An Epic Adventure Faithful to the Game.

Rating: 8/10 (20 June 2016)

My three sons and I have all played Warcraft and World of Warcraft since 2003 and had been looking forward to this film. I took my youngest son (19) on Friday night to see the film. In his words: "It wasn't just awesome, it was frigging (spelling changed) awesome!". I had to agree. On Saturday, I took my eldest son (27) to see it again and I loved it just as much the second time around. This film did not disappoint our family of WOW heads. It had everything, action, romance, humour, great CGI, music...the whole thing was great. The haters will always hate but we loved it and cannot wait to own it on DVD. The film is true to the games and we were immersed from the first scene to the credits. I thought all of the actors (most unknown to us) did an excellent job. What critics have to understand is that this film is based on 'Warcraft', not 'World of Warcraft', two distinctly different gaming platforms. The first is a multiplayer strategy game while the second is a role playing game where the player becomes a CGI character inside the game. The first would be much harder to turn into a film than the second.
