I had a blast!

Rating: 9/10 (25 May 2016)

Just came back from the WARCRAFT movie premiere with my guild (germany).
First of all: It was fantastic! I felt being home every second of the movie. The settings, the scenarios and details couldn't have been better.
The CGI was except for 2/3 small scenes the best I've ever seen (Can easily compete with Avatar and Planet of the Apes).
The only criticism I have is that Travis Fimmel, who is really great in Vikings, kinda seemed not to fit into Azeroth (He actually stated in a interview that he felt very uncomfortable filming with green screens)
My favorite characters of this movie are Durotan, Orgrim and Khadgar. The villains were also very believable. Ghuldan was frickin bad-ass and our other beloved Warlords had there moments too!
There were some small lore-adjustments for the sake of better translating the game into the movie. But nothing game-changing or important! As a lore-expert (WoW Veteran, played the RTS series, watched all Nobble-videos and read most of the books) I was totally satisfied since Duncan included all major events in the movie sticking to the original game-lore! I just sat there waiting for the next major plot-point and Duncan delivered perfectly!
The movie was loaded with game references and eastereggs from the MMORPG and the audience loved it. Even the non-players were amazed...so don't hesitate bringing your friends that never tried Warcraft before!
The movie could have been slightly darker, but the fighting scenes were already borderline for the age-restriction that the movie got. The tone was similar to the Avengers 2 movie (partially humorous partially serious).
I rate this movie 9/10 as a Warcraft Fan. If I leave all the references aside that are made for Fanservice it is still a very solid Fantasy-Movie, so I'm going with 7/10 for regular movie-watchers!
-> Think the movie will settle at 8/10 overall
Have fun everyone. I'm waiting for the BluRay now and pray for a trilogy announcement
