I absolutely loved this film (loved it)

Rating: 10/10 (16 October 2016)

I can't get enough of this film and I am devastated that it probably won't get a sequel. I played WoW for many years from vanilla to Pandaria but the game lost it's appeal for various reasons so I abandoned it. I saw the film being promoted earlier in the year but then I forgot about it and before long it was a distant memory. This weekend I was staying at a hotel in Sydney and they had Warcraft on their complimentary movie selection. My husband and I (who I met on WoW 10 years ago) watched 15 minutes or so and then went out and it was all I could think about. I couldn't wait to get back to the hotel and see more. I felt so much nostalgia upon seeing iconic characters (Khadgar <3) and places like Stormwind. I acknowledge the film was rushed and wasn't entirely true to lore but it's obvious that the producers were trying to appeal to the masses so in that context I think they did a brilliant job.
I wish that I (and others) had supported this film and promoted it more. The film didn't flop in the US/Oceania because people didn't like it, it flopped because no one went to see it. There is an unjustified bias from critics - the disparity between the films rating on Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb is indicative of this. In summary the film is an absolute must see for all WoW fans - action, comedy, fantasy, love, loss what more do you need! I'm downloading WoW again as I type this because I need something to fill the void.
