Wish we had more time with them though.Īs of now, these are the few compliments and criticisms I can think of.
weak, but to be fair, we didn't get much of their backstory.
Villain - Can't say much about the villain because we already knew who it was from the start, but I really enjoyed the small surprises and twists we got along the way. I also don't remember all the lore 100%, so can someone confirm if it was lore-friendly? (Also, I know Geralt's hair turned white from the Trial, but did he lose his hair too? I know it happens though, so I might be misremembering regarding this). Some things make sense, but there are just too many questions. #JERUZALEM MOVIE DISCUSSION TRIAL#
Still though, the Keep was nearly destroyed at the end? Did they go back once the fire died down? How did Vesemir learn the Trial of the Grasses? How did he rebuild as a lone survivor (maybe he called the other schools for help)? This is less of a criticism and more of a "what happened reallY". It's a bit shocking to see Vesemir training the boys at such a young age (70 yrs), but I can give it a pass since Witchers age differently. !! Before the film, I think most fans guessed the fall of Kaer Morhen to have happened way before Geralt and the gang's time. So they thought, "oh maybe it's because there was a sorceress who looked and acted like her back in his time?" Still, it's a weak excuse. I have a theory that they made her this way because Vesemir (in canon) is really not too fond of Yen. Other than that, I'm just not too keen on them making a character that looks and acts (on a surface level) so much like her? It's strange. If she's such a human purist (and from a pure mage bloodline as she claimed), then why are her eyes purple? Yennefer's were that color because of her elven blood. ! Why does she look like Yennefer? Honestly, this doesn't make much sense to me.
It's fun to see new things, and as a long time fan of the games and books, it was surely a joy to see the abilities and appearance of these new beasts.
The monsters ->! It's explained in the movie, but wow, I really enjoyed seeing monsters we're familiar with but are slightly different. Despite the short run-time, I feel like we received adequate insight on the characters of most (not all) of the characters. The characters - I enjoyed most of the characters in the film, and I appreciate a few familiar faces that we got to see. It was done very well and continued consistently throughout the movie with the music and environments they drew. What happens in the first scene both sets the tone and introduces to the audience our main protagonist. The atmosphere, music, and vibe - One of the great things the movie did is setting the tone of the universe in the first scene alone. It was obvious there was some dialogue to really explain some background stuff, but it didn't feel too excessive to me. 
The pacing - This one's a bit more neutral to me, but it was fast enough for me to enjoy (didn't feel dragging). The Animation - It was done beautifully, and the action sequences were a true pleasure to watch. I enjoyed it a lot, but not sure if everything was lore friendly? Here's a list of what I think they did right and what they could've improved on. Use this thread to discuss your thoughts on the movie.
