Proper studio with ton of money...
... could've made this into something even more grandieu than LOTR. I have not read Sapkowski's books in polish but I have them all in russian. I, myself, am a old fantasy fiction fan, but after Wiedzmin/Witcher saga I could not find any other book that I could have liked. Polish made movie was a disaster and even tho I am Lithuanian I feel like I was
BETRAYED.
Series was even worse. Nothing was left from the original trully EPIC atmosphere that Sapwkowski has created. It feel like a cheap amateur studio made product for video rental market. Wiezdmin is a part of polish cultural heritage.
Wiedzmin is to LOTR, like LOTR is to Harry Potter. It's grim, dark, romantic, dramatic, heroic, supernatural, magic. Like all those. But only Wiedzmin delivers something more - it's alive, REALY believable and it's tragic. It's adult. It's for grownups.
Series that Heritage studios have made are watchable as much as cheap porn on Sunday mess in Catholic church.
