Good Movie (mild spoilers)

Rating: 8/10 (18 June 2016)

I've been playing WoW and Warcraft games for several years now and I really liked the movie. As I am also heavy into Warcraft lore, I was worried movie will make too many changes to it. Movie did make some changes, but they are little and of little consequence to the overall story.
Orcs are great, visuals are great, battles are great, environment is great. Lots of nods and eastereggs for the fans in the background.
I am glad this movie is good enough to bring us sequels which are definitely set up in this one. :D Things I didn't like are mostly in the Alliance camp. Btw, I play exclusively Alliance in WoW. Maybe Orcs came off better because of good CGI, but Alliance actors felt weird at some points. Mage actors were greatest problem for me. Young mage grew on me during the film, but the great mage wasn't so great. His robe was underwhelming and felt like he was walking around in his sleeping robe all the time, drowsy after waking up. Storywise it makes sense why would they make him like that, but the great mage didn't come off as great for me. Much better in the books where he comes off as drowsy but at the same time mysterious and very very powerful. Movie didn't do justice to his mystery and power. Magic effects felt great btw.
"Love" story isn't so "in your face" as I expected reading some reviews but I too think it was redundant.
Because of Alliance side, I would give it 8.
