Great Movie

Rating: 9/10 (10 June 2016)

For the genre I thought it was a great movie, critics seem to always be looking for the next "Red Balloon," but often times people just want an escape and this movie certainly provides that. The complaints about CGI were a bit overblown as there was no other way to do a movie such as this without CGI and keep it faithful to the canon of Warcraft. This brings in the other thing about this movie, it has is a built in audience from all of Blizzard's Warcraft games and books, if it isn't loyal to canon those people will stay away.
The action is strong throughout, the characters hold your attention but do not overpower one another. Additionally, the writers did not make the movie a simple black and white Good vs Evil fantasy piece, there are intricacies to the conflict.
