The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf

POSITIVES…

  • For those itching to visit the world of the Witcher, this anime movie one will give you a little bit of that fix. 

  • The world building is still one of the more interesting aspects of this franchise. 

  • Shows us the process of how a Witcher is created, so fans should like that. 

  • Despite the short 80 minutes runtime, I felt like the narrative was very efficient in getting us quickly attached to the characters. 

  • Main protagonist Vesemir's brash cockiness is entertaining to watch. 

  • Relationship between Vesemir and Illyana is the main highlight of this story. 

  • Kudos to the voice cast, which includes Theo James, Mary McDonnell, Lara Pulver, Graham McTavish, and more. 

  • Animation and character designs are fantastic. 

  • Enjoyed watching the action choreography. 

  • This was unexpectedly more bloody, violent and gory than I thought it would be.

NEGATIVES…

  • This was unexpectedly more bloody, violent and gory than I thought it would be. 

  • Considering that a huge chunk of this 80 minutes movie is dedicated to the backstory of Vesemir, there isn’t actually a lot of content to really sink your teeth into. 

  • Speaking of the runtime, maybe this movie should have been longer than what we actually got. 

  • Certain plot conveniences that cheapen the story a bit. 

  • Purist fans of the Witcher might just have a lot of complaints about this adaptation.
