Another disposable product

WHAT IS GOOD
Thank You Blizzard for showing how Orks and Dwarfs should be done in the movie. Finally!!! Orcs are huge, much bigger then humans. Orcs can lift 500kg with ease. Seeing an orc throwing a horse was a brilliant detail. Dwarfs are almost as strong as Orcs are, with huge shoulders and arms. It was ridiculous (and offensive) to see Orcs and Dwarfs in Peter Jackson movies, but Blizzard nail it. I enjoyed watching every second of the movie with Orks and Dwarfs.
It's great to see they didn't forget this movie should be fun to watch, so they add a dose of humor in it. Polymorph someone to sheep was a brilliant detail.
Durotan is the most impressive digital character in movie history so far. His character is well built through the story, his acting is sincere, CGI is great, without uncanny valley effect. It looks more real and act more convincing than real actors.
To make it short:  and the Oscar for best VFX goes to Warcraft.
WHAT IS BAD
This movie was made as a disposable product. Main aim of the movie was to grab public attention and setup new movie franchise and all other isn't so important. I really hate to see somebody spends great time doing something disposable. It could be a great movie and still reach movie commercial goals.
The main quality of some feature movie are characters. Audience should be interested for the story, should care for characters. Main concern for director should be to make characters convincing, to focus on this goal all cinematic tools (picture, motion, sound, story). Characters should build the story, not vice versa. With exception of Durotan, main characters aren't very good. This could be achieved with short extensions of main story, like in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012), which I really missed in Warcraft. I really missed situations in which all the main characters would show their true character and motivations.
Two characters were ridiculously poorly thought out - King Llane and Kahdgar. During their performance I felt like watching a kindergarten school play.
King Llane character setup and his sacrifice should be prepared through the movie. The war is horrible event. It's hard to put your life at risk and go to battle. And it's almost impossible to sacrifice yourself. Especially when you are the king and have all the army to die before you do. There aren't any real motivation behind this character.
Kahdgar should be a talented wizard, a great hope for mankind. But this character setup and acting is also poorly performed. Blizzard have so many talented young people, they just needed to look around and see how this character should be built: highly competitive, passionate, reckless, hungry for opportunity to show how good he is. He should be a guy with great skills but without experience, with ideas which put him in situations over his head.
Blizzard came this far as a company by making top products, so I'm hopping they can do the better job in the next movie.
