Unexpectedly good videogame adaptation

Rating: 7/10 (18 September 2018)

My knowledge of Warcraft franchise begins and ends with knowing that humans and orcs are fighting each other. I considered Warcraft to be all around underdog - until I saw the movie. My original "Oh, I'll look and see..." turned to "I want sequel!"
Yes, it's infantile, naive, predictable and artificial. But... Do you want solid action? Here it is. Intimate moments? No problem. Heroism and epicness? Cool orcs? There you go. Do you want art/new LOTR? Sorry, this is a movie based on the high-cliché-fantasy videogame, not the work of Tolkien of 21st century.
Warcraft does exactly what it intends to do (transfer a videogame to big screen) in an enjoyable way, nothing more and nothing less. Pleasant surprise.
