”The Last Witch Hunter” with Vin Diesel is far from spellbinding
So now Vin Diesel makes Nic Cage movies? “The Last Witch Hunter,” not to be confused with Cage’s 2011 effort “Season of the Witch,” is clearly meant to be the beginning of another franchise for Diesel, the man who leads the “family” in the hit “Fast & Furious” series. There is even a “Witch Hunter” sequel in development, I am told.
But just wait a minute. If the second one is as terrible as this first film, I curse the descendants of those involved to drive Volkswagen Jetta diesels for all eternity.
“The Last Witch Hunter” begins 800 years ago at a time when all warriors apparently looked like the cast of the History Channel’s “The Vikings.” Diesel’s flaming-sword wielding warrior Kaulder is a witch hunter, skewering the minions of the “queen witch” like they are so many spicy kielbasas in the scary-looking giant tree in which she lives (Don’t ask me). Apparently, it was she who unleashed the Black Death upon humanity in the form of a cloud of “plague flies.”
But I wouldn’t put too much faith in any of the information in this screenplay attributed to Cory Goodman (“Priest”), Matt Sazama (“Dracula Untold”) and Burk Sharpless (“Dracula Untold”). At one point in the present time, when Kaulder, who is immortal, drives a Bond-approved Aston-Martin and fights witches for a secret Roman Catholic Society called the Axe and the Cross, meets modern-day witch Chloe (Rose Leslie,“Game of Thrones” and “Downton Abbey”), she complains about witches being “burned at the stake in Salem.” They weren’t, Chloe. Kaulder’s “handler and confessor” is the 36th priest named Dolan (Michael Caine, recycling his Alfred). When Dolan 36 dies unexpectedly, he is replaced by Dolan 37 (Frodo himself, Elijah Wood). Apparently, some “14th-level warlock” (a bearish Olafur Darri Olafsson) is endeavoring to bring the witch queen back to life.
Too bad the film, directed by Breck Eisner (“The Crazies,” “Sahara”), is already dead. The only funny line is spoken by a captive warlock (Joseph Gilgun), who tells the members of the Society’s “witch council” that they resemble a bad ’80s rock band (he’s right). But otherwise when “The Last Witch Hunter” isn’t assaulting your ears with cheesy dialogue, it tortures your eyes with god-awful computer-generated cheese whiz.
Kaulder lives like a Saudi prince in vast rooms with a view of New York’s Central Park and has a man-cave full of weapons and mementos. He is truly the Batman of bald-headed, witch-hunting immortals. The only fun to be had at “The Last Witch Hunter” is because of Leslie. Needless to say, this talented Scotswoman, whose tough-as-nails cred has already been established in “GoT,” deserves a franchise of her own. Sorry, Kaulder. Go, Ygritte.
(“The Last Witch Hunter” contains violence, sexually suggestive language and drug use.)
In 2011’s Fast Five, the fifth installment of the blockbuster The Fast and the Furious series, as well as Fast & Furious, Diesel wore multiple hats on both projects as he reprised his role as Dominic Toretto and produced the films, along with Neal H. Moritz. He also wrote and directed the original short film Los Bandoleros. The short, which was showcased on the Fast & Furious DVD, tells the intriguing backstory of the characters and events leading up to the explosive oil-truck heist in the film.
With Diesel's star power and the popularity of the fantasy genre, "Witch Hunter" is poised to be an action-packed, thrilling adventure. Audiences can expect a visually stunning film with intense battles, stunning effects, and an engaging story that explores themes of good versus evil, redemption, and the power of belief. In conclusion, Vin Diesel's upcoming role as a witch hunter in the movie "Witch Hunter" is sure to showcase his action skills and intensity. The film promises to be an exciting exploration of the world of witches and the conflicts that arise between them and the human world. With Diesel's star power and the popularity of the fantasy genre, "Witch Hunter" is bound to be a thrilling and visually captivating adventure..
Reviews for "Unveiling the secrets of Vin Diesel's witch hunter arsenal"
1. Jane - 2 stars - I was really disappointed in "Witch Hunter" played by Vin Diesel. The storyline was weak, and it felt like a poor attempt at mixing action, fantasy, and horror. The character development was lacking, and I found it hard to connect with any of the characters. The action scenes were cliché and predictable, leaving me bored and uninterested. Overall, I would not recommend this movie to others.
2. Mark - 1 star - "Witch Hunter" was a complete waste of my time. Vin Diesel's performance was lackluster, and the dialogue was poorly written. The movie tried too hard to be dark and gritty, but it ended up feeling forced and contrived. The special effects were also underwhelming, and the plot was so convoluted that it was hard to follow. Save yourself the disappointment and skip this one.
3. Sarah - 2 stars - "Witch Hunter" was a major letdown. The concept had so much potential, but the execution fell flat. The plot lacked depth and originality, and the characters were one-dimensional. Vin Diesel did little to elevate the film with his performance, and the film failed to create any sense of suspense or thrill. I found myself checking my watch, waiting for it to end. There are far better fantasy films out there to watch instead.
4. David - 1 star - I couldn't stand "Witch Hunter." The story was incredibly predictable, and the dialogue was cringe-worthy. Vin Diesel's portrayal of the titular character was uninspired, and I found it hard to root for him. The action scenes were poorly choreographed and lacked any real excitement. This film felt like a wasted opportunity to create an engaging and immersive world. Save your time and watch something else instead.

Vin Diesel's performance was underwhelming, and I couldn't invest in his character. The supposed twists and turns felt forced and not well-executed. Overall, the film lacked a strong foundation and failed to deliver on its promises. I would not recommend it to anyone looking for a compelling fantasy film experience.
