Well made....but not perfect

Rating: 7/10 (12 April 2017)

Saw the Movie with low expectations. But I was pleasantly surprised. It's a good fantasy Movie, one which I will return to with in a similar fashion as how I return to movies like "Legend". No dragons, but the orcs and the depiction of magic is splendid.
From an artistic Point of view I salute the director, Duncan Jones, for making a Movie with some unexpected plot lines and developments. Important characters meets a bitter end in a much higher degree than usual. The shades of good/evil is fresh. Not all orcs are flat and evil, not even those that are evil. Not all humans are perfect and good. Some are evil, but not with a purely evil intent.
If I were to mention some negatives, I would add the obvious CGI, very visible even in things that ought not to be CGI.
The biggest flaw of the Movie is its obvious franchise-building purpose. The ending is not bad, no more Deaths were necessary - the Death of the main baddie would have been a problem even because that would have put the horde in a peculiar Place. But Gul'Dan should have made some additional move; as would Garona need. As it ends it's a bit too open.
So, if the Movie hadn't been titled "the beginning"; it would have been better.
