13 Hours - 4.5/5
Pretty one-sided storytelling, but I loved it. Loved it! "Explosive Michael Bay" at it again!
In the Deep - 3.5/5
I finally found a shark film that I like after years of waiting.

The plot though was shallow and flat. People who have played WoW probably knew most of the characters and places, which automatically generates more depth to how they experience the movie. However for people who have not played the game, it just goes randomly from one place to another; from one character to another while it's unclear exactly how they fit into this fictional world. It's vital when you make a movie that's based in a fictional world that people get the impression that this movie is nothing more than one particular episode in that world and not that the world only exists in the movie and it's here Warcraft kinda failed. They went from one location to another while it was not clear how far apart these locations are and where they stand overall in this world. The only geographical overview we saw, was when they were having a war meeting to discuss their next course of action and this wasn't really much to go on. Same thing with the different characters and races. How do dwarves, elves, men and the like relate to one another? What is the Guardian? All of these things only seem to have been added for the sake of the movie rather than being a genuine part of the fictional world.
It already started with the beginning of the movie where you see a knight fighting an orc and then they jump back in time to explain how it all started, so essentially the movie behaves like a prequel, but it's a prequel of nothing as it's the first movie. An eternal conflict between orcs and men was a non-existing issue. So the creators messed up in how they wanted the movie to be perceived.
Terrific soundtracks and visual effects and I liked the props they used. It bothers me when they use half-assed props in fantasy movies as it makes everything look silly, for example Eragon was a huge disappointment.

Welp the lore was all about humans and orcs,there shouldn't be much infos on dwaves,elves and dranei here anyways...Dwarvs,dranei,humans and night elves are in one big alliance(there are more but these are the ones you mentioned) wasn't it menitoned that the guardian is the one who protects Azeroth in the movie? Welp I get the idea that there wasn't much of explanation to the cities and places they went in the movie,if you played WoW you'd know so I get that's an issue in the movie.
So what's your rating out of 10? Would you watch the next part?
