Good movie, too harsh reviews by some

Rating: 9/10 (14 June 2016)

I'm 41 and played through Warcraft3 RoC and FT and then WoW. Stopped playing for a few years now.
Went to see the movie with my wife. She absolutely hated the fact that I played WoW when we started dating so, "forced" as she was to see the movie :) , you can imagine she was expecting a dire spectacle. But she liked it, she was actually entertained with the movie and left wanting to see the follow up... and so did I.
The overall feeling of Warcraft was there, the tragedy of both sides of the tale was there as we end up sympathizing to both sides of the tale one way or another. The film could do with a few more minutes at beginning with a bit of character build up, but for me that's basically the only caveat.
Visually is nothing short than stunning, story wise it conveys the tragedy of both sides of the tale, has a lot of action. Its a real shame people aren't going to the movies and watch it.
