A good adaptation

Rating: 8/10 (30 May 2016)

I never played the original Warcraft games, I never knew about them until well into World of Warcrafts second expansion, but I read up on the lore and like to call myself something of a lore nerd.
This movie stuck to it quite well but for the sake of storytelling purposes two things were changed and they were fairly big changes. Any lore nerd will notice them but honestly they weren't that bad.
They squeezed a decent story out of a game not known for being story heavy so I'm eager to see how the Warcraft sequels are treated if they get made.
Non-fans may have trouble picking up the name drops and references but fans will smile during the night ride through Elwyyn and a familiar little terror makes a cameo :P
