User Reviews:

Berserk manga by Kentaro Miura is one of the best saga I have ever seen, great script, great dialogues, great characters and all what mankind have to offer : from best to worst. But Berserk manga is actually very dark, very harsh, violent, and humanity got an ugly side, a real ugly one. This movie does a great job to introduce the Golden Age Arc. Unfortunately you don't have the Gut's childhood but instead just a flashback (showing his rape, his escape *do not worry since you should know this to understand his character when you began this movie and his reactions*). Griffith is the other main character, an angel face, a smart warrior, but a master puppet, who will shattered everyone who are against him... The Devil, God, "they are the same" from his own word. We know at the beginning of the manga that Griffith is actually a God Hand, and Guts... worst nemesis.
