Of course, "The Last Witcher Hunter" is not a simple monster-killing movie. What the screenwriter Corey Goodman did, just like Margaret Weiss and Tracy Hickman remodeled "Dragon". Like Dungeon, which established the "Klein" magic system of "Dragon Gun", it gives the fantasy world where wizards and hunters coexist three shades of good, evil and neutral. balance. The only difference is that the heroes in "Dragon Gun" are ordinary people who are looking forward to being recognized by the public, while Calder in "The Last Wizard Hunter" is a more legendary and fatalistic hero.
Like the "Mummy" movies, "The Last Witcher Hunter" sets a time corridor spanning 800 years, closely linking history and the present world. Calder's initial appearance seemed like someone from some death metal band—with a bushy beard and hair on his head. Together with a team of witch hunters, he attempts to destroy the witch's lair in the snowy mountains. But after a brutal battle, all his companions died. Before killing the witch, Calder was cursed with immortality by the other party. He was destined to suffer the pain of losing his wife and children and be alone forever. 800 years later, Calder is a pompous New York man, but his mission isn't over: after the 36th slayer priest is killed, Calder must join hands with a fledgling successor to solve the conspiracy. In the process of discovering evil magic, Calder encounters a witch named Chloe, who can find memory clues through dreams. At this time, the contradiction of identity was put in front of Calder again.
As a genre film, "The Last Witcher Hunter" does not make the film into a game, it grafts together various commercial film elements as much as possible to form a magical film texture. From the perspective of the scene, it has a dark and crazy tone compatible with visual blockbusters such as "Seventh Son" and "Harry Potter". The introduction of the film is very rare in the history. From the perspective of narrative rhythm, every important action scene is connected by suspenseful plot points, and finally the characters' history is linked together. It's also about fighting monsters and blood explosions. This film largely avoids the out-of-control rhythm caused by "Hansel and Gretel" for stylization.
The film used a cost of nearly 90 million US dollars to build a bizarre and special world, but what is more eye-catching than the vision is undoubtedly Vin Diesel, who is at the peak of his career. Perhaps because of the bald head, Diesel was once regarded by Hollywood as the successor of Bruce Willis, but in fact, from "Interstellar Legends" and "Extreme Agents" to "Fast and Furious", Diesel More and more like the action star of his prime, Stephen Siegel—with a seductive and attractive confidence in his bones. In "The Last Wizard Hunter", although Calder played by Diesel is burdened with unbearable life tragedies, he does not deliberately show a sense of entanglement and struggle. And adventure, to implement the character's character direction. Calder is not an aura-ready hero or a battered man who needs sympathy, he's somewhere in the middle. If he turned his mana into claws, he was Wolverine.
"The Last Witcher Hunter" isn't a movie that tries to go to the extreme in terms of innovation, but it's complete, interesting, and like "Underworld" and "Dracula's First Year," it has established its own system. Entertaining and entertaining enough for action fans and gaming fans alike, Vin Diesel, the undead, is where the movie really shines.
