Review of The Last Witch Hunter (2015) by Ydnar4 — 13 Jan 2016

The Last Watch Hunter is a fairly lazy attempt to start a franchise and although I did have a good time with this movie its not a good movie. The whole thing is just so ridiculous that at points its really hard to take it all in and understand it.

It was still a fun watch as Vin Diesel fights all these witches with these random and unexplained tools. The witches are all CGI and they really don't look that good. I think they took the wrong path and should've went with make-up rather than overloading on the CGI.

The dialogue is way too serious and there are several lines that are just not suitable for Vin Diesel. He's fine for most of the film but there are a few scenes where you can tell he's out of his element.

There are also roles from Michael Caine and Elijah Wood and neither one of them are really used enough or really even need to be there. Then in the ending we get an even more unneeded plot twist that really does nothing for the story that they just threw in because they could.

Don't get me wrong I enjoyed The Last Witch Hunter, it was still entertaining, but so flawed. It may be in so bad its good territory or it may be destined to become a cult classic. Who knows? The ending severely hints at a sequel so there may be more.
