The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf

Disclaimer- have read the books and played the games

As a stand-alone film,it's actually pretty decent,which I was not expecting. Animation looks pretty decent although a bit inconsistent in some places and the soundtrack added to the experience rather than subtracted from it. I found the pacing to be a bit rushed and I feel that the movie could have definitely used some extra runtime,but the story was enjoyable and I found myself liking Vesimir,but it's nothing spectacular.

However,the script needlessly changed events from the Witcher universe and It messed with the timeline a bit too much in my humble opinion. My biggest gripe is with the powers of the Witcher themselves as they (and especially their signs) are waaay too OP. And I felt as if the derive of Kaer Morhan was needlessly of the top. I could go on for a good while nitpicking all of the seemingly unnecessary changes. But alas,it doesn't matter too much and the movie is still enjoyable in my opinion.

A bit rushed and over the top but enjoyable. Nice visuals and animations. Great soundtrack.

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!

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.

New monsters are rising in the woods after Witchers had mostly cleared them. Vesemir is a Witcher for hire. Accusation arises that Witchers are the ones creating the monsters as a scheme to rebuild their work for hire.

This is an animated prequel expansion of the world of The Witcher series. It's a good story. The characters are compelling. The old school animation is alright. The Korean studio does a lot of American TV work and it has a good handle on it. This is well made.
