It's the first film I ever saw as a kid. It even has a sort of Joffrey Baratheon type of king.Now that I think about it, there was a very fun movie I watched as a kid called Dragonheart and, ironically enough, it offers a much better Witcher experience than Witcher netflix show.
Lets see:
- A long-haired disheartened, but noble wandering knight on a quest of hunting a monster? Check.
- Bossy girl as a love interest? Check.
- A subversion of a classic fairy tale narrative with "human" turning out to be cruel, violent and evil, while "the monster" turns out to be kind, heroic and self-sacrificing? Check.
- Educated yet funny comedic side-kick? Check.
- Lots of humor mixed with tragedy? Check.
- A moral lesson (you are defined not by who you are, but by what you do)? Check.
It was a really good movie. And had a much better dragon.
And yeah, dragon design was miles better. In fact, Netflix dragon looks like a featherless chicken
