Give it a fair try!

Rating: Null/10 (4 June 2016)

It is funny that with 95% of all movies I usually agree with the bigger review sites regarding their quality but "Warcraft" turned out to be the one where I don't understand the feeding frenzy of negative reviews. Granted, it is no ground-breaking work like the "Lord of the Rings" but it is a very solid piece of entertainment which looks visually stunning at times. Not a single minute was boring, the story (though a departure from World of Warcraft lore as a die-hard fan of the game who watched it with me mentioned) never got cheesy and the acting was up to par. Maybe critics were looking for a work of art and simply got entertainment and that made them so hostile. As an average Joe of a movie goer I got my money's worth here and that is a lot more than can be said about other recent big studio productions.
