Watched it again recently, liked it more than before.

Some of the editing and scene-transitions were still choppy, but overall it was a solid video-game adaptation and a good film on its own. I'm not too familiar with WoW lore, but as a film, I liked it. It's a shame it didn't do better financially. People say part of it was due to WoW no longer being popular, but Sonic managed to get several films, and that hasn't been popular with fans for decades, no thanks to mostly bad video games and unimpressive cartoon shows that came out during that time.

The movie wasn't even that woke either, despite coming out in 2016. There were strong female characters, but they weren't girl-bosses or anything, and the men were still competent and smart. The only thing that stood out were some of the dark-skinned guards and the queen, in what's clearly a European-inspired medieval setting. She's supposed to be the main human character's sister, but she's clearly brown while he's white. I thought they were gonna reveal that one of them was adopted, but nope. The king is also white, yet they had a white kid and a brown-ish kid. I started to think if there was blind-casting involved or something. It was a little distracting and immersion-breaking, but otherwise she was a supportive wife and never tried to undermine the king or acted like she had something to prove.

I never really got into WoW, but like many people, I thought the trailers were amazing and would've made for a good movie or tv show. This movie had it's rough spots, but it was good and I would've liked to have seen more.
