Seen it. Loved it. Two thumbs of two.

Rating: 9/10 (26 May 2016)

So, Blizzard/Jones/Universal, basically, when is the next one due?
Went to see it in a group of five (oh yes, the jokes just write themselves, eh? Classic setup: Tank, 3x DD, Healer :-) ).
Loved every minute of it. Not going to spoil stuff, just a few remarks:
* it helps if you already have a general idea of what it's about. The really basic stuff should suffice, things like e.g.: wizards. knights. orcs. dwarfs. a hint of elves and space goats. vaguely medieval. magic that goes crackle.
* I didn't perceive the decoration/weapons/armor to be "plastic" or "fake looking".
* Liked the CGI. Level of detail: awesome. Occasional weirdness in the background. Noticed it, didn't give a hoot.
* damn, some stuff seemed to me pretty dark/gruesome for a PG-12 (German) movie.
* hated the 3D. Cinema's fault (bad L/R channel separation, maybe the glasses, the screen or the projector. Need to get this one again on 3D Blu-ray.
* German dub is OK. Some snarky dialogue to bring some fun into the overall setting caused the intended response from the audience. Definitely didn't feel overwrought.
* that story moves fast. Like, "don't get up to take a leak" fast.
* Director's Cut. Director's Cut. Director's Cut. See? Said it three times. Now it's got to happen. Eh? EH? ;-)
* I had no problem following the story. The others with me didn't have one either. It probably helped that we're not movie critics who have to take notes during the viewing.
* In some places **spoiler** (tavern after botched negotiations) **/spoiler** the change of settings and emotions seems a bit too fast.
* Didn't develop too much attachment to any one character, but "got" their motivations quite clearly. So what? Felt extremely entertained anyway.
* Uh, one more thing: Two guys with brown hair and knight getup? Yeah, sure, one has a crown, but  how am I supposed to tell them apart?
Ah, that's mostly just me nitpicking. Here's the resumé, speaking for five people ages 12 to 45: LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT. WANT MORE. NEED TO STOP GRINNING. WHY AM I WRITING ALL CAPS?
Phew. OK. Time to cool down.
There. See? Opinion voiced. It's mine. MINE. Want your own? Go see it.
Word of advice: You better like fantasy stuff that goes "bang" and "crunch" and "crackle", or WARCRAFT the movie isn't going to do much for you. If you do, if you were e.g. "Bored of the Rings" of people walking ways where eagles could've easily flown ;-) , then this one may be something for you. It's kind of, like  yeah, "Willow" (but different) on fast forward.
