Review of Warcraft (2016) by Sean O — 01 Oct 2016

The film takes directly from the in-game lore of Blizzard's best-selling MMORPG and RTS games. Someone unfamiliar with the games may not enjoy the film as much as a fan, but the film was clearly made with the fans in mind.

Given the rich lore and exciting tales the game universe offers, Warcraft stands as a fair start to a potentially wealth of new franchise films. On the downside, Warcraft's lack of A-list actors gives the film a bit of an indie feel to it, and non-fans of the game may find themselves wondering what is going on.
