Before I cause offence with my opinion - please note I have never played nor read any WoW material...I know nothing of the video game, but heard it's a huge success with a world wide fan base. As an avid film critic, I was very surprised at how thin the storyline was & the poor choice in casting and dry acting. Visual effects were superb & the sets (real ones) werent too bad.I'm pretty sure there's a lot of die-hard WoW fans, who's agree with me when I say..."This film disappointed me"

This is probably the nerdiest film I have ever seen, which I find endearing as somebody who is a fan of franchises that hold such a shamelessly niche appeal. And on that point, my biggest praise I can give this film is that the aesthetics are completely loyal to how the games look and feel. However, this and the fairly competent action direction don't make up for the rest of this film feeling so empty. It has the most basic of plot-lines, the world-building doesn't expand much beyond the occasional fan-pandering, and an ending that is completely pointless beyond the set up for a sequel we will probably never see. I should probably hate this more than I do, but I left with less of a sour taste in my mouth as much as I did with an unanswered query: who is this for?! (apparently, a fair amount of people in China, according to the box office...)Viewed 8/7/2018

People either hated this movie or loved it. I am of the latter. I was entertained! enjoined the cinematography, soundtrack, acting was better than average. Yes, if you are of a slow mind and need lots of build up then you should have watched or read the lore, I did not and was still able to keep up with it. the movie is not a 4. for sheer entertainment it gets at least a 7 but because I am a huge fan of this type of movie it gets a 10 IMO.

I generally liked Warcraft. The acting and visuals were fine. I felt like I was stepping into a videogame. I thought the film stumbled in that it depended on the audience knowing the backstory of the games. They provided some of the information, but the overall plot is just absent. I still have no idea why Medivh did what he did. How did he become corrupted by the Fel? It doesn't make any sense. It is just setting up the next movie.
