Just another proof that movie critics live in their own world.

Rating: 8/10 (10 June 2016)

All these negative critics do absolutely no justice to this movie. You can see it everywhere that the opinion of so called critics and the audience differs big time. This movie claims to be a fantasy movie telling an epic story and it is exactly what it does. And it does it in a very good way. The lore of Warcraft is a very rich one with several games and novels. They are tons of important characters and events which build the background to the story. Even if this is the beginning of it, its not an easy task to compress such a huge background into a time frame of two hours and make a movie which satisfy the warcraft fans and the people who have no idea about this fantasy universe. You cant satisfy everybody equally. Many fans simply missing their favorite aspects of the lore and newcomers are already overwhelmed with so many unknown places, characters and background. But this movie did a fairly decent job to find a middle ground. Many critics say you cant build up an emotional releations to the characters which i think depends on the point of view. If you have no idea about Azeroth and concentrate the first time you see this movie on all those strange places, characters then yes maybe you get overwhelmed. But if you focus on the basic principles which are survival, friendship, thrust, family, love and making the right decision than you can immerse very easy in the world of azeroth. This is not a socialdrama, a romcom or a society critic. This is a movie that let you dive in to a wonderful fantasy universe and entertains you. Its kind of a escapist movie which isn't a bad thing. I am glad that the audience that has seen this film likes it overall (around 80% likes on every major movie side.) So make up your own mind and don't let tell you from overpaid unproductive hipster critics what you should like or not. Very good fantasy movie with some minor flaws and big potential for really great sequels.
