Let me be frank when I say this, Warcraft the film is nearly unwatchable. I, somehow absolutely adored everything Duncan Jones did in the film but only because of my many years spent with the long running Blizzard franchise. If I had no prior knowledge of, well, anything happening in this film, I'd probably have laughed and left disappointed. Despite the very low reviews for the film nearly a decade in the making, Warcraft has gone on to break records in almost everywhere but stateside. As a matter of fact, it's now the highest grossing video game film of all time beating out Prince of Persia. This might not be terribly shocking considering at one point the MMO version of the PC title, World of Warcraft, boasted an incredible 10 million players world wide. The movie's beautiful to look at, regardless of some ridiculous moments and it's an amazing feeling to see these characters and units from the games up on the big screen but for new comers, the movies a bit convoluted. The future is uncertain for the film franchise due to the fact that Warcraft grossed $37 million in the U.S. and over $200 million in China. Whether we'll get to dive back in to one of the most popular franchise has yet to be seen but if you were a fan, (like I oddly was) then keep your fingers crossed.
