I find it funny that buzzfeed and other so called reliable news source, would call this a flop. Yet the people set the bar with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating. That green bar on my phone looks stretched pretty far to the right as well. This movie has very in depth lore to compliment the game, if you missed it and are lost, then perhaps it's time to pick up a copy. Or copies since fitting the entire story of Warcraft into one sitting, would require an entire year of zero rest. Please make a sequel, I'm sure that actual fans that watched loved it and should be the motivation for another. Because God knows a news blogger who probably never even touched the game, should ever write a review about what they have no idea about.

You know, I see more than a few bad reviews. It makes me wonder if they are fans of the game or they just watched it and because they never played the game or just are not smart enough to follow along to such a grand story, had a hard time with this one. Putting that aside, I my self have never played the game, but I know it and enjoy watching gameplay videos of it. Not knowing about the game shouldn't stop you from enjoying this movie. Firstly looking at the movie it's self, as a movie lover i thought the graphics where way better than i was expecting them to be, the special effects make up was on point, and the costumes where lovely. Yes there where multiple story lines, but may i remind you, you have two worlds coming together. I believe they did a wonderful job at all the storylines and how they came together. I never once was confused or thought they might have left something out. If anything i wanted more information and more storyline for everyone. But that would have been a long movie, not that i wouldn't mind sitting threw it. Over all I would say if anything, this movie was a lot better than I thought it was going to be. I the fights, the makeup, the CGI, all great

I have been playing World of Warcraft since 2005, before the first expansion pack Burning Crusade came out. I play both Alliance and Horde so I can see the story from all angles. Seeing some of the long familiar places and characters come to life was fascinating, particularly Khadgar, just one of many favorites. The story line was part of what hooked me and has kept me playing. Stormwind is one of my favorite places in-game and the movie version did not disappoint. I've seen many negative reviews which, I guess, puts me in the minority since I personally loved it and would love a sequel. I have the feeling there won't be one though. It was sad seeing how Thrall's parents died and even though I knew the outcome already, I couldn't help but root for Anduin and Garona. I have to say though that the whole Lothar being winded by all those stairs in Kharazan was not believable for a warrior and hero of the Alliance. Funny a bit, perhaps, reminding me of what a pain in the ass running the Kharazan dungeon is, but not realistic lorewise of Lothar. I wasn't overly thrilled with how Durotan was portrayed either. Over all though, I loved it. Will definitely be rewatching it a few times.
