Re: The Best Movies You've Seen...And Why!

I wouldn't get your hopes up. I too want to watch this Warcraft movie eventually, but certainly not while it's in theater. In vaguely related news, apparently they made a new Ben-Hur movie, and from the trailer it looks like typical CGI awfulness. The one with Charlton Heston is more appropriate to this topic, as it is indeed one of the best movies I've seen.
Back to Warcraft, I've always felt that just like Command & Conquer is a cheesy sci-fi with a good game, Warcraft is a cheesy fantasy with a good game (and Starcraft is a different kind of cheesy sci-fi with a good game). Not that I have a problem with cheesy fantasy per se, but my expectations are suitably low. I have much higher hopes that the upcoming Ghostbusters reboot will be a good movie.
