Conventional, dull action-fantasy drama

Rating: 3/10 (31 March 2017)

A horde of Orcs, migrating from their own land due to it being threatened, invade the world of Azeroth. There they encounter humans, resulting in a titanic struggle.
Conventional, dull action-fantasy drama. A basic linear plot, filled with sword-and-sorcery action scenes and expensive graphics. Characters have no depth, limiting the audience engagement, and the movie feels much like any other other fantasy movie, that is, much style, little substance.
Decent cast - Travis Fimmel (of Vikings fame), Paula Patton, Ben Foster, Dominic Cooper - but wasted on this empty movie. Considering the wooden acting required for this, I don't think this is going to help their CVs...
Saddest thing about this movie is that it is directed by Duncan Jones (David Bowie's son). After a great debut with Moon and a decent follow-up with Source Code, he now resorts to directing this crap. The money must have been really good because he certainly wasn't doing it for the awards or critical acclaim...
