

Gonna give it another week or so until sometime after Easter before I dive into the requested films for the retrospective series. For everyone who hasn't already requested three films from before Y10 (1 by you and 1 from 2 other users) for me to review, you'll have until... let's say the Monday after Easter Sunday to get them in. As a reminder, please consult the ongoing list on the main post before submitting your requests.

(I know not everyone I tagged here will probably respond, but I figured I might as well on the slim off-chance any of you do see this as I do want to get as wide a variety of selections as possible.)

Hey! Just wanted to check in and see if you're still planning to do more reviews for this year—no rush, of course.

I'll take a gander at Tintin and the MacFarlane musical.

The points system is based on Metacritic’s grading system: http://www.metacritic.com/about-metascores
On a five-star scale, each star represents twenty points. The average, based on the accumulated points divided by the number of reviews, is on a scale of 1-100.
More than 60 points indicates a POSITIVE consensus, with 81+ meaning the film has received universal acclaim. Between 40 and 60 points indicates a MIXED consensus. If a film receives a three-star out of five review, it will count as mixed since it is worth 60 points. Lower than 40 points indicates a NEGATIVE consensus, with 19 or lower meaning the film has received universal disdain.
As a bonus, a film with only two or fewer mixed or negative reviews (and at least four positive reviews) will receive a CERTIFIED FRESH marker. For convenience, I’ll include all aggregate scores in this post.
Aggregate scores are not final until all reviewers have given their ratings. The first post will be updated with each new batch of reviews and grades.
