What the fuck went wrong?
Nothing. The movie is gettin apraisd everywhere around the world. Only shitty as critics are confused and ignorant about it.
Functionally illitirate critics
The movie isn't even out yet. Isn't this a bit premature?

gee what could go wrong?
Hey, just thought I'd give my two cents. I feel as if people are hopping on a bandwagon to already say this film is going to be bad because early critics are giving it negative reviews. I feel as though you shouldn't form an opinion based on what other people think. Oh and by the way, you can't always trust critics (See image). So before saying a movie is shit, see it for yourself. With that being said, these are early reviews, so it MIGHT get good reviews once it's released internationally or it might not. Again, this is just how I see it.
>>70108723
>Biased critics didn't go in with an open mind and got upset when it wasn't what they expected.
>>70109640
Same way I know your posts are shit before you post them

>>70111951

You can't always trust a critic, but when the universal consensus is that a movie is a turd it's very rare that everyone is wrong.

Nice try shill.
>>70112070
14 reviewers is not general consensus. These movies get over 200 reviews typically, by the end.
>>70112070
My point was that I think people should watch it for themselves before making their decision.
I'm not saying it's going to be good or bad, I just feel that people watch it and then come to a conclusion.
>>70112115
Not shilling. I'm just neutral on the subject of whether it will be good or bad. I can't say it will be either until I watch it myself. But even then it will be my opinion on the film.
>>70112247
>Not shilling.
>guys even if you didn't like this you should watch it
>>70112345
Dude, you can't say you don't like something you haven't even seen. I was stating that because people are saying it will be bad based on the early reviews. I'm not coaxing you into watching it, I was just saying form your own opinion and not hop on the ones of others.
Jesus...
>>70108723
They added an unnecessary romantic subplot.

Just because someone hasn't had hot cum sprayed into their eyes doesn't mean that they are wrong when they say they don't want hot cum sprayed into their eyes.
nothing went wrong, the stupid reviewers dont have the critical thinking capacity and instantly call it a fanboy movie just cuz the story isnt simple and about a caped super hero saving the world from destruction. hurrrr durrr too much lore! hurrrrr

This.
Don't know where the fuck the 100 million went.
Not the actors, that's for sure, not the props, and I doubt the orc CGI costed 100 million, and the marketing has been pretty much non-existant
I went on a friends and family ticket. It's an incredibly boring movie and if you don't already know the Warcraft story you would have little idea what is going on except >muh orcs. Metzen is a total joke and must have been given complete creative control of the movie.
Filthy casuals. Looking for raid and removal of aggro/threat and most fire.
Warcraft fans will hate it because it's absolutely nothing new, and the writing is somehow even worse than the 90s game it's based on.
World of Warcraft fans will hate it because it's not WoW and they don't even know why they gave up raiding this week to go see a fucking movie with their parents fucking UGHHH.
Normies will hate it because it's confusing and stupid, with the entire movie expecting you to know the lore already.
Everybody will hate it because it looks awful and the acting is fucking amazingly terrible. Like, D-War levels of shitty.
Destined to flop hard on release.

None of the reasons you gave have any major impact on the film's rating.
Maybe this is simplistic but maybe the movie just isn't that good. Perhaps that's the largest reason it's not doing well.
Fucking unaware nerd.
This will flop hard in the US. It's facing lots of competition. Kids will see ninja turtles and finding dory instead. Teens will see conjuring 2 and that shitty Kevin hart movie. The general audience is burned out on big CGI movies. The marketing has been shit. What was the last fantasy movie that actually made a profit?

It has nothing to do with the game, you knob.
Chinese audiences eat up low brow "just turn your brain off bro" CGI fests, it's why every single movie is sure to skip any themes that would offend China out.

