The modern world holds many secrets, the most astounding being that witches still live among us. Centuries ago, Kaulder (Vin Diesel) managed to slay the all-powerful Witch Queen, decimating her followers in the process. Before her death, she cursed the valiant warrior with her own immortality, separating him from his beloved wife and daughter in the afterlife. Her resurrection now threatens the survival of the human race as Kaulder, the only one of his kind remaining, faces her vengeful wrath.

Critics Consensus

Grim, plodding, and an overall ill fit for Vin Diesel's particular charms, The Last Witch Hunter will bore and/or confuse all but the least demanding action-fantasy fans.

Diesel is definitely not the kind of actor who can effortlessly coast through a film by dint of his rakish wit and charm. He needs a vehicle (ahem) that plays to his strengths. The Last Witch Hunter is definitely not such a vehicle.

Rated: 1.5/4

Picture Harry Potter for Emo kids. No wonder there's already a sequel in the works. Brood on, Vin.

It is terrible. It is fabulously entertaining.

Deep Focus Review

Operates in a series of tropes and clichés, neither improving nor innovating upon them.

Diesel is fast and furious enough to deliver the Conan the Barbarian level dialogue ('The benefit of eternal life is that I get to kill you twice!') with conviction but the movie is dull enough you'll wish these witches would go away for a spell.

Rated: 2/5

The Last Witch Hunter is a bland attempt at franchise filmmaking. It's not entirely dull, but there's very little about it that's exciting, either.

As usual, pay no mind to the tone deaf critics as this movie was excellent. I find myself re-watching this movie as much as i do the Harry Potter and Lord of The Rings/The Hobbit series, which is quite often. I do hope they release a sequel to this movie.

I happen to love this movies, especially the interactions between Diesels character and Rose's. I have watched this movie several times and can't wait for a sequel.

To write a review of this film would be an act of hubris equal to writing a sequel to the Holy Catechism, but casting Vin Diesel as the Archangel Michael. I'll just mention a few things to consider alongside or after your watching. This film contains some disturbing scenes rendered in 2015-era graphics, and cost perhaps more than 90,000,000 dollars. This was 100% Vinjamin Diesel using his own money and that of private equity firms to actualize his own childhood tabletop fantasies. I had no idea this was part of the Dungeons and Dragons Dung-o-verse until I checked the Wikipedia. How does this cinematic triumph have an 18% on this godforsaken website when that Glen Campbell movie has a 100%?? There is no justice in this world...

This will be viewed as a classic deserving of a sequel.

Con lo que me gustan las películas de accion con tinte sobrenatural no se como en su época se me paso esta. La historia, si bien tiene su complejidad con giros no es de lo mejor, es mas hasta repite algunos elementos ya conocidos en el genero pero es exactamente lo que esperaba ver: brujas re podridas, hechizos locos y bichos del inframundo todos enfrentándose a Vin Diesel que esta solo con armitas y una espada.
