In fact, he fared much better as Riddick, at least he had an identity as the stealthy assassin. Lastly, Vin Diesel himself isn't that convincing even though he's groomed for superhero epic. At some points it even looks like some cop procedural series with awkward buddy gimmick. This is not on Vin Diesel alone, the movie has good acting prowess with Elijah Wood and Michael Caine, among others, however the characters are nothing more than stereotypical eccentric magicians or familiar villain. This rushed pace is also translated to the characters, which appear like random strangers meshed together and suddenly given strange development. Underneath the cosmetic spells, the production value feels simply average, far too similar to Constantine from last decade. Visual is mostly crafted with CG, and the action is mediocre with crude choreography. It doesn't have to be Hellboy 2 level of sophistication, but the lore available feels terribly underutilized. The screenplay could've showcased the mythology with calm pace and imaginative scenery, yet the movie abruptly shifts between uninspiring random clubs, which makes the entire environment seems generic. Other movies, even comic books and video games have used this premise to captivate audience effectively.

This is a missed opportunity since the occult version of modern city is teeming with potential. It feels like a rushed tour of New York and none of CGI view made lasting impression. Straight from the first act, the movie tries to jam as many expositions as possible while panning through myriad of hidden exotic locations practically every five minutes. The Last Witch Hunter tells the story of Kaulder, an immortal who hunts witches for centuries. However, in his recent fantasy escapade, he's bogged down by the same flaws from Constantine and even Van Helsing far too much stylish fireworks and lacking any real focus on narrative. From the famous furious action series, sci-fi, family comedy and even the lesser known crime drama, he's a legitimate blockbuster draw. Say what you will about Vin Diesel, the guy has performed a variety of roles.
