Acting, script, characterisations... as with many movies in the end it´s just a boring CGI show, which makes no sense whatsoever. No humor, bad action sequences, nothing is comprehensible - it just feels like a senseless collection of scenes with slightly the same theme. I think no one even cared about it making sense a little bit or about continuity.

The design, while true to the games which I like btw., doesn´t fit the big screen in any way. It´s just plain ridiculous.

To the people, who seem to think, they must defend their beloved franchise by ignoring the failure of this movie: even as a WC fan you don´t need to like this to be a true fan, you know? It´s not heresy to be critical when something is as obviously bad as this adaption. Just think about, what would have been possible with some film making skills involved.… Expand

A terrible disappointment that not only fails to capture the hearts based on the video game it's played on but also seems obvious that the cast and crew were oblivious on what they were even doing in the first place.

However this film isAs a popular game, fanatics must have been either thrilled to see this or worried to death. With Duncan Jones at the helm most fans should have been in the former camp with his previous works being of excellent standard. However this film is an epic mess on all levels. A script that spouts poor and cliched dialogue. Characters left with little to empathise with. A narrative that attempts to force too much in whilst also failing to bring anything together to form a coherent structure. Acting which doesn't belong on a production of this magnitude. A non-existent score. Editing that offers poor transitions between storylines. On the plus side Travis Fimmel gives a decent performance and the effects are rather good. But this can't save it from a very poor adaptation. There is never a real lead to proceedings so your loyalties don't lie with a single camp, keeping you firmly on the outside of everything that's happening. There is far too much magic and world building that all becomes confusing and laughable and this doesn't help the non-existent plot. This is basically franchise bait. There is no real resolution and characters are still in dire need to grow from the one dimension they are in, prompting that sequels will be in the offing but hopefully these will not see the light of day because this is a rather boring film that I doubt will have audiences calling for more. With the talent behind this project, on and off screen, and a fan base that is global this film deserved so much more and it never once hit half the heights it should. One of the poorer films of the year in what is already shaping into a bad year for cinema.… Expand

TheAn easy contender for worst movie of the year. As a huge Warcraft fan who has clocked in over 25 years of play going back to the original Warcraft, I have to question why anyone felt this was a story worth telling on the big screen. The writing and acting on part of the human characters is poor, leaving the mostly CGI orcs to be the most convincing part of the movie. The editing and pacing was distracting. This movie is proof that if you try to cram a LOTR-scale plot into two hours, the experience suffers. A strong warning to anyone who is unfamiliar with the world, setting and characters, you may feel overwhelmed and have no idea what's going on. This was hard to watch.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie could not even get their characters right. First we are shown how "hardcore" the orcs are. They never fear death. They even like the idea of dying, because if they would fear it, that wont be honourful. But than, when the old magic-orc appears, everyone is a coward.
Honor is their highest value, but their mentor kills the protagonist-orc and no one cares.
Another stupid scene: we are shown a powerful orc. One that was more mighty than others. Still, the human protagonist killed him in 5 seconds. I am not even joking here. Take a lot at the watch.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So a lot of the people reviewing the movie on here state quickly that they are fans of the property and I think they are missing the biggest flaw in the film. As someone who has not played any Warcraft game I was lost throughout most of the film as it seemed to feel no need to explain itself. As for the characters in the film well I don't know if they are from the games or not but very little development is given to them and romantic plot lines seem to appear out of thin air. The CGI was god awful for such a big summer movie at too many points that at several moments I audibly scoffed at the film. It then confidently sets up sequels all throughout the ending while you yawn as CG creatures beat each other up and Shrek Moses washes down a stream. I'll say it again though I don't care if this movie was made for the fans because the fans will have a hard time showing this movie to anyone else to get them intrigued in this series.

I love the genre and I am a fan of Warcraft. I left the theater feeling 'meh'. The visuals and scenery were great, the general idea behind the plot was not bad, the story and the characters really killed it for me.

The actors themselves seemed to migrate straight from a LARP festival (live action role playing - try youtubing it if you aren't familiar with the term) to the movie. Almost as if they took hardcore warcraft addicts and cosplayers and asked them to star in the movie. Rather geeky, a bit awkward, cool only to other LARP'ers, and not very believable in the roles they were supposed to be playing. Ironically, the CGI orcs were the most believable characters in the movie. None of the human characters really fit the roles; rather, it seemed like each actor just wished that they fit that role. I suppose this is why there are so many positive user reviews....a lot of warcraft addicts can relate to the actors and as such are wiling to overlook glaring story line and acting flaws. Not that being a geek is a bad thing, but in large part due to the actors, I don't think this movie will have very much appeal outside of the geek warcraft culture.

The story line relies on an over-abundance of suspended disbelief by the audience. I don't mean suspend disbelieve that magic and orcs exist, I mean believe that the 'guardian' is extremely jealous of a mage trainee with no basis or foundation for that jealousy; believe that the main hero can effortlessly stand up to the orcs who rip through other soldiers like rag dolls; believe in two main characters falling in love even though there is no apparent chemistry or buildup between them; and many many many more examples. It skips character development almost entirely at many points and in other places is completely inconsistent (like the guardian being unbelievably and overly jealous of the mage hero, yet constantly alluding to that hero becoming the next guardian, even though the mage hero shows no desire or actions of trying to, or even wanting to, become the guardian).

