Bliizard spent 50% if their budget on the movie, and the other 50% on bribing people for positive reviews.

The Warcraft game franchise must abide by the law and limits set by the universe itself. There could be only so much greatness before the equation must balance itself out.

Warcraft game = Neo
Warcraft movie = Agent Smith

IT WAS INEVITABLE!!!

- The "story" was forgettable, cramped into one movie
didn't come even near the epic proportions of WarCraft 3 & Frozen Throne!
- the music was boring and uninspired! Why didn't they use the orchestrated Version of the WC3-Soundtrack?!

didn't come even near the epic proportions of WarCraft 3 & Frozen Throne!

- the music was boring and uninspired!

Why didn't they use the orchestrated Version of the WC3-Soundtrack?!

- the characters were all forgettable and bland

- the CGI-Orcs are more convincing then the Humans!

- a cramped-in "love Story" out of nowhere

Only good thing were the fantastic animated Orcs.
But who cares? It doesn't make a good movie!

Whoever wrote and directed this garbage, should hang his head in shame
and just take a look at the really intriguing and gripping Story of unexpected alliances and dark powers and corruption of all from the WC3 Lore!

Effects... nice & yawn. Acting: Horrid. Writing: Horrid. Serious eyerolls await you. I guess it's ok for the fanboys or who are desperate to see their game in lights again, but overall... nah -It's a fail.

Played all of the series RTS games and WOW a bit too.
Despite the fact that the movie tries, and for most part succeeds, to stay true to the lore....acting is horrible, screenplay is a joke, characters are deep as a puddle of water after a few drops of rain.

Could have been much better with just a ctrl-c and ctrl-v from the original game dialogues.

What a shame

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What a surprise another bad video game based movie, probably the worst movie of 2016 till now, i mean Batman V Superman was better than this pile of garbage you call a movie. The events are so inconsistent with each other and made no sense, like where the hell did a bunch of magical wizards appear and why did the guardian open the portal in the first place. Second of all, A ROMANCE BETWEEN A MAN AND A ORC is completely illogical. Why the hell would you kill off one of the 2 main characters in the movie if you're planning a sequel. This movie was so dull and boring that is made sleep through 75% of it, the only semi decent scene in the movie is the final battle. Expand

Bad:
The characters
The story
The music
The designs

Oh actually, the CGI on the orcs was very good

Awful film. The acting was so abysmal anybody could have done it better. The scripting dialogue was an incoherent mess of random words that barely described its richer fantasy universe's history, and timeline providing little explanationAwful film. The acting was so abysmal anybody could have done it better. The scripting dialogue was an incoherent mess of random words that barely described its richer fantasy universe's history, and timeline providing little explanation behind content that was just supposed to happen and not very well, when it contained so many modern cliches, puns, and gags. The lore was also quite wrong, as this film was toned down for 6 year old's, instead of making it into a niche market gaining its cult gamer status from using more appropriate ratings. The CGI was okay if you consider that its affects were marketed for those 6 year old's, where even the Frostwolves are smiling, and the orcs scratch their heads talking like some other JarJar Bink's am such a dumb orc orc, don't worry the humans weren't any better check the king of Stormwind, white guy with a beard check and all those boxes are now complete, setting the acting, stage, nuance, tone and body language, not at all he has a beard so he can act. Epic fail.

In short this is a hamfisted Disney attempt at trying to turn a dying profit by selling the children more toys as they make another skylanders from using its barbie dolls. Otherwise I have absolutely no idea what I have had the displeasure of watching except for a giant puke fest that has me vomiting. Because there will be pandas and butterflies next time. Not the undead demigods blighting the realm

Avoid, or you will also be left wishing that a dark portal open, satanically consuming this audience

Let this review be the only record that I ever saw this lackluster mess of source material that could have been epic. Glad to see how easily discredited the viewers are with their 10/10s proliferating the rankings in a desparate attempt to qualify their appreciation for a great series of games, but betraying the fact that most non-professional reviewers are compromised by emotion and personal desire to be taken seriously.

Probably the worst acting I've ever seen in my entire life. Every single actor really hates being in this movie and they don't even have the decency of hiding it. I wish I could say something about the plot, but I honestly had no idea what the hell they were even trying to do most of the time.

People actually were getting up and leaving the theater at about the 40 minute mark. The acting was really awful and the armor and CGI just looked ridiculous. The plot jumped around so much that unless you play the Game there is really no point in watching it as you will have no idea what is going on. What a dud. Expand

For the record:
I love Blizzard, and for the most part the entertainment products they have provided through the years are generally felt to be of high quality and standards.

This rating of Zero is more a symbolic gesture, meant to offset at least one of the auto-erotic-blizzard-is-infallable-and-my-life-is-empty-otherwise 10's

This movie was, in a hyphenated-word, Fan-Service.

Several other reviewers down here have made far more articulate points about How and Why this was a really...really...Really Bad Movie.

Do I truly believe it's a 'Zero' ... No. More like a high 2 or a low 3 with the weight of that resting solely on the incredible CGI team - but as stated above, this is really a symbolic review and rating meant to - at the very least - offset an undeserved 10 that was based on someone having a massive nerd-gasm rather than approaching it objectively.

Surtout quand le scénar pue le nanar avec en plus beaucoup de préoccupations du vivre_ensemble et son angélisme forcené qui va avec...

Car les Orques sont gentils en fait, sauf un vieux très méchant et pas gentil... les Orques sont mimis, tant qu'ils sont pas verdâtres et super vénères (comme Hulk) ! et à part ça tout le monde il est beau, il est gentil... Certes, ça se castagne quand même, à cause des Orques vilains (ceux qui sont pas mimis) mais ça reste propre, sans une goutte de sang...

Les acteurs sont à la fois nuls et mal dirigés, voire pas dirigés du tout et sont alors raccord avec l'histoire bidon, la mise en scène fade, pour ne pas dire gentiment médiocre et les effets numériques de pacotille... Tout cela est risible, si on pouvait y trouver matière à en rire bien entendu : mais même pas...
