Warcraft - Fun to watch, easy to follow, fiancé approved

Rating: 10/10 (13 June 2016)

Warcraft is not LOTR. Warcraft is not Inception. Warcraft isn't a cerebral gem that inspires theoretical dissection of every line, scene, and character. Warcraft is an easy to follow, action packed, CGI spectacle that entertains for two hours.
My fiancé doesn't play video games, had no prior knowledge of Warcraft "lore", and loved the film. She particularly loved the fact it wasn't the length of a LOTR movie, and that the story was very easy to follow.
Too often movies try to be clever, catching the audience off guard, for what is supposed to be a mind-blowing plot twist. And too often those movies fall short, often wasting hours of your time. Warcraft has an unapologetically simple, in your face plot-line that shows you exactly where its going. And getting there is a lot of fun.
Overall, Warcraft is a fun movie for fans of the game and/or someone who is looking for fairly mindless action packed fun.
