Breck Eisner directed this Fantasy/Action film Watch Preview Cast: Vin Diesel, Elijah Wood, Rose Leslie, Olafur Darri Olafsson, Julie Engelbrecht, Michael Caine. Rated PG-13 for sequences of fantasy violence and frightening images. Running time is one hour and forty-six minutes.
An immortal witch hunter (Diesel) has spent centuries hunting down rogue witches, all the while yearning for his long-lost loved ones.
Whether you like this film will depend on whether you like fantasy films and novels. If you do (I happen to be one of those) it's an acceptable film. If you don't, there's no way you're going to care for this. The plot is typical of the fantasy genre with a few elements of horror mixed in. Production values are good and the CG effects are plentiful and good. The cast is above average for a film of this type, with Diesel, Wood and Caine being very well known, as is the Scottish, Leslie (if you watch Game Of Thrones, she was Ygritte). This is clearly meant to be the first in a series if it draws good B.O. results, but my guess is that won't happen even though the Halloween release date is excellent for a film like this. If you like fantasy films, it's worth your time. Otherwise, pass and wait a couple of weeks for the start of the holiday films.
There are no additional scenes once the credits begin. A large screen is preferable. Theatres/Times.
