The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf (2021)
Some ups but mostly downs
I had so much hope for this after seeing that the Witcher show was decent enough for a Netflix adaptation but oh boy how I was let down. I'll make a list of what I did not like because it's easier to follow -
1. The song at the very beginning sounds like it was written in some alien language and then translated with Google translate
(I don't really mind the Afro-American family, there are far greater sins in the movie)
2. PLEASE STOP USING 3D ANIMATION like this in an otherwise beautifully animated movie (this happened in the dota2 movie too with the dragons). I am really bothered by this because it's Netflix so you know they have the money to pay an artist to animate the big monsters but they still go with the lazy approach and do some shitty 3d model of a wyvern (or what that monster was called), fighting with the 2d characters.
3. They really broke the cannon Witcherverse with some things
3a. Witchers Can't cry
3b. Witchers need fingers to cast signs
3c. Kaer Morhen WAS ATTACKED BY BRAINWASHED PEASANTS, not by some farmers who are afraid of monsters but then forget all about them and decide to charge side by side with a legion of - you guessed it - FREAKING MONSTERS SPAWNED FROM A MAGICAL PORTAL. It makes no freaking sense..
If it wasn't the Witcher universe involved maybe I would give it a 7.5 but in that case I wouldn't have bothered watching it in the first place.
