The screenplay, by the writers of “Dracula Untold” and “Priest,” is loaded with references to a complex mythology that could make this a fascinating world, if it were developed and those references were explained. A collaborator witch named Chloe (Rose Leslie), who is a Dreamwalker (it doesn’t matter), is also lending a hand. His new one, Dolan 37 (Elijah Wood), is going to help him solve the murder of Dolan 36 (Michael Caine, who was around just long enough to be an exposition-providing narrator). He’s assisted in this by a priest called a Dolan. (Witch, curse thyself!) Today, he travels the world (but mostly New York City), arresting witches who disobey the rule not to use magic against humans. Which is always a great motive for making a movie.ĭiesel plays a lumpen marble-mouth named Kaulder, on whom the Witch Queen placed a curse back in the 13th century that he would never die. Oh, and the film desperately, DESPERATELY wants to be the beginning of a franchise, too. Instead, director Breck Eisner ( “The Crazies,” “Sahara”) opts for chaotic action and half-baked digital effects, all in the service of a thin story with no interesting characters.

“The Last Witch Hunter,” starring inarticulate golem Vin Diesel as an immortal Catholic tasked with keeping the peace between witches and regular folk, fails to be either. I hold movies to the same standard as people: if you can’t be good, you should at least be fun.
