Average movie at best

Rating: 3/10 (21 May 2016)

I gave this film one star the film is mediocre at best. The effects are top notch, but that's about all that's top notch in this film filled with clichés and fantasy tropes. The action sequences are meh, the acting is bland and the music is generic. The plot for this film is supposed to be based in Warcraft, but they've changed much of the story to fit what they'd prefer to do(or make things look cooler). That's usually mistake #1 in these processes, but I'll go ahead and blame those thought Warcraft should be made into a film in the first place. The lore itself was always extremely hack and essentially stolen from other sources(with a few twists so they didn't get sued). Then you add in the people that they cast so they could spend on CGI and it was a recipe for disaster from the start. What Blizzard should have done is made straight to Netflix CGI movies using high quality VO talent. Instead they made a mediocre fantasy movie that never really works. Only see this movie if you absolutely have to have a fantasy fix that week and haven't seen any good fantasy movies... ever.
