A great start for a movie that will turn into a masterpiece of a series.

Rating: 10/10 (12 June 2016)

Let me just start by saying this movie is beautiful, it is visually stunning.
The first thing that struck me with this movie was how lifelike the orcs were. The details were absolutely amazing, and you forget that these are CGI, as they are just so lifelike. On top of that the movie truly shows of Azeroth in the most visually striking way. The combat, the magic, and not to mention the costumes are nothing but perfect.
Now for the story and the execution of the movie. I have played the RTS games, WoW, and even read some of the lore, however it is several years ago, and I can't remember much. To me the story was a little thin, and I would have liked more backstories, to get a deeper connection with the characters. This is the only movie ever I wish was another hour long. I can understand that to some this movie is difficult to follow. But if you pay close attention, and remember faces you will never feel lost. The movie is executed very well in the time it uses, the action scenes were glorious. The movie found a good balance between battles and character interactions in order to best introduce the Warcraft world to the viewer.
I believe the movies needs more work in the future, but now after the first movie, it will be much easier tweaking the next to become the perfect game to movie adaptation. The reason for the vote 10 is because the movie left me wanting more, and truly entertained me. It is packed with action, drama, comedy and of course the greatly appreciated fan service.
I want more.
