Mind-numbing and CGI heavy.

Rating: 5/10 (11 August 2016)

When I went to see Warcraft, I had high hopes for it, and it's an OK film. I think the critics treated it a little too harshly, but it is quite a big disappointment, considering how many people play the game. If you're friend says "It's the new Lord of the Rings, best film ever!", don't trust him/her. LotR was a masterpiece. The Hobbit was quite good. This? This is derivative, mind-numbing, cgi-heavy and at times plain boring. It's got its good moments, but it's not worth watching. If you were expecting grandiose LotR-esque battles, then you're wrong. All you get is a mildly cool orc vs orc showdown, a short fight in a ravine, and a 1 minute long excuse for a climax. And while the effects are good, the orcs just don't match those of Lord of the Rings. Pretty ashamed.
