I'm confused with the ending, help please. (TOTAL SPOILERS)


I couldn't figure out the whole immortality thing by the end of the movie.

First the witch sticks her hand in his chest and gives Kaulder immortality.
Towards the end of the movie, she sticks her hand in his chest again and takes it back, so now Kaulder can be hurt and he's not immortal.

Then at the end, Kaulder gets severely hurt and shot multiple times, he's about to die. But he wakes up or something, and can still attack the witch. He takes her out, and he should be dying, except he's not dying. But then he looks over and sees the witch heart still beating. So he gets up and is about to destroy the heart, but the girl says, "No, you'll die!"

What? He already lost his immortality, why would he die if he kills the heart? The witch already took "the curse" back and made him mortal again. Destroying the heart shouldn't matter at all.

So at the end, Kaulder keeps the heart, so he can stay alive and keep on fighting evil. So that means he's immortal again somehow?

None of this makes sense. By the end of the movie, can he still be hurt and is he still immortal, or what? His old British buddy makes a joke about not getting younger, which implies Kaulder is getting older. So he's not immortal, so why does the heart matter at all.

Did you miss that his vains started to glow when he threw the sword at the witch queen? I guess because the witch had already transfered her immortality to him once before he got it back when she "died".

His immortality is linked to the beating heart. If it stops he is mortal again. He needs to stay alive for many more generations because there are worse big bads out there just waiting until he is no longer around. I don't understand the whole being able to fight a witch after being shot like five times in the chest, but hey... magic and *beep*

His face wounds healed after he killed the witch queen. Which would indicate he was immortal again.

If you are getting this on Bluray, watch what happens when the 'shockwave' from the witch queen's death hits him. It clearly shows his veins starts glowing at that point. I'd say he got the immortality back from that shockwave thinge..

Yeah, thanks, everyone. Missed it the first time, but I see it now.
