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 big screen. Some non WoW fans might have a hard time following the fast paced story, but watch it... read the rest.

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 power to rule the land. Between the two great powers, who wins is the film to tell us in the rest of... read the rest.

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 cinema over-excited. I started playing the game, and more importantly i started reading the novels.... read the rest.

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, Dominic Cooper and many others who must have been dangled, stood, sat or made to pretend-fight in front of... read the rest.
