I expected less, got more.

Rating: 7/10 (10 June 2016)

tl;dr- Good mix of action and story, sometimes got lost on what is happening.
The character growth felt like it was meant to be the strongest part of the movie because it touches on so many characters. In the end only two characters are actually strong, Lothar and Durotan. All the other characters acted predictably, almost comically. This made the movie pretty boring, and was exciting when there was fighting or a scene with Durotan or Lothar story plot. These two characters made the movie worth seeing. The two were not unworldly strong but showed growth, pain, and strength from experience. Just because they are the main characters does not mean they should be the only characters with depth.
The CGI was very good, especially the Orcs. The designs of the Orc clothing, weapons and general culture (skulls as helmets or mantels, war paint, etc) is exactly how most people would imagine an orc. Humans were a little different. Duncan tried to capture the Humans as they are in the game, but this made them feel unrealistic and unrelatable. It worked with the Orcs because it is what is expected while capturing individualism and proportional to their body. The Humans looked like a comic book character that wasn't trying to be a comic book character by mixing realism with cartoon features.
The fight scenes weren't bad, but aren't memorable either. Typical hack-and-slash fights, some awkward stumbling and stabbing if paying attention, but the general fights are what the viewer comes to see. Large battles, people being thrown around, and overcoming the odds of the fight through skill vs numbers.
I would see this movie again, but isn't a great movie. When Blizzard spoke about the development of this movie as "A mix of 'Lord of the Rings' and 'Avatar'", it can be imaged in some areas how it was attempted to do both, but accomplished nothing great, but failed at nothing either.
7/10 for above average and well above my expectations for this movie, let alone a video game movie.
