I enjoyed the movie and would love to see a sequel. I watch it whenever it's on TV.
loved the movie, i hope there's another one coming

Baby Thrall still haunts my nightmares
Movie was eh. Felt rushed and skipped over major lore points that started the first war. It felt like they dragged the movie through mud pits of carelessness.
I'm not a fan of the movie for many reasons. But I currently still have 3 of the Alliance Halberds props that still hang on my wall. They are huge and pretty cool. So thumbs up for props. Thumbs down for the movie that should have been so much better.
It was good. Not amazing, but still good. Would like to see a follow-up.
It had a poorly written script and a story that was all over the place. CGI was well done, and the Orc portion was the best part of the film. It would be nice to get another Warcraft film, however, the cinematic folks AT Blizzard should just make an all-CGI film. They do some incredible work and anyone here and fans of WoW would have to agree, that would of made MORE sense than a live-action take. Here's hoping for a better film (all CGI/animated or live-action). After watching the film again all these years later, I'd give it a solid 5/10. It's not awful, but it's not entirely coherent to a big budget film with enjoyable characters, a less-convoluted story, and a more focused effort vs trying to equally tell stories of both faction main characters.
Honestly, my favorite part of the whole thing was the opening scene, with Durotan and Draka in their tent discussing baby names. I would love to see a prequel story focused more on them, and really appreciated the Orcs being shown as PEOPLE, not just antagonists.That scene really came to mind when we witness Thrall talking with Draka in Korthia, and she commented, "did you think I wouldn't recognize Durotan's eyes?" I'm so glad they finally gave them some closure.
Liked it but as a lore-buff it was a huge confusing mess and the few bad sets and badly instructed actors really didn't do it any favors. Loved the orcs and the setting but that's about it, a watch it and forget it deal for me and I suspect many others regardless if they ever played WoW.
And the mixed feeling of really wanting to like it but also being very disappointed still lasts.
I had a couple of issues with it, but it was overall decent. Shame the plans for a trilogy were canned because I thought Duncan's vision for the story was interesting (like the tauren at Durnholde who tells Thrall about Kalimdor).
A lot of people didn't like it, but I thought it was good. There's no way they could have pleased everyone anyway, that's just how it goes when adapting from a video game most of the time, especially with one with such a huge lore.
The best thing about the movie was the xmogs we got.
Honestly I liked it a lot, to see the game that I've been playing for 10 years to finally appear in the big screen. Yes it could be better, but still it was pretty good imho. I hope they make a sequel like an arthas movie or maybe a series? So much lore and little stories, and they could build on them. It doesn't have to be live-action because surely it's very pricy with the cgi and all, they could make an animated series like see Arcane from LoL how that great it went.
I'd absolutely love a series about warcraft, I think it's just way too much stuff for a movie. The amount of available lore and spectacular landscapes that could be showed in full size (in contrast to WoWs size) and glory would be amazing. I imagine a style of series where every season would touch on one story arc that shows off some of the larger encompassing story plots.A huge amount of potential, and - looking at how GoT turned out - a huge risk when the proper guidance is lacking.
I disliked it. For me it was so... soulless. Also what made me dislike it even more was Travis Fimmel playing Anduin Lothar as if he still played Ragnar and Lothar's inexplicable contempt for Khadgar. I mean, what the fuh? They were supposed to be close friends.
It was trope-heavy and didn't reinvent the wheel, but neither did Warcraft's lore to begin with. I found it an enjoyable watch and the orcs CGI is absolutely astounding: easily some of the finest work done in film and is an example of what CG work in movies can do when done and used well. I think its downfall came from the fact it is a Warcraft movie for Warcraft fans; that is, it doesn't try to draw anyone else into it. That, and the human aspects of it were pretty lacklustre compared to the orcs.If it got a sequel, I'd demand the original team behind it to come back. The idea of anyone in Blizzard's current writing or lore department touching Arthas' story makes me want to vomit.
