Splinter Cell: Deathwatch Reviews

Amazing , need more of it

Taking such a franchise managed to spoil the series. Animation and drawing is great, but what about the series? Just nonsense, nonsense. I do not recommend wasting time on the watching

Rating: 6.9/10

Splinter Cell: Deathwatch is a solid and faithful animated adaptation that captures the clandestine atmosphere of the video game series. With a stylish and tense tone, the show excels in its direction, voice casting, and animation.

Highlights
- Tone: The series masterfully replicates the "stealth-action" feel of the games, with a focus on silence and shadow.
- Voice Casting: Liev Schreiber shines as Sam Fisher, bringing a world-worn and gravelly voice to the character.
- Animation: The mature, European animation style creates a distinct and slick visual identity.

Criticisms
- Predictable Plot: The story follows a generic and formulaic "global conspiracy" plot, lacking originality and surprising twists.
- Underdeveloped Characters: The new supporting characters, particularly the villains, are one-dimensional and lack depth.
- Pacing: The show's slow-burn pacing can feel sluggish at times, leading to an uneven viewing experience.

Verdict
Splinter Cell: Deathwatch is a competent and stylish adaptation that will please fans of the video game franchise. While it captures the look and feel of the source material, its predictable plot holds it back from being truly great.

This was amazing

Action is cool but that’s about it

Solid!!!

2/10

85/100 fast paced and a solid story. Ramped up at the end with a twist to the conclusion. I thought they were setting up another season but guess not.

great

Short and sweet Splinter Cell story. Straight forward and the twist comes from a mile away but then quickly resolved.

7/10; good and entertaining

It’s good I feel like it’s what the show archer would be like if he tried. There’s a good story with twists and turns. Is easy to follow and enjoy. The animation the colour the story the characters the action it’s all enjoyable.

"I am invisible, I am relentless. I am Sam Fisher."

What even was the point?

The action was great and I thought Sam was great but story wise. I just wasn’t interested in finishing this show, something was missing.

It’s ok

I was initially quite excited to watch this show but it did not meet my expectations. While the show itself isn’t produced with any glaringly bad features, the story felt shallow. It was like watching a spy show that consistently told me it was a spy show, even though I already know that. I would’ve appreciated more thematic subtlety.

Pretty mid. It also felt complicated to follow with how they complicated the plot for nothing. I was lost and confused pretty much 3/4 of the time.
I also think it’s a shame they didn’t made it like Arcane where you didn’t need to be a fan of the video game to enjoy the show

Good old spy series maybe not something special but still if you like this kind worth watching
