I can only assume that this movie is better if you are a fan of World of Warcraft

I'm a little scared to post my review cause something tells me nobody is going to like it, but I got to be honesty, I'm getting a sense of what It must be like to gush over a Marvel Cinematic Universe Movies to non Fan Boys.
Like every human on the planet I've herd of the game, but I never played it, so going into this movie I knew nothing and it was up to the filmmakers to tell a story to a blind slate. Warcraft is extremely overwhelming. A lot of things are going on all at once. Not that it's so hard to grasp the story but it was hard to get into.
Everything just seem so chopped up and squeezed together. I never thought I would say this, but the movie actually moved too quickly, Something happens and than something else happens and the film gives you little time to process, but once again this may not be a problem for you Warcraft fans who are already familiar with the characters, but for the rest of us, the characters became so one dimensional from this process.
One true high light, other than Paula Patton in that slave warrior outfit, was the war scenes of War Craft. the CGI was not that great but they did have some very energetic battles that looked really epic.
Overall, like most Fantasy films, it looks like the first of an epic saga, that may be better if viewed as a whole trilogy or however many movies come out, but then again, the Fellowship of the Ring worked better on it's own for me than Warcraft.
I would recommended playing the game before watching the movie in order to get some satisfaction out of it.
