Do Not Listen To The Critics' Reviews

Rating: 9/10 (25 June 2016)

OK so I've inconsistently played World of Warcraft since I was like six years old (starting up new characters every few years) and I was so excited when I heard about this movie! Then the movie comes out and I'm about to go see it so I check what reviews it's getting from the magazines and such and I'm really not surprised. I didn't know until afterwards that it was actually based on the Warcraft game and not WoW, but I knew anyways that the critics would immediately put this movie down because it was based on a game and it apparently has to be Oscar-worthy to get any positive feedback. Anyways, don't let what they say stop you from seeing it because it's awesome!! The main pull is the effects!! Oh my good lord, the effects are unreal and I would watch the movie just for that. I find that whole world super cool and mystical anyways but on the big screen like that it was amazing. I couldn't find a ton of connections between the game and the movie, but a little ways in I realized it was an actual origin story and not just the game's story that it tells when you first start an account. Storyline wise I really did like it, none of it felt really forced or anything. My one big negative about the movie was the fact that they had to put in an unnecessary romance like all movies apparently have to have. Besides that, I want to see the next one because the ending was good and seemed to set up the chance for more movies. tl&dr: Insanely good. Even if you don't know what WoW is, I recommend seeing it.
