Better than I expected yet not what I expected

Rating: 4/10 (3 September 2016)

I have played Warcraft and I used to love it ("Used to" because I don't play it anymore). So when I heard they were making a movie I was semi- excited because I knew then and there that it would take a miracle to bring all the characters, races and different story lines of the game into one movie. I expected to be disappointed and I was half right. The first half of the movie was okay but the second half was just a mix and mash of random plot points and a concoction ideas poured into a mold to fit the narrative. The ending seemed rushed and forced. In fact, I was surprised it got this many stars on IMDb (must be all the gamers and fanboys, but I don't blame them). The movie could have done with better story depth, deeper character development, better acting and many more. The CGI absolutely amazing on the other hand.
The filmmakers should have taken it slow and made a trilogy.
