While I enjoy Elijah Wood and feel he is one of the more bright spots of The Last Witch Hunter, portraying a good-intended young man simply in over his head, this also means that Michael Caine gets about 10 minutes of screen-time factoring in his quick demise. This means it’s up to the new, 37th Dolan (Elijah Wood) to take up the mantle you see, as a child his parents were murdered by witches and good ol’ Vin saved him from meeting the same fate. However, these artifacts never actually get followed up on because all in a matter of 15 minutes, his Dolan (handlers that assist him in doing witch hunting stuff, or something, I have no freaking idea) goes from contemplating retirement to getting murdered overnight. Naturally, he wins but is also given the curse of immortality.Īnd so we pick up the story 800 years later (thankfully with Vin Diesel sporting his usual bald appearance) as he is searching for ancient artifacts.
You also know The Last Witch Hunter is going to be terrible when one of the first images shown is a 14th century Viking Vin Diesel (complete with an absurd beard and mohawk wrapped in a ponytail) marching from a snowfield into a cave to battle the Witch Queen (man, the writers of Priest and Dracula Untold busted out the big guns when writing this creative masterpiece). That’s essentially what the Vin Diesel witch hunting vehicle is a whole bunch of video game and action fantasy clichés rounded up into one incoherent exercise in frustration. The Last Witch Hunter might be the worst video game adaptation not actually based on a video game. The last witch hunter is all that stands between humanity and the combined forces of the most horrifying witches in history. Starring Vin Diesel, Rose Leslie, Elijah Wood, Olafur Darri Olafsson, Julie Engelbrecht, and Michael Caine.
