The Warcraft Movie [No Spoilers] by VenomousViper June 11, 2016 at 1:06 AM UTC

The long awaited movie based on the game World of Warcraft by Blizzard Entertainment was finally released today. Is anyone planning on seeing it or if you have what were your opinions of the movie. Let's try to keep the as spoiler free as possible for anyone still waiting to go see it. Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Rxoz13Bthc

I personally thought it was a great movie. For a movie based on a game it was phenomenal. If I had to rate it out of 10 I would rate about a 8/10. There were some parts that didn't quite fit what was going on.

I find it odd that even Nobbel gave it a 7/10 while other reviewers gave it 4-5/10 lol. I hope to see it some point this weekend or just wait until the directors cut comes out on DVD.

Fans of the game or people who have heard the lore before rate the movie much higher than critics, it seems.

Gotta wait till the 16th. I'm a fan of blizzard now because of overwatch and hearthstone, but so far wow hasn't taken me. 

If you want a laugh, heres some bumbling brits 'interviewing' the director and a few of the orc actors.

I enjoyed the film. I know some crazy lore nerds are angry about how the story was different from the game, book, etc. though when seeing this film I went in knowing it was going to be different and I was ok with that, but I thought they did a good job at trying to keep it somewhat simple and close to the original story. Though I do feel if you didn't know what was going on you were kinda loss with what happens with medivh and how fel came into the universe and why it gives the orcs strength, etc... I will say the CGI was fucking amazing and it felt realistic. I thought there were some cheesy lines though what do you expect. I also think if they explained the corrupted of the fel energy/blood it would have tied somethings together then again it was a two hour movie and even then there was a lot of things going on and we didn't get enough of a background of the main characters and overall things were rushed. I also thought the ending was a bit dumb but I thought the overall scene was done well.

I personally enjoyed the movie a lot though it is a bit bias since I have played "WoW" for so long and enjoyed it. 8/10 for me.

Wait, it was released on May, 25.
Not the fan, but there is funny situation with marks from critics in the world and in my country o_o. World hates, Russia loves (~8/10).

Why was my post removed? I was just expressing my opinions on the irrelevance of this thread.

tbh I didnt like the movie, it was pretty horrible. If I was 2 be completely honest I would give it a solid 2/10
