I had very poor expectations going in, but was pleasantly surprised by a story that focus on characters that aren't your normal "do good" heroes.
The acting is okay and the effects are on par with the effects you can see on new television shows. The script is better than many of the big budget movies of today, but it's not Lord of the rings. The story is somewhat predictable, but enjoyably.
A few nods to the game can be found throughout the movie, but you could easily get the same enjoyment out of the plot without having ever played the game.
If you like fantasy give it try.
