The Video Game Curse is broken - Epic film, even for those not familiar with the lore

Rating: 10/10 (9 June 2016)

I went into this as an avid Warcraft fan but with low expectation for any video game to film port. I'm glad I did so, as this totally beat all my expectations and had me literally on the edge of my seat the whole time. Travis Fimmel was an excellent choice for Lothar, and the CGI is just stunning. The cities are recreated beautifully.
Very close to the original lore, the characters, costumes, magic, and battles make it feel like a new contender to The Return of the King, and we're only one film into what is surely going to be a long franchise. A couple of the actors could have been slightly more passionate, but the amazing job done with the horde characters completely makes up for this.
Not a fan of Warcraft? Don't worry, you'll still have moments that will give you goosebumps. Looking forward to the rest of the saga on the big screen.
