Warcraft
SCORE: 53
Family Friendly Gaming purchased a copy of Warcraft on Bluray + DVD +
Digital HD during the Black Friday sales. We had medium hopes for it,
and it was one of the movies we watched on the march to Christmas. Sadly
Warcraft is the worst movie of the ones we purchased for the march to
Christmas. In fact after watching this movie a couple of times I am
still unclear on so many things.
Warcraft has black magic, blood, gore, violence, death, stealing of life
to open a portal, bad language, mythical beasts, and more. There is
plenty of magic in Warcraft. The magic is very over powered in this
movie too. It was interesting to see there is a price to pay for the
usage of magic in Warcraft. Especially the Fel Magic. Which is the
blackest kind of magic and reminded me of voodoo.
The story in Warcraft made no sense to me. So many characters get killed
off in this movie. It is really hard to bond with any of them since they
wind up dead. Evil is allowed to flourish in this movie. The main bad
guy continues to exist and remain in power. I suspect that is so they
can have a sequel. Orcs and humans try to work together in Warcraft.
Sadly they are betrayed on both sides.
There was plenty of bonus content on the Blu-ray version of Warcraft.
The bonus content is deleted/extended scenes, gag real, origin story,
the fandom of Warcraft, behind the magic, bonds of brotherhood motion
comic, teaser, The World of Warcraft on film, stunts, VFX, Warcraft The
Madame Tussauds Experience, and more. Most it made my skin crawl.
Especially how much time is wasted on this game. I think of all of the
suffering in this world and how that time could be spent helping those
in need.
In the past I played some of the Warcraft games. They were okay in my
book. The control schemes left a lot to be desired. I never got into the
online only game because I am not into those. I prefer console games
anyways. I hope offline versions of Warcraft make a return. Warcraft
showed me that I am not missing anything by not playing World of
Warcraft. There are so many better experiences for families.
