We knew from the start that this was going to be a separate universe. Metzen, the /co/ cuck that he is, called it the "Ultimate Marvel" of Warcraft.

Not better than BvS.
>>70229278
I mean I'm about to go see it, but just off the trailer: Is the events of Warcraft 1, but Dalaran is flying, something that didn't happen until WotLK
>>70229278
The movie
>>70229244
Non-Blizzfan here
Google tells me Magni is a dwarf king so maybe he was there? There were some dwarves but they weren't named.
Anyway the human king Llane summoned the leaders of the other races and nations to ask for their help in the war against the orcs, they said "no fuck you" and disappeared until the end of the movie whenthey came to Llane's funeral and formed the Alliance to fight against the orcs in the sequel.
>>70229278
They are just minor things that don't really affect the story.
I don't think anyone thought it would be a 1:1 copy of the lore. But it still follows it pretty close.
>>70229525
EVERY THREAD
I've only seen like two /tv/ posters who have seen this movie and disliked it.
I saw it today in London and liked it (never played WoW before, but used to read Games Workshop magazines and I played a fantasy text based MUD for a year).
The animosity against this movie is very weird.
>>70228610
WoW already lore raped the shit out of the real WarCraft, so why the fuck not?
>>70229803
people hate dungeons and dragon's fantasy type media.
>>70230025
>>70230893
It has nothing to do with the genre. It has everything to do with World of Warcraft having the nerd stigma attached to it.

Not at all.
It's VERY understandable. Capeshit lovers will keep at it as long as they can.
>>70232277
Uther should be Russel Crowe not hiding his Aussie accent.
I blame Marvel for this
The orcs (excluding the babby) looked good. And the magic was fun. /tv/ and reddit crybabies seriously underrated this shit.
The 8/10 imdb rating is more accurate and imo it's 7/10. Way better than watching capeshit.

They are in like 2 scenes. Mostly sitting at a table doing nothing, and their CGI looking really out of place.
They honestly should have just made the entire movie CGI, or made an animated series.
>>70229278
>>70229633
>They are just minor things that don't really affect the story.
Confirmed for not knowing shit.
To name a few:>Orgrim is now Frostwolf
>Garona is no longer bound by Gul'dan's magic
>Garona's love interest in Anduin Lothar
>Durotan actually seeking the help of humans
Turning Dalaran into Netheril was one of those ideas that I'm sure the instant Blizz came up with it they wished it had always been that way.
>>70231838
>It has everything to do with World of Warcraft having the nerd stigma attached to it.
I assume LOTR did too before the massively successful film franchise
>>70233566
>azeroth's minute mythology
Come on.
>>70237060
How are they not relatively minor things to help adapt to screen rather than game though?
If those are your complaints it seems like you're actively looking for things to dislike.
>>70237060
>Garona is no longer bound by Gul'dan's magic
Could you explain that? I seem to remember the movie mentioning that Gul'dan used the fel to revive her, hence why she is green. Presumably she is just as under Gul'dan's power as any other fel orc.
>>70237208
>I assume LOTR did too
Not really. People read the books, but the general public didn't know much about it.
Watched it this morning and enjoyed it.
The cgi looks so much less jarring than the trailers and infamous screencaps have suggested, and that's even after the cinema fucked up and showed it in 3D after selling it as a 2D screening.
The story pacing issues people have had with the speed are understandable at the beginning, but I'd prefer that to far too much exposition.
There are Easter eggs for wow players, but they're integrated well - things like a dungeon meeting stone and a murloc in the background, panning over Redridge etc. Nothing that feels too forced or alienating to non-players.
Dominic Cooper falls a little flat, but he's Dominic Cooper so that's hardly a surprise. And his screen time is minimal.
It doesn't follow the lore to a T, but it's an adaptation. It gets across the major points it needs to without major fuckery to it.
If Dalaran floating or the finer points of Medivh's dealings with Sargeras buttblast you enough to give you a negative perception of the movie then you're exactly the type of person the stigma against the movie is born from.
It's not clever, or deep. It's not gritty or realistic.
It's fun and it's flashy and it's entertaining and that's exactly what I was hoping for and expecting from it.
I heard that studio forced them to cut more than 40min of the film.
>>70237945
I don't think it's that there is a finished 2 hr 40 min version that was then chopped up by the studio, it's just that the studio were only willing to give a certain amount of money and they couldn't afford any more cgi.
https://twitter.com/RobertKazinsky/status/734755993775702016
https://twitter.com/ManMadeMoon/status/737339823644545025
>>70238473
Nah there's literally a 40 minute longer directors cut that Duncan Jones hopes to get released if there's enough demand.
>>70237863
Fucking this, describes my impression perfectly.
Go see that shit. Movies haven't been so unafraid to have genuine fun in a long time.
Watched it today and i have to agree with more or less everything >>70237863 anon said.
The only thing to add is I'm not a huge wow player i knew bits like guldan is bad and the fel is bad but other then that i was able to follow the plot of the film pretty well.
The best thing i can say about this film in regards of other "block busters" are that this film actually has stakes in it so i ended up alot more invested for that reason plus how well they played the orcs off.
Characters you get attatched to either die or turn bad and i guess those who play the game know that going in but for me i didnt know so many would be killed off and none of them feel cheap (bar one in perticular) and they're done not for the shock but to match the theme of the film.
Watching it in imax definately helps but I dont get the negative hate. Yeah it has problems but so did other films that get a pass so i really would stress watch the film yourself and you might end up as surpised as i am
Regardless of how you feel about the movie, can we at least agree that Durotan was real husbando material?
>>70237404
Originally she only killed the king because of Gul'dan's magic.
There's been no hint whatsoever that she's influenced by him.
>>70239173
Yes I see now. Getting filled in on some of these differences now by a spoilery youtube review.
So was it the dawn of vidyakino after all?
>>70239934
Depends who you're asking.
20 000 commies thought it was good.
http://www.kinopoisk.ru/film/277328/
2000 frogs thought it was good (Except for their frog critics)
http://www.allocine.fr/film/fichefilm_gen_cfilm=129526.html
15 000 Blizzdrone shills on IMDB thought it was good.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0803096/
17 critics on Rotten Tomatoes thought it was as bad as Uwe Boll's Dungeon Siege movie.
Who do you trust more?
they miss pronounced Orgrim and Mak'gora
but besides that
they didnt go back on their own logic like every other ep of GoT
8/10 pretty good
>>70240572
>http://www.kinopoisk.ru/film/277328/
If they thought it was good, I'll trust them. It says right there, pure kino.
Can anyone find a link to Duncan Jones saying that there is 40 minutes cut from the movie?
Over the past few weeks I've been shamelessly watching every interview he's given on the Warcraft promotion tour, and I follow him on twitter. There is plenty of reference to directors cut, dvd extras, scenes cut for budgetary reasons etc. but I can't find the 40 minutes figure.
>>70240939
Found it here
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/05/28/duncan-jones-on-showing-dad-david-bowie-warcraft-he-was-all-excited-for-me-and-happy.html
>Alas! When Jones whittled down his 2 hour and 40 minute cut to the final runtime of just over two hours, “we weren’t able to keep it in the cut. But somehow, maybe, I’ll just sneak it into the Twitterverse… he did a Warcraft-medievally version of his single, and it’s just brilliant. Unfortunately I was the only one who thought it was hilarious.”
It's a paraphrase by Daily Beast journalist rather than direct quote. I've never heard him say anything like that in other interviews.

