Ce long-métrage d’animation est nettement mieux que la série, laquelle n’était qu’un nid d’impostures et un flot de conneries ininterrompues qui faisaient injure à la franchise si renommée (des jeux de CDPR et des livres de Sapkowski).

CeCe long-métrage d’animation est nettement mieux que la série, laquelle n’était qu’un nid d’impostures et un flot de conneries ininterrompues qui faisaient injure à la franchise si renommée (des jeux de CDPR et des livres de Sapkowski).

Ce ‘Cauchemar du Loup’ s’intéresse ici à l’histoire de Vesemir, le fameux mentor de Géralt, ainsi qu’à la chute de Kaer Mohren, le haut-lieu des Sorceleurs… Le personnage de Vesemir est dans l’ensemble assez bien développé, notamment son cynisme, ses contradictions et ses regrets, de même que celles de la sorcière antagoniste…

Le rythme ne faiblit pas et l’on ne voit pas le temps passer… cependant, si le récit est dense, il s’avère également un brin fouillis, pour ne pas dire désordonné : la narration reste trop souvent confuse, à force de s’éparpiller en rebondissements plus ou moins improbables. La violence et une certaine cruauté propres à cet univers sont en tout cas respectées, ce qui rassure sensiblement…

Mais à l’instar de la série, on déplore la ‘woke attitude’ de notre (triste) époque appliquée à un monde totalement incompatible ! notamment, ce côté SJW à la petite semaine et cette justice inclusive socialo-progressiste à deux dollars que l’on retrouve si fréquemment dans les productions Netflix : l’un des sorceleurs est une tante et de nombreux gens de couleur officient comme si de rien n’était dans le folklore d’héroic fantasy slave si riche du Sorceleur ! (c’est une saga d’origine polonaise au cas où vous ne le sauriez pas…).

Du côté de l’animation (sous-traitée en Corée du Sud), ce n’est pas si mal pour de la simple 2D (hélas !) sauf vers la fin où l’animation proprement dite marque sévèrement le pas : elle est tout-à-coup salopée dans ce grand final et par ailleurs, le montage devient également beaucoup trop hâché (menu). Finalement, le bilan reste très mitigé entre une impression générale de confusion, une fidélité à l’univers un peu tiède et des enjeux mal expliqués et/ou un peu trop escamotés.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Well, in fact, it turned out to be another Castelvania, according to the plot, according to the drawing. It won't change anything if you replace the witchers with Alucard and his gang.
There's nothing of the witcher in this story, but that's half the problem. There is no LOGIC in this story. Spoilers. A test in the swamp, when the witchers throw the recruits to certain death. Indigenous Afro-Kadwen people. Full-fledged magic is used by witchers instead of the signs aard and igni. At the same time, there is no hint of Quen, Irden and Axii. The sorceress, paired with a mutant elf, directs the monsters to storm Kaer-Morhen, the peasants storm the same Kaer-Morhen side by side with the monsters. What does all this mean? Lambert is the same age as Eskel and Geralt. Witchers who breed monsters so that they have someone to kill. The fact that after a long time, when Vesemir has time to grow old, the monsters will still not be destroyed, although no witchers will breed them anymore, does not bother anyone.
Not a hint of the Conjugation of the Spheres, as if it did not exist. That story with the priest, because of which everything started spinning, is also a brain drain. Vesemir bribed the cook to poison the priest, so that the priest thought that he had been defiled, and hired a witcher to kill the sorceress... The damn plan is simple. Reliable as a Swiss watch, if I understood everything correctly.… Expand

