I seem to have a soft spot for films like this, most things with magic and swords appeals and this one did, glad I got to finally see it tonight after getting it on here on HD. The plot is interesting, no really pretty witches casting spells in this, proper hags for a change as the villain in this, a horrid looking plague witch bringing pestilence to the land and seems can't really ever die, a bit of a problem no? :p Action scenes are a bit messy but still fun to watch, I liked the cast, the CGI was pretty, the dialogue was cool, Caine's line 'can't do that with an Ipad' after squashing one of the plague flies with his bible had me snorting with laughter, there weren't many laughable moments but I don't think that is a problem as the rest made up for it. All in all, an enjoyable film, good to relax, kick back, eat snacks and enjoy Vin Diesel kicking butt taking down the bad guy. :)

Oh Dear. This is one of those movies that everyone associated with it clearly only got involved for the pay cheque. Vin Diesel makes a tree look animated, and Michael Caine might as well have delivered his lines by text. Avoid at all costs!

If you got drawn in by the image and basic premise this far then just watch it, you'll enjoy it. Fun escapism with Vin being fairly charismatic. No academy awards and a couple of dodgy lines but it's well short of being bad.
