Warcraft
As a player of WoW, I do want to see the movie, but as a lover of movies, I will probably hate it. Can you please elaborate a little bit about your experience watching it? Was it horrible? Do you play the game? Did they get things wrong/right?

I played Warcraft aaaages ago. The RTS I mean. And just for a bit so I don't really remember it.
I played WoW for a couple of months when it it was at peak popularity - because a friend was really, really into it. It was fun but too much of a time sink.
I think as a WoW fan you'll appreciate some things others won't, including me. As a film lover, meh. It's so so. It looks very CG but it's quite nice looking CG.

That is the one reason I do play it.
So, as far as videogame movies go, it's not (

I've never seen a Boll film so I can't say.

I liked the main orc guy in the Warcraft movie. I liked the way he was animated and performed, but besides that I hardly remember anything about the movie. So, not super-memorable. See it if it pops up on a streaming service, I say.

Warcraft is decent if unspectacular. It's certainly miles above crap like the Uwe Boll video game movies and the Mortal Kombat movies. Like the Prince of Persia movie, it's competently made and not a total mess.

Personally, Warcraft is my favourite movie based on a computer game, although that is showering it with faint praise.
By contrast, my sister - who isn't particularly au fait with games - much prefers the Assassin's Creed and Prince of Persia movies, fwiw.

MI Fallout. Surprisingly good.

Right, I'll have to see the Warcraft movie now, so I can whine about all the details they got wrong later. But I'll casually wait until it's on some free TV channel, I won't throw any more money at Blizzard, I'm already sending them a heap of cash every month so that my undead warlock can be horribly mocked and belittled by 13-year-olds who are way better at the game than I am.

Ant Man and The Wasp
I fell asleep.
Twice.
But I was just really tired. It was pretty good.
