The record for movie adaptations of video games is just atrocious … and it’s not getting any better with the release of “Warcraft.” Fantasy movies don’t fare so well either, so it’s got the double whammy effect. “Warcraft” has been in development for literally 10 years, when the "World of Warcraft" online game was just reaching its peak, with millions of people playing characters from a broad range of fantastical races and abilities. There are also some precursor strategy games, novels, collectible figures, replica weapons and other offshoots of a multi-billion-dollar empire.
