The most glaring flaw of all is even more basic: There's not nearly enough witch huntingįollowing the brief introductory sequence, the movie flashes forward to the present, where Kaulder, now a clean-shaven immortal who favors sleek city coats and black button-downs with ridiculously oversize collars, spends his days tracking down witches who’ve broken the truce and delivering them to an organization called the Witch Council, which delivers its judgment and then locks them away in an underground dungeon. But after the opening scene, in which Kaulder - elaborately bearded and clad in macho furry armor, like a Brooklyn bartender who joined the Night’s Watch - leads a band of ancient warriors into a witch’s den to kill off a witch queen, there’s disappointingly little actual witch hunting. The movie stars Vin Diesel as Kaulder, an immortal badass who for 800 years has enforced a truce between humans and witches at the behest of a shadowy group known as the Axe and Cross. But the most glaring flaw of all is even more basic than any of that: There’s not nearly enough witch hunting.
The Last Witch Hunter has a lot of flaws: its plodding pace, its lazy direction, its muddled story, its hopelessly expository dialogue.
