Warcraft: 10 Reasons It's A Huge Disappointment

10. Awful Editing & Pacing

One thing that's clear early on in the movie is that not even Oscar-winning editor Paul Hirsch could make much sense of what's going on.

Director Duncan Jones claimed this week that 40-or-so minutes were cut from the movie as mandated by Universal, resulting in an incredibly choppy, rushed final product, where Jones cuts hastily between various scenes and locations without allowing the audience to soak this wonderful world in.

That's not all, though: the fight scene editing is confusing and occasionally incomprehensible, and scene transitions often employ a crude cross-fade that makes the whole thing look laughably cheap and amateur.

Though Universal can only be blamed for some of these issues, it does suggest that their interference has severely compromised the end result.
