WarCraft - a good movie but not a great movie

Rating: 8/10 (28 May 2016)

I've read articles stating that critics disliked this movie. I've read user opinions who liked this movie. I've played WarCraft 1-3 and I very much liked those games, but never played WOW. So I've had minor (?) experience in this universe and I was curious about it.
When I watched it I've seen minor issues including too much motion blur in distant shots when the camera was panning (which will probably be fixed by the Blu-Ray release or IMAX), and I didn't like those shots from the ground level. Those are just not good at all.
However I liked the story, the characters, dialogues, and the king's final command in a very tough situation. The magic duels and the overall use of magic is pretty good in the movie. Maybe some of the humans' fighting sequences could be better. All in all I'd say this is a good start and I'd like to see how the story continues.
