Review of Warcraft (2016) by Cap198462 — 14 Jun 2016

I am a longtime player of Warcraft, first played Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness, then Orcs and Humans, Beyond the Dark Portal, and so forth, up until Warcraft 3. So, when the movie faithfully recreated the world of Azeroth, down to the near pixel perfect duplicates of the Footmen from the games, I was pleased, and first of all, I noticed.

So, full credit there. The battles were good, faithful to the game, all that was missing was the hud, and cooldown timers. Having said that, the rest of the movie was unimpressive, in the way that the first film of a series often is.

It introduces characters and gives a rough background. So, go see it, once, for no more than US$9 or local equivalent and if you can't avoid saying "ready to work," or "zug zug," you probably won't be sad.
