As a fan of the Witcher franchise it's a disgrace to see where the Netflix adaptations are heading, this included.

It's great to hear Doug Cockle back as Geralt, and I like the voice of Jaskier. That being said the dialogue and overall story lacks the intensity, emotionally intelligent and perky narrative and charm the books and games capture so well.

Even the animation doesn't stand a chance and comes across as bland and boring. In a time where series and movies like "arcane" and "The spider verse" there's a new standard for animation.

This comes across as a bland, and ultimately boring movie altogether.

The performances are absoloutly outstanding, and the use of tempo and visualisation captures the essense of what its like to work at a resturant. The series delves into serious themes like family issues, trauma, suicide and relationships, all while telling a story about the ups and downs of starting a bussines. In my opinion there isn't a modern series that does what the bear does to such degree where you are left at The edge of your seat for every episode. Season 1 and 2 feel so different but so alike that you cant help but wonder what comes next.

Season 3 better follow in its amazing track record in being amazing television and a modern masterpiece.

I recently read the book in anticipation for the adaptation, and came out enjoying the origin story of coriolanus snow, enjoying the twist and turns and getting to know the mindset that drove him to become President Snow from the original trilogy, but all of that seem to be missing in the movie

The performances are quiete fine, instead its the lack of focus in the interesting parts from the book thats missing. We dont see the the intricit thoughts and motivations that drive Mr. Snow to become the character we know.

What we end up with is a Young Adult cliche relationship that feels forced and disconnected from the book, where you were left questioning his motivations and perspective.

The movie misses what made the book so interesting and instead leans toward a main stream Holywood love story.
