Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

hyped garbage

Boring

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

If you have not played the game or read the book you will love this, very enjoyable and I can not wait to see the new one. There are lot of people who have read the book or played the game, for them this was always going to a hard sell. You can not make everyone happy. Sound and visual were amazing, story moved quickly but I assume there was a lot to cover in the 1st edition.

Just went back and watched this again, now a few years later and its even better than the first time.Travis Fimmel (Anduin Lothar) and Paula Patton (Garona) have great chemistry and their performances along with Ben Foster (Medivh) Ben Schnet (Kadgar) Toby Kebbel (Durotan) and Daniel Wu (Gul'dan) are excellent. As well as more minor characters. The story plot follows the World of Warcraft game lore for the most part with some exceptions for Garona to bring the adventure along. Having a strong knowledge of that lore is what turned it from a 7 to a 9 for me as all the details were there in the settings and in the characters. And for World of Warcraft Players, having an understanding of the lore and general story already having played the game enhances the film as you can envision what you know has happened outside of this story laid on top of what you see in the film. The actual production of this film, CGI etc. is amazing. The Director's work in maintaining continuity and performance is solid, especially given the complexity of CGI.And the nod to a sequel at the end has me hoping that Blizzard will follow through with the same Class A Production on a sequel soon!

As far as the story line goes, the movie is excellent. This requires a sequel most definitely. Stormwind is captured in a very proper way. The actual costumes are almost perfect. Anduin Lothar's character is extraordinary and Ragnar ( Travis Fimmel) did a masterful job. Quite certain that the WOW/ Warcraft video games fans were all ecstatic when they watched this motion picture. Looking forward to a sequel. FOR THE ALLIANCE!!!! FOR AZEROTH!!!!! :)

I'm a gamer. I love RPGs. I love fantasy movies. But man, this movie is a mess. The ties to the source materials are flimsy at best. It's just looks like an attempt to grab a few more bucks from the WoW crowd. If it weren't for the WoW apologists (who I appreciate because of my own gaming past) this movie would be rated around the 3 range. The people involved took this movie way too seriously. Sorry, you're not Tolkien. At least take comfort in the fact that this movie isn't as bad as Double Dragon.
