#What service can i watch the last witch hunter on movie#
When the movie adaptations of what are often called the best fantasy books of all time, the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy, were released in the early 2000s, they were called a risky bet by many in Hollywood, but the first two “Lord of the Rings” movies were the second-highest-grossing movies of the years in which they were released and the final movie, “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King,” became the highest-grossing movie domestically of 2003. While it involves the Big Apple, “Hunter” features fantasy elements, and according to “Hunter” director Breck Eisner, Diesel’s performance in the movie was influenced by his affection for the fantasy Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.Ĭritics aren’t loving the movie so far – Washington Post writer Michael O’Sullivan called the film “dully derivative,” while Los Angeles Times reporter Robert Abele found it to be “loud, convoluted… artlessly restless, exposition-dialogue fantasy-action slog” and New York Times writer Andy Webster called it “a smorgasboard of empty calories.”īut the mere fact that it’s being made shows how big fantasy has gotten in pop culture over the past decades. Michael Caine, Elijah Wood, and Rose Leslie co-star.
“Hunter” tells the story of Kaulder (Diesel), an immortal "witch hunter" who must stop his enemies from going after the population of New York City.
Following the success of the 2014 comic book movie “Guardians of the Galaxy” and this spring’s “Fast and the Furious” installment “Furious 7,” actor Vin Diesel stars in the fantasy movie “The Last Witch Hunter,” which is now in theaters.
