CONTENT: IS ‘THE LAST WITCH HUNTER’ SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN? ‘The Last Witch Hunter’ has entertainment in spades and although it’s violence is likely to be too strong for younger viewers, its adult tone sets it apart from similar movies which are often aimed at kids but struggle to get the tone right. The plot doesn’t do anything beyond the normal set pieces but this does not devalue the inherent charm of having a character the audience can root for.Īlthough the film is relatively predictable, it is a great deal of fun and brimming with exciting action sequences. This type of character and the challenges he faces are nothing new but Diesel’s portrayal of a man who is strong but fair and entirely good brings a comfortable feel to the movie. Vin Diesel, arguably most famous for his role as Dominic Toretto in the ‘Fast and the Furious’ franchise, finds himself in an entirely different role as a tired, lonely man who fights against evil, never quite knowing who he can trust. His invincibility allows him to be tough and brave but his inherent goodness keeps him grounded, balanced and seeing the good in the people around him. ‘The Last Witch Hunter’ follows an immortal man (Diesel) in his never-ending battle against evil.

Odeon, Cineworld, Vue and Reel cinemas are now taking bookings for the first showings on Wednesday.The Last Witch Hunter – In the Middle Ages, witch-hunter, Kaulder, destroys the Witch Queen, but with her dying breath she curses him with eternal life. Without a hint of emotion or nary a spark of on-screen chemistry with co-star Rose Leslie, he struts manfully through each set piece, bound for the inevitable final showdown that is as confusing as it is anti-climactic.Ī final reel twist will surprise only the few members of the audience, but all of the production in the movie world can't hide the fact the final scene is disappointing.ĭespite all of this, it is obvious that there will be a follow-up film. The Last Witch Hunter has some great production design and digital effects, but the movie directed by Breck Eisner is an interminable bore, which foolishly places the weight of the film on Vin Diesel's broad shoulders. Other stars include Sir Michael Caine, Before the Fall's Julie Engelbrecht and Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith's Rena Owen. The Fast and the Furious star Vin Diesel plays Kaulder, Game of Thrones' Rose Leslie plays Chloe and The Lord of the Rings' Elijah Wood plays Dolan Thirty-Seven.
