(Each rating is worth 4 points with a max of 5 per category) **My audio/video ratings are based upon a comparative made against other high definition media/blu-ray disc.** The rating is for sequences of fantasy violence and frightening images.ĪUDIO/VIDEO - By The Numbers: REFERENCE = 92-100/ EXCELLENT = 83-91/ GOOD = 74-82/ AVERAGE = 65-73/ BELOW AVERAGE = under 65 I like Vin Diesel and Rose Leslie's presence didn't hurt either but when all was said and done, this is a poorly crafted film that will probably leave all but the most forgiving of genre fans disappointed. I can usually hang in there when it comes to action fantasy popcorn entertainment and reservedly did so with The Last Witch Hunter, despite its middling elements and mediocre production design. Anyway, she, along with Julie Engelbrecht, as the makeup covered Witch Queen, were the film's bright spots. I am not sure what Elijah Wood has done of late so I can forgive his signing on for this, but Rose Leslie has been getting plenty of quality work and need not subject herself to this. I cringed at the poorly integrated drama, ridiculous plot twist and the cheesy lines spoken by screen veteran Michael Caine. The Last Witch Hunter abounds with overused clichés, lofty attempts at seriousness and a bland, formulaic storyline that is predictably unimaginative, while failing to make use of star Vin Diesel's limited but workable toolset. When history’s deadliest witches resurrect their bloodthirsty Queen Witch, Kaulder becomes humanity’s last hope as he clashes with the supernatural in an epic battle for the ages. Kaulder is an immortal witch hunter who has spent centuries tracking down those who practice evil magic.
