I can’t decide whether it’s the relative disposability of the narrative, the unremarkable animation, or the fact that this feels like another spoonful of content thrown into Netflix’s trough, but “Sirens of the Deep” reads like so many empty calories.

Guardian

Movements are very fluid, but expressions limited and there are buckets of cartoon gore, in a deep ruddy red that recalls mass-produced tonalities of fake Persian carpets.

Sirens of the Deep accomplishes what it sets out to do, and it’s both the most confident and the most enjoyable Witcher story.

Sirens of the Deep has the bones for a good story, but the pacing and execution fall flat at various times.

Rated: 5/10

This franchise comes with built-in fans, and the action, humor, and characters of the latest entry will draw them in.

As an adult-animated jaunt through the Continent, Sirens also adds a bit to the Witcher’s personal quest for rectitude, and expands on the lore of the land where he travels.

This movie is fantastic! So happy Doug came back to voice Geralt. This is WAY better than the live action failure that is the netflix series.

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 think this is the closest Netflix has been of following the actual story of the books. 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 out of 5 stars

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.
