I enjoyed it, but probably won't ever re watch.

Rating: 6/10 (8 July 2016)

My favorite part of the film was 'Legends of Azeroth' playing during the credits. I played WoW for a while and one thing I will say, with the video game and with this adaptation, the composers have done a great job.
It is a good movie. Not bad, though not great either.
There was too much special effects and CGI for me, like literally 60% of the movie was effects. But that's just a personal opinion.
The action was enjoyable, if a bit cartoony. The cinematography, costume design, setting design and weapons and armour was outstanding.
The dialogue was lazy and cringe-worthy at times, packed to the brim with sheepish one liners etc. The plot was dull and its obvious this movie is about da action dude. Acting aside, their were no compelling characters. Am I supposed to sympathize for the death of a son who I felt was literally just put there to die and add sorrow into the life of Lothar? Am I suppose to sympathize with Garona because she was given 17 seconds to tell us something poignant about here past?
The acting was quite good, but I feel they were held down a bit by the writers/directors/ and the time they had to tell the story. Lothar was portrayed well. Garona was decent but a bit over-acted.
As I've said it was a decent movie. It doesn't however deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as Lord of the Rings (I'm not drawing this comparison, but many reviewers are). Guardians of the Galaxy (Hey isn't Medivh basically that?) and Avatar are more in Warcrafts league.
