Surprisingly not bad

Rating: 6/10 (15 June 2016)

I've played MMo's however lasted all of 10 minutes in World of Warcraft however after Duncan Jones, David Bowie's son and director of Moon, got handed the reigns I was interested. Then the movie got released and slammed. When I got around to watching it was anticpating something awful. 5 minutes in I was to my girlfriend "god this looks like the video game its pandering". Me and my girlfriend who's not really into this kind of thing then got pleasantly surprised. Thanks largely to a decent cast, the charismatic Fimmel, Patten and underused Cooper who's lines were as bad as his hair, Warcraft manages to reveal a bit of the bones of a decent director at the helm underneath all that Warcraftiness. Its steeped in it's Warcraft clothes but still manages to rise a little bit above the generic fodder it should have been. I doubt Jones's would be back for a sequel but for fantasy fans an enjoyable movie.
