10 Movies Nobody Wants To Admit Suck

7. Warcraft

Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny
Legendary Pictures

Of all the video game franchises to adapt into a movie, Warcraft certainly seemed like one of the most potential-rich considering both the depth of its world and popularity of the brand. But once you get over the undeniably impressive VFX about 10 minutes into the film, the mask slips and Warcraft reveals itself to be yet another soulless, mega-budget fantasy flick that desperately wishes it was The Lord of the Rings.

Much as many fans might swear that it wasn't that bad, no - Warcraft truly was that bad

Beyond its yawn-inducingly formulaic plot, Warcraft's packed with tiresome expository dialogue, the practical sets look hilariously cheap, and the film somehow managed to coax a bad performance out of Ben Foster; a cardinal sin if there ever was one.

Warcraft was so intent on laying the track for a franchise that it forgot to actually make a single interesting movie first. And while many continue to bang the drum for this film, the fact that it underperformed at the box office suggests that even few among the die-hard fandom truly vibed with it.
