Blizzard has broken the curse! Fantasy Galore!

Rating: 8/10 (11 June 2016)

The people that give this movie a low score are those who should not be watching the movie in the first place. Lets start with who Blizzard is targeting with this movie. Fans of the Blizzard Warcraft Universe and those who enjoy fantasy will LOVE this movie. Those who give it a bad score are those who critique it harshly for its few technical flaws such as multiple time lapses/fade-aways as a way to progress time quickly and a few faulty actors (most of them picked it up by the end or you got used to their acting as they grew on you). And yes the plot isn't a masterpiece, its a mixture of cliché and corny but it is still much better considering that it is from the Warcraft Fantasy. It also helps if you know what is happening and remember the names of important characters from the games as well as the different locations. For instance their is a scene with the gryphon landing in the stables when traveling to Stormwind which hit me hard with a case of nostalgia. (which i as a past Warcraft player had visited many times). Other than that the movie is a great viewing experience as the visuals blew me away. The epic fights, the landscapes, and the clear inspiration from mythology to references from all of their games. This movie is a MUST SEE FOR ALL FANTASY LOVERS. The movie leaves room for a sequel and considering that the movie focuses around Orks and Humans(if you haven't guessed that already from the trailers) i hope that we would be able to see more of the the different races from Warcraft in the future movies. Everything from Dwarfs to Night Elves to Draenei and to all the races in the Horde(and the newer races since i last played which was Lich King). Throughout the entire movie i had a massive grin, It had so much nostalgia for me and as a fantasy die hard and a video game lover it was amazing to see Blizzard pull this off with flying colors. Kudos to Travis Fimmel with his amazing acting as well i would expect nothing less from Ragnar Lodbrok :D i really hope to see him again.
