there be three main problem with the film . or rather there be three reason why it isn not even a contender worthy of more serious consideration . firstly and and this be always go to be true and it not nearly as good a the book . however and at least we could have expect to reflect some of the sapkowski wit or depth . secondly we have the production . fantasy movie be and in my opinion and the hard to produce well . everything from the prop through costume and scenery and stunt and ( especially ) cgi be substandard . finally and and this be many be very subjective and i just can not quite take the acting seriously . i wasn not bring up in poland so i can not really judge it may me my lack of familiarity with film in polish . all the same the line seem very amateurishly deliver . the casting could be well as well . in summation and the only possible redeeming feature of this film be the remainder of the plot shin through represent not unlike a diamond ring on a rotting cadaver . on a separate note i hear that the book be come out in english . i haven not see them yet but i can not imagine how one would even begin to translate them . i would ask the english speaking reader to bare this in mind when judge the book .
