The first great video game movie

Rating: 8/10 (2 June 2016)

I have been excited for this film since the first trailer and even after the poor reviews I still was hyped for it and I really enjoyed this film. The premise of this film sees the orcs leave there homeworld to try and survive which causes conflict with the humans of azaroth. Travis fimell plays lothar the main human and he delivers a decent performance that makes you care about him. He has charisma to him and depth to his character as he tries to stop his world from being destroyed. Tobby kebbell plays durotan, the main orc chief who wants to see his people to survive without war with the humans. I liked his character because he goes against the typical orc because you can tell that he has depth to his personality over just wanting war. Ben foster plays the guardian of humanity and he does a great job, his character had awesome powers and his character developed throughout the film. Paula patton plays garona and she really delivered a good performance from a character who really thrived In this film as more then just a simple romance. Dominic cooper plays the king and even though he doesn't have loads to do I thought he did a pretty good job in this film. All the orc characters were interesting and it is done well enough to make you care about the orcs. The story has some decent drama to it on both sides that made both sides interesting and compelling. However, I would have liked to have seen more interaction between the two sides as at times it does feel like that the two stories are quite disconnected which hurts the overall story. The script has some great drama in it with the individual stories developing well. However, this film does lack any real humour in it which is disappointing for a film like this. The style is pretty breathtaking with all the cgi being seem less and making the action scenes flow very well. Overall this film is a great time that should be seen.
