Sam Raimi Signed to direct Warcraft movie = Me excited

[YoTa_BoX]

I think this should be an awesome movie, even for people that dont play the game. There is a ton of back story to go on and you know there is going to be epic fight scenes. Im thinking some where along the lines of Lord of the rings epicness. Im very excited about this movie, and i think it will be the best video game adaptation so far. They picked a perfect directer, seeing as he did films like Evil Dead which is one of my fave movies of all time.
