Last Witch Hunter, The (12A)

Action, Adventure, Fantasy

The last witch hunter is all that stands between humanity and the combined forces of the most horrifying witches in history.

The critical consensus

It's a story of sorcery seriously lacking in cinematic magic.

Diesel plays a man of action, not ideas, as he leads a brotherhood of bad-women slayers in this dismal film.

Diesel is comfortably watchable as the unstoppable immortal (when not chewing on hand-me-down Wookiee chin fuzz) but even his rumbling charms can’t save this, nor justify its sequel-bait sign off.

A real Halloween howler, this pixel-afflicted horror-fantasy never gets near to fulfilling its potential. Even hardcore Diesel addicts will be hard-pressed to enjoy.

The special effects are nifty but the plotting is both messy and preposterous.

Half-baked tosh that is hard to take seriously.

(*) (*) (*) Daily Express, 23/10/2015

Dismal fantasy.

I was hoping for a kind of modern day Highlander. Alas, it’s closer to a modern day Warlock, the 1989 turkey with Julian Sands.

The star and D&D enthusiast leads the way in a ridiculous video game of a film, but one that will please teenage boys.