>>70117740
Yes but does it mask it as like "oooo it's magic and they're orcs so it's still fantasy," or does it use the current canon lore that Orcs are literally space aliens from another planet?
How do you guys see this movie so early?
Not released in my country yet. Looked up rotten tomatoes

>>70119278

>>70108723
What went wrong was having real human actors. It should've just been full CGI, but actually good CGI like blizzard cutscenes.
Even at the high of its popularity it had around 12m subscribers. I just do not think there is a big enough market for a film of this scale.
Blizzard should have made it themselves. As Overwatch has shown, everything they do is at the peak of its genre.
>I'm unable to form my own opinion so I rely on hacks who think the Ghostbuster will be good
>>70119384
All of blizzard's actual human CGI characters look like shit though.
>>70119486
Proxy opinion is a kind of lazy opinion. Don't worry about other people's opinions and you will be happier.
>>70119384
I watched it earlier and they manage to cheat it very well
For the story it's understandable but jumpy, like in Transformers and TNMT
And naturally LOL FANTSY POLITICS. I mean the Orcs just change their mind every time someone important does something
So it's good as a popcorn flick
Saw the movie yesterday and I have to say that the critics on RT have been way too harsh. It obviously wasn't the best movie, but even for a person who knew shit about Warcraft I still enjoyed it.
If you're looking for Game of Thrones or something, then yeah, you'll hate it. Probably the movie I've enjoyed the most so far this year.

Because a movie made by fans for fans is a mixed bag
And it tries to make jokes even though it premise is kinda serious
Especially Kadghar
I saw it. The story might be confusing to nonfans, but only because it was too short and they tried to put so much plot in it.
The CGI was pretty.
It's a fine movie, just not amazing. Certainly not bad though.

I don't plan to see it, I thought the CGI was kinda weird, the people were real but everything else isn't. It's reverse Scooby Doo. And who gives a shit about Rotten Tomatoes? I see that shit on DVDs now, a little sticker that says ooh RT gave it a good rating! It's the same as stuff like an 8.0 on IGN! A 10 on Kotaku! A 7 on Kongregate!
I saw it and It's fucking shit. I don't like the RT people but I agree with them on this one. I love how stupid blizzdrones try to make it looks like the best things since sliced bread.

wow had 12 million players at one time, but over 100 million players overall during its lifetime. Although I stopped playing in 2012, same as my friends, we still watched it on midnight premiere and were hyped as fuck.

My reactions as a fan since 1995 who has been posting regularly on this board over the last year.
-The CGI is SUPERB.
-The action is GREAT. Some of the best I've ever seen.
-The cinematography is GREAT, many individual shots are very effective.
-The props are fine.
-The acting is mostly fine.
BUT it has two major flaws:
-There are plenty of sequences that are compelling but other sequences have some of the most hamfisted dialog I have ever seen. Like a soap opera, like a 12 year old wrote it, really cringy Star Wars prequel level stuff. There's a lot of it and it's embarrassing to watch.
-It's told/edited in a very clumsy and confusing way. Some parts make very little sense. There is nothing wrong with the story per se. Sure it's simple but simple stories can be good if they are properly focused and well presented. Warcraft isn't. It fails to explain/introduce some things that are important while at other times it repeats obvious and irrelevant points several times over that could have been conveyed in more subtle ways (the love subplot).
VERDICT:
Storytelling: 3/10
Spectacle: 10/10
Overall: 6/10

The film was rushed, they made up a lot of retarded stuff instead of following the game, CGI was good, CGI mixed with live action was shit, had no scenes that I thought were truly great, Lothar was exactly like the main character in Vikings, the rest of the acting was borderline cringeworthy.

The movie had one fucking job and failed miserably at it. Set up the Warcraft Universe and show the Orcs and their demon masters as a legit threat.
Instead we got:
>hamfisted acting und phoned in lines by the actors. Foreign version may be salvbaged by a good dub.
>Garona X Lothar love story. I don't even fucking know why.
>Durotan's death was little bit more meaningful but in the end changed fuck all.
>Orgrim is not the new Warchief in the end. Gul'dan is not in a coma in the end.
>Whoever cut this movie should kill himself. The whole pacing is awkward, surreal and confusing.
>Stormwind does not get sacked.
>King Llayne does not die an idiots death because he trusted Garona....no no. He orders her to stab him because reasons.
>The only redeemable thing is the fight bewteen Khadgar x Lothar and Medivh.
I did not expect much from this movie, but holy shit did the ending make me mad. Why was a grim ending with Orgrim's ascension as Warchief and the flight of Lothar and the survivors out of the question?
Everyone is still fellating to Game of Thrones and craves something new. The movie was nat even remotely something new. Neither did it follow the Blizzard pattern of refined, well executed old concept.
I have the feeling that Duncan Jones alone did not fuck it up but some other little shits did their part.Suits
saw it yesterday
i know nothing about the games but still could understand what was going on
its a good action movie with good cgi but i wont see the sequels i think fans will really enjoy it
