Most of the “Harry Potter” series is better overall, but too often that franchise devolved magic battles into faux gun fights. The film takes time to explain things, but the real standout here is the way magical battles incorporate outlandish spells. The world-building at play here is very good. He helps keep the balance between magic users and humans.
Fast-forward 800 years to present day, and he’s working as the enforcer to a secret alliance between the Catholic Church and the Witch Council. Kaulder achieves his goal but is cursed with immortality in doing so.
From the beginning, “Witch Hunter” lets you know it’s not quite playing by the same rules as other action movies. This fortress is a vast tree that stretches across the entire horizon, and the warriors are faced with strange magics and shapeshifting beasts once inside. We find Kaulder (Diesel) and his band of medieval warriors launching a last-ditch assault on the fortress of the evil Witch Queen. But enough about Apple users and “Steve Jobs.” Instead, let’s talk about a movie based on Vin Diesel’s Dungeons & Dragons character: “The Last Witch Hunter.” They worship an unnatural god who thinks humans are here only to serve. This weekend saw the wide release of a movie about a strange cult threatening the world.
