If you have been following the games for a long time, and are super fan of WoW, you will probably enjoy this movie, as it serves as a prequel to the games. Sure it was visually appealing, which I’ll get more into in the next section, but I really didn’t care for it all too much. I don’t know if it is because I’ve been out of touch with the video game series for quite some time, but I felt really bored as I watched this movie. The story that it presented felt really bland to me. However, with all of that said, this movie wasn’t really good at all. While I didn’t get too involved with the MMORPG, I loved the RTS games and seeing some of the characters from those games on the screen really hit home. Despite receiving several negative reviews and a pretty poor box office experience after its release, the film grossed $433 million worldwide, allowing it to surpass Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time as the highest-grossing video game adaptation of all time, although it is still considered to be a financial disappointment based on its $160 million budget and likely high marketing cost.Īfter watching Warcraft, I couldn’t help but feel a little bit nostalgic because I had played the original games throughout my childhood and a little bit of World of Warcraft when it had first been released. Originally announced in 2006, Warcraft made its US theatrical debut in June 2016. Portraying the initial encounters between the humans and the orcs, we get to see various scenes take place in a variety of locations that were originally established in the video games. Based on the video game series and novels under the same name, the story takes place within the fantasy world of Azeroth. Warcraft, or as it’s alternatively known as, Warcraft: The Beginning, is an action-fantasy film that was directed by Duncan Jones.
