For a movie based on a MMORPG this is alright

Rating: 6/10 (8 September 2016)

For a movie based on a video game this movie is alright. It isn't a great movie but for a movie based on a video game it's a okay watch although that ain't saying much. I am not a WOW player so I didn't know a lot of the key characters and elements that are in the game. I however thought it's a watchable cheesy fantasy movie with passable drama and passable CGI action sequences. Most of the well known actors just didn't seem to give a crap and it seemed like they were in it just for the paycheck. Although Paula Patton put in a lot of emotion and effort for this role as the half-human half-orc. Travis Fimmel didn't seem to give a crap about this role at all, like he is in his interviews. The guy seemed to have tried harder in the TV show Vikings over this. I guess since it's a movie based on a popular video game he didn't want to care since he probably isn't a gamer himself. Personally I don't think they should have used real actors and used CGI characters with motion capture instead. Like in "Kingsglaive" which came out recently and in my personal opinion is the better fantasy film. The CGI character even acts better than the real life actors in this one. Overall, if you are into MMORPG or a fan of WOW you will probably enjoy this for what it brings. While it tries to stay close to the truth to the source material...Or at least I think. But to others that aren't even into fantasy as well should probably pass on this one.
