The storyline was good, the customes, set design and creature effects also good, good beginning and good ending for it sets the tone for continuation. However, I've guven 3 stars for room for improvement bc the acting could use some work from the actors or better direction/guidance at least. The foundation was solid, as it adds depth although it definitely could have been tweaked further for human relation and connection of the major characters, but there's just too much of the warcraft world to attempt to unravel in 1 movie. The kinggs acting also was poor, but made up by Travis Fimmel whimsical persona, Ben Foster's coldness, & my fav. halfling (half orc and human) played by Paula Patton was believable and also enticing. Unfortunately, it didn't do to well in the box office and now it's in Netflix, in hopes of rebirth. Give it a go with an open mind and enjoy the fantasy world.
