Hundreds of video game movies have been made over decades and not a single one has been great, commercially successful or enjoyable. How is that statistically possible? Does it just tell us that the source material is shit? Or that people who play video games can't make good movies?
I think its the former.
>>
>>70077960
No video game movie has stayed completely faithful to the source material.

Imagine the video game as Star Wars A New Hope.
The movie made based on that game would be The Force Awakens: basically the same idea, but changed in every facet in some way.

Well video games are a different format, the way they tell what barebones stories that they have is typically through gameplay when they're done right. And conveying story through gameplay is a completely different feeling than conveying story through film. Something like Uncharted or TLoU might be easy to adapt because they're 40% cutscene, but other games it would tough.
>>
>>70077326
Just saw this yesterday.
I honestly don't get this score. It was not a bad movie in any way. I thought it was quite enjoyable once the plot gets going.
Really don't understand how this is getting 25% while any Marvel movie gets 90% fresh scores.

Still: very unlikely for the whole DCU to cave in considering there is millions of Batman/Superman fans still.

Warcraft has like what? A few thousands dedicated fans? 90% of them being neckbeards.

Remembering: Warcraft is made only for the fans whilst the DCU isn't made just for comic fans.

>>70078927
Honestly, he did make one of the best video game movies in the end. It's definitely better than all the Tomb Riaders, most Resident Evils, Uwe Boll's movies and what not.
I hope this doesn't ruin his career though. He put genuine effort into it and it's not a bad movie.

Nope, but DCEU is totally WB product, while Warcraft owned by Activision, more likely Universal will spend money on Jurasic trilogy, than Warcraft, of course there is the chance that China will save Warcraft box office, but unlikely it will such hit as Deadpool.

Fine be that way... I can't make you change your mind if you want to believe that.

Uwe Boll's films have some of the best writing I have ever seen put in a film - I am not talking about his video game films.

He travelled to Africa to film Darfur where he met people who's families where massacred by terrorists and got them to react what they went through. Fucking brilliant film.

They needed money? It's not like Loken did anything after T3. Zane hasn't done anything since... Titanic? He might as well just be known as the guy that banged Kelly Brock. And Furlong probably walked on set on day hoping to find his dealer and Boll assumed he was in the movie

No. The film assume you already know the Warcraft universe before you watch it. It hardly bother to stop a single time to explain what is going on and the basic premises, and instead throw a fuckton of names like Kirin tor, Dalaran and whatnot.

believe it or not I have spoken with Uwe Boll personally. He is a real nice guy. Obviously he was angry about losing his german investors; having hardly any money to fund more movies.

Hell: he let people come work on his films in Canada; giving each and all a gift box set with the DVD, signatures from producers. So he does show his care for fans and those who support him.

But again it sucks to be him who has no more people help funding him and kickstarter was the last resort. Luckily he still managed to make Rampage 3.

Draenor has the best questing yet, the dungeons are good but there's little variety, raiding is good, and it has loads of daily content which you'd either love or hate. Garrisons are fun. My biggest issue is that the stats go off the rails, you'll hit level 100 doing like 6k dps meanwhile in heroics I see geared people topple 1 million dps. Seeing such a huge difference means there's a massive gear grind, and the community has become snooty about it. If you're a "fresh 100" you may get kicked from groups which makes it even more difficult to grind.

Ultimately Wow fails because they don't know how to innovate. They just keep releasing expansions to drain this cow dry, and each expansion has less content and more filler than the last. Besides if stats go the way theyr going we'll probably see a range of 1 million to 50 gorillian dps at level 120. Until they revert it the games stats will just get more and more out of whack.

Wow will never be as good as vanilla/bc/wotlk. Cataclysm and pandaria was just fucking awful and i refuse to start another character, getting from 80-90 is work. Not fun.

Nevermind that when you have 120 levels in your game, the decades of enjoyable content suddenly becomes worthless as everyone powerlevels from 1-120, which is sad when you realize you can spend an hour to dungeon run to level 30, or spend weeks doing questing and achievements.

You mean, reviewers who aren't fans of the source material (Warcraft)? That's not their problem. It's the director's problem for creating the first film of a new fantasy universe that doesn't explain it's story well enough.
Turbonerd Blizzdrones don't really expect everyone to know about Warcraft, do they?

Its a medium where the story doesn't matter or exists to give context to the gameplay. Wolfenstein the New Order was praised for its story and it too exists to give context to the gameplay rather than tell a story with a begining middle and end. Even with that in mind though a good story based off the premise can be made but they're all cashgrabs or made by idiots, Warcraft looks made by idiots honestly.

I saw Uwe Boll at a grocery store in Stuttgard yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.

He said, “Oh, wie Sie jetzun?”

I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, müssen Sie zunächst für diejenigen zu zahlen.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “Elektrischen infetterence zu verhindern,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

>>70080103
I saw it and it's not as shitty as I feared but it's not good either. The acting performance of humans was really bad. Lot of cringe moments here. The orcs were better. Action scenes were ok and some of the special effects stunning, especially the magic. The story was bland and not very interesting with big problems of rhythm and too much stuff being crammed in, especially the second half.
Overall it was ok to watch but clearly not what you can call a good movie.

You'd think that other video game movies could take a hint. Mortal Kombat is less a "video game movie" than it is just a regular old Kung Fu movie with fantasy elements and whose setting is taken from a video game.

Warcraft should've been the most generic by-the-books fantasy story they could come up with that just happens to have the Warcraft setting, but they rejected that because that would be following Tolkien who was just an old white guy.

Games are about gameplay, 90% of the time the plots are just shit. There's only a handful of good vidya stories out there (Planescape Torment and the Legacy of Kain series for example) but they always adapt games that have shitty ones (Mortal Kombat, Resident Evil, Warcraft etc).

You haven't even seen it you mongoloid.

Many of you other retards haven't either.

Saw it. I think the pacing was too fast (he had to pack so much information into it) - at one point you see a WoW creature just so you can't say you didn't see it, basically. But he still tried and in my opinion succeeded to bring out those unique Warcraft things (even a seargant on the battlefield sounded like a seargant from the games)

Besides that there is the simplistic writing (but I think that it would be slightly unfair to attack him for this considering it is a matter of staying true to the lore books and the games).

I think the acting was astonishing desu, very good. The CGI was evidently beautiful (Blizzard we love you).

With that said I think Duncan has grown more experienced now and the film has lead the way for an even better sequel lore-wise.

I am a fan of the universe though. Also going into the film from blackness, the Horde drums sounding and people in the cinema going "for the Horde - makes you realize how much a place this universe has in the hearts of people.

I give this a 7/10 because the pacing suffered. We didn't get enough time to grow with the characters as much as I would like at all. I am hopeful of the sequels and they could very well score a point higher if everything sits.

How can you watch that movie with the blazing contrast between human characters and CGI. I will admit I have not seen the movie because of this single fact. It looks like utter garbage. Whoever said, "Hey let's get real actors into this" was off their fucking tree. It makes everything look fake and then they have to add in actual sets with added cgi effects and it gets even worse.

It looks special in a good way. The only character who I think could be somewhat better is Garona. She seems a little plastic. Human armor looks clunky but come on have you seen the Stormwind guards (in the game) - armor is goofy in any case.

It doesn't look "fake" at all. It's a unique universe and that's what it looks like.

The 3D is also some of the best I've seen, if not the best.

I'm glad they used real people. People are more apt at showing emotion than whatever you could do through a computer. Not everybody likes anime.
