The film is alright.

Rating: 6/10 (21 June 2016)

This film is alright. By alright i mean it isn't great is another blockbuster film which doesn't live up to its expectation. The story is very fine. There wasn't much suspense nor was it very intriguing. The pacing is quite slow and there really isn't much to say about the plot as it is very simple.
The CGI however is great, the imagery shows mythological concept quite well. Most of the CGI was excellent and had quite a realistic feel to it and wasn't really overdone. Money well spent.
The acting is also quite bland. The actors show do not show much emotion and it looks to me they are not portraying their characters in the way they are supposed to. However, Toby Kemmel and Travis Fimmel were brilliant how they represented the characters. As a motion picture character, Toby Kemmel had a hard job show emotion and have an emphatic effect and he did this very well.
However, the problem with mythological films is that most films do not explain mythology or at least its origins. This is immensely key especially in warcraft as it has such a brilliant backstory with its many games yet fails to show this.
The film does show a character being developed later on in the next film foreshadowing something quite mysterious happening involving Durotans son.
The cinematography is splendid.Quite scrumptious if i may add. Films like Warcraft need to have great cinematography in order to capture key elements of the film. warcraft did a great job in this department.
Duncan Jones is a good director. Although with very few films under his belt, he is great director. Watch Source Code, the film is great and he did a brilliant job keeping the film together running everything smoothly. However, the lack of experience and only one film which was critically acclaimed to have done quite well, there was too much expected from him. Duncan Jones ruined this film and had a hard time keeping it together. I believe he wasn't the man for the job.
This film is yet another blockbuster film which isn't great and is another film with critical controversy. Hopefully the next film will be better after its intriguing conclusion of the first film.
