The next big thing since the LOTR film-saga!

Rating: 10/10 (11 June 2016)

I only played "Warcraft III". Thoroughly enjoyed it, I used to load it up every day I returned from school. So, that being said, I ain't much of an expert on this world nor I am some huge fan. No.
Though, I happen to be a film fan and I simply enjoy good filmmaking. With Warcraft, this is the case. Outsdandingly good film-craft. There is everything in the fantasy flick needs to be - stunning visuals, interesting and relatable characters, solid story and tons of ACTUAL magic. Story pacing is just fine, there is not much of a character development though, but hey, that's because mostly all of the main heroes and villains are already established, and that is perfectly fine with me. Neved did I feel bored or underwhelmed. I personally didn't have any problems following the plot and understanding all the reasons within the film itself.
A subject on its own is the soundtrack. I divide the OSt into 2 groups - the ones I hear in a film and right after the screening almost instantly forget, and then, there are those SPECIAL which you never forget. And in Warcraft there is an AMAZINGLY brilliant soundtrack.
Actors are great. They really sunk into their respective roles. My favorites are Lothar and surprisingly Gul'dan - his voice-acting and overall appearance were mind-blowing. A perfect villain for the film that is establishing the cinematic universe.
Summarizing, I have a feeling that this film is the case of BvS which launched earlier this year - critics buried it instantly, while fans and average moviegoers wholeheartedly enjoyed and accepted it. I am just so glad that there is going to be a sequel for this excellent fantasy flick and that it is successful in the international box-office.
Do yourself a service - forget the critics' "valuable and knowledgeable" opinions and go give this film a chance. You live only once to let someone else's opinion influence your own view on the matter - Do no be a sheep.
I give this film a 10/10 not because it was flawless (cause it was flawed), not because it is a masterpiece (which it isn't, none of the existing films are, actually), but because it simply made my life a little bit better and more meaningful. And that, I can say about only a few films out of those thousands and thousand I've ever seen. Be buying this on Blu-Ray and keep re- watching this and BvS while waiting for the respective sequels.
