Review of Warcraft (2016) by Christian H — 10 Feb 2017
Warcraft: The Beginning, is the type of movie many World of Warcraft fans will enjoy, but for the neutrals you might have a hard time understanding its main story.
What makes the film standout the most is the musical score from Ramin Djawadi, the visual effects (the motion capture to the green screen were top notch), the character creations for the Orcs are astonishing, and the well choreographed action was decent enough. However, what makes it suffer is how dull most of the characters are and the story doesn't take a break from the many battles plus a few key characters being questionably killed off.
Surprisingly the films running time is rather short. Mostly from the Humans characters and some Orcs characters perspective the movie needs at least 10 to 15 minutes more which could've been used for character and plot development.
Overall, the real die-hard World of Warcraft fans will properly stand by the film, but unfortunately for me this movie doesn't do the highly popular video game franchise justice.
