A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

If you have not played the game or read the book you will love this, very enjoyable and I can not wait to see the new one. There are lot of people who have read the book or played the game, for them this was always going to a hard sell. You can not make everyone happy. Sound and visual were amazing, story moved quickly but I assume there was a lot to cover in the 1st edition.

What I really liked about the film was...uhm, erm...(Yawn) what was I saying? Was it the visual effects? A resounding no, as it was so overdone, I might have well been watching the game. The acting? Nope, unconvincing. The story? Ya-a-a-awn. The dialogue? Wha-ha-ha-ha-ha!! I'm not really sure what to make of this film. It was entertaining, I suppose, on a certain level, but in general I just didn't like it. The 'love story' was so utterly pathetic and annoying. And what's with the Biblical Moses 'child-in-basket' moment??? THAT was laughable. I mean seriously?!The film ends with an obvious hope for a sequel (also alternatively being called Warcraft: The Beginning), but I'm not sure I'd like to see it.

Back when this came out a lot of people spoke very positively about this. In fact when I first heard about it I was positive I wouldn't like it, I'm just not into movies based on video games. But that very thing was what caused me to enjoy it so much, because I knew this was based on a video game, I could totally accept the characters and the visuals in this film, and they blended in with the live actors so well it was hard to tell how it was done Very nice addition to Duncan Jones/Zowie Bowie's (I can't believe that this is the guy making these movies) repertoire, I remember when the kid was born. And now he's made a few really great movies, including source code. I liked Paula Patton from ghost protocol, and I believe I saw her in mirrors as well. There were a few other names that I always like seeing, Ben Foster and Dominic Cooper, and Toby Kebbel and Clancy brown, not to mention Ruth Negga from agents of shield. But the St. Louis film critics association should get stuffed, awarding this "worst film of the year". I award them "worst film critics ever". This is just amazing because the buzz about this film was highly positive at the time and by reading through this now, you think it was a total flop. But it actually wasn't. Everybody that I spoke to loved this film, all of my friends, and I heard that this was great from more sources than I had expected too: I was expecting people to say that they hated it. But in fact the only people who hated it where the St. Louis film critics Association. It was that positive buzz that made me interested in this in the first place, and here comes the SLFCA to quash that. Well the hell with them, I will have to remember that if they ever award any other films worst of the year, I will have to immediately go out and watch those films The thing that amazes me is that I normally don't go for this kind of thing but it was done so well. I had been wondering why there hasn't been talk about a sequel, because I thought this movie was going to be the first one in some kind of new Ur fantasy trilogy, but thanks to the SLFCA and other trolls, we don't get to see this story told any further. Thanks a lot.

First I must say that I am not familiar with the game or book series yet, but from my perspective I really enjoyed the movie and hope that they make more. This movie has also made me interested in reading the books and playing the games, so while I can't say whether or not it stayed true to the story/game, I can say it got me interested in them. Again, I really hope they make another movie!!!!
