Movies based on Games :(

Rating: 6/10 (22 July 2017)

"Warcraft" is a mess and still one of the best movies based on video games made so far. I think no one really can explain why none of the various attempts of adapting succeeded. They all feel kind of dumb and constructed. Warcraft is no exception, although there was hope with Duncan Jones directing this movie. He made one great and one good sci-fi-movie before and is known as a huge fan of the game.
Some of the CGI in this movie looks surreal and Ben Fosters young but elderly magician didn't work for me. I liked the main orc character, but his character arc was wasted and felt poorly made. Nevertheless, most of the orc scenes felt like they were made for a game and not a movie. The main human character was flat and i did not buy him as a loving and carrying father. He simply seemed to be too young.
Everything sad, there where some unexpected story points and the general world was very well carried out. So if they expand on it, I hope for a better movie.
