This is not on Vin Diesel alone, the movie has good acting prowess with Elijah Wood and Michael Caine, among others, however the characters are nothing more than stereotypical eccentric magicians or familiar villain. This rushed pace is also translated to the characters, which appear like random strangers meshed together and suddenly given strange development. Underneath the cosmetic spells, the production value feels simply average, far too similar to Constantine from last decade. Visual is mostly crafted with CG, and the action is mediocre with crude choreography. It doesn't have to be Hellboy 2 level of sophistication, but the lore available feels terribly underutilized. The screenplay could've showcased the mythology with calm pace and imaginative scenery, yet the movie abruptly shifts between uninspiring random clubs, which makes the entire environment seems generic. Other movies, even comic books and video games have used this premise to captivate audience effectively. This is a missed opportunity since the occult version of modern city is teeming with potential. It feels like a rushed tour of New York and none of CGI view made lasting impression. Straight from the first act, the movie tries to jam as many expositions as possible while panning through myriad of hidden exotic locations practically every five minutes. The Last Witch Hunter tells the story of Kaulder, an immortal who hunts witches for centuries. However, in his recent fantasy escapade, he's bogged down by the same flaws from Constantine and even Van Helsing far too much stylish fireworks and lacking any real focus on narrative. From the famous furious action series, sci-fi, family comedy and even the lesser known crime drama, he's a legitimate blockbuster draw. Say what you will about Vin Diesel, the guy has performed a variety of roles. From the famous furious action The Last Witch Hunter casts many mismatched fantasy gimmicks like a desperate magician, lacking identity and any real magic.

But I enjoyed the ride for the most part and I think it's worth a shot if this looks mildly appealing to you. 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. Pretty slick CGI for a movie of its budget too.
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. Taking the BAMF archetype and chucking them into the modern age isn't a new thing. From The Witcher to Dungeons & Dragons to The Highlander. But visually there is a lot here borrowed from a lot of things to do it's own thing.
The movie is bogged down by a lot of expository dialog, cannot be denied.

If you're a creature of habit that just can't deal with innovation you'll love this movie. In other words, it brings absolutely nothing new to the table. It's not ball achingly bad, but if you've seen your fair share of action movies you'll be able to predict every scene, plot twist and ending. The movie is one massive cliché, with such awesome things like endless dream sequences with a twist, having loved and lost, left with hard shell, woman busts through hard shell, love at last, main character losing power and regaining power, main character being tossed around like a **** doll ending with him lying on the ground for a while. A few minutes in I thought the movie had potential, but as it went on I slowly realized that it was one of the frustratingly predictable ones. The actors were great, Vin Diesel cool and like able as always, Michael Cane was Alfred, Frodo didn't do much.
