witch and hunter game

Text/ The construction of a modern worldview with the theme of witches and poems in dreams is so general in "The Last Witch Hunter". People can see the director's intentions, but the control of this theme seems powerless, and finally the movie is just a game of witches and hunters.

Combining the ancient and mysterious witch hunters with modern New York City, I have to say that there is a certain eye-catching gimmick in the blueprint setting, but when this gimmick unfolds with the promotion of the plot, the movie does not have a fascinating one. It can neither present ancient magic in a whimsical way, nor does the structure of the modern world view have a good way to create a refreshing shock. From the beginning to the end, the film can only be in the so-called 36th generation. The priest is still the 37th generation priest. In this proposition, there is a trace of epic sense of the world view. This disconnect between modernity and ancient times makes the movie's move of the witch hunter story to the present just a gimmick.


It is true that the production of the special effects of the film has the guarantee of Hollywood-level quality, and there is no shortage of remarkable points in the context of the lens, but all of this cannot turn the tide for this unusually mediocre hero film, and the proposition of saving the world has long been It's a cliché that can't get old, and the movie's unique witch setting, in a structure similar to a cycle, after repeated fights, it becomes difficult to mobilize the emotional waves of the audience. There is no climax at all. The biggest flaw of the movie is that it lacks the progression of levels. It cannot really be deeply involved in the battle of the plot. It is like a blunt and rigid game of fighting monsters, but it just makes people feel the emptiness of the plot.


"The Last Witcher Hunter" proves that under a blueprint that is already vulgar enough, all methods are but useless. You can't exact the audience in a film with a messy schedule and a mediocre look. Looking for the emotional resonance of the characters in the flashbacks, the director has been trying to find the witch hunter played by Vin Diesel in the movie. This tragic character precipitates to complete his ambition for the movie, but Vin Diesel comes on the one hand. It is said that this is not an acting school. On the other hand, after experiencing the unattractive beginning and the cobbled together of characters, such a male protagonist can no longer be recognized by the audience. At this time, the endowment of characters can only be It is because of the inability to change, and the abundance of emotions of a single character cannot save a lame world view.


The weak world view is the congenital deficiency of the film's original state, and a story of invincible heroes makes the film more like a game.

The Last Witch Hunter quotes

  • Kaulder: Do you know what I'm afraid of? Nothing.

  • Kaulder: [flying in turbulence] These are ancient runes. They can manipulate weather. Rain, wind, cold, heat... And you just jammed them together in your bag? You know what you get when you mix a thunderstorm with cool, moist air at 40,000 feet? It's simple science.
