I wanted Warcraft

Rating: 10/10 (28 May 2016)

When I went to see this movie I wanted to experience Warcraft.
I wanted to experience Warcraft-game-trailer-like action, spells and magic, Blizzard humor, beautiful scenery of Azeroth and its kingdoms, the old heroes of Warcraft, well-equipped and skilled human warriors vs brutish bloodthirsty orcs, a worthy lore adaption, and much more...
And what did I get? I got all of it! If you like and understand fantasy games and movies, well, you're gonna have a blast. I see a lot of poor reviews from "professional" critics and all I can think is; they do not speak for the communities that are passionate about medieval-fantasy and gaming (or Blizzard/Warcraft) at all. They are so far off.
To be honest though, I wouldn't actually give the movie 10/10 if it weren't for 2 things; the way it is executed and my passion about Warcraft, gaming and fantasy. There were a few things in the movie that I felt were slightly lacking. I mean, I would still have given it 8 or 9. I raise the score to 10 because of how the movie is executed. The fight scenes and battles were truly amazing, even though they're not as epic as they could have been. To make up for that, the movie provided an epic utilization of magic and spells - I was blown away by this! With everything considered, including that it is a game-to-movie adaptation, I can't help but to feel that it is somewhat revolutionary. To me it was an unique experience, just like when I watched movies/series such as the Matrix, the Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones for the first time. I was entertained on so many levels. I got goose bumps and teary eyes several times throughout the entire movie.
I highly recommend it. Go watch it! 10/10 from me!
