As a non player I liked it

Rating: 8/10 (16 June 2016)

I don't know anything about this universe so clearly I can't speak for the die hard fans of the series, but as a fantasy lover I liked it, I did not loved it but it was not a disappointment.
When I saw the first trailer I thought this looked like a good fantasy movie and I was right.
It has amazing visuals and enough exposition for people like me who don't know anything about the series to understand the story
Most characters are one dimensional or a little boring (like the king) but hey, this is a fantasy, not a Oscar-bait drama so it works fine for me
Of course I didn't get the references or the differences in story lines with the games and maybe that's why die hard fans and critics are not liking it but for me it is a solid fantasy movie. Its not a perfect movie (10) but a solid 8 is fair
