Warcraft Review – 4 Ups And 6 Downs

The broad scope of the plot is easy enough to follow because its motivated by character decisions rather than intangible powers, but the characters are so uninteresting and their decisions so confusing - either rooted in that vague mythology or relying on random coincidence - that youre lost again.
Youll sit through action sequences but be distracted by trying to figure out how portals and fels and guardians all fit into why this orc is saving that human hes never met and... There were entire scenes where I had no idea what was going on and it was incredibly hard to not just give up.
