The Last Witch Hunter

In the Middle Ages, the witch hunter Kaulder (Vin Diesel) hunts down the Witch Queen (Julie Engelbrecht) with the inhabitants of towns devastated by the black plague that she had spread.. The Witch Queen curses Kaulder with eternal life to make him suffer the loss of his wife and daughter for the eternity.

I like action and the character that Vin Diesel builds around him in any role he plays, same happened here. Overall movie was nice and had interesting twists and I wish it had more meaningful plot and characters.

This is a perfect example that thespians with a big name doesn't make a perfect flick if the story is weak. Throw in a name from Game Of Thrones (Rose Leslie), catch some old school names (Michael Caine), add a typical hero (Vin Diesel) and this must do it, sadly it doesn't.

We love Vin Diesel, a true super hero, but even Mr. Diesel couldn't save this disaster.

Coming off the set of fast 7 I believed this film was going to be great. Watching this films trailer it looked like it was going to be based in medieval times.

And that's what you need to know, Vin Diesel, a bunch of CGI special effects. Okay action set pieces and a good supporting cast including Michael Caine and Elijah Wood.

Far more fun than it really has any right to be, this newest Vin Diesel wannabe franchise starter (is it in his contract to demand potential sequels?) is a movie that does exactly as its title would suggest and while it's got about as many memorable scenes as Vin Diesel's acting ranges (eg not many), The Last Witch Hunter's runtime wizzes by and there are enough decent ideas thrown around the mix here that perhaps a franchise isn't exactly the worst thing that could happen next once the credits roll.

Most people have that one actor or actress that they will watch anything they are in. For me, that's Vin Diesel.

So when this movie was in its advertisement stages I was pretty excited to watch it. Then when it released a lot of critics (which now that I've seen it I think was likely paid to be so critical of this movie) said the movie was a bore and confusing and just not fun to watch.
