Entertaining movie

Rating: 7/10 (7 October 2016)

"Warcraft" is an entertaining movie. With orcs and humans, magic and swords, it is tempting to try and compare it with "Lord of the Rings"--but since those movies were based on a treasured novel and "Warcraft" inspired by a video game, Warcraft's goals aren't quite as lofty. But it is a fun film. It was cool seeing King Ragnar from the "Vikings" in the lead role. And the scenes with the orcs are really amazing. It is pretty clear that the end of was setting up a sequel, so I will look forward to that. And at the end I even had an excuse to dust off some old David Bowie albums. Congratulations to his son, Duncan, for directing a fine movie.
