I had no idea what I was getting into when I found this. I'm from brazil, so "watership down" wasn't a movie I watched as a kid.

I'm from brazil, so "watership down" wasn't a movie I watched as a kid. What draw my attention immediately to this was the cast of really good and talented people. The casting in comparison to the animation made it clear where they chose to spend their money, cuz the cgi is just plain awful, but dont get me wrong, whereas watership down is ugly, it can be really well acted and written. The performances are top notch,specially by boyega and McAvoy. The story is also fascinating, with am intriguing world building that got me hooked in the first 5 minutes. Alongside with all the political plot and satire, watership down is just not perfect thanks to it's bad cgi, but if it wasn't for that, it would be a perfect 10/10!… Expand

Personally, I liked it, but only that. I didn't take anything from it. And even though I wasn't that impressed with the cult animated film from 1978 either, I have to say I liked that one better.

Just really bad. I give it 4/10 only because the animation wasn't terrible, but as an adaptation of a beloved piece of literature or as a story in its own right, it's extraordinarily disappointing. As someone who loved the original book, myJust really bad. I give it 4/10 only because the animation wasn't terrible, but as an adaptation of a beloved piece of literature or as a story in its own right, it's extraordinarily disappointing. As someone who loved the original book, my impression is that this was created by people who had no affection for or understanding of the source material. It's not just that the content is abridged; the core of the story is gutted because it would be difficult to adapt the introspective journey full of personal growth. Instead whole sections are added to ham-fistedly heighten drama. Characters are totally changed in the name of creating melodrama where none existed in the book. Where the book all about the journey and the day to day life of rabbits in a unique world with a distinctly non-human perspective, the series is clearly bored with the all that business of living so it chooses to add action sequences that serve no purpose and convert subtle, sensible characters into a collection of cliches. I wouldn't be so offended if they had kept the same tone or purpose of the story, but I wonder if the writers of this even read the book? It's also got to be the worst case of "tell don't show" I've ever seen. The complete absence of any visual story-telling and the brutish dialog made me cringe.… Expand

Bad series, the biggest problem was that Boyega's character was really annoying so skipped the scenes wth him which was most of the episode.
