The Rats: A Witcher’s Tale is a testament to why we need longer seasons, which prestige television series and streamers have generally abandoned. Go to Full Review

David Y @Yungafn 1d The worst movie I’ve ever watched was honestly so painful to sit through that I couldn’t believe it was even released, let alone allowed to air on a major platform. It felt like a complete waste of time from start to finish. The story didn’t make sense, the pacing was terrible, and it was so unbelievable in the worst possible way that I kept wondering why I was still watching it. Nothing about it was enjoyable, and instead of being entertaining, it just became frustrating and exhausting to get through. What made it even worse was the fact that it was on Netflix, because I expected a certain level of quality from such a big streaming service. Seeing something that poorly made actually made me question the standards for what gets released. It honestly disappointed me so much that it pushed me to cancel my membership altogether. I just couldn’t justify paying for a service that would promote something that felt so low-effort and poorly done. In the end, it wasn’t just a bad movie I hate See more Nicholas H @Nick333x 6d Awful that it has the name "Witcher". Protagonist is self centered and puts the whole crew in jeopardy. Her crew automatically forgives her. Very poorly written, I’d give it a 0 if I could. No depth and adds nothing to Witcher lore. Watch dragon ball evolution, you’ll at least get more out of that movie See more Yiarem S @Axel_ Feb 14 Really enjoyed it. Especially after I finished the last season of the witcher. It was like some kind of extra dose to dive into the world of the witcher. Wish it could be longer or maybe anothef idea would be to add more tales like that in the witcher universe like maybe more heists from the rats! Or Lion's earlier life story etc. I do not understand the low rating though people don't enjoy anything nowadays... See more Ry N @RyGuy Jan 29 A group of thieves enlist a Witcher when they run into a monster during a fighting arena heist. I was thinking this feels like a boring CW show then I saw the director's filmography. See more Gustavo M @Gcmarcal Jan 18 The only good thing is Dolf Ludgreen. I never hated the characters so much watching any film. The only one that I didnt hate was the chubby boy. What a piece of garbage. I hope they reallly died as per beggining of the film.
