Ensofter Overrated and overhyped

MonsterPerfect Good idea lost in the noise

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

ohskar10000 People either hated this movie or loved it. I am of the latter. I was entertained! enjoined the cinematography, soundtrack, acting was better than average. Yes, if you are of a slow mind and need lots of build up then you should have watched or read the lore, I did not and was still able to keep up with it. the movie is not a 4. for sheer entertainment it gets at least a 7 but because I am a huge fan of this type of movie it gets a 10 IMO.

Fallen Eye This is a terrible movie, that's also incredibly messy and made little sense while choking on its own umbilical cord. Warcraft is all over the place. It has no focus, and its story suffers greatly from a sequence of events that come together about as well as dipping sushi in ketchup.Maybe fans of the Warcraft game understood what the hell was going on in this film, but the rest of us were wondering "WTF" during "WTB" (Warcraft: The Beginning). The character developments were also ridiculously flat. The relationships had absolutely no life; Anduin and his son. Anduin and Garona. The king ad his queen. Anduin and his sister. Anduin and the king. This list of these half to barely developed run-of-the-mill characters and more so, relationships, could really span almost, if not the entire cast.The CGI started off okay to good, then of course as the movie progressed, the intensity and necessity of the visual effects grew, and unfortunately, grew beyond the films budget and/or the director's ability to create the world he needed to. Warcraft was CGI heavy, extremely so, and that made it run the risk of starting to feel cartoonish, unrealistic, and even worse, fake. The Green Screens are so obvious, especially at the end when the Guardian to be guy was handing a sword to Anduin, amongst many other parts in this film.The fight sequences were meh. The acting was meh. The composition was meh. The directing and cinematography, meh. Visual effects, meh. The editing... Meh. 4.4/10.

gianninostanisci I played the games what must've been 15 odd years ago, and just the snippets I remember about the lore and the stakes really translated to this movie. Yep, its complete fanservice to fans of the game, but also I LOVED the way they didn't skimp on the brutality of the action, I was surprised they didn't issue a higher rating for the frankly, if you think about it, horrific endings some of the alliance humans end up with.The CGI must be commended, its really quite good and very believable. Yes, the story is very simplistic, DONT try to compare it to lord of the rings like almost all the critics, its a different movie and a different goal. The music and the stakes really help get the otherwise uninvested to enjoy themselves, but don't walk into this expecting a critically acclaimed movie. This is something to turn off, delve into a new fantasy world and let it take you along for the journey, with the characters whist basking in the CGI.People bag on the acting but lets be real, you didn't come here for the academy awards, you came here for the big badass human VS orc showdown with a hint of Warcraft nostalgia.For what this movie is, if you're a fan of the games or a fan of grand fantasy, I think you'll like it.

Gibson29 I have no gaming experience. I watch movies while I work on the treadmill or airdyne, and love movies that keep me engaged. This movie did that. Sure, it's not Oscar stuff, wasn't meant to be, but the action, CGI rendering, and storyline is compelling enough to make me want more of the story. So, I give it a 9, probably closer to a 7, but I think a lot scored it low due to their gaming superiority syndrome.So there.
