True to the Game & Enjoyable

Rating: 8/10 (27 May 2016)

Its a good movie which is true to the game, I was entertained for the most part through out the film along with my other three friends, there is some slow points as it is in all long movies but overall it was enjoyable. Two of my friends had never experienced the World of Warcaft game before and believed it was a good watch from an unbiased view. I believe people who have never have played the game will have to go in with an open minded because its not in any shape or form Lord of the Rings!
People have been slamming the amount of CGI in use but how else could they have done it? The scenery was true to the game and I personally enjoyed the CGI. We all thought the Orcs aesthetics where done brilliantly along with the magic from Medivh. Honestly, I thought there was some dodgy exchanges in some scenes between the characters! at times a little rushed or leaving you wanting more, especially between Lothar & Garona.
Warcraft is a good film and a solid introduction to its world, not by any means fantastic, but its left completely open for another film which I believe is a good thing! Hopefully we will see another one with a more open view of the world and its lore!
