If you're interested in elements of realism in fantasy and like over-analyzing of fight scenes, you'll probably enjoy this. Just a geeky rant about how Geralt (Henry Cavill) moves and what is plausible for him to get away with, considering his enhanced reflexes, speed, etc. Of course the multiple attackers are politely waiting their turn instead of ganging up on him at the same time, that's just a standard movie trope. The epic hero wouldn't look so badass if he got knocked over the head by one dude while trying to defend against three others coming at him from the front and sides.
There's crossbow bolt deflection, reverse grip sword handling, spinning, and other shenanigans to comment on.
