Epic Fantasy lives again

Rating: 10/10 (8 June 2016)

Once again, critics have zero clue what makes a good movie. They all give this poor reviews, and yet reviews from the normal money paying populace, are overwhelmingly positive about this film.(7.9 here on IMDb for users vs 31/100 for 'critics'). This is an amazing movie.If you are fans of Warcraft, you have to see this. If you are fans of Lord of the Rings, you have to see this. If you are fans of fantasy in general, you have to go see this. If you are fans of action movies or heck, any type of movie (except for those independent art house crapdramas the critics swoon over... you won't like this.) you have to go see this.
The video game movie curse is officially broken. If you were ever a fan of the Warcraft series, then you will be very happy that this movie does justice to the source material. I loved the fact that in scene after seen, I saw locations instantly familiar to me as I have traveled Azeroth for the past 12 years. When they showed a shot of Ironforge, I was instantly transported back to 2004 when my little gnome mage ran up the hill and got his first glimpse of the gate to the dwarven capitol. I stood there taking it all in then and I drank it all in then.
But you don't have to know Warcraft to enjoy this movie, as this is the beginning of the saga. You can come along on the journey that millions of us have taken once before, and we welcome you.