All in all, the story felt a lot like a semi-decent fanfic; lots of missing information and plot gaps, lots of inconsistencies, and not very polished or professional, which really sucks for an epic multi-million dollar hollywood blockbuster.… Expand

First, the entire movie felt like nothing more than oneLet me start by stating that I am an avid WoW player. As such, I was really looking forward to this movie to see where they would go with it....and ended up extremely disappointed.

First, the entire movie felt like nothing more than one large extended cut scene, very similar to what is already in the game at various achievement places. Why do we need an entire movie of cut scenes? Moving past that, the theme and story line lead into how the current expansion, Warlords of Draenor, began. Content that is now 2+ years old, with the next expansion being released in just over 2 months! So I simply paid to see the beginning of all the content that is ending?? It would have made much more sense to be a lead into the next expansion Legion, to possibly draw new players into the game with excitement of what's to come.

The only reason I gave even the 3/10 score I did is due to my being a fan of the game itself.… Expand

I found the movie to be completely lackluster. The pacing was horrible and the plot only made sense if you're a fan. If a viewer is required to go to a third party media (games, books) to understand the plot of a movie, it's simply a bad movie. Warcraft was made simply for the spectacle of being made.

Blizzard had an opportunity to take a very lore rich franchise - as rich as any established literary franchise - and expand its influence but instead chose to make a fan service film with CGI that we'll likely look back and laugh at in a couple years. If you're not an existing fan, ignore all these highly rated reviews because, like the movie, they are written for and by Warcraft fans who are incapable of understanding that a review is inherently a comparison between other movies in the genre. Putting this movie in the same class as other high fantasy films (think Avatar) is simply a joke.

Given its niche audience, it would have been better off as a worldwide straight-to-digital release. Expect the Blu-ray to come out the same time as the next WoW expansion (in a mere two and a half months) because if there's one thing Blizzard excels at, it's marketing and hype.… Expand

Those, who like myself, have played the game and know the lore, willThose who haven't played any game from the Warcraft or WoW franchises would not enjoy this movie as the won't understand the backstory of the characters and their motives. Those, who like myself, have played the game and know the lore, will understand what is going on but won't enjoy the movie as well as they already know the story.
I will start with the good elements. The creators of this movie made an obvious effort to bring the world of Warcraft to life on the big screen. The seasoned WoW player will be amazed by seeing the places, elements and characters of this game in a movie. Nostalgia, that is all I got from this movie, on the positive side.
In good fantasy movies, certain elements must be present. First: a good introduction to the fantasy world where the movie occurs, how it is different from our reality and the main plot of the movie. Second: a good introduction to the main characters, and if they are not human, what makes them different and what are their backstories. And thirdly, and this applies to any type of movie, character development; events and conversations designed to reveal the personalities, tendencies and motives of each of the main characters.
In this movie, there was not much room for any of that. Add to that the fact that the dialogues are serious and the acting is textbook to the point of making it seem like a high budget porno movie, with a few action scenes. What also stroke me as odd is the bland, almost lame dull soundtrack which is worlds apart from the great music from Warcraft and WoW games. The overall screenplay assumes the viewer is already familiar with the characters, the places and the backstory on which this movie stands. The visual effects are good but not great but the outfits of humans appeared amateurish and stupid and considering the time gap between the two, they are not much better than say: Power Rangers!
This movie was a huge disappointment, something which we WoW players have grown accustomed to. It looks like a sad attempt at creating a prequel to a series of movies about a game franchise that once was the best but now is only a pale hollow version of what it used to be. To a non-gamer, this move is a lot of hype and marketing (which is blizzard's greatest strengths to be honest), a lot of money spent on a movie that doesn't really offer much in the way of storytelling, which is generally what fantasy movies are all about, and that closes with an open ending that doesn't resolve anything.… Expand

Blizzard has tried to stuff the story of Warcraft: Orcs and Humans and what led up to it into a one and a half hour movie. That's far too much content for such a short time and in the movie, it shows. The opening scenes are a barely explained whirlwind rush of plot devices, scenes, characters and barely explained settings that no person not familiar with Warcraft will understand. Acting is stiff, dialogue is unnatural and forced, the plot doesn't have the time it needs to be properly fleshed out and to end after all that, the movie leaves plenty of room for a 'sequel'. Blizzard's ability to handle storytelling in games and movies has been slipping for a while now. I just hope that Blizzard either learns from their numerous mistakes with this and if they do try a sequel, to do it properly. But again, Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness had an equally long story. You can't fit that properly into a movie. Giving it a 2/10 because they put effort into the CGI.… Expand

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… Expand

This is pretty bad, not quite brokeback mountain bad, but pretty terrible all the same. Mind you, warcraft the game is crap too, so its not like the movie had much to go on, the fans will like it though

This is truly a depressing experience. It’s rare to feel such pity for a major studio movie, but watching Warcraft bend over backwards to set up a sequel is like watching a desperate paramedic apply CPR to someone who’s clearly been dead forThis is truly a depressing experience.

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

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.… Expand

Horrible. Fair enough if you go for the CGI, but beyond that this movie was just dumb.

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...… Expand

I didnt mind it, but it felt a little flat and uninspired. There are much better films out there.
