Obviously Henry is ridiculously good-looking. But more impressive is his dedication to his craft, his perfectionism that has resulted in his awesome incarnation of Geralt. This series has the hallmarks of a truly great fantasy series - compelling storylines, a distinctive, unearthly ambience, and yet a believability that can lull one into thinking these people and places could actually exist.

The storylines are much worse than in the books though. The showrunners streamlined them quite a bit, made characters and their arcs less interesting, removed some of the morality nuances, altered plot points in a way that made little sense... Otherwise it could have been pretty great indeed. Cavill is top-notch in the role as you said.

@zaynec8475 4 года назад

Actually, the choreography isn't that good. In the beginning Geralt is using reverse grip, which is not something a real swordsman would do, unless he's ambushed. Then Renfri is constantly spinning, which leaves her open for the strike like half of the time. Yeah, sure, Geralt doesn't want to kill her, but her fighting style kinda begs for the question - how did she manage to survive till this moment? But it looks cool, and operator's work is really great.

The fight with Renfri got me hooked to the show. It was the best sword fight I had ever seen. And it's so rare that it involves a man and a woman too.

@igneoplus 4 года назад

@Sampiro Locke Most of the really good fight scenes in TV and film are terrible depictions of martial arts though... And that's fine! No one's gonna come study sword fighting from Henry Cavill, but the scene does a great job setting a thrilling pace for the audience, convey the characters' emotions and telling a story throughout. That's what it ought to do

@lelinha8074 4 года назад

Sampiro Locke we have to take into account that while skill is something very important to depict in scenes like this one, it is still a fight built for the sole purpose of entertainment. Not saying I don’t agree with you as I myself don’t know much about martial arts, but the creators of the show most likely cared more for the visual appeal of the shot rather than how accurate it was to the skill level they attempted to portray.

@brendan9868 4 года назад

Sampiro Locke it’s fantasy mate, it’s meant to be unrealistic. Yes spinning in a fight would get you killed in real life, but guess what? It fucking looks cool. It’s like saying Game of Thrones was bad because it had dragons and dragons are unrealistic.

@johnnierichardson1771 3 года назад

Sampiro Locke totally agree. But we see that all the time in movies and tv, so the fight scene looks more titillating. I’m constantly telling my daughter that if you do all those twirls and fancy stuff, you are putting your back to your enemy for no good reason and will get killed or injured. But, Hollywood. 🥴

@cindyj5522 3 года назад

it was very exotic. good thing this is a fantasy story and not that of genuine warfare with swords. all the twirling and whirling and changes of grip we see in such series these days(ala GoT, Vikings, LOTR) is not what real swordplay is like even if it is a ton of fun.

@fajarhaq6812 3 года назад

The series is based on the books, there isn't any other blood bath like this there as it's out of character. The action in the books comes from Geralt fighting monsters and that was well represented in the series. That being said, yes, it would've been pretty cool to see more of this.

@grahamvandyke 4 года назад

@@ionesito I feel like they could have taken liberties since it's 'based on' the books. It's done all the time with movies & TV shows that are based on actual events. I don't know the books at all though, so I suppose it's good they're working so closely with the source material!

@dmittie9761 3 года назад

I've watched the series now at least 6 times and these two particular sword fight scenes are absolutely mesmerizing to watch. The fact that the first one where Gerault is fighting the gang is done in a single shot is spectacularly incredible, the amount of pinpoint timing required by so many people, including the cameraman is exquisite and seemingly flawless. The second sword fight with Renfri really does look like an intricately detailed dance, the moves between them are this whirling, spiraling dance of swords and death. I love hearing about the backstory behind scenes and this one by Henry does not disappoint! It's always worth the repeat viewing of this series. I am so looking forward to another, and many more seasons.

@DrKnockers05 4 года назад

There’s literally no one better fit to be Geralt, only on the fact of how much of a fan he is and how much he cares about the franchise. But of course there’s also a plethora of other reasons than just that, but the actor actually being a big fan and caring as much is rare

But it wouldn't be the same if she played another character (say, Yennefer, who doesn't fight with weapons), so it's more precisely a shame that her character got killed off early (though it couldn't be avoided, since that's what happens in the books).

@celticbabs3105 4 года назад

I felt their chemistry more than I felt it between Yen and him. And the way it was written he carried the memory of Renfri with him throughout the rest of the season where he doesn't with Yen. It's likely due to the time lapses between episodes, but their 'relationship' didn't resonate with me as much as his and Renfri's did and they were only together for 1 day. :( (caveat here, I must admit though I can watch Henry and Anya kissing in EP 6 all day long!)
