solmcneil-80687 Travis Fimmel was a great lead as "Anduin Lothar" showing a inspiring yet flawed hero. It was surprisingly complex, which made for a great watch.

Deoglood Warcraft is one of those movies that is an example of how adaptations should be done. Please note: I have not ever played the game! To start, I have to wonder again and again at the 'movie critics' who've rated this and other movies so poorly. The plot was well-developed, the acting was exactly how you'd want from the genre, and the cinematography was very well done! I can go on and on about the tremendous job on the cgi, which surpasses so many other movies that have gotten far better critic review.I suspect Warcraft didn't do so well due to poor marketing or representation in the US, because while it is a gamer's fanbase, the movie stands well on its own. I truly wish to see the sequels. Warcraft is exactly the gritty, passionate kind of movie I wanted to see!

Tweetienator In short: too much CGI, a boring story, boring characters, long-stretched battles. Well, you get everything a fantasy and action fan craves for - beautiful pictures, great heroes and battles and stuff but somehow in this movie everything just looks and feels like a cliché and made without care. If you got a dish you taste if a cook is cooking with care to details and he likes his job and tries to surprise and please you or if he is just doing everything by the books like an automate. That's somehow how Warcraft hit me - everything is here but it tastes like convenience food: artificial and boring to the tongue and mind. Recommendation only for fans of the game/franchise and/or fantasy die-hards.

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.
