just boring

Rating: 5/10 (14 December 2016)

As a long time Warcraft player (WC1, WC2, WC3, WoW, HearthStone) I have to say this movie is just plain boring. I know the Warcraft background lore but I was expecting a quality movie. Instead it seems the viewer constantly gets Warcraft lore thrown at him at a rapid pace just for the sake of it, there is zero to no character evolving. It feels like a very long high quality Blizzard trailer, not like an actual movie.
For people unfamiliar with the Warcraft lore this must be a really boring film.
I couldn't help myself with comparing the film with Lord of the Rings at some points due to both being fantasy movies with a strong story on an epic scale. What LOTR achieves and WarCraft fails at miserably though is telling that story in an interesting way.