We didn’t need this. The movie has some good elements, like the drawing and an ok ending. However, the plot is extremely shallow and the overall story just feels like bad fanfiction that just doesn’t fit the style of anything Witcher before it.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. You can forget everything that was in the books, now the witcher would use signs without drawing them figuratively in the air, nonsense, this anime completely kills the canon, especially kaef when even here the witcher could not make cat's eyes..... I, who read all the books, passed from 1 witcher to 3, I renounce what netflix does, Oh, yes, Witchers cannot show ardent emotions, for example, cry because of mutations, but apparently netflix decided differently) Oh, yes, I don't see Berengar either, well, I put 1 point for a more or less plot and 1 more point for a beautiful drawing)… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I Can say I'm not a huge fan of witcher. personally i just recently have gotten into it. since Ive played witcher 3,and watched the Netflix show. But I can even see that they are trying to cash in on the castlevania series. With the over the top fighting, and with a weak story I found myself wanting to turn it off half way threw. even in vesemirs flashbacks, talks about swindling people from their money, but then hes shocked that they create monsters to continue there life style??????? If anything vesemir would most likely be ok with it. Here you have a man who's driven by coin and then all of sudden he grows a heart. I mean what did he think was gonna happen if all the monsters were killed? it would have made more sense to have had the witch be the one truly making the monsters, and pin it on the witchers. in the end i did enjoy some of the story, the animation was good, and monsters were interesting. But not good enough to get a second look over.… Expand

Hay brujos y magos, todos estos alterándose y sacrificando algo de ellos mismos para poder ser un pocoThe witcher es un mundo de fantasía con un toque de realidad. Las personas sangran, mueren y resisten lo que una persona normal resistiría. Hay brujos y magos, todos estos alterándose y sacrificando algo de ellos mismos para poder ser un poco más fuertes.

Los brujos no pegan saltos de 20 metros mientras pelean, tampoco hacen nukes con sus manos, si un brujo le arrancan o le hacen daño, lo sufre como una persona normal (puede aguantar más, gracias a sus mutaciones o pociones) pero al fin y al cabo pueden caerse de un 3 piso y hacerse daño o incluso matarse.

Que esa es la gracia del mundo de The Witcher, que Geralt en combate podía ser un maestro, pero si un bicho simplemente le envenenaba lo iba a pasar putas o incluso morir si no lo remediaba a tiempo.

No me esperaba nada bueno, pero ufff.... tiene un 4 porque entre muchas comillas el lore es correcto.… Expand

it's unbelievable how lore-unfriendly the whole portrayal of the world is, it added nothing of value to the witcher world, this movie felt more like a castlevania ripoff than an authentic take on the witcher lore. Lauren schmidt hissrich you could've just told us it was fanfiction from the beginning lol, black kaedweni aristocrats and gay witchers? give me a break please. i don't take this show seriously as an extension to the witcher, i was just watching for the flashy fight scenes and animation really.

the storytelling was shallowly rushed, maybe 90 mins weren't enough for the events to unfold in a proper pacing or maybe it's just terrible writing.

as for the characters, they were underwhelming at best. no interaction was that memorable. it felt like the script writers were so self-conscious about their work that some dialogues were too perfectly eloquent to be real. to say it in short, no character felt relatable even papa vesemir and this is coming from a die hard witcher fan. i wasn't attached to anyone and really didn't care about their fates, i was just waiting for the story to end. not to mention the irrational arguments and actions that were made by that sorceress, probably the worst character in the show.

and to finish the last bit of the rant on the thing that bothered me the most, and that is the voice acting. the voice acting my dear sirs and madams was pure trash. like seriously what's the point of a human recording his/her voice to represent a fictional character other than displaying emotions or to react in a proper human way to a certain event to bring the character to life? my man vesemir and the others were just reading the script for us. deglan's voice-actor was better than all but the same goes for him.

now besides these things i enjoyed the animation and the last fight scene, the final 25 minutes were entertaining and included some interesting moments, but they couldn't compensate the total mess that took place before.

the concept had potential to be better but the execution was bad. extremely bad to me personally at least.

oh and the honey cake looked delicious.… Expand

Although visually stunning, the technical brilliance of Kwang Il Han and his team cannot quite make up for the lack of character in this bland Americanization of the beloved source material.

Lauren Schmidt Hissrich and Beau DeMayo work toAlthough visually stunning, the technical brilliance of Kwang Il Han and his team cannot quite make up for the lack of character in this bland Americanization of the beloved source material.

