12 Bafflingly High 2016 IMDb Scores You Will Not Believe
5. Warcraft
IMDb Rating: 7.0
Expectations were high for Warcraft once it was announced Duncan Jones – the director of Moon and Source Code – would be taking charge. Here was a guy who crafted two great thrillers with memorable lead performances, plus Jones is a gamer geek himself, so who better to take on the challenge?
That was the theory; the reality is Warcraft fell victim to many of the pitfalls that plague other game adaptations. The story is bloated and confusing, and it comes off as a sub-par Lord Of The Rings wannabee, despite the occasional cool moment.
That didn’t stop it being the most successful video game adaptation to date, mostly thanks to the Chinese box-office. This success led to Warcraft receiving a quite respectable 7.0 on IMDb, despite only being slightly better than the standard video game movie; aka it’s bearable.
