Perfect cast and a good story

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The role of immortal warlock Vin Diesel would have better left to me ... because I have real experiences with these supernatural hybrid creatures.The action is meager, the locations are few, too many flashbacks with less variation, the whole story is too small and too darkened.Most Actors have not really much Charisma in this film which makes the entirety of the movie a little bit flavorless.

This movie is exposition, the movie. Most of it keeps explaining things to you. Fortunately is not Jupiter Ascending, so you actually find the mumbo Jumbo adequate.The plot is fantastic... and it is actually engaging. Some actions are performed because... why not? and it is full of deus ex machinas, but it is actually entertaining and keeps you guessing.The cinematography and Photography are meh, specially at the ending, because the movie goes too dark, you can't see anything, not even a sword in flames.The effects are pretty good, with the exception of the plague and the witch... pretty important elements in this movie.The characters are good. You like almost all of them and hate the ones you must hate but because they actually compel you to react that way at them.In general: an enjoyable film, but not enough to watch again.

Don't think about itThis movie kinda plays it obvious since we all know that if there's ever a world-ending plague it will have its origins in New York City.

From terrible editing to pacing of the script and scenes, this movie just feels so weird.I liked the CGI. The visuals obviously had a lot of effort put into them and Vin Diesel works fine in his role without overdoing it, but the movie never really delivers on what you're expecting from it (you know, a lot of witch-hunting).The whole world is populated with witches but our hero apparently takes humane approach and only kills those that "break the law" or some rule which you as a viewer don't give a sh*t about. While we're at it, using Vin Diesel as a action hero is fine, but making him deliver lines next to actors who actually act is painful to see (that butler from Batman especially). Also, Elijah Wood's character is just underdeveloped and the movie forgets about it until the "twist" (which won't be a shock to anyone). Personally I think they should've casted someone with more sinister face in his place.Then there are random cuts, which happen because they either re-shot those scenes without caring much for continuity or cause the editor was just high on cocaine. Either way, they are jarring. What is even more jarring is the speed with which the whole plot flows jumping from scene to scene without developing anything lore-wise or character-wise.Movie is so-so. Watchable if you have nothing else to see since CGI and action scenes are well done (though action isn't really that amazing).
