Probably the worst film I've ever seen

Rating: 2/10 (28 June 2016)

The fact that this film currently has a 7.5/10 on IMDb genuinely astonishes me. What we have here is what you get when a film is made by a group with a good budget and absolutely no idea how to make movie.
The scenes are short and disjointed, so much so that comprehending the story line is like being on a speeding train, trying to observe the passing landscape through a hole the size of your fist. Blizzard's story telling has always been shoddy, and this film is no exception.
The special effects are inconsistent. Yeah, the orcs look pretty cool, but so many other effects look as cheap as the guy next door's LARP costume (the night elves standout in my memory as horrendous.)
I'm a long time Warcraft fan (WC2 → WC3 → WoW,) and the references to the games were so thin that it hurt. This is a film with absolutely no subtly. Yeah, that's the murloc sound. Hilarious.
Over the course of two hours, there were very few redeeming qualities. For the most part, it was an absolute affront to the senses and sensibilities. Anyone who appreciates a film for its writing and cinematographic qualities should avoid this film like the plague, or risk being enraged and offended at the butchery Warcraft does to these arts.
If I wasn't with friends I would have walked out of the theater.
