I don't get why the movie was so boring. I'm no Warcraft fan (don't hate it, series just never interested me much), but a fantasy movie with knights and friggin orcs should have been an easy enough movie to make exciting. Watched it with a friend and was struggling to keep awake throughout the film because it dragged on for too long and none of the characters really stood out. A shame, since there are good actors wasted in this thing like Ben Foster, Dominic Cooper and Travis Fimmell.
Is Duncan Jones an incompetent director? I don't think so, given his track record (Moon, Source Code), so maybe it was interference from Blizzard? All I know is what could have been potentially a new series of fantasy films was wasted on one dull movie. A shame.
