A surprise hit, especially for the unknown!

Rating: 8/10 (26 May 2016)

Okay so I am a Warcraft fan and as I went in I already knew most of the original story and I had seen a ton of footage from trailers, short clips and whatnot. Now being totally honest, that was my first mistake.
But hey I didn't realize that until after the credits started rolling! As a fan I kept thinking and thinking and then thinking ahead of what was coming. I told myself before watching it that I would go in with a clear mind and just enjoy it as a new fantasy movie. Which I tried, but ... yeah.
Well anyway. AS A FAN I came out of it with very mixed feelings. I already knew from Duncan that certain things had changed, so that didn't surprise me. But what surprised me was the actual changes. One thing for sure: if you are a lore freak, you will probably dislike these changes A LOT.
However. I do think that these changes were needed to make the original story into a movie. Some changes were required to make the viewer feel this and that.
Let me move on about all of that now. I got so many things to say, but to keep it short, here is a list of flaws I felt during the movie: The movie is too short. This leads into the next point which is... its length meant that certain characters I would loved more of, didn't get enough screen time. They cut a lot of scenes which we had previously seen in trailers and such. Which means... we NEED a director's cut!
Yeah that's about it.
My fave characters from the movie was, surprisingly, Garona and Khadgar!
Oh yeah, the important thing which is why I wrote this. This movie will be most enjoyable if you are not a fan of Warcraft. Yeah, I am being serious! I watched this movie along with 2 friends. One is a fan, while the other wasn't. And guess what? My non-Warcraft friend loved it so much! And I am so happy for him for that and kinda jealous too! When I asked for scores, he gave it 9/10!
To end this review/reaction: we need a sequel. A certain thing in this movie brings the hype for a sequel to the clouds! And it needs to happen ASAP! Duncan get on with it! :D
