So I saw this tonight, and it was a lot of fun. It's very much a D&D style movie, albeit set mostly in the modern day (just in a world where there's magic and mages). It's an entirely new world/series, based apparently on one of Vin Diesel's own old D&D characters, and while it won't be winning any Oscars, and has been dissed by most mainstream critics, I was entertained.
Short version - this is Riddick in Fantasy rather than Sci Fi. If you like those movies, and like fantasy, worth seeing.
I knew I was missing a movie... I am making a mental note to skip my plans for gaming tonight and to go see the movie after I get through some of these edits and tidy up my room.
Best,
Arya
Postscript: I already spent eight hours straight on the task. Sleeping for now.
I am a REALLY hard film critic, and I will say I loved the FUCK out of this movie. You can tell a lot of effort and passion went into this, and Vin Diesel actually gives a great performance in this. I give 'Last Witch Hunter' a solid 7/10.
