The Last Witch Hunter

2nd November 12:20 - Bolton

With a video game feel and over the top action, TLW is a film you can watch without really watching or noticing it's there....unfortunately, I was sat in the cinema not pottering about at home.

Vin Diesel brings his acting power class, grumbling his lines through another franchise wannabe.  This time joined by Micheal "phone it in" Caine and Harry "Radcliffe" Potter as his new protege.  When a witch queen is killed by Mr Diesel in some far forgotten time, he is cursed to forever walk the earth.  He devotes all this time to becoming a witch hunter who cannot die, hence him being the last.  When strange magic is afoot, he must recruit his young protege and reluctant wicker to help in the battle of evil.

There is nothing new about this film, everything has been seen, done and done again, but again there is nothing wrong with it.  It is a film that you can forget about almost immediately, a film that can be merged into multiple other films so that you actually forget what you watched.

Michael Caine spends most of the film in a state of coma and the times when he is awake do not feel much different.  Mr Potter's character is obviously indecent from the start, but the films holds off till the climax for a big reveal.  I could say that this is a spoiler, but the film does that itself!
