Excellent movie adaptation of a great game series!

Rating: 10/10 (25 May 2016)

I just saw the movie in the cinema here in Manila and I must say I was happily surprised. Unlike the so called 'professional' critics I really enjoyed the plot, characters and visuals of this exciting film.
I'm not sure what the critics expected, perhaps another fantasy classic? Maybe they have been too spoiled over the last few years by fantasy masters such as the Lord of the Rings trilogy, the Game of Thrones series and even the enjoyable (but rather underwhelming) Hobbit series.
Video game adaptations to the big screen rarely turn out good. This movie is an exception. It's not a cinema classic by any means, but you won't regret paying full price at your local theatre either.
I agree that some of the acting could have been better and that some parts of the story could have been fleshed out more. Considering the budget they had to work with, however, I'm still completely convinced that the production team did a sterling job.
Enjoy the movie for what it is: a faithful adaptation of Warcraft's early history with decent actors and delightful visuals. Go watch it, you won't regret it.
For the Alliance! For the Horde!
