Director Breck Eisner’s The
Last Witch Hunter started off hokey with Vin Diesel looking ridiculous
in bad 13th Century makeup and garb as he battled the Witch Queen
(Julie Engelbrecht), who created the Great Plague.
But, within 5 minutes,
those who stayed were in the 21st Century where he, as the last
witch hunter, was still around after 800 years, keeping the world safe from the
dark witches.
Though, unfortunately,
depicting all witches as dark, the script by Writers Cory Goodman, Matt Sazama
and Burk Sharpless also suffered from too many cooks stirring the same pot and became confusing at times. However, the overall story was interesting
and the presence of Michael Caine and Rose Leslie
(Game
of Thrones) made this worthy
Halloween viewing for those who want to experience a few scares.
Production Designer Julie
Berghoff’s spooky sets also deserve kudos.
I give The Last Witch Hunter a 3.1 out of
5.
