Rated 4 out of 5 stars
A decent fantasy film
Warcraft is a decent film, It has problems, but it’s not a bad movie. The film makers had to cram so much in its two hour runtime that it doesn’t allow scenes to breathe which makes everything seem rushed. The bonus dvd has three featurettes and a setup menu. The 1st is Welcome to Warcraft a 10 minute look at the history of the games. Next is The Weaponized Magic of Warcraft which is 11 minute look on how they made and used magic in the film. Last is The World within Warcraft a 10 minute look at the locations and move sets in the movie. I would say buy the Best Buy exclusive the bonus dvd is worth it.
I mainly bought this because I heard the picture quality was fantastic. Turned out to be a really good movie! The special effects are awesome, and blend in really well. This looks incredible on 4K!
I never played WoW, the game - I barely got to play the original Warcraft RTS games. Growing up, there was no way we could afford a computer to run WoW, so I just never pushed the issue.
I know a few people who were saying "the movie doesn't follow the game," but because I never played the game, I had nothing to compare it to; therefore, I absolutely loved this movie. I was a little less than thrilled that Gorona just looked like she was painted green and given shoddy tusks for her movie costume, but maybe it was intended that way? I'm unsure. I loved the story line and CG though. Cannot wait for them to make a Starcraft movie...
