Possibly my Favourite Video Game Movie!

Rating: 8/10 (11 June 2016)

Although I'm not as big a Warcraft fan as most others I just love everything fantasy! I went into this film with only some knowledge of the world and lore, and honestly thoroughly enjoyed it!
I can understand some of the negative reviews that complain about the pacing as it was slow at parts but I don't believe in ripping films apart actively looking for things to hate, I just like to have a good time with movies and I honestly think Warcraft was a great time!
The action is intense and the fight scenes between the Orcs and the Humans are bone crushingly entertaining!
The acting on most parts was great IMO, though I felt the weakest among the cast were Ben Schnetzer as Khadgar, and maybe Paula Patton as Garona.
I've been a huge fan of Travis Fimmel since seeing him in Vikings so I expected Lothar to be my favourite character due to fanboyism, but I can honestly say that Durotan was by far the best character! I feel Durotan really carries the entire movie!
As far as the main villain goes, I thought Gul'dan was so cool! He was sinister and held a strong, intimidating presence early on!
I'm in love with the soundtrack as well, Ramin Djawadi does a great job once again!
Overall I feel Warcraft is a fun time for casual moviegoers, and there seems to be plenty of references etc. for fans of the games and novels. It has some issues and it's not perfect, but then no film really is. At the very least, you'll be getting some awesome fantasy action with BREATHTAKING visuals!
Well worth the money in my opinion, and I'll definitely be buying it on Blu-Ray!
