TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Inmechon The movie's only flaw is also a virtue: It's jammed with characters, stories, warmth and laughs.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

denis888 I love Polish cinema. I love Michal Zebrowski, he was awesome in Stara Basn or in Ogniem I Mieczem. I love the fantasy books in LOTR style. But this film killed nearly all my sentiments. What do we see here - very badly done video effects (the scene of the battle with a dragon is especially hilarious), pathetic play of all the cast and above it all - too much of Zebrowski - this time, blond, dirty, proud and uttering such laughing stock lines that it is hard to believe your ears. Nay, do not waste your precious time - this is a random mixture of the images of Sapkowski's books, badly filmed and with a laughable budget. Nothing of the good kind here - just a constant yawning disease all throughout the endlessly boring film.

altctrldel the movie is simply horrible (2/10). Although actors are trying their best (well sometimes that isn't much) special effects are ...let me put it this way it would be better if there weren't any.The script is based on Sapkowski's prose, so it should be the biggest advantage of this movie. Sadly it's the opposite. There is nothing left of the original atmosphere. And it's all very chaotic. Maybe they just had too much material to show in 2h time.Anyway if you would like to see this film I would recommend you to look for the TV series (same title, same actors, even the plot stays the same) that was made in the same time the movie did. It is so much better (9/10) and the story there actually make sense:)

JakubDemianczuk Yes, that's true. That movie is a horrible piece of... you know what. Almost all fans of Sapkowski's books in Poland think the same. The truth is that polish cinematography can not afford producing fantasy films. It's a shame when you compare "Wiedzmin" and "Conan the Barbarian" for example. I hope no one outside Poland will ever see this nightmare.

gtokarsk I disagree that this movie is a waste of time - maybe if you know the book and have high expectations because you know the story, but if you just want to relax and see a nice movie I think it'll do the trick very nicely. When I've seen it, I have noticed some slight technical problems, like scenes sometimes do not fade from one to another to well, some special effect are not done as well as they could be, but in general I am happyI've seen the movie, and I am quite sad that it's yet another movie that probably would be appreciated in the US if this nation was a bit more opened to "not American" and would go through a bit more work to import stuff from Europe. Of course Poland should make it's efforts to advertise the movie to the West.The acting, imho, has been quite good, mixing up serious, magic and funny points quite well. especially the main 2 characters were quite impresively played.If you ever come across this movie, and you like Tolkien type of story, I really think it will not be time wasted.
