Surprisingly, it is Leslie who is the real star of the film. Kaulder and the new Dolan begin an investigation, eventually teaming up with a local witch named Chloe ( Game of Thrones‘ Rose Leslie) who helps them to discover a secret plot to resurrect the Witch Queen and unleash a new plague. After an attack leaves Dolan incapacitated, Dolan the 37th (Elijah Wood) steps up to take his place. In the present, Kaulder now acts as a witch hunter, with Dolan the 36th (Michael Caine) acting as his friend and mentor. It’s not an overtly bad film, but it’s not particularly good either.ĭuring a prologue set in the 1300s, Kaulder (Vin Diesel) destroys the cause of the Black Death, Witch Queen (Julie Engelbrecht), but not before she curses him with immortality. However, it also displays some of the worst qualities of those films as well, with stilted dialogue, poor CGI effects and flat characters. It is an origin story with plenty of fight scenes to enjoy, mythology to learn and an ending that clearly sets up future sequels. The Last Witch Hunter feels like a slightly more mature young adult novel adaptation.
