Movie Reviews of The HexerMovie Review: A very entertaining Polish fantasy film Summary: 4 Stars
Wiedzmin (The Hexer) is a Polish film based on the fantasy novels of Andrzej Sapkowski. The main character is Geralt, the White Wolf (as played by Michal Zebrowski, who also starred in "With Fire and Sword"/"Ogniem i Mieczem" and even played a short part in Polanski's "The Pianist") who slays monsters that harm people, but leaves the peaceful ones alone. The film contains several short adventures that lead up to a larger story.
Some people claim the film was not as good as the novels it was based on, but this is often the case with film adaptations. As far as I am concerned, the film was fairly entertaining. It was worlds better than "Dungeons & Dragons" (2000), but it was no "Lord of the Rings" (2002).
Directed by Marek Brodzki, Wiedzmin is 129 minutes in length. The film is spoken in Polish, with English subtitles. Wiedzmin was made in 2001 and I would say it is rated "R" by American standards. For swordfights, monsters, and dragons, Wiedzmin is a lot of fun.
Summary of The HexerGeralt 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!
