re: Went to a screening of Warcraft tonight, wow... (Small spoilers)

I was never optimistic about this movie. Not because I didn't think Warcraft COULDN'T appeal to new audiences, but because of the execution of the movie itself.

I've been beating this drum over and over. People want more "real" and less CGI in their movies. Fully CGI characters are hard to relate to. Sure, there are exceptions, but even a great story, like the Hobbit, suffers in movie form from CGI exhaustion.

If you can't do a live action movie without Warcraft's level of CGI, then you need to make it fully animated. Unleash the restrictions of reality, and no one will expect it to be bound by what's real. Warcraft could have been made into a high quality animated film. It's animated cinematic openings for its games are top-notch. That's what they should have gone for.
