The film tells that as the world's last witch hunter, Calder (Vin Diesel) was cursed by the black witch and gained immortality. Today, Calder lives in a church in New York, and joins forces with Dolan (Elijah Wood), the 37th-generation assistant sent by the church to slay demons. At the same time, the black witch is about to be resurrected after obtaining the secret technique, and the evil witches come out in full force in an attempt to release the super plague to wipe out the human race. The weak Calder turns to the good dream witch Chloe (Rose Leslie), with her help, the ultimate battle between Calder and the evil witch is about to start .
This is a standard Hollywood-style fantasy film, and the male wizard-hunter Calder lived 800 years, from the dark ages all the way to modern New York. His character is deep, melancholy, decadent, with an inescapable responsibility, but also with a self-destructive impulse. As a witch, Chloe, with the ability to lead others through dreams, helps the male protagonist fight against the evil black witch, and uses his love to rekindle the passion of the old hunter, making a lonely hero who was originally self-exiled, after countless After going around for a while, he finally found his true self, and while saving mankind, he also successfully saved himself.
If the film's theme and character design are completely out of the box, even The Hollywood Reporter called the film "superficial and outdated" and a film that "catered to mainstream audiences." Then it cannot be denied that the magical world of wizards and the fighting scenes in the movie are definitely highlights. It can be said that the scene and action design have reached a high level of entertainment, and the male protagonist Fan Di Searle's first attempt at Mohican with long hair and beard, and the vicissitudes of the medieval style is even more handsome, coupled with exciting music, it is enough to make people see blood boiled, worthy of 90 million US dollars A gorgeous blockbuster made with a lot of money.
The most pertinent film review I saw said: "The Last Wizard Hunter" is based on the Western "wizard" culture and demonology, combined with multiple designs such as history, magic, and reality crossing, to create a world that takes place between humans and wizards. The fantasy stories between the two have been moved to the contemporary urban stage. At the same time, combined with the animation style and game style that the current movie audiences are very fond of, a new world view system coexisting with magic and reality is built, allowing the audience to follow the storyline closely, like a dream in the Middle Ages. Travel back and forth for centuries with the different era scenes of the contemporary city.
After watching the film, I thought so too. At least, it's pretty good to be able to see such a film during the large barren period before the Spring Festival.
