Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Andrzej Sapkowski is one of the most popular writers in Poland. He has been translated into many languages (but unfortunately not yet into English), and as a fan of fantasy literature I'd proudly put his 'Hexer' series next to the works of Raymond E. Feist, Glen Cook, George R.R. Martin or even master Tolkien himself.
However, the movie is as terrible as the books are wonderful. Sapkowski's comments were disregarded by the movie makers, and later he 'diswoned' the movie. The story was cut to pieces, mixed in almost a random order and spiced by idiotic twists from the movie directors. Special effects are on the lowest TROMA level. Music is hideous. The only redeeming thing is the leading actor, Michal Zebrowski, who at least looks and acts like Hexer Geralt. But while good, he is not oustanding, and definetly cannot save the movie.
If you can get a hold of the books it was based on, please do so. But stay away from this movie adaptation, it is twice as bad as you can imagine after my review.

Geralt the White Wolf has a date with Destiny. The perfect warrior, Geralt is a weapons expert who also knows magic, making him more than a match for any opponent. He wages battle against a wicked villain who has his sights set on the queen’s feisty daughter; he slays a fire-breathing dragon and falls in with all-female league who want to nurse his wounds. With each adventure, he draws closer to fulfilling his Destiny. Based on the popular fantasy novels by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, THE HEXER is an exciting, action-packed tale of honor-bound knights, horrific beasts, and heroic deeds that slew Polish box office records!
