![]() Overall the movie is a visual marvel and as a fan it is great to see some of the characters and landscapes from the games up on the big screen. The only character with a clear motivation and compelling struggle is Durotan. Many of the other characters, such as the king and Blackhand, don't really have much of a personality and they appear as common character cutouts from other movies. Anduin Lothar is assumably a caring father and a competent soldier, but we only really see him as the latter. The story is relatively straight forward, but the characters fall flat and those were the most important to get right. The orcs are well executed and the landscapes are gorgerous, but the human armor and much of the props give it a very B-movie feel for most of the runtime. ![]() The visuals alone are also very interesting to touch upon. The movie spends too little time developing characters and too much time showcasing lore-references such as Ironforge, Dalaran and high elves, that for a non-wow fan the whole presentation may seem very random and difficult to grasp. I for one consider this movie to be very confusing, despite being a die-hard fan of the lore. With a massive lore both before and after the period that the movie takes place in, you are undoubtabedly going to either add too much too the movie or remove too many important lore-bits, depending on who you ask. Warcraft is a movie with a very unique feel and press surrounding it.
