I liked that the orcs weren’t cardboard cutout villains. There is a strong emphasis on loyalty and self sacrifice. The special effects are remarkable, and the moviemakers have created a totally believable fantasy world with many honorable characters. My sons, who enjoyed the game during their youth, assured me I would.
Neutral-I really wanted to like this movie. See list of Relevant Issues-questions-and-answers. Violence: Very Heavy / Profanity: Minor / Sex/Nudity: Moderate But it will probably be an insult to general fantasy film fans, who know a good fantasy film when they see it.
WOW HITS 2016 CHRISTIAN MOVIE
They’ll probably enjoy seeing the animated figures come to life in a movie plot. I guess I could recommend this film to fans of the video game.
But watching this movie felt like wasting two hours straight playing a video game. The movement, talking, and special effects are very believable. And on that note, I WAS impressed with the CGI. While good does win over evil, this film has nothing new or thought-provoking to offer. Some Christians may also want to be aware that fantasy magic is used. There is also a (sort-of?) sacrifice at the end, although it comes with questionable messages about war and killing. To be fair, there are some positive messages to be drawn from the film about living in peace. The orcs aren’t really scary, but they are unpleasantly ugly. It’s just another war between humans and fantasy creatures. It really tries to tell a story with good dialog, but there is nothing original about the plot. I’ve never played the video game, but I hear it’s more violent than the movie.įor teens on up, there’s barely anything to worry about, except this: Is the movie worth your time? Personally, just staying awake through this film was drudgery for me. Most of the stabbings and deaths are offscreen, and on the few occasions when anything more is shown, it’s done to an orc (thus making it less disturbing than if it was done to a human). There are some pretty intense battle sequences, but the violence doesn’t reach the levels of extreme because there is barely any blood.
WOW HITS 2016 CHRISTIAN PLUS
The only bad language is one use of b*stard and hell, and the only thing sexual in nature is a wholesome scene in which an orc lovingly strokes his wife’s pregnant belly, plus some cleavage and shirtless males. Come to think of it, it’s probably one of the cleaner movies I’ve seen in a long time, other than the violence. And I agree that a movie has to meet those standards to be good, but I would add that just because a movie meets those standards doesn’t make it good. What standards does a movie have to meet to be good? The first thing a Biblical Christian would say is that it can’t consistently reinforce any messages that run contrary to the Bible, and that it can’t have gratuitous sex, nudity, profanity, or offensive violence.
