The Last Witch Hunter

If only for the sake of Rose Leslie, the beautiful and versatile Scottish actress from Downton Abbey and Game of Thrones. Leslie brings real acting chops to whatever she does, including this entertaining if not brilliant witch flick. Honestly, I watched it because of the cast, headed by Vin Diesel, who was surprisingly sympathetic, and Elijah Wood (Frodo Forever!). Michael Caine also plays a small but key role and adds just enough tongue-in-cheek gravitas to elevate the movie. The story isn't new or brilliant, but it is fun as far as supernatural good versus evil goes. I gave it a 7, one click above its average, to acknowledge the work of the cast, which proves that good actors can make even middling material into something better than it would be without them.

I didn't expect much from this movie. In fact, the only reason why I went to watch it was because of Vin Diesel.

It's another one of those Hollywood cliché filled movies. Don't expect much of a storyline other than bad things happened to my family, I became a witch hunter, defied death and killed witches. It's just filled with moments you know exactly how they're going to turn out if you've seen any other movie from Hollywood.

The visual effects were good enough. And the actors played their role. The plot has so much potential. Something like knights of the round table dedicated to incarcerating witches for using black magic. It's a nice idea but poorly executed since the idea is crushed half way into the movie.

Go see it if you like 21st century shotgun + sword action and Vin Diesel. Otherwise stay way from it.

A witch hunter cursed to live forever finds himself facing the witch who placed the curse on him. It was trashed by the critics - and there's no doubt that talk of witch prisons and the like is more than a little silly - but The Last Witch Hunter is nevertheless enjoyable trash if not taken too seriously. Diesel gives a charismatic performance as the title character, and receives solid support from the likes of Michael Caine and Elijah Wood. Only a protracted final act spoils the mindless fun

While the movie isn't cinema worthy it is an Excellent quality movie for Netflix.

It's got a happish ending and isn't too plot heavy or filled with jump scares.

It's a movie that doesn't take itself too seriously (not that it's a total comedy but it doesn't try too hard to make you get excited into the plot which is nice as yiu don't have to think too hard

Decent world building and it doesn't try to set up sequels too much tho there is a a little attempt to.

It's acted well since the actors aren't overacting too much.

Negatives:

A little silly how one of the main characters who appears to be quite young owns a huge apartment and a business (I'll leave it at that)

Some things are left a little unclear too but it's forgivable given that you won't be dying to know them

This modern revisit of the witch-legend is not actually a bad movie. I mean it won't be the "film of the year" but, if you are looking for some nice special effects and a little bit of action, this film will help you pass a nice evening!

I found it enjoyable and not too long, and moreover, Vin Diesel is good for this part. He always give his best in this kind of "badass" character (Riddick, Fast and Furious).

If I had to point out something not good about this movie I would say that is too stereotyped, especially in the end, but, in the end, I think it's worth spending 10$ to see it!
