Bore-craft.....

Rating: 2/10 (4 July 2016)

Duncan Jones is a fabulous film maker. His first two movies, Moon and Source Code were both chock full of flair, style, and panache.......much like his father.
This however, is a total product of the studio, but if you look close enough, just past the dead eyes of the Orcs, you can just make out some of Jones' presence surrounding the film.
After realising that their home is becoming uninhabitable, a race of orcs travel to the land of Azeroth.
There, they encounter the realm's human inhabitants, who fight back against the invaders. In time, an orc warrior forges an alliance with a group of humans in order to overthrow his race's corrupt leader and bring peace to the land........
Oh the film looks impressive, the special effects are second to none, but my gosh, the rest of the film is confusing mess of lore and characters that just seem to come out of the book of game to movie clichÃ©.
To sum it up, it's like a few extras from The Last Temptation Of Christ have teamed up with the Hulks hippy relatives, and need to overthrow something from Guardians of the Galaxy, but a lot less fun.
So it's a case of big money spent on what seems like never ending battles, Cooper saying to Paula Patton, 'kill me and all will be well', Ben Foster doing his obligatory bad guy routine (the best thing about this sorry mess), and of course, the really awkward humour that just about peppers the odd scene every now and again.
I don't think that it matters that I've never played WoW, but I can well imagine that two hours on that would be more forfillng than having to sit through this dreck again.
Honestly, if it was camp, and didn't take itself as serious as it did, it could have been something.
Another expensive bore-fest.
Don't hold your breath for the sequel....
