Warcraft Delivers! Sequels Please!

Rating: 10/10 (27 May 2016)

From the first, this film has had the weight of the world on its shoulders. A literal decade of anticipation and hype with the added pressure of invigorating an entire genre. No film can live up to those expectations under any circumstance. However, Warcraft delivers a truly remarkable cinematic experience. The CGI is the finest to date in any film. The story, while perhaps a bit to take in as a newcomer to the universe is well crafted and true to its source material. It would be silly to say that people unfamiliar with the world cannot understand the film. That is insulting to the audience and simply untrue. The action sequences are pulse pounding and gorgeous feats of cinematography. The acting rings true with some faltering here and there due to some clunky dialogue. Any fan of the fantasy genre must see this film! The magic is a beautiful and is expressed visually in a way we haven't seen on film before. Early negative reviews should be take with a mountain of salt. This film is a fine first entry into a new franchise that deserves sequel upon sequel in order to refine the writing and fully flesh out this world. Fans of Warcraft will be in heaven. New comers will be delighted to see a film that isn't a reboot, sequel, or prequel. Fans of action films will be on the edge of their seat. Fans of fantasy will be orgasmic. Just go see it!!!
