Warcraft: The Beginning has positive aspects, but there are things that makes it distance itself from a great video game adaptation.

Rating: 6/10 (4 July 2019)

Warcraft: The Beginning may not be the movie that broke the curse of horrible movies based on video games, but that doesn't mean it's bad and it deserves the praise on the things that did right. It's a movie that was made with love and care not only to satisfy fans of the video game series, but also to introduce newcomers to the world of Warcraft and everyone after seeing it will probably be interested to know more about the lore that was created. You can tell that Duncan Jones really did know what he was doing and cared while making the movie, but he could have done way better with the script; the human story; the music; the cinematography and the human characters (although King Llane Wrynn, Medivh and Khadgar were the best), while the orcs were the most interesting and the ones, who were given more development.
