when this trailer came on before BvS my theater audience was loling (and not in a good way) at this trailer.
It looks cringy, even to the normie crowd.
Will Ragnar make it great?
>>67601534
Doesn't Ziggy Stardust's son have something to do with this?
>>67601613
Yeah but the WoW crowd will watch it, so that's a few million to hype up the normies.
>>67601679
He's directing it, nigger.
Goes by the name Duncan Jones so he doesn't ride off his dad's success.
Looks faggy, just like the game.
>>67601534
The magic shit and the Orc CGI looks really cool.
I loved Moon, thought Source Code was a decent sci-fi flick but I've never liked Warcraft and this movie looks like absolute shit, and I'm not just talking about the comically bad special effects and terrible visual style. The plot lookes like that same Dances with Wolves, Fern Gully, Avatar, Guy makes friends with the "evil" "savages" but finds out they're just like him movie all over again.
>>67601723
the 4 million people that play wow will watch it at an average of $13? What is that? 50-60 million at the box office? For a 250 million movie? lol
>>67601534
I can't get over how much this looks like a video game trailer, but I'm still cautiously optimistic as someone who never played any Warcraft.
I just want good fantasy epics to come back...
God damn it Fimmel. His acting doesn't change and he still does his Ragnar voice-inflection.With that being said I'm still hyped to see him as Anduin Lothbrok
>>67601736
>Artistic integrity
>2016 AD
But seriously, that's virtually unheard of. I just automatically think of all the Coppola's riding on their daddy's coattails.
>>67601946
It's a better built in audience than most films. That said 4 million is what play currently. The game peaked at what 13 million? You can bet your ass people that used to play but don't anymore also will watch it at least once.
So that's 169 million dollars that's basically assured to watch it even if normies didn't.
>>67602355
this, plus china. China is not counted in into current player subscribtions, because there is no subcriptions fow WoW in China, they pay per hours. So add another ~5 million players from China
>>67602355
this 2bh, i canceled my wow subscribition at the beginning of cata cos the game was dogshit but seeing the movie feels like an obligation since i wanted it so bad when i was a teenager
>>67602355
>You can bet your ass people that used to play but don't anymore also will watch it at least once.
Hahaha those guys have families now, I doubt most of them care
>>67601534
This trailer looks good, last one was meh. Also needs more Clancy Brown.
I loved both movies of Duncan Jones, can you see this if you don't follow the games?
>>67603672
I stopped playing in 2012, but still hyped for this movie like a kid on christmas. when you spent years on something and then a movie about it comes out, you watch it.
gonna watch it only for based travis
This is going to bomb like crazy. Literally pre-LotR shit tier looking fantasy, I don't know how they have the balls to come out with it.
>>67603871
WoW came out in 2004, man. That was over a decade ago. I don't care what people say, game movies don't have any track record. Chinese people that play the game for free ain't gonna watch it, neither will all the casuals that played the game while they were bored in high school
The budget on the movie is low enough it doesn't have to sell much to make a profit. Sequel will definitely happen. The movie can probably be shit and still get a sequel.
>>67604078
chinese never played for free. they have to pay per hour
>Int.'l
>>67604202
they goldfarm, so yeah, they do play for free. the real subscribers was never as high as people think it was. They've lost tons of subscribers recently and it's still going down.
>“This is the last quarter that we plan to provide subscriber numbers,” Blizzard said as part of its quarterly report.
>“There are other metrics that are better indicators of the overall Blizzard business performance.” These other metrics pertain to “engagement”, a broad term covering all sorts of consumer interactions.
>>67604441
Still had 13 million subs at beginning of wod and will have the same with Legion
get the tank !! xD
Ragnar looks and talks like a cuck, what happened
>>67601613
I think that's a typical reaction. 'They're making a WoW movie lol those geeks'
But Warcraft always had a decent story, it'll be worth a watch.
>>67602088
He can act

>>67601613
is had really positive reactions from test screenings though
I'd fuck the absolute shit out of a gryphon
I played WoW for years, you know all that lore and story that's in the game? tl;dr. It was all boring as shit. No-one other than WoW nerds is gonna give 2 fucks about this tolkien knock off bullshit. It'll either stick to the games stories and be boring as fuck or sell out it's audience and be normie capeshit cashgrab. Either way it's fucked and I will be giving it a wide berth.
>>67607603
Video game movies tend to be terrible. This movie seems to be no exception.
>>67607339
Source?
how did they manage to make the CGI so bad?
the human characters don't even fit into the background, let alone their own armor.

Also his wife (Warcraft fan):

Also if you look through Duncan's twitter he's upset with the marketing but very confident in the film he's made, he's got good record so I have no reason to distrust him
>>67604078
I never played it. Will probably see this if things look positive.
