Good Movie

Rating: 7/10 (12 June 2016)

I have to be honest. I am a big Warcraft fan, and so I acknowledge that I am somewhat biased to the movie because of it. That having been said, the movie was great. The effects were on point, the visuals were amazing, and all of it stayed very true to the source material, with a few acceptable exceptions, and was a fun experience. That said, I understand why some people were disappointed. It feels like a full third of the movie is missing our cut out, and the pace seems to pick up to be far too fast towards the end. There is no denying the shortcomings, (which will hopefully be resolved in the directors cut)even for us die hard fans. Unfortunately, I understand why this was the case: They have to introduce a lot of this world to get to the point where the story will really shine, and that is regrettably, at least a movie away if they want a coherent, understandable continuity . It doesn't make up for those shortcomings at the moment, but it is necessary to get to the real story, and I hope that its success will be measured in what it will herald in the future.
