Looking to escape from his dying world, the orc shaman Gul'dan utilizes dark magic to open a portal to the human realm of Azeroth. Supported by the fierce fighter Blackhand, Gul'dan organizes the orc clans into a conquering army called the Horde. Uniting to protect Azeroth from these hulking invaders are King Llane, the mighty warrior Anduin Lothar (Travis Fimmel) and the powerful wizard Medivh. As the two races collide, leaders from each side start to question if war is the only answer.

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.

It's hard to tell one growling, sabre-toothed orc apart from another.

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.

Warcraft can't help but be a major disappointment, the game all but over as far as this particular fantasy franchise is alas concerned.

Jones has made Warcraft into a film that kept my attention and left me hungry for more.

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.

I watched it on Amazon prime and I really enjoyed the action. Fight scenes could have been longer between main characters. I'm looking forward to the 2 part

A nonsensical plot, wildly inconsistent characters, and way too much mid CGI are just a few reasons why I didn't love this movie. It really probably should have been animated, and I don't say that lightly.

The whole movie was great. If you don't like high fantasy, then you might think about watching something else.

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.

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.
