Special effects are awesome, someone claimed a few laughable scenes but I didnt notice one that pulled me out of the moment. The story is decent with a little more depth than some give it credit for. A few missed opportunities to show us the struggles of living with immortality. Some of the dialog choices did make me wonder but with a movie like this its to be expected. Movie is great for what it is action movie + Vin Diesel + witch lore = decent popcorn flick.… Expand

Much better than anticipated.

I think this movie's poor rating reflects the nature of mass opinion more than anything regarding the movie.

I enjoyed it.

If there's one description for this movie, it's FUN! If you're down for some entertaining new take on the world of witch-craft hunting, "The Last Witch Hunter" might just be what you need.

The only downside for this otherwise "funtastic" ride of a movie, is Vin Diesel's casting! Yup, really. I think it would've turned out much more awesome if he'd played the fat witch(wizard? Funny, I can't remember that word being mentioned throughout the whole movie) dude, Belial. 'Cause honestly, there's no way the chemistry between Diesel and Rose Leslie could've have worked!
Word of advice: The "critics", the "professional" ones, yeah those guys, many times they suck at their job.… Expand

Honestly, I expected garbage and was surprised that I could actually sit through it. Diesel proved he could be a lead in anything and still carry a film despite it's flaws.

Diesel proved he could be a lead in anything and still carry a film despite it's flaws. It's a solid open world that introduced enough set pieces to set up several sequels and I liked this one enough to actually want to see the sequel in theaters. I just hope they bring in a better villain next time, The witch queen (main villain) spent most of her on screen time being killed.… Expand

A change of pace using the fantasy genre giving us some cool new characters and ideas. The movie is bogged down by a lot of expository dialog, cannot be denied.

The movie is bogged down by a lot of expository dialog, cannot be denied. But visually there is a lot here borrowed from a lot of things to do it's own thing. From The Witcher to Dungeons & Dragons to The Highlander. Taking the BAMF archetype and chucking them into the modern age isn't a new thing. But I clearly enjoyed it for what it is. There's flaws a'plenty but there was enough here for me to sink my teeth into the crap I like watching, simple as that. Pretty slick CGI for a movie of its budget too.

We don't see original characters or original fantasy worlds much on the big screen these days, so maybe I'm just hungry for it. But I enjoyed the ride for the most part and I think it's worth a shot if this looks mildly appealing to you.… Expand

I signed up for imdb, metacritic after using both sites for many years just to post this review. As a actual college graduate, I have no idea why anyone would think poorly of this film. The effects and sound were some of the best I've seen out of any movie. And that was with only seeing the 2.0 version and not full surround. If so many people got this wrong, I wonder what other films I have missed listening to these self-qualified "critics". A must see for 2015/2016.

A zero review from the guy saying "I'd rather playing assassin." No wonder there are so many bad reviews. They are all done by ADHD pre-teens.… Expand

I don't understand the hate on this movie. This is a solid sci-fi / fantasy genre piece with great special effects. It felt like a "Dark Souls" video game come to life, in my opinion.

It didn't have that many slow parts and the movie flowed at a good pace. Vin Diesel was awesome like normal and was fun to watch him play a bad @ss witch hunter.

I feel like pretty much everyone went into this movie expecting it to be horrible and at every step in the movie they had the chance took it to make it more horrible in their own mind.

Yes Vin has a "role" and yes it may have been "predictable". Did you really think that Megatron was going to blow up the world in ANY Transformers movie? Do the bad guys ever win in ANY movie? Yes.........very very few. I think this movie was doomed before it started because of peoples idiocy and bias.

I watch movies for the sheer enjoyment. I actually like the story and the special effects were NOT as horrible as everyone makes them out to be. Yes, predictable, blah blah. I however can know the outcome of anything, know every spoiler and STILL want to know the story as to how it happens.

If you felt you wasted your money, then I'm sorry that your imagination and originality are dead. Don't buy it when it comes out. I felt the same way with In the Name of the King...one of the worst movies I've seen. I get bad movies as long as they're bad for being bad, not because of predetermined bias based on peoples want to see actors fail/directors fail.… Expand

TheCertainly better than the average CGI, fantasy flick. While falling into some similar plotting traps we've seen to often from films of the like, the movie as a whole succeeds thanks to a cast made up of likable, talented actors. The impressive visuals and stylized world help as well.

Plenty of fantasy mumbo-jumbo is floating around. With plenty of lore and magic flying around there are occasional moments that get jumbled and confused. For the most part though it's all pretty easy to follow. Especially since the core plot hits some familiar notes.

We've seen this before. Powerful guy who lost his family deals with a returning evil. Heck, even the immortality part rings a few bells. That's a death sentence for most movies. For some reason though it feels like slipping into a well worn glove with this one. Comfortable and familiar.

The cast all play their familiar character types with a lot of charisma and talent. But what else could one expect with talent from the likes of Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, Nolan's Batman trilogy, and Diesel himself making up the main cast? Obviously we are going to be treated to more fantastic performances.

A lot of great special effects bring the magic to life. The world is vibrant and often colorful. The action is a little lacking, but overall very entertaining. This is an all around pleasant film to look at, and not just because of Rose Leslie.

But what's the real saving grace of the film? What sets it above the average fantasy shlock? Simply put, it's not cheesy. There's no sense of camp, overacting, or inherent goofiness to take all of this into the painful, eye-rolling territory that it otherwise could have landed in. The lack of stupid one liners cannot be under appreciated.

So despite having a very familiar premise there's enough good here to make it worth a watch. A talented cast and attractive world breath new life into it's recycled elements. While still not perfect it's an enjoyable dark fantasy action movie that somehow manages to defy the odds and elevate above the likes of say "Seventh Son."

I give the movie a 7.5/10… Expand

Having not watched "The Last Witch Hunter" on the big screen, I bought the Blu Ray on a whim after seeing the trailers.

Turns out that this is another case of "don't bother with those useless professional critics, they're a waste of space". If you've watched Vin Diesel in XXX or Fast & Furious or Riddick, then this is the same Vin Diesel in another cool frantic action movie with fantastic, polished CGI. What's there not to like in this? There's Vin Diesel himself, there's witches, there's factions, there's humour, there's special effects. Some people say the story is flawed but honestly, I haven't found any glaring flaw as such. It's a good old fantasy yarn and to me has good pacing i.e. there's regular action throughout the movie so there wasn't a dull moment at all. The storyline kept me interested throughout. Even the twist (I don't want to spoil it for anyone here) was quite comfortable and worked well within the movie.

If I watched my movies on the basis of these "professional critics", I would've missed 80% of the good movies I've seen. Only reason it's not a 10 is because Vin Disel has made over-the-top amazing movies like Fast & Furious and XXX so I had to make room for rating THOSE 10s!

Stuff the critics. Watch it and judge for yourself. It's good!… Expand

Good story and great acting. The action scenes could've been better. For example, more magic and more witches should've been included in the movie. This movie did good on surprising you as well.
