"The Last Witch Hunter" (movie critique)

THE LAST WITCH HUNTER
movie poster

Yes, The Travelling Toe must admit that she and a Dear Friend did go see "The Last Witch Hunt" at the local Movie Tavern.  Well, honestly this movie will not win any major awards...am sure it will not even be incontinence, but we both thought it was well  worth the price of the ticket.

A very brief overview of the movie plot follows.

Kaulder, played by Vin Diesel, in a fight with the Queen Witch, is made immortal and becomes a witch hunter.  This event takes place around the Middle Ages. So then here we are about 800 years later and he is still hunting witches.  Personally, we were somewhat surprised there were still so many evil witches around in modern times, but apparently  there are!  Kaulder works for an organization called "The Axe and Cross" and is accompanied by a priest, who records his witch killing adventures and is called a Dolan.  Michael Caine, plays the current Dolan, the 36th and has decided retire. The new Dolan, number 37, who is chosen to follow Kaulder is, played Elijah Woods. 

Side Note:  No Hobbits were harmed in the making of this movie.  

As the story progresses, the evil Queen Witch is actually not dead and plans to unleash a deadly plague that will wipe out humanity.  Kaulder, with the help of Chole (Rose Leslie) who runs a witch bar, helps him to begin the hunt for the Queen.  Along the way there are many twists and turns to the story, so The Travelling Toe will just skip to the end.  Dolan 37 is not a good priest. The Queen is found and destroyed but it costs Kaulder his immortality. At the end, 
Dolan 36  and  Chole decide to join with  Kaulder to continue the fight as witch hunters. One last bread trail, as long as the Queen's heart is beating, Kaulder has immortality and as the movie ends, a faint heart beat is heard!  So...does he or does he not?????  Inquiring minds want to know!!!
