I'd give that a decent to strong 8
Eh, something looks a bit off about it to me. I feel like he could use some more facial hair or something. Otherwise, I have a hard time forgetting that he's Henry Cavill
The eyes leave something to be desired, but overall, I dig it
Thumbnail: "Yeah no..." Actual video: "actually, yeah." It's not Gary of Rivea, but it's pretty damn close to book/W1 Geralt.
Book Geralt was clean shaven
Looks fucking awful. Looks like hes just playing dress up. Its exactly what i was afraid of. Remember this? https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/1871/3480f77d-b69a-4439-ad66-c14b77714b5f/supermanlives2.0.0.jpg
i just see Cavill....
Book geralt doesn't like facial hair. We also potentially have the rest of the cast here: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/491350056025456642/507202716855042069/vph6g02d9jv11.png

With these kinds of posts, i feel like they'll have to open the series with him sporting a full santa, only to shave it off.
Eh the hair feels like a wig to me (it probably is but it doesn't feel natural, probably because I'm too used to his face)
His eyebrows could be a bit lighter, but otherwise he looks like a pretty good young Geralt
If he can do the voice justice then it's looking okay.
Come on is this a meme. He looks like a LOTR elf. Probably would have been way better if he had simply not shaved that morning.
Book Gearlt doesn’t like beards at all, he’s clean shaven in the books and generally wesring a headband (which they seem to have sadly omitted ).

Hair is a bit too long for my liking. I like the half ponytail from w3 the most
It looks okay. I'm going to give it the benefit of the doubt and wait until I see it in the actual show and Cavill's performance with it. The hardest part, I think, is just getting over the fact that he doesn't look or sound like the game's Geralt.
Geralt of Rivendell.

Facing forward the hair looks kind of cheaply done. When he turned to the side everything became better, though.
All I can see is his chin.
I know that he doesnt have a beard in the books but I think most people see Geralt's character in their mind as how he looks in Witcher 3. So even if it's faithful to the books they will complain. Especialy when he looked like this in witcher 1 https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/297971/2dd02187-ac01-4d91-9024-c82bb48b19f5/image.png Even ignoring the beard, cosplayers did a better job with the hair and makeup. I just see Cavill with a wig.
Cavill seems like a pretty cool dude to me, but goddammit I feel like he's the Michael Cera of action-y roles.
I wasn't sure at first, but when he drank the potion he definitely looked the part IMO.
He's too pretty. Also the hair looks really fake.
I do
I actually like how he resembles TW1 Geralt, considering that was likely how a lot of people were introduced to the character, myself included.
Lol nobody cares about book Geralt.
