shit choreography in fights

The fight in Blaviken in the first episode was great I think, all the rest - not really. Eiter bad or just meh. Btw, the first episode is based on the short story "Lesser evil" which actually makes sense. The book, I mean.

As a fan of the books I think it was shit, at times almost unwatchable. Trailers were really okay, so I was hoping for something much better. They have changed the story plenty of times, which in intself isn't bad, but their changes make no sense. Truth be told the whole show doesn't make any sense at times, because it's so weirdly cut up and rushed. Just meh.

Never seen a female writer write a good, strong male character. Which is fair enough. I wouldn't be able to realistically write the inner life of a feminine woman either.

Hm... Kathryn Bigelow is a director of The Hurt Locker. Though she wasn't a script-writer.

Henry Cavill was quite clearly chosen because he is a handsome gentleman and not because he is going to be a decent Geralt. Fuck this show.

I think that he was chosen because he's a big fan of the Witcher games and books and wanted to take part in the series since it was announced. And he's Henry Cavill, not some no-name actor.

He can be handsome twice as much he is, does not matter. Dude has zero charisma. Good for modeling and playing hot dudes in soap operas and romantic comedies, terrible choice for any sort of serious role. Couldnt stand him as Superman, nothing changed in the mean time.

I think he was really okay in Mission: Impossible - Fallout. And I liked him in The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

Only reason why is this being made into a show is Witcher 3, not 2 or even first game. Certainly not because of some books written by Polish author. In that game Geralt is the boss, everything revolves around him.

That's ofc true, but they make adaptation of books, not games. So I don't see anything wrong with making other characters more important than they're in the games.

Zero chance of that not happening. Agenda completely changed Black Mirror and Stranger Things which were established shows.

By the looks of trailer, Gerralt is support character lol

Yeah, that was a bit weird since wider audience doesn't know shit about anyone but Witcher himself. Though if they want to show in season one how Yennefer became a sorceress that will be quite cool I think. And in the novels the most important character was actually Ciri, not Geralt. He was the main character of original short stories ofc. All in all I liked it.

Also, they were supposed to have Sapkowski as a guide or advisor or something. Sounds more likely that he wanted to change the Nilfgaard look just out of spite, because he got nothing from all the game sales.

Nah, Netlfix and a few people who make this show (Bagiński) announced some time ago that Sapkowski is some sort of advisor, but Sapkowski himself said a lot of times that he knows nothing about making tv shows, so he's gonna have nothing to do with it. He's happy to take money and that's all what he wants.

That's great news. I didn't think they would be able to hire such a big name. And I like the guy. Maybe not as a Superman, but in The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and MI:F he was really good.

PS. I always fought he would be perfect Bond.
