In the moments right before her death, the Queen cursed Kaulder with immortality, forever separating him from his beloved wife and daughter. Armies of witch hunters have battled this unnatural enemy for centuries, including Kaulder, a valiant warrior who many years ago slayed the all-powerful Witch Queen, decimating her followers in the process. The modern world holds many secrets, but by far the most astounding is that witches still live among us vicious supernatural creatures intent on unleashing the Black Death upon the world and putting an end to the human race once and for all. Production: NeoReel / Summit Entertainment / Atmosphere Entertainment MM / Goldmann Pictures / Aperture Entertainment / TIK Films / One Race / Lionsgate /.Fast and furious on the surface, shallow and conventional beneath, Diesel’s bid to carve himself another billion-dollar franchise is off to a good start with this mainstream crowd-pleaser. Steve Jablonsky‘s ever-present, over-insistent orchestral score also grates on the nerves before long. Less impressively, Eisner’s movie is clogged with cardboard characters, flat dialogue and a sluggish middle act that gets lost in too much fabricated witchy folklore. A couple of late plot twists also feel refreshingly left-field, even if they are shameless signposts for future sequels. In its favor, The Last Witch Hunter boasts some terrific production design and digital effects, notably the Witch Queen’s lair and a creature called the Sentinel, both nightmarish pagan constructions of shape-shifting wood and bone. Still, having such a wooden lead playing such a one-dimensional hero definitely makes it less appealing for casual movie goers. In fairness, these limitations are unlikely to deter the movie’s action-fan target demographic.
In The Last Witch Hunter, he acts opposite an immobile corpse and a wooden tree monster, yet still somehow manages to be stiffer than both. But more recently he seems to have settled comfortably into Steven Segal mode, a walking bag of boiled ham whose expressive range barely extends beyond sleepy-eyed, guttural grunts. All smirk and bicep, he was once earmarked as the natural successor to Bruce Willis. The one truly impressive thing about Diesel’s acting skills is how he has achieved so much with so little.
