I cried twice, oh my... The feels...

Rating: 9/10 (26 May 2016)

Got a vague spoiler ahead, reader discretion is advised.
I was mega pumped to see the movie. It was an early morning, the first session in our cinema. As the opening title rose under the war drums, I began to maniacally cry... 12 fu*king years... I was ready for a bad flick, thanks to rotten early critics. The first 20 minutes were real fast paced. As a fan of WC3. I knew some of the early war stories, but not so in details. I never got lost throughout the narrative. It was almost solid, I'd say 89% solid. The rest is mist of self-understanding and "figuring". Which is good, for once I can watch a movie again and see something that I missed or miss understood. Let's talk visuals for a start. I'll be very honest. For the budget of 100 mills, it was overdone. Which is good, means they put an enormous amount of extra effort into this. Orcs were fluid and gave a very hard alien emotional drive throughout entire screen time. I felt a hunger for power from them, love for its own kind except for one individual, no fear, crazy mind-boggling strength. They had sympathetic feelings to viewers. I felt that orcs story was on par with the human, but it's strange to explain... Basically, orcs hit your feelings in the first half and human side catches towards the climax of the picture. Characters were all (except for poor Khadgar) an A+, 10 out of 10, you name it. Here is a thing to all those folks that got no clue about the lore... These humans are not from Earth, they are from Azeroth. So they might age slower. That's why I was keen to accept the casting choice for Medivh and The King. I'll add that horse is not a normal cause, it's a different universe. Deal with it, "critic". I think you'll know why Khadgar didn't make the cut, once you'll see the film. Now let's get to the juicy stuff. Cons. For me, there were only three... Three to five scenes had a motion blur effect on big structures, most of the scenes are still, but at those moments you felt the cracking budget on the CGI. No words, just Khadgar! And here's my nifty spoiler and the main con, the reason why I cried the second time. When a certain main character dies in the midst of battle. And you know this amazing film is going to be over soon. You'll step out from the big dark room into the light of day. Feelings shockering through your skin and bones, knowing that they went all in on this. For you, for the fan, for a casual moviegoer. This piece of art was made with love and care. Which is very rare in this day and age. This is darker than Civil War. This is better written than BvS. This got better-unclichéd action than X-men. This is my contender as the best summer blockbuster of 2016. And it deserves its sequel. Mic dropped...
