Outstanding

Rating: 8/10 (31 May 2016)

Just saw this today (31/05/2016) after only finding out about it a mere 3 weeks ago I am so pleased that i didn't eagerly await it like a lot of fans. I was introduced to World of Warcraft by Southpark! After a friend of mine begged me for weeks to play the game i wish i had listened to him but no, i listened to Cartman instead.
Loved playing the game especially the stories in the game without speeding along to complete quests after quests etc. So its been a while since i played (I'm 50 years old now, its tough finding time).
It was a pleasure to sit back and visit places of Azeroth I'd not seen in over 3 years, I have been forgetful about character names and early lore but no matter, the visual effects and CGI were as outstanding as i found the quality in the game play when i began to play it.
I was enjoying the views of Stormwind and Ironforge etc and its only a matter of days before i crank up the engine, update and do some add ons and begin playing it again. It's got to be done, I hope it inspires new players and i've missed the place so much it was like watching a holiday show, its sold the trip!
The acting was good, believable characters for those unaware of the game/story. Quality footage, it had it all, i understood the concept of the film but i'd have welcomed more scenes with other heroes e.g elves for example. I'm ever hopeful that's to come in the future.
N.B I did wonder why 2 dear ladies much older than me 15 ish years older? Sat beside me, i actually looked for the grandchild but there was none. They thoroughly enjoyed it too! I remained seated as they passed by and i told them i was stopping until the end and one said "its not a marvel!" I just laughed and said i was going home to play it after. I can only see myself in the cinema at their age enjoying all this fantasy stuff, it gave me great hope for the future of fantasy films.
I gave it 8/10 as i wondered if non players would struggle to follow it. In hindsight, i'm probably wrong.
