Amazing action, great voice performances, a great story in general even though I wish the runtime would have delved further into the story of a certain mutant illusionist and spent a bit more time on Vesemir's training.

As a fan of the books I didn´t quite like the first season of the tv show for its unnecessary changes as the doppler, so I didn´t have much of an expectation for this movie as I thought they would try to make a dull copy of Geralt in Vesemir.As a fan of the books I didn´t quite like the first season of the tv show for its unnecessary changes as the doppler, so I didn´t have much of an expectation for this movie as I thought they would try to make a dull copy of Geralt in Vesemir.

Also, Vesemir is portrayed... differently than we are used to, but it feels natural as the story progresses. Must watch for Witcher fans!… Expand

Vesemir is badass. Great art, great action, good story. Some may say that it is not fleshed out enough, but I think it works very well as a good origin story for a much beloved character.

And for those whining about it “not being canon enough”, pleaaase shut tf up. Just because you read and imagined something in one way, doesn’t mean it’s the correct way. There is no correct way. Not everything has to be book accurate, content can be added and interpreted in different ways. The Witcher universe has always been open to changes and deviation from the source material.… Expand

Here you can see what it's like when the franchise gets into other hands. This is an animated masterpiece where you say to yourself: Yeah, this is Canon. It perfectly fills the contents of the Witcher and perfectly fills the subsequent attackHere you can see what it's like when the franchise gets into other hands. This is an animated masterpiece where you say to yourself: Yeah, this is Canon. It perfectly fills the contents of the Witcher and perfectly fills the subsequent attack on Kaer Morhen, which has been a gap for quite some time. 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. Better than Witcher's first series ... 9/10.… Expand

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

Subtle nods and references are a great touch. The movie is complimented with outstanding voice acting performances and beautiful animation. A big drawback the film has is its goofy use of CGI although it does work in some moments. The story is nothing deep and follows typical fantasy story beats, although a lot of the dark subject matter tackled here is done very well. I highly recommend this movie to any fan of the Witcher series and to anyone looking for an action packed movie once they’re done binge watching castlevania… 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

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
