The elf-dwarf love affair

Rating: 6/10 (12 June 2016)

First feeling after watching the movie: Have you seen the Hobbit trilogy?Remember the love affair between the dwarf and the elf?It felt a bit forced and without much background storyline,so every scene with those two you were like "next scene please".Well that's the plot of the warcraft movie..
Storyline/pace:4/10 Don't get me wrong,the story itself is pretty interesting but the way they showed it was like someone chasing them with a stick in order to reduce the run-time(which kinda happened).Warcraft has an enormous history and i get that it would be amazingly difficult to explain all the details,but unfortunately the movie fails to deliver even some of the basic stuff.
Graphics/cgi:8/10 This is the redemption of warcraft.If you exclude some scenes where the background is blurry,you can easily compare the graphic quality to Avatar's.Actually sometimes it goes beyond that..There are nearly no dark scenes,the details of the cities and costumes were spot on and the orcs were exactly as they should have been.
Epic feeling/battle scenes:7/10 There is a lot of action in this film.The choreography is fine,the battle scenes are good and the spells are amazing.Best portrayal of magic i have ever seen in a film.The thing is..For a movie called WARcraft, the war scenes should have been GLORIOUS!Good is a fine word,but not for a movie that we have been waiting for a decade
All in all/Fun factor:This is an entertaining pop-corn movie.You will not get get bored and there are 2-3 scenes that are excellent.No less but no more..If you are a fan of warcraft you will probably have a blast.If not,drink your soda,enjoy the beautiful cgi and try to go along with the plot
