The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf

Honestly I really liked the animation, soundtrack and fight scenes, but thats kinda it. I hated the ending and final plot twist, because it completely rewrites a really important plot point in the Witcher universe. If it was made somewhat well, I would be okay with that, but the way the writers did that was just bad. Story is kinda meh, and Vesemir is fun character, until you remember its Vesemir, so another rewrite. Some people coplain about diversity, honestly I did not care about that. Some parts of the story felt without any pay of. If this was made with a completely unknown witcher and completely different school of witchers, or be a completly different universe it would be 8, but the heavy disrespect to the most important parts of the lore really bumed me out.

Sick action, Great animation, Entertaining, Great Soundtrack, And Interesting Characters but weren't fleshed out enough, in fact it felt like there were big gaps in between the story and the story was not fleshed out nearly as much as it should have been which is why this would have worked a lot better as a series, they pretty much crammed an entire season into one movie, which took away the impact from a lot of the scenes and the story in general. Overall enjoyable and entertaining but could have been better.

I've spent the past two year's now studying, filmmaking, directing, and reading the entire Witcher Series, along with completing the Wild Hunt 3 times over.

This film was pretty damn great; a prequel that answered my questions about the sacking of Kaer Morhen, and the origins of Vesemir. I personally think the film would've made more sense if it was longer, but it was sped along nicely, sometimes a tad too fast. The animation was stellar, with the writing almost perfect. My issues: The voice acting felt a bit monotone-not a deal breaker, but frustrating. It took immersion away a bit.

Tetra's backstory and motivation was answered, but I could've used more info.

Vessemir's true light; hard men are made hard by circumstance-I hope that season 2 of Witcher 3 gives us more of his morally-good side. Kindness is a virtue, even if only ever shown at ones worst moments.

The directing seemed to "direct" this film to readers of the original book series; we forget, not all of us have invested hundreds of ours rummaging through the novels. Some people may be left in the dark to some extent *cough*, "season one of the Witcher Netflix series" All in all, a great prequel that does justice to the Witcher Universe.

Time to get back to reading, Winds Howling.

It's honestly pretty good, but Netflix is rewriting some of the witcher lore and as a long time game and book fan it's just kinda sad.

It's nothing extremely good. But it met my expectations. It doesn't rely too much on the main show but still is enough connected to the lore to have a reason to exist. Vesemir is a great character too. The fight scenes are great. The animation is beautiful. The story is interesting. Overall, it's a great movie Can't wait to see the live action Vesemir in December!
