I feel bad for those looking forward to this film

Rating: 3/10 (8 June 2016)

I saw an advanced screening last night, and was terribly disappointed. A little background on me: I've played every major Warcraft release, and dedicated years to WoW. I'm not new to the history and lore of the Warcraft universe. That being said, the writing in this film is awful. I don't care about changes from the source material. The issues in the script were dialogue, plot holes, and scenes that existed for no plausible reason. Also, the humans in this film are sub par at best in acting. Sadly, it seems all the talent was used on the orc side, hidden behind mountains of cg. Speaking of, the only two compliments I can give to this film are that it was beautiful to look at, and the soundtrack was impressive.
Whether you are an old hand at the universe or completely new to it, avoid this movie. I saw it for free and still regretted wasting the 2 hours I spent watching it.
