This has gotten abysmal reviews, witch isn't surprising at all. Witch, instead of which.. get it??
The Last Witch Hunter is so drenched in CGI effects, it looks as if it's been dunked in a vat of lacquer.Peter Howell

I guess the most I can hope for is a fun guilty pleasure and lots of "You know nothing, Vin Diesel" jokes. 😆
Anybody seen it yet?

This has looked like complete shit since the first previews appeared back in April. Honestly a little surprised it even has 15%.
But of course the no-taste-goober thought is has some worth.

Flopping in a theater near you.
So, go me I guess. 👆
EDIT- That said, it would have been nice if this had actually been a good movie and had sold well. We're desperately low on supply of good fantasy movies in cinema.

It's amusing that you pat yourself on the back for being able to smell an obvious piece of shit. 😂 Like Rob said, this has looked like a turd from the start.

I think this isn't doing well because it really just looks very lame. And on the bright side, this movie flopping is allowing a great sci-fi film (The Martian) to remain at #1. So that's good.

There's been a handful of bad fantasy movies over the last few years.
Season Of The Witch. The Seventh Son. Those teen novel based films.
S'funny that none of these will still achieve B-grade grandness.
Its hard to achieve a great fantasy flick when the target is tweenies based audience. Script writers have to keep it safe, a lot of complexes stories for adults will be hard to understand by tweenies. If you want a more active story my suggestion would be to venture outside of the U.S... japanese fantasy has a lot to offer?
Saw this earlier. I'm indifferent about the movie because i think with a better written character and main protagonist this movie could have good. However, with Vin Diesel it's just..,meh. Perhaps, if Vin Diesel didn't play the same fookin character he plays in every other movie, it could have had a chance, but because he plays, "vin diesel" it really struggles to find any relevance.
I am a big fan of Vin Diesel but this movie has taught me that he doesn't choose to play different characters because of bad judgement but rather because he can't. It's still an entertaining movie worth watching on, netflix, but i would suggest avoiding paying full price+concessions at the theater. i have no reason to be, but i'm still disappointed with this movie. I was one of the few that hoped it was going to be better than it was.

No, it's a big...,meh. In other words, don't spend ten dollars watching the movie, but wait to spend $7 to rent it off of cable. although, ultimately, i'd recommend paying the difference to see it in the theater because you get the sound quality plus you get to eat a carton of ten dollar popcorn too. I, quite like the popcorn 😉
Other than that i don't know what i'm doing wrong here. I really like Vin Diesel and i think he is a better actor than he's been proving to be. If your're paying to see a supernatural movie with Vin Diesel in it, you're going to be entertained. If you hope for anything else you're going to be disappointed. That's not necessarily a bad thing..,

Oh, from the start I had no intention to spend full price on this. 😆
I will see it eventually, though. I always enjoy silly movies like this when I watch them for free as opposed to spending $11 - $17 on them (the price of tickets around here!). I spent full price on Fast & Furious 6... boy was that a mistake. It did make me laugh, though.
