'Wiedźmin (The Hexer in English) is a 2001 Fantasy film by director Marek Brodski, starring Michal Zebrowski as main charachter Geralt of Rivia. The story is based on the books and stories of The Witcher, by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski.
The film is essentially the then-unreleased TV series chopped into about 2 hours, and received very poor reviews from both fans and critics. The 13-episode TV series came out the following year. The series was much more coherent than the confusing movie, but was still considered a failure mostly due to the film's already bad reputation and due to vast changes to the source material.
