Mac M Jan 3 Reviews said it was bad, but as a Witcher fan, I had to see for myself. It really is terrible... See more Bill T @btreakle Jan 2 “The Rats: A Witcher’s Tale” This movie starring Ben Radcliffe and many others story about a group of thieves and there are ventures on on the way to having everything they could ever dream for in their life. This is a fantasy movie depicting the trials and tribulations of this group of 6 and there are many exploits. This movie is appropriate for ages 14 and above. Although it received very poor reviews on IMDb I’m going to give it a 7 out of 10 stars I kind of like this type of fantasy film and I thought it was very well done. See more Kimberley R @Kimberlilee Dec 30 I enjoyed the spin off!!! I wasnt expecting the world from it to begin with because I read so many bad reviews.... I kept an open mind when I watched it, It was harder to connect to the rats individually- it felt rushed and somewhat carelessly thrown together, but I still liked it! You just have to enjoy it for what it is! See more Michelle L @Mmmichelle003 Dec 30 This was better than I expected it to be. (Possible spoiler) I hate knowing what happens to the rats in the end though and then going back to hear their story but it was decent. However, I’m not sure how they would end this show with them with them securing the "biggest score ever" and then instantly looking to score again at the beginning of The Witcher although they just said they had "more money than they could ever spend". Kind of a loose end that doesn’t make sense how the end of this show lines up with the others. Maybe that’s the "poor writing" that I’m seeing on other reviews. See more Harley V @Harley09 Dec 28 One of the worst movies made. Lundgren is his usual self but is portrayed as more of a loser. He can’t fight, he is extremely slow and he gets his butt kicked by 90 pound children. He is portrayed as a total wimp. This is not what you would expect from Lundgren. As far as the other characters I guess you can have some fun just hoping they get badly beat or eliminated. Not a one of them can act. So much drama, so much boo hoo’n. If you are into Hallmark type movies or slow burn to no burn movies then maybe this is for you. See more Niccolo D @NiccoloDAgruma Dec 28 The recent Witcher season and this spinoff film are some of the worst written pieces of fantasy and cinema that I have see in a quite a while. It makes Twilight look like Interstellar. The acting and plot is extremely thin, which is not the actors fault, but the goddamn script. To further demonstrate the depth of poor writing, let me say in the final sequence of the show someone unironically called "shotgun," spoiler there aren't shotguns in the Witcher, thus I do not know how in the hell the writers thought that was a good idea. I think that sums up the show in its entirety quite well. Nonsensical writing that makes it feel like your watching "Jake and the Never Land Pirates." See more Read all reviews
