What to Know

Critics Consensus

Warcraft has visual thrills to spare, but they -- and director Duncan Jones' distinctive gifts -- are wasted on a sluggish and derivative adaptation of a bestselling game with little evident cinematic value.

Much trust was placed on Legendary Pictures and the talents courted for "Warcraft" to break the film-to-game curse, but this match has ended with a loss. Go to Full Review

04/20/2023 I think it needed more action and no so boring but on the other hand there were people sitting behind us talking through the move the whole time. I couldn't hear the movie too well. See more Richard B @Komard Jan 13 Warcraft is a well-made fantasy adaptation that clearly respects its source material. The film does an excellent job portraying its characters with depth, presenting both the Horde and the Alliance as complex and emotionally grounded rather than purely heroic or villainous. Visually, the movie is impressive, with strong world-building, detailed environments, and effective use of CGI that brings Azeroth to life. The action is solid, the tone is consistent, and the story remains engaging even while handling a large cast and expansive setting. While not flawless, Warcraft succeeds as a thoughtful and sincere fantasy film that stands on its own, offering an enjoyable experience for both longtime fans and newcomers. See more jeremy f @FRITZ1 Dec 29 Whatever the reviews were for this in 2019 are so far wrong , this movie is a swing ! it shoot for the fel abyss and hits like a truck.. if you read this review i would head this warning. Most reviews made about this MOV was paid for and unjest... this movie is a solid 7.8. The acting suffers, but the fantasy and lore topples almost all movies.. It makes me so freaking mad this movie did not get more rec.. it got thrown out as trash but it's literally a GEM. I've watched this movie many times. always good. See more Mpire M @Mpire Dec 27 These North American scums just cost me an opportunity of seeing a sequel of one of the best movies I've ever seen. I just saw a review of someone saying she can't tell one orc from the other cos they all look the same and that's why she gave the movie a low rating...Are you kidding me!!!🤦🏾‍♂️ I hate each and everyone of you that gave Warcraft a low rating and I wish you guys were never born😫 See more JT J @Thatthing Nov 29 This movie has proven itself to be rewatchable and delivers on all the right levels. I only wish it would get a sequel. See more Wayne H Nov 8 Nobody knows what they are on about, if it was a movie about anime ladies in school uniforms they would be about it. Film was pretty good would say 5/10 only because i never played warcraft and half these nerds who reviewed it prolly did, and all of them use an avatar thats slim and in skimpy clothes while really they are sweating in their mums basement. Give it a chance, battle los angeles is worse See more Read all reviews