Lauren Schmidt Hissrich and Beau DeMayo work to strip away all traces of the Polish and Slavic folklore and mythology that were so brilliantly researched and intricately brought to life to captivate the minds and hearts of the millions who fell in love with the Witcher books and video games.

What is left are characters that are 2 dimensional in more than just their artistic style, goodies and baddies with haughty RP accents and generic poorly thought out backstories in a seemingly random somehow multi cultural medieval setting displaying none of the well thought out world building that lays the groundwork for the immersive stories of the books and the games.

The "Story" itself also goes to several lengths to both ignore the lore of the Witcher universe and in several cases outright break it, delivering a cheap deus ex machina to provide a bad guy antagonist, followed by a rallying of all the good people to fight for a good cause just like the ill received ending of Star Wars The last Jedi.

A good feat of animation this is, however Vessimir this is not, and The Witcher this is not, just an animated Marvel film about a generic monster hunter with some shameless stabs at further milking the IP of The Witcher.… Expand

The black Kaedwinians, gay witchers, and humans fighting alongside monsters (whom i was led to believe they hated?) to kill Witchers, as well as the bizarre take on the Trial of the Grasses just shows a complete disregard for the canon of the universe.

Instead of rigorous study and training, 10 year old witcher initates are thrown into a swamp where only the lucky survive. Whoever stumbles out randomly gets superpowers.

And yet at first time, I was afraid that Vesemir would be completely different character, worries were after the first 20 minutes were cleared. Music was fantastic too. The best The Witcher content on TV ever, quite possibly the last on Netflix. Sure, I could swear at things here like he doesn't do finger games or a few other things when using the sign, but why would I do that. Story is really good and lore-friendly.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It has all the witcher stuff that we (I) love the most. The non-black-and-white world that boasts imperfect characters - the "good" guys who don't always do the best things and who also screw up. The "bad" guys who want to do good and believe they do. The various issues troubling the society, both masses and minorities. A beautiful love story. Amazing combat - anime style, not faithful to the books (but it's fine). A fair, fair portion of lore in it's own adaptation. It's a really great (shonen, I believe?) anime and holding true to that, it changes some things up in the source material. It's definitely to be taken with a grain of salt. But it has managed to pack a lot of good stuff in the short 1.5 hours that it lasts.

I suggest keeping an open mind and taking the movie for what it is - a Witcher inspired anime that offers great story, characters, additional backstory and some stunning visuals. I'm also not stating that what was shown that doesn't contradict the books is now to be considered canon, just like other Netflix and CDPR productions it has it's own story and it's up to each of us to treat it as we like. But it was cool and interesting nevertheless.

I give the movie a really strong 9/10. After the books and then games, it's my 3rd favourite installment in The Witcher universe.… Expand

however good animation and such cannot hold a movie up completlely and with everything else the movie sadly falls, lets take for instance the charcters if your a major fan youd probaly know everyone (i think) but if your a guess lesser fan like myself youd only realy know vessimir and without knowing the other charcters they have realy no weight and the movie doesnt do enough to make you give a **** if it was a series then maybe we could have dedicated time to learning those so newer people could enjoy but as a movie their wasnt enough.

honestly can sum this up as "if you want to watch a movie/series about monster hunters slaying the terrors of the night go watch castelvania" which yeah is true and i understand some might go "o you just wanna **** on it you castlevania fanboy" or whatever but no i did enjoy the movie and honestly if it was maybe an extra hour or even 30mins i might forgive more cause wed have seen more, but as it is it just doesnt hold up sad to say, i do hope we will see more cause like the castlevania series it deserves more and to see more of the wonder, and i truly hope the people who made this realise this and use this as a building block for more

thank you for reading it all i just thought it was worth talking about.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf is a fine movie, it would've been better if they didn't specify this as being a prequel movie about Vesemir's past and just used an original Witcher of their own creation as there are some inconsistencies between this Vesemir and the ones from the books. (For example, the name of his mentor figure)

Art & animation 9/10
What I'm here for. The style, animation and character and monster designs all look fantastic and are definitely the high point of the movie. My one complaint would be that some of the fights are a bit *too* over the top, making the Witchers look more like demi-Gods than simply mutants whereas the books and games to a lesser extent definitely made it believable that they were still at least somewhat human and somewhat vulnerable.

