Matthew S Yet more of Netflix's creatives seemingly having read the source material this was based on, and totally disregarding it for something far inferior they came up with themselves. The short story this is based on is a touching, insightful, and ultimately heart wrenching tale, loosely based on the Hans Christian Anderson tale of The Little Mermaid. It intelligently explores bigotry, unrequited love, human power dynamics and more - all within an exciting and action packed narrative. This film however, replaces all that with an inane, comedic parody of the Disney version of the story, complete with a singing octopus baddy - and the modern Disney trope of the gender flip finale. Also one of the voice actors seemed to have never done any voice acting before - actually possibly never any acting before - it was so amateur. The rest of the cast was actually pretty good, though as per usual with Netflix's Witcher, Dandylion is played as a fool - which he is most definitely not in the books. I'm out, not going to watch any more Netflix Witcher. I'll wait until it gets rebooted in 10 years, hopefully with some talented people who understand and respect the source material.

I just hate that they decided to do so only for one chapter of a book that only covers a few short stories about the universe. The show was entertaining but would have loved to see an animated series of the books, not an extended movie of one chapter of the short stories. There is so much potential here. Please Netflix do the same but with the Witcher series. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/19/25 Full Review Nelson E We have in this film the proof that Netflix knows the story of the witcher but deliberately sabotages it, we are teased with each trailer a little more fidelity to the original materials to end up being spat on, between the villain who starts to sing, Essi Daven who is completely anecdotal in the story, and the story which was butchered to fit into the horrible chronology of the Netflix series... (which was nevertheless my favorite) honestly let this series die and continue to reread the books that we love so much. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/12/25 Full Review Ron C Netflix has really ruined The Witcher. It started off with great promise. Sadly midway through Season 2 on wards it just really dropped. That god awful prequel was probably the worst, but this movie isn't really much better. Dandelion in Netflix is so poorly done. He isn't a clown in the books. In fact, he is actually extremely intelligent but Netflix uses him as the comical relief. Esse's voice sounded horrible. And while the story it is based on is based on the Little Mermaid, they undid was made it work in the Witcher universe and made it more Disney Little Mermaid like. It just didn't work. Netflix, just stick to the source material!! Stop trying to make changes. You aren't improving anything, you are doing quite the opposite. The ONLY reason I give this a start is because hearing Cockle back as Geralt is always a welcomed thing. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/12/25 Full Review Marcus G Whilst there are a lot of things wrong with this movie, the standout issue to me was Essi’s horrific accent. Whoever voice acted here must’ve been drunk or high because that was an absolute car crash of voice acting!!! Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/09/25 Full Review Read all reviews
