The critics have been too harsh

Rating: 9/10 (10 June 2016)

I read the reviews and I was expecting a boring, confusing, campy fail of a movie. I'm a long time fan of Warcraft and Blizzard, so I'm obviously biased, but I thought the criticism was WAY too harsh.
I was entertained. The orcs were cool. The story wasn't any more complicated or hard to follow than a typical superhero movie. The acting wasn't stellar, but it wasn't horrible either. I think the thing that trips people up is that they aren't comfortable with the world. Orcs, warlocks, wizards, fel magic, dwarfs and elves that aren't from middle earth, Karazhan, Stormwind, Ironforge, Azeroth etc. All the unfamiliarity can be a jolt and cause the movie to be less enjoyable. I get it. I feel the same way every time I go to an avengers movie because I don't follow comic book movie stuff. Its a lot to take in without any explanation, but it doesn't really need to be internalized in order to enjoy the movie. Just let that stuff go over your head and you'll have fun.