Audio 7/10
Music is good and gives off some of the same vibes as certain scores heard in the game, though the song at the start was god-awful (though I assume that was the intent). Voice acting was...good to decent for important characters, less so for everyone else. The voices of any child characters was especially awful, though. At least in my book.

Story 6/10
The story feels fairly fractured, trying to focus on both Vesemir's backstory and the eventual attack on Kaer Morhen that would eventually lead to the downfall to the School of the Wolf. I would have preferred if they focused on one or the other as both stories are certainly interesting but neither seem to get quite the attention it deserves to truly shine.

Overall verdict 7/10
The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf looks very impressive, but otherwise isn't terribly memorable and doesn't quite *feel* like a Witcher property. Focusing too much on the big action and fight scenes and too little on the characters and the atmosphere. What scenes that do certainly stand out, however, and as mentioned before the artists and animators deserve a lot of the credit for making this movie what it is.

Hopefully any future animated Witcher content will also try to go the extra mile when it comes to writing and voice acting.… Expand

Totally awesome, we had to miss Witcher stories for some time but now we can enjoy one again. This story is not totally canon but d*mn, it really shows how far you can pull the Witcher universe in anime.

Good movie, but treat him like a fan fiction movie when you watch him.

This was fantastic, and a fine respite from all the other failed animated shows and movies this year. I don't get the low score, what more could you want.

There's a fine line between extending the story, and writing straight up fan fiction. This is fan fiction on steroids.

Black kaedwin nobles? Amputee Witchers? Mages collaborating with mutant elves!? Monsters just flying into portals without looking back!? Gay Witchers!?? Did no one at any point think it might have been a good idea to just smack Lauren Schmidt Hissrich on the head, and tell her that no one likes her feminist, "all inclusive" garbage injections in the story? If you forget that the main goal of a movie is to entertain, but priortize some juvenile all inclusive political view, you have lost sight. I read somewhere that she has signed some deal with Netflix to do other shows, so maybe after season 2 some dude comes in and realizes how retarded the casting for The Witcher has been so far. Stop blackwashing characters, and stop breaking the lore. It is not making your show better, and this movie isn't more diverse rather than just a travesty in terms of character portrayal.

Now back to the movie. The movie is actually pretty darn entertaining until the final act. Witchers are getting arrogant, and one takes this to new extremes. Vesemir is a cocky Schwarzenegger, and gets a taste of his own medicine. And then there's a made up love interest, and some **** sorceress who, instead of working out her issues, blames all the Witchers for the acts of one bad apple in the most childish and irrational way you can think of.

Entertaining, but come on. This is rather a parody than Canon with the books or The Witcher show. They even managed to **** up the appearance of Gerald of Rivia. Bald...??? Did they even read the books or is this just stabbing at non existing masoginy by the creator? 6/10.… Expand

The show looks like it was directed by a toddler. The dialog sounds like something out of a 13 year old's fanfic.

The movie is a great addition to the franchise and it feels like it's supposed to.

The characters struggle with making the right choices, or at least the better ones, because it's not a black and white world, it's a grey one. WheneverThe movie is a great addition to the franchise and it feels like it's supposed to.

The characters struggle with making the right choices, or at least the better ones, because it's not a black and white world, it's a grey one. Whenever there's a conflict, there's no way of knowing what action is going to be the more beneficial one.

The animation is incredible and combat really feels powerful. The characters are also great and you start caring for what happens to them. Vasemir is a cool main character with lots of charisma and brings life to the main plot.

I definitely recommend it to Witcher fans and newcomers alike.… Expand

A good effort to improve the -really bad- tv series. Writing was ok, but a little away from the books. Image and voice acting pretty good. There was even a female villain character (hard to find in modern political correctness).
