Surprisingly good, lots of potential but wastes too much to be amazing

Rating: 9/10 (30 May 2016)

Having lots of experience with warcraft previously makes me obviously biased but i'll be as unbiased as possible. The movie is fun too watch and rarely skips a beat and that's really its downfall in my opinion. Even if i know the overarching lore from before i would want to see many parts of it explained and visualized in the movie as many things comes of as pretty unmotivated.
There are definitely character development there but it gets rushed too fast not letting it sink in before the next plot device already begins. Some subplots also feels unnecessary and kinda detracts from the movie by making it a bit too cliché even though most of it is refreshing and kinda daring for a Hollywood production.
The visuals are great but i lack brutality while they are pushing the pg13 limit to its absolute max i would have preferred heads rolling over discrete sword through stomach deaths.
Final verdict is an above average film with great visuals and effects but not only relying on it as characters are fleshed out and and mostly not one dimensional.
