Operates in a series of tropes and clichés, neither improving nor innovating upon them.

| Original Score: 1/4 | May 3, 2022

Diesel is fast and furious enough to deliver the Conan the Barbarian level dialogue ('The benefit of eternal life is that I get to kill you twice!') with conviction but the movie is dull enough you'll wish these witches would go away for a spell.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 4, 2021

The Last Witch Hunter is a bland attempt at franchise filmmaking. It's not entirely dull, but there's very little about it that's exciting, either.

| Jul 17, 2020

Gonzo fantasy adventure in an over the top way you rarely encounter anymore.

| Original Score: B- | Jul 3, 2020

The best thing that one can say about The Last Witch Hunter is that it's original. It's still crap, but at least you've never seen crap quite like this before.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 18, 2019

As an exercise in D&D-like world building, The Last Witch Hunter largely succeeds. But as an engaging action movie, it falters.

| Jan 28, 2019

The real sinful hex at large that some unsuspecting moviegoers will ultimately suffer is succumbing to the laughable supernatural spell that The Last Witch Hunter will cast in insufferable, confusing fashion.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Nov 9, 2018

For a movie about an immortal bald man killing witches in modern day New York, it still feels far too bland.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Nov 1, 2018

There are worse ways to spend 100 minutes, and if you can shut your brain off and enjoy the ride, you may just find yourself liking The Last Witch Hunter.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 31, 2018

You can accuse Diesel of playing an immortal version of Dominic Cooper, his character from The Fast and the Furious films, and you would be exactly right. His character is dry and the line delivery flat.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 14, 2018

Last Witch Hunter is basically nonstop fun, with a fast pace and a total willingness to laugh at itself. And not only is there nothing wrong with that, there's everything right with it.

The Last Witch Hunter might be the worst video game adaptation not actually based on a video game

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 4, 2017

I was cursed with having to watch this buttock-numbing twaddle, through which you spend most of the time wondering which is worse -- the truly appalling script or the dreadful supporting performances.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 26, 2017

A movie like this really needs a more charming lead that can play the badness for laughs, like Bruce Campbell, but instead we're stuck watching Vin Diesel take his weekend LARP tournament very, very seriously.

| Oct 14, 2017

A bunch of bizarre-for-the-sake-of-being-imaginative stuff happens in The Last Witch Hunter, much of it making little sense, and some of it that probably made sense but I hadn't the energy to figure it out.

| Original Score: 2/10 | Aug 4, 2016

Although it's doubtful that The Last Witch Hunter will become a cult favorite like The Chronicles of Riddick, it's still a fairly enjoyable way to spend 98 minutes.

| Jul 19, 2016

Diesel is definitely not the kind of actor who can effortlessly coast through a film by dint of his rakish wit and charm. He needs a vehicle (ahem) that plays to his strengths. The Last Witch Hunter is definitely not such a vehicle.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 12, 2016

Even the considerable talents of Elijah Wood and Michael Caine cannot make this any more than another flick in which biceps give black magic a beatdown.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | May 24, 2016

The film's world-building suffers from too much ambiguity in the characters' motives and history (presumably saving them for a possible sequel), and the intricacies of the world are glossed over, making it all feel lifeless and fabricated.

| May 9, 2016

The often incoherent and repetitive plot doesn't have enough thrilling action to redeem its other shortcomings.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 3, 2016
