Jun 10, 2016 · The new "Warcraft" movie, based on the long-running series of fantasy games and the global phenomenon MMORPG, could delight or disappoint both audiences in different ways. So to find out how well...
Absolutely! The critics are really slamming it, but if you read the reviews, a lot of what they are saying is fairly biased or is coming from those who don't enjoy/understand fantasy movies or Warcraft. Fans of the games are giving it good reviews, most around 7/10, and saying it sets up for a sequel really well.

The prologue of "Warcraft", which director Duncan Jonesdescribes as inspired by spaghetti westerns, looks like a flash-forward to the Warcraft era that's most familiar to players, in which the battle between the Alliance and the Horde has been raging for generations. We'd hazard a guess that it's set in a region called the Barrens, judging by some ...
The Fel is ancient and corrupting stuff. This eerie green smokey goop is essentially very powerful magic that requires a sacrifice to work. Opening a portal from the orc homeworld of Draenor to the human realm of Azeroth was a massive spell, hence the need for the nasty Gul'dan to suck the life out of so many poor prisoners. Fel is associated with ...
The Guardians of Tirisfal was a legacy of super-powerful mage types, entrusted to watch over Azeroth and defend the realm from the Burning Legion. Being Guardian was a pretty important job, so it's not surprising that King Llane takes Medivh's advice seriously. Unfortunately, Medivh was the last in the line, meeting his end thanks to Sargeras, the ...
In the game, Khadgar was sent by elite magi the Kirin Tor to be Medivh's apprentice. The film doesn't explain why Khadgar has been expelled by his magical masters.
Oof, now you're asking. We've covered Fel dark magic, but the most common magic is arcane magic (the blue stuff in the film). It's just like Harry Potter magic really, summoned into action through spells and knowledge. Doing magic in Warcraft also requires something called mana, which depletes as you cast spells, and needs to be regenerated before ...
Actually she's half draenai -- at least in the lore of the games. The draenai are a sort of blue-ish humanoid alien race, who lived alongside the orcs on their homeworld of Draenor...until it all went to pot following the orcish invasion of Azeroth, that is. You can see some draenai in the film: they're the poor blighters in cages near the start th...
Dwarves are good at building things, this much every fantasy fan knows. Yes, guns -- or boomsticks -- are powerful, but in a world heavily charged with magic, owning one doesn't make you an unkillable god-king.
Well spotted. She's uncredited, but IMDb says it's her and that's good enough for us. Close seems to be playing Alodi, who was the first ever Guardian of Tirisfal, and is a man in the lore of the games. It's not clear what the significance of that cameo is -- maybe we'll see more in a sequel.
The film focuses on the humans and orcs at the heart of the conflict, but there are dozens. Let's take the playable races in World of Warcraft, starting with those who side with the humans on the Alliance side. They are the draenai, dwarves, gnomes and worgen (essentially werewolves). On the Horde side are tauren (a race of giant cow-people), troll...
Possible spoilers for a "Warcraft" sequel here (which may happen judging by the international box office performance, if not the critical reception). That baby is Thrall, Durotan's son and future warchief of the whole Horde. In the lore of the games, he's raised among humans as a gladiator and a slave, but eventually escapes and rises through the o...

A film that only serves to set up the many sequels that will never get made, Warcraft is all ambition and no execution. Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 13, 2019
Jun 10, 2016 · There’s a lot of borrowing going on in “Warcraft.” Once they arrive, they attack the humans for control of the land: knights led by Durotan’s counterpart, the noble but personality-free Lothar ( Travis Fimmel , the Brooklyn pickle entrepreneur of Rebecca Miller ’s “Maggie’s Plan”).
