A few more critics weighed in last night, the film's now down to 25% on the Tomatometer but did bump up a little bit yesterday on Metacritic up to 37.

Kevin Harley - Total Film
quote:

Warcraft occasionally manages to feel both rushed and dull, impressively staged and disengaged. True, a few quips in the abyss help to alleviate the lumbering piece. But there aren't enough
Original Score: 3/5


Jack Shepherd - Independent (UK)
quote:

It feels like the fanboy within Duncan Jones got carried away with Azeroth's minute mythology, leading to a film filled with tonnes of references to the wider world but no real soul of its own.
Original Score: 2/5


Olly Richards - Empire Magazine
quote:

At once empty and impenetrable, this brings to mind a mix of John Carter and Dungeons And Dragons, regrettably in both themes and level of enjoyment.
Original Score: 2/5


Appears that people who were/are fans of the game may enjoy as it seems fan responses have been fairly positive, critically won't be a success shamefully. Gotta wonder how it'll do towards the general audience now.

Post-Memorial Day Weekend Update:

Down to 22% on RT, slid 1 point on Metacritic to a 36.

Warcraft makes 31.7 Million on Opening Weekend #1 in 19 out of 20 Markets

A couple new reviews today coming in:

Kevin Harley - The List
quote:

Despite evident passion for the material, Jones rarely musters the persuasive punch needed to bridge the gaps.
Original Score: 3/5



Leigh Singer - IGN Movies
quote:

In a time when too many bloated movie blockbusters feel like they're impersonal video games, it's heartening to see that an actual game can be transformed into an authentically involving movie.
Original Score: 7/10
