Just to note something before I start reviewing this movie - yes, I was, I am, I and will be a World of Warcraft player. Who has not felt in love with WoW after completing his first quest? Who has not eagerly waited for guild raids every Saturday evening? Who has not dreamed of being one day a Gladiator? Haven't we all, WoW players, done that at a particular moment during our journey in Azeroth? Well, I've been through all of the 3 mentioned above. But let's wrap it up for the video game. Both the screen-adaptation and the video game have sentimental value for me, so I might be a little bit more emotional than I should be as a reviewer.

Thank you Duncan Jones, Charles Leavitt, Chris Metzen for bringing "Warcraft" to life! You have fulfilled the big dream of all WoW players, namely adapting the video game into this epic movie. We all have been thirstily waiting for this movie. The subheading says: "The Beginning", well it really is the beginning of a great journey, a journey that we've been into since the first spell we'd cast with our characters.

Many people do not like "Warcraft", though. My theory is that half of the people that have seen the movie had not known what WoW or Warcraft is until they entered the cinema hall. That is where the problem comes from. Warcraft players, of course vote from 6 stars and above. As for the non-players, the people that have never played that game and have no understanding of what a game it is, their vote of course drops radically - below 6 stars. Besides, 40% of the people have rated it with 10 stars. Even Star Wars : Ep. VII hasn't got that much 10's ! Most of the fantasy movies have got up to 20% 10 stars from all votes. You don't see that every day!

Anyway... What a movie this was! Boy, was it a pleasure watching "Warcraft"!

The new Marvel blockbuster "Captain America - Civil War" is precisely the kind of movie that we've all NOT been waiting for, namely - stodgy, packed with every superhero that that the directors Anthony and Joe Russo could get their hands on. What were the writers thinking when they included Natasha Romanoff, or the so called Black Widow in the script? Is she really a superhero? Or maybe being a double agent is considered as some kind of a super power?

Why was it so cool to pick as many superheroes as they could and put them in the movie? This kind of philosophy does not add any positive points to the movie, even the opposite - it makes it look like a stage audition for teenagers possessing superpowers, which each one of the teens want to boast with. I went into the local cinema hall with the belief that this movie will not be like the others prior to it, namely the two Marvel's The Avengers and the two Captain Americas. Alas it did not meet my expectations. It happened to be just another predictable superhero- based movie with all its no-twists-and-turns and especially the trade mark of all movies of this type - the unique score that is present during the climax scenes, when your favorite superhero is looking into the wander, with his hands on his waist and saying some really inspirational words about the prior battle or the upcoming future (just like SAN ANDREAS). The ONLY suspense that I had to be kept in was when the Black Panther was on his way to remove his helmet.

Sorry to say it, but this is yet another dull high-budget movie that is probably designed only for teens and kids that could stay all the 2 and a half hours watching a dozen superheroes fight with each other.

I clicked the play button with huge expectations for this movie, alas 'Reservoir Dogs' did not show any evidence of being a classic one admired by most of the critics. The much-loved Quentin Tarantino impressed with his first work, which definitely shouldn't be considered as one of the best crime thrillers of all time. It would be a big mistake to think of it as one.

'Reservoir Dogs' follows the story of a newly formed crew that has the simple, yet dangerous job, which eventually would go terribly wrong - a diamond robbery. The intriguing thing is that the 6 members (1 of them is an undercover cop) of the crew do not know anything about each other, and are given new names by the guy who hired them - Joe Cabot (Lawrence Tierney). The movie starts with a conversation between the members of the crew that of course has nothing to do with the film plot itself, reminiscent of a conversation between Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta in 'Pulp Fiction'. During the robbery (which is just described), when the alarm goes off, Mr. Blonde (Michael Madsen) starts shooting at everyone like a psycho. That's the moment when the police officers arrive and things go nasty very quickly. The criminals should gather in a barn after the jewelry heist. Unfortunately there's only 5 left of them, the other 2 are shot dead.

The best thing of this movie was definitely the acting of Steve Buscemi. In the role of Mr. Pink. Steve shows that he has the ability to give the needed color to a movie with his unique acting.
