I never loved LOTR, nor did I play Warcraft, but I love this movie!

Rating: 10/10 (4 June 2016)

I went to the cinema without expecting much, although I really enjoyed the trailers. I love fantasy flicks with a good storyline, strong performances and with some action in it. This movie has it all. As stated in my title, I never played the game, so I can't judge whether they did justice to the game, but on its own it is very entertaining. Can't wait to watch the sequel. I watched it in IMAX 3D and it was worth it, although I don't always enjoy wearing 3D glasses ;) I assume I belong to the minority, but I never enjoyed the Lord of The Rings trilogy, and since I read a few times that Warcraft shares some similarities to that trilogy, I wanted to clarify my opinion to this. For me Warcraft isn't that boring and protracted ;). It has more action sequences and I really liked the CGI in that.
What I should also mention is that the choice of casting Travis Fimmel was a fabulous idea, because for me without him this movie would be only average. I admire directors who don't cast the wannabe A-list actors who look good, but can't act... Duncan Jones doesn't seem like that, as the actors he chose for Moon (2009) and Source Code (2011) were really good. Hope to see more indie films directed by him in future.
