The first Warcraft movie reviews are in and are showing a mediocre reception at best. Variety subtitles it "Hollywood's habit of turning hit video games into unwatchable movies continues unabated" while The Wrap says "swords, sorcery and stupidity abound in game adaptation".

No amount of Warcraft can make up for how far Hollywood always manages to drag down what could have been an epic movie concept.
There were way bigger IPs that they messed up.
You can still have an epic-adventure with a light-heated approach. Movies do that all the time to great success.

Ice is cold!!!
Now back to your regularly scheduled program.

While I agree and love their games' CGI shorts, do they even make their own CGI clips? I recall hearing once back in the day that those were outsourced, but I don't really know much about that. Does Blizzard do its own in-house shorts?
This reviewer is only worth a damn to you if you agree with his past reviews of other movies. This is the equivalent of a guy saying chocolate ice cream sucks cause he hates how it tastes.
People have hated on lots of films, they still have fan bases. Just a quick example, the latest batman vs superman was panned by the critics, it still made a massive profit.

The End.
"Your skill in movie watching has increased to 45"
"You are now allowed to not like this movie".

These are the same people that said that Man of Steel was terrible movie and that Gal Gadot was good as Wonder Woman.
I'd rather watch the film and make my own mind up.
Does it matter? A crap movie is a crap movie. If you have to be familiar with wow's goofy lore to see the movie then they kinda failed at making a good movie didn't they?
Take the Magic: The Gathering 'What Color Are You?' Quiz.
Again, I'll still see it but not as "Warcraft", but as generic fantasy movie #65.

Honestly, I can't swear that most players give a darn about lore. I happen to care about it and have read all quests and most outside books, manga, short stories, etc. Even saying that, however, even casual players will know that Garona is Medivh's lover, not Lothar's -- it's embedded in even the Warlords of Draenor storyline that she is the mother of a child produced in that relationship. And, seriously, that's just the beginning.

I think this too. This movie is for the people that love and play the game. They won't give a crap about non player reviews. This movie will be huge because of the games player base 5+million.
