Movie Review: WARCRAFT (Review #2)

***THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS***

I have always been an avid fan of the Warcraft games and all it's lore, it started with Warcraft 3 for me and continued on into World of Warcraft. Furthermore, I have loved everything Duncan Jones has done so far with Moon (2009) and Source Code (2011), I feel as though his films are different and he is a very talented filmmaker. There has been a large amount of dislike towards this film but I'm going to say straight up that I loved it. It's not perfect, but I felt that there were so many great moments that outweigh the flaws, especially as I'm someone who feels as though I have a deep understanding of Warcraft lore.

Movie Review: WARCRAFT

It feels almost obligatory to give a disclaimer before starting this review: I have never, ever remotely had anything to do with the Warcraft lore and games. I had literally no idea what the story would be. Yet, I am a very, very big fan of fantasy and Duncan Jones, and that is why I was excited to see this film, despite the negative backlash it had in its first week of reviews, and let me tell you that I've rarely seen such unmotivated negativity. Despite not living up to its potential, Jones and Legendary Pictures have put out a very worthy fantasy film that was actually very close to being great...up until its last ten minutes.
