Director Duncan Jones keeps the fantasy fun flowing smoothly, but the one thing about the movie that continually stops it flat is franchise seeding. This is unfortunate, because Warcraft spends much of its runtime setting up sequels. As of now, rumors of a sequel continue to persist, though a complete reboot seems more likely, if anything. It did well enough to be successful for a video game adaptation (not a high bar), but not well enough for a sequel to get an instant green light. Critics hated it, and fans were not raring to host Warcraft viewing parties.

You may have a fantasy-sized hole in your life at the moment, so you might consider spooling up Peacock and checking out Warcraft, which is currently streaming on the service.īased on the famous video game series of the same name, the 2016 movie was not the biggest hit. The year isn’t over yet, either, as both His Dark Materials and The Witcher: Blood Origin will arrive before 2022 has played its last trick.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power was right behind it, and for time this year, we had orcs, dragons, and magic running right up to our necks. We had a brilliant first season of The Sandman, and then the Game of Thrones spin-off House of the Dragon roared in and became an instant delight.

Are you missing some magic? We don't blame you, this was a huge year for fantasy on television.
