Fantastic

Rating: 8/10 (24 September 2016)

After a year of so many woeful movies, such as Independence Day Regurgitated, Tarzan, Ghost Busters and Ab Fab - to name just a few, this movie was a complete surprise.
Not only does this movie have character development, fantastic CGI, fantastic sound effects that really worked my sound system, characters you care about and, wait for it, story!
The Orcs aren't just mindless monsters but actually have family and feelings. The motive of everyone concerned is laid out on the table.
The Orcs look amazingly real, and the Orc baby is cute. We actually care about the characters. Throw in some twists, and what more could you ask for?
Having played the original, version 1 game of Warcraft, a top down, resource based RTS, I loved the look of this movie which almost magically transferred from my computer onto the screen.
To all those negative reviewers, maybe they saw the wrong movie? Maybe they saw the word "craft" in the title and expected a movie about knitting, because anyone who likes fantasy movies IMHO, would have to rate this one very high.
I look forward to the sequel.
