The American drama "The Witcher", which once attracted much attention, declined rapidly after the farewell of popular actor Henry Cavill. According to the statistics of Rotten Tomatoes**, the ** rating of the fourth season of the show is only 35%, and the audience rating is as low as 9%, which is enough to be labeled as "the worst in history".
Henry Cavill is a popular actor who has won the hearts of audiences by playing the role of Geralt brilliantly in the first three seasons of the series. He not only successfully restored the image in the original book in terms of appearance, but also perfectly showed Geralt's complex inner world through excellent acting skills.
The performance of the new "Geralt" Liam Hemsworth in "The Witcher" did not receive universal recognition from the audience. Many viewers believe that he is very different from the image of Geralt played by Christopher Cavill, and some even feel that his performance is far from the original image.
Although Hemsworth did well in the Hunger Games film series, in The Witcher he did not win praise from the audience. This is also reflected in the user rating data on Rotten Tomatoes, with Geralt played by Hemsworth being far inferior to Christopher Cavill in terms of audience recognition.
Cavill's departure has had a significant impact on the continuity of the series and the development of the story. Leam Hemsworth replaced Henry Cavill as Geralt, but the audience was clearly less receptive to him than Cavill.
According to Rotten Tomatoes, the audience rating for the fourth season is only 9%, which is far from the level of previous seasons. Hemsworth's rendition is considered to be a far cry from Cavill's Geralt.
Many viewers were unhappy with the mismatch between Hemsworth and Geralt's appearances. In the original**, Geralt was portrayed as a tall and unique character, an image that was brought to life in Cavill's performance, and his long hair, swordsmanship, and charisma were loved by the audience.
However, there is a big gap between Hemsworth's appearance and Geralt, and his short hair and body shape do not match the image of Geralt in the audience's mind, making it difficult for the audience to accept the role of Geralt he plays.
The audience questioned Hemsworth's performance. With his excellent acting skills and deep understanding, Cavill has succeeded in bringing out Geralt's complex and rich character.
However, Hemsworth's performance is considered to lack a deep understanding of Geralt's character. Viewers said that his performance appeared bland and failed to realistically portray Geralt's mental world and emotional changes, making it impossible for the audience to relate to the character.
After Henry Cavill withdrew from The Witcher, Hemsworth's role as Geralt in the fourth season was controversial. According to Rotten Tomatoes**, the audience rating for this season is only 10%. The audience generally felt that the plot development and character changes were unreasonable, which brought them deep frustration and disappointment.
Not only is the development of the plot and the mutation of the characters unsatisfactory, but the plot logic of the fourth season of "The Witcher" has also attracted strong criticism from the audience. Viewers felt that the plot of this season was chaotic, and the sudden change in character image made the series seriously incoherent with previous seasons.
What is even more distressing is that the narrative and structure of the fourth season have also been heavily criticized. The audience generally believes that the plot of the new season is too fast-paced, and all aspects of the story are not fully told and developed. The plot jumps frequently, and a large number of plot clues and characters appear, which makes the audience feel troubled and difficult to understand.
The production of the series also needs to be taken seriously. Many viewers are not satisfied with the presentation of special effects and action scenes, they put forward high standards for the quality of special effects, and think that the filming and editing process of action scenes is too rough and lacks a smooth and compact feeling.
The show's screenwriter choice and character building have also been questioned by a wide range of viewers. Everyone believes that there are big problems in the growth of the characters and the relationship between the characters, and the lack of logic in the characters' behaviors and decisions makes it difficult for the audience to have emotional resonance with the characters and the plot.
Overall, Henry Cavill's performance in this film is excellent.
