Wasted Star Power

“How do you take top-tier action-movie actors like Vin Diesel, mix them with other reliable box-office favorite actors (Elijah Wood and Rose Leslie, fresh off her star turn in Game Of Thrones) and a smattering of box-office greats like Michael Caine and NOT have a winner on your hands?  This had the look and feel of a guaranteed profitable franchise! What went wrong? Too much CGI, Vin Diesel's one-note performance, sub-plots going nowhere,...and the final chapter/plot wrap-up pretty much killed it for me.  Makes you wonder if the production team realized this wasn't the hit they wanted and re-wrote the end to cut their losses?” read more

“To be honest, I wasn't expecting much from this flick but since there was a decent cast involved, I thought I might as well check it out. First of all, it is not very often that you get to see Vin Diesel in something really new since he nowadays he only shows up in some sequels. Anyway, even though the guy was supposed to become the biggest action star in the world at the beginning of his career, he actually never fulfilled these expectations and he has always been a rather limited and boring actor. This movie was a perfect example. Indeed, Diesel was supposed to play a character who was cursed, an immortal who had lived already more than 800 years and, yet, he played this character without showing any mark of inner struggle whatsoever as if Dominic Toretto showed up on the wrong movie set” read more

BradWesley123's Movie Journal- March 2016 (31 movies items)

" DVD- 1hr. 46min. First Viewing There are a couple of okay scenes, and the cast seems to be enjoying themselves (which is always helpful), but The Last Witch Hunter is just not good. It's obviously going to be derivative, it's a Vin Diesel movie, but it goes about it in such a bland and lethargic way that there's about nothing to grasp to. You need even the slightest bit to care about in a movie for it to even remotely work, and this just didn't have it. "

2015 Films - Best to Worst (77 movies items)

" The Last Witch Hunter have rounded up a lot of bad reviews, which is to a certain degree both understandable and confusing. There's nothing truly great about this film (with the exception of how good Rose Leslie looks in that leather jacket), and as a genre film it doesn't come up with anything you haven't seen before. Still I think it's a very competently made genre film that manages to be quite entertaining. I don't think we're getting enough films that centers around this type of fantasy, a"
