Serious question, who are the people excited about this? At first I figured it was the capeshit crowd. But this is much worse than capeshit. The 'ImNerdy' Big Bang Theory people? Just WoW players?

Who thinks video games make good stories for movies anyway? Their stories are almost always mediocre at best and the only thing video games have going for them is interaction with the environment.
A movie can't provide that.

Tons of video games have good stories, characters, and rich worlds in which to tell new stories.

Warcraft has none of that, unfortunately.

Comic books are just books with pictures. And in the end, it's much easier to convey the feeling of a comic book than a video game, where interaction is a huge part of the experience.

They have good stories if you've never read a novel.
>>
>>68709391
I'm excited less in that I think it will be a great movie and more in that I think it will be interesting to see how it will turn out. I haven't played WoW for many years and I wouldn't even call myself a fan of the lore or backstory. In reality I just want a somewhat fun action movie with swords and magic and shit, if they can adapt that well from a video game that is neither fun nor action packed then I will be impressed. If it's camp yet fun, that will be good enough for me.
My favourite films are Apocalypse Now, Trainspotting, and Shindlers List

Warcraft 2 all the way up to wow tbc have good stories. The first war is a little uninteresting but i think theyve got a bit more source to work with than just the first game smashed into a movie. Gul dan and the fel magic corrupting the orcs will be great on screen, hopefully that will be enough to carry what will likely be quite a generic fantasy large scale battle at the end. Least we will get south sea and emerald dream shit in the next one.

I don't think this is going to be good.

Not because I think it's impossible to do a good Warcraft movie, but because I think they're going down the wrong path here.

From what we've seen in the trailers, there looks like there will be a LOT of world-building and establishment of characters/settings/races/etc

The problem is that doing this will mean that the movie will either need to be way too fucking long, or the characters themselves will suffer from not enough development

Really, I think the human campaign from WC3 would be their best bet for a movie. Let's be honest, it's where most players (apart from WoW) of Warcraft started - and there's a reason it hooked them.

Arthas is pretty much one of the best examples of "the corrupted hero" - not just in video games, but in fiction in general. He starts as a completely noble and selfless paladin, but after being forced to choose the lesser of two evils over and over, he begins to no longer seek justice, but revenge, and it ultimately consumes him.

It was a bit rushed in the campaign, but it never truly felt like Arthas was "the bad guy" until it was too late - even the mercenary thing could have been considered justified. As a two hour movie, Arthas' journey up to the point where he "succeeds" in becoming King of Lordaeron would work great.

>but exposition! worldbuilding! nobody would know what the fuck was going on!
That is where Uther and Jaina would come in.

They're starting from WC1 so they can do their own cinematic universe bullshit. If this movie is successful they'll be able to make two more out of WC2, completing an initial trilogy, then a bunch more fucking movies out of the stories in WC3, prequel stories from WotA, etc.

I want to believe it'll be good, I like Duncan jones, but I don't think it will be.
>>
>>68714496
Duncan Jones explained this in that PAX interview. He was mostly interested into building the world right from the start and do an origins story for Azeroth in general and work his way from there than throw random fan favorite characters into the pot.

Maybe into wont be a good Warcraft movie in the eyes of the fans but in general i believe Duncan Jones will deliver an good fantasy film.

... No, they didn't. People have wanted or wanted to try comic book movies for as long as comic books have existed. The problems were all technological.

On the other hand, video games, when all interactivity is removed, are just shitty movies by and large. The ones that aren't make for decent books, though. Of course books typically make for shitty movies as well.

There's just no way theres any legitimate hype for warcraft. It all feels like astroturfing from the same small handful of people.

Well the main story was railroaded, true, but the amount of wiggle room otherwise, would make it hard to portray in a movie completely
In particular, each settlement was a story of its own, with different outcomes. If you skipped those, what's left would be not enough to carry a movie.

The original Blizzard stories were great. Diablo 1 was some pretty great Gothic horror with leorics tale. Starcraft was a pretty unique grimdark sci fi story. Warcraft 1,2 and 3 all wrap up really nicely as a fantasy series.

Hopefully Duncan Jones & co realize how cheesy and boring Blizzard storytelling is. This movies quality completely rides on his ability to smack metzen on the nose and say no.
