Warcraft

I really was expecting very little from this movie, but I was surprised. Good action and quite a decent story. Not all fresh, but well put together. I think the biggest pity is the lack of talent of Fimmel. He learnt how to perform for Vikings and he lays another flat copy of the same character. Positive points to the very good OST by Djawadi.

Even if you have never played "Warcraft" or "World of Warcraft" before, I think you will like this movie. It has a great story, good acting & is visually stunning. The special effects are not over the top, but are very good & believable. Do yourself a favor & don't think of this a another "video game movie", see it & you will love it & want another to be made. I hope this turns this into a great franchise, there are too many good stories in the "Warcraft" universe waiting to be told on the…

**One fights for their new home and the others to defend theirs.** I never played Warcraft game in my life, nor read comic book, but I enjoyed this new fantasy universe. Azeroth is the world where this story takes place. When the Orcs planet was destroyed, they use a magic portal to get to Azeroth and make a safe home. But that is where humans and other intelligent species live peacefully. A new race means a new conflict to solve the differences. So the battle commences at no time to gain the…

The beginning is confusing and poorly acted, but it gets better as it goes. The CGI looks seamless with the live-action.

A good fantasy movie, a bad video game movie (27 February 2017) The day it premiered, me not being a wow fan or anything, i went and watched it, a mere fantasy lover who just couldn't resist not coming in contact with something new and promising. Hands down, even if i didn't know anything from this lore, through the movie i couldn't hold a grin all over my face. I don't know why maybe cause i was seeing before me a fantasy world well established. A world that probably deserved it. I left the …

I had fairly low expectations for this, and I wasn't really disappointed. Based on a highly complex game structure, the characterisations seem to be drawn from a Tolkien meets Arthurian world in which magicians, guardians, orcs, humans and Glenn Close are all vying for power. What ensues now is a pretty straightforward tale of betrayal and manipulation with a bit of romance and plenty of visual effects that must have caused no end of boredom for an almost comedic Travis Fimmel, Ben Foster, Domin…

Recently, I decided to watch the movie Warcraft on Netflix, as it was trending in the top 10 for the week. I thought I'd give it a chance, even though it was a film I never had any desire to see in theaters. To my disappointment, Warcraft turned out to be a jumbled mess. The storyline was all over the place, lacking any substance to keep me invested. It felt more like a movie made for a streaming service rather than a theatrical release. The characters were either unbelievable or poorly do…
