I love the Witcher series having read the books and played the games. It was interesting the way they had the time jumps, but I can see how that would be confusing for people new to the series. It was really well done and they got it right with Henry Cavill because he got Geralt's mannerisms and voice down perfectly. I know people have commented about that low monotone voice, but the thing is that is how Geralt talks in the games and the books. Witchers are basically mutants and one of the things that changes is how they show emotions, they can't emote very well in their face and voice. Henry Cavill got that right. I feel what they did with Fringilla's character is a little odd, but I get why they did it that way and Yennefer's story arc was very interesting. I hope to see more of her in season 2. Overall, very well done.

I love millie brown on stranger things I know she can act. But the script felt like enola should carry the show and just forget about sherlock holmes. Henry cavill played a good sherlock for a short time. I didn't feel like it was equal. Enola felt like sherlock didn't understand didn't give him a chance

The MI franchise is a very reliable franchise, I've really enjoyed watching every single MI film, and I do think that they keep getting better. Though the run time was hefty, I was enthralled the whole time. I liked how they worked in Ethan Hunt's ex-wife (it was in the trailers, therefore not a spoiler), it worked very well.Tom Cruise is, of course, balls to the wall crazy about these stunts, and it makes it fun to watch.
Though, let's be serious, Tom Cruise beating Henry Cavill? Get real.

I find Zack Snyder movies generally border on Michael Bay territory, visually very impressive but empty and soulless. I also didn’t like ‘Man Of Steel’ at all and find Henry Cavill a wooden Superman. This I actually found to be a slight improvement , it’s not as long and thankfully had a bit more humour with the addition of Wonder Woman , Aqua Man and The Flash to the mix. It feels very choppy though perhaps evidence of the extensive reshoots and turbulent journey to the screen the film had. Ultimately it’s watchable but fairly forgettable stuff that pales in comparison to any MCU movie.

I do really like the show. The fact that Henry Cavill is a big fan of the Witcher books and games shows. He really got Geralt's signature growl and mannerisms down perfectly. I can see how season 1 could be confusing for people with the timelines switching back and forth, but the storytelling is very well done. Season 2 is also good with one exception. I can not stand episode 2 in the season because it completely destroyed the character of Eskel. I didn't even recognize him when they introduced him until Geralt said his name. Eskel in the books and games is referred to as a gentle giant. His demeanor in many ways is like Geralt to the point that many people think they're brothers. Eskel also has his own child of surprise in the books and has a critical role in the books and games. Eskel in episode 2 is vastly different. They basically murdered this character. Eskel in episode 2 is a rude boor, arrogant, and sexist. Then they go completely against Witcher lore and have Eskel infected by a Leshe, something that is not possible for Witchers because of the mutagens in their bodies. Then they kill him. I was stunned and very disappointed because for the showrunners to claim that they want fans of the books and games to like the show, this said the exact opposite. I know Henry Cavill can only do so much, but this was a very poor choice that the writers made completely changing a well known and loved character so drastically and then killing him off. If you lift episode 2 out, season 2 is great. It's the only episode that really doesn't fit in with the others. I really hope season 3 does better with the lore and that the writers actually do the research and learn about the Witcher lore and world.

This is the first time that I have felt disappointed about a Holmes universe remake. Usually they are done well out of respect for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The plot could have been so much better, it seemed to get lost within itself.
There were some good ideas and potentials for much better plot e.g. the suffragettes rising and the bombing plot but this was only touched on. The only reason we kept watching was to see if the mother was going to be involved with a bombing plot. The feminist aspect was then reversed when she went chasing after a boy, although with a political meaning this was still heavily focused on their relationship.
All the clues were spoon fed to you and had no real significance. There was no audience immersion like other Holmes movies. I don't know if that was what the 4th wall stuff was supposed to do, this did not work for me and soon became boring as it added very little.
This could have been half an hour shorter and achieved the same story.
Considering this seemed to be aimed at teens, some of the fight scenes were brutal especially where Enola is nearly drowned!
The only redeeming features are the cast list. Bobby Brown was endearing and is an excellent young actress. With more Henry Cavill in it this may have improved the whole story.
