Top 10 Video Game Movies as Ranked by IMDb Users10 of 10
1. Warcraft: The Beginning (2016) — Rating: 7.7
Warcraft was just released in the U.S. on June 10, 2016, which is 10 years after the film was first announced as a co-production with game developer Blizzard Entertainment. Warcraft, based on the video games and novels, is set in the world of Azeroth following the clash of orcs and humans. When Duncan Jones came on to direct in 2013, he changed the script so that it was 50-50 between the two factions of the Horde and Alliance, instead of just having the humans be the good guys.
This initial high rating on IMDb may not last; it's only from 35,000 users, based on the early release in markets around the world. But as of now, the IMDb user reviews are pretty positive, with one fan writing, “This movie broke the video game movie curse with style. Warcraft surprised me even though I am a "Warcraft" fan. If there are sequels, Warcraft could easily be this generation’s equivalent of The Lord of the Rings. The acting was great, the effects were spot on, and the action was epic."
