"It's a serviceable adaptation, which is to say that it's better than 99 percent of videogame films.
Ultimately, Blizzard got the WarCraft film that they probably wanted, which is to say that it's faithful enough to satisfy the diehards while being just good enough to warrant a sequel. Decent, but not up to their usual standard of quality. Those disappointed by WarCraft's first film foray should take heart, though. Everyone knows that WarCraft II was when the series really got good."
Kat's one of the rising stars I have the pleasure of editing, be on the look out for a blurb of her writing in the paper this week:
"A serviceable adaptation... 3/5 stars" - Kat Bailey, USGamer.net
Editing's a breeze when you've got talent like this on your team.
And talk about scoops: Warcraft's box office performance this weekend won't determine whether there's a sequel, as many would believe. No, the movie's already good enough to warrant a sequel. And the trajectory of a video game(or "videogame" as Kat likes to put it) based movie series will mirror the trajectory of the decades old games it's based on, always. As a Warcraft fan from way back, I am pumped!
