So much squandered potential. Warcraft has an incredibly rich lore, hundreds of memorable characters, and they even had an entire expansion before to build up to this one. And then proceeded to tell the most boring story ever. What’s worse, they even committed the crime of making the player character have no place in it. Seriously, who thought it’d be a good idea to have a story in which the player factions (Horde and Alliance) don’t even show up?

Gameplay is still fun because it’s WoW, but gosh what a narrative trainwreck.

I can totally see this being decent if they stripped away at least half of it and made 3 or 4 decent episodes, but in true Netflix fashion they opted for 8 bad ones instead.

A show that doesn’t really know what it wants to say, with a pacing so awful that often killed any sort of interest in what was going on.

Okay, first of all I think this is an amazing movie, it looks and sounds amazing, all the characters are extremely creative, it’s a beautiful coming-of-age story and it’s a major pop culture icon. But watching it felt like a bit of a chore, I can’t really explain why. Good thing the ratings here are about my enjoyment of the movies, not their “objective” quality 😅

This one was a tough watch. After the good surprise that Season 6 was, this one never really stuck the landing. It gives up the plot that Season 6 sets in like 15 minutes and then just drags on for 23 episodes. I never really knew if I should take a scene seriously or if it was meant to be a comic relief - and to be honest, if feels like the show didn’t know either.

I gotta say the Bobby arc on the second half of the season was pretty good, though.

Whatever this movie had working on its favor on the first half is completely lost on the latter half. A lot of disjointed narratives that don’t seem to go anywhere.

Everything about this movie is great. Atmosphere, acting, sounds, and how it plays with historical context. It’s meant to make you uncomfortable, and it succeeds in doing so.

Too bad it just didn’t hit me the way I think it should have. I get why it should have been great, it just wasn’t for me.
