Review of Warcraft (2016) by Darkvolton — 09 Jun 2016

I Honestly don't even know why the movie industry has critics anymore... This movie is one of the movies that prove that critics just don't know what they are talking about. Now to give you some background, yes I am a gamer, no not any movie that is based on a video game is good, and lastly I have played a very small amount of WoW or Warcraft.

To start this movie was no masterpiece, BUT it was a good movie. The story line although critics would leave you to believe that you need to know EVERYTHING about Warcraft in order to understand was surprisingly good.

That being said the story is tough to follow ALTHOUGH not for the reasons stated by said "critics" The main problem the storyline has is that it throws out A TON of hard to pronounce and even harder to remember names that get the listener confused.

How is someone that has never played a video game going to remember who's name is who's when there are names floating around like "dalaran", "lothar", "Gorona", "Gul Dan" etc.

the answer is they wont, they get frustrated and stop because "it doesn't make sense" when they really mean that they are lost because they dont know who is who and what is what. Now imagine if the main character was named Jason and instead of saying the complicated names of cities and towns they started saying names like "New York" "Tokyo" and "London" that literally EVERYONE knows! yes that would make the movie easier to understand, but because people are too lazy to even try to remember a name as complicated as "Medivh"(i think I spelled that right) they give up and call the movie **** THERE IS A REASON THIS SHOW KILLED IT IN CHINA! long story short if you only watch movies to be TOLD a story instead of watching movies to LISTEN to a story then this movie will be tough to watch.
