Don't believe the mass media, this is actually pretty damn good.

Rating: 9/10 (27 May 2016)

I came here to rate this movie simply because I want to go against the mass media hype of "this movie didn't live up to the standards it should have."
I am a Warcraft player since I was 14. I took my fiancé to see the movie with me. She has never even heard of the game franchise, let alone the movie.
We both loved it. Of course, I loved it more. But that's natural.
I felt everything was in place. the CGI effects were used awesomely. The costumes were perfect, right down to the minute details. The acting wasn't crazy special, but it was good enough for the movie.
The only thing that could have used a bit more work were the fight scenes. I'm not saying they're bad. They were great. But I felt a "fight of the film" was missing.
Still, I thoroughly enjoyed every single minute of this film. Further, it is a great start to what I hope to be a distinct movie chain.
So a word of warning, do not follow the comments of mass media. It is my own (personal) perception that most of these movie critics do not know what Warcraft is about. Furthermore, they try to compare it to Lord of the Rings. There are literally about three to four reviews comparing it to the Lord of the Rings movies. I don't get this, sure it's the same genre, but I find it insane that Lord of the Rings is the benchmark. It's a whole different playing field.
Then there are reviews saying it was too "serious." It was based on the damn story line. Of course it was serious, that's kind of the point.
Anyway, long story short, go watch this movie, and bring whoever you want (Warcraft fan or not). They will enjoy it too.
