Warcraft Represents A Darker Time For Video Game Adaptations The Golden Age Had Yet To Begin Close Released in 2016, Warcraft was one of the last failed video game adaptations before the golden age began. The movie was widely disliked by critics, with Warcraft reviews considering it a slow-moving and unoriginal adaptation of its best-selling source material that offers little cinematic value.
Warcraft was one of the last failures before the golden age of video game adaptations began in the late 2010s. After its release, several video game adaptations started to become successful at the box office, including 2019's Detective Pikachu, the Sonic the Hedgehog series , 2022's Uncharted, and 2023's Super Mario Bros. Movie. This success also extends to television with HBO's The Last of Us and Prime Video's Fallout.
