The Last Witch Hunter

"If ‘Vin Diesel fights witches’ doesn’t have you running to the cinema, you can probably safely avoid The Last Witch Hunter, a movie that sadly fails to transcend that goofy premise. It’s the kind of film you assume must be based on a comic book, but isn’t."

"The movie left me amazed - amazed that Nicolas Cage wasn't in it."

"Diesel brings a self-aware sense of humour to what is far and away the nerdiest movie of the year..."

"Plodding supernatural slog..."

"The most glaring flaw of all is even more basic: there's not nearly enough witch hunting."

"Often incoherent and repetitive..."

"Dumb fun, to be sure, but fun nonetheless."

"There are certainly enough dopey diversions here for The Last Witch Hunter to be considerably more fun than it is..."

"A relentlessly unengaging affair, its derivative and logic-deficient script matched by flat direction and fussy, unconvincing CGI."

"As Kaulder, Diesel does what he does, rumbling out lines of silly dialogue in his subwoofer of a voice. As far as acting goes, there’s not much."

"Most will find this a rather too brassy affair, handicapped by incontinent plotting."

"It's hokey as hell, but The Crazies director Breck Eisner plays it like a video game and keeps the teen fan-boy market onside..."

"A solid entertainment put together with confidence and a few decent jokes."

"One of those artlessly restless, exposition-dialogue fantasy-action slogs."

"Clogged with cardboard characters, flat dialogue and a sluggish middle act that gets lost in too much fabricated witchy folklore."
