Obscure, relevant WoW reference
Hi, Destructoid! I’m back again to let you know that we just reviewedWarcraftover at Flixist (Yes, Dtoid has a sister movie site. Yes, we’re awesome. Yes, come read our words.) In case you didn’t knowWarcraftis a movie based on a video game that a few people here and there enjoy playing. You’re probably already assuming it’s terrible, but honestly it’s not that bad.
It’s not that good either. Here’s an excerpt:
WhenWarcraft(thenWorld of Warcraft) was first announced with Sam Raimi directing, I thought that was pretty perfect. Raimi has a deft touch for handling things that are slightly absurd. His almost tongue-in-cheek direction would fit nicely with some high fantasy.
Then he left and Duncan Jones came in, and my brain got confused, but also intrigued. Jones, best known forMoon, wasn’t a big blockbuster director, though he clearly knows how to imbue genre films with something more than you’d expect. Things were definitely looking interesting.
