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.
