movie review - The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Kokubunji, 2021.08.27

This is an animated movie based on the excellent TV series "The Witcher". It lacks the charisma of the TV series and is as self-serious as it is unpleasant. I'll take it further: by tacking on a very thin origin story that - like "Solo, a Star Wars Story" is completely unnecessary - they do the TV series a dis-service and weakens the story and even the world-building.

Not recommended. Strongly. Avoid this unpleasant and unnecessary mess.
