Great for Warcraft / Blizzard Fans. Good for non-players

Rating: 9/10 (10 June 2016)

Went and saw this with the family last night. Out of seven of us, 3 (including me) were active and avid Warcraft fans. The other 4 had no back story or knowledge beyond just being exposed over the years. Everyone enjoyed the film, and we all agreed we wished we had seen it in the IMAX 3D since we saw it standard. If you go in with the expectation that this is going to be a movie based on a video game and its lore, then you will not be disappointed. If you go in expecting the next version of Lord of the Rings, you are setting yourself and the movie up to fail and should probably save your money and time.
On a side note, as player of all Blizzard games, it was awesome and I hope and pray they are successful enough to generate some sequels and build a film franchise. Remember, the critics hated Star Wars and other major films initially. Don't be so fast write off a movie because of what someone else says.
