Howard Taylor gave it a pretty good review.  His point of view was
from someone whose last Warcraft Game was the 2nd RTS.
So it sounds like it'd be a fun enough film so long as you're not
carrying too much baggage from the game storylines.

I read somewhere that in China it was absolutely massive opening week.

I'd guess it might let you down if you'd gotten your hopes up for
something super awesome, but otherwise it sounds like a reasonable
solid film.  I'm guessing I should be able to go watch it in the
cinema's this Sunday, so I may have a more accurate opinion next week.
