Warcraft ---- Official Review by Noah Roberson

Rating: 8/10 (19 July 2016)

(PM) Nice Popcorn Movie. Don't expect much
Movie Category: Action / Adventure / Fantasy
Warcraft is a high fantasy film is full of heart and emotional sensitivity. The heart that dosen't make it sappy, but the heart that makes it grounded and viscerally meaningful. The graphics and motion-capture special effects are beautifully realized, dynamic in it's detail. If there is a sequel to this movie, which is suggested in the film, I would see it, but could still be happy without a sequel.
WRITING Although this movie is based on a video game the overall story is rather pedestrian. The team of writers which included: (Chris Metzen; Duncan Jones; and Charles Leavitt, chose to be more pedestrian and simple, versus imaginatively nuanced and complicated. The dialogue isn't boring or lazy, it was just professionally average.
BEST & WORST PARTS The best part of this film is the emotional maturity given to the characters. To be able to connect on an emotional level with beings that resemble The Hulk is remarkable.
The worst part of this film is Paula Patton. Her character is suppose to be the magnetic element and nervous system for the movie. Unfortunately due to the limits on her acting abilities, I was stuck watching her and wondering how much better this movie would have been if Paula had more acting range. I give her credit for branching out of her comfort zone of romantic comedies. Trying new genres is good for actors, but what is also good for actors are acting classes and acting coaches. Ms. Patton needs BOTH.
Award Season Consideration Should be nominated for: ◦Best Makeup