I don't trust Rotten Tomatoes, when I see a critic saying this:
"excessive amounts of fantasy jibber-jabber mostly renders the film nonsensical to everyone else."
>>70226709
EVEN WHEN THE MOVIE BOMBED THEY KEPT SHILLING
BLIZARD IS RESTLESS
>>70241509
Mannoroth is mentioned at the start but not shown.
And the Karazhan raid was only the "echo" of Medivh.
>>70237349
why wouldn't a person who's into warcraft dislike dumb changes to the lore?

>>70242001
>And the Karazhan raid was only the "echo" of Medivh.
Karazhan gets raided in Warcraft by more than just Lothar and Khadgar.
>>70242196
Warcraft 1*
>>70242001
>And the Karazhan raid was only the "echo" of Medivh.
No, it wasn't.
Just got back from seeing it. Much better than I expected from the reviews and screenshots/clips.
The most disappointing factor was definitely the sound track, it's really quite generic. They play the WoW login music over the ending credits and it's by far the best music.
>>70242281
I'm hoping they get Russel Brower to do the soundtrack for 2.
>>70242001
No evidence of that at all. It's literally Medivh who dies there.
>>70232333
The only decent movie you posted was Pain & Gain, the others were all shit.
The whole movie should have been CGI.
>>70242281
I thought the soundtrack was one of the best parts. The theme with the horns and drums is pretty catchy.
>>70242281
>the fucked up the music
literally how, it's the only thing they haven't fucked up in a single expansion no matter how horse shit their game is
>>70237208

>>70242869
This is a thread about the Warcraft film. You need to take your retarded, illiterate ass back to /v/eddit.
Unless you seriously think Soule, Uelmen, Acree, Cardon, Guidotti or Brower composed for this film and not the meme composer Ramin Djawadi, famous for his "stellar" score he provided for Meme of Thrones.
Faggot.

You idiots really need to learn how IMDB works. The movie doesn't even need to be out in order for people to give it reviews. The same exact thing happened with Batman/Superman.

>>70238473
TROLL RAID SCENE! HOLY SHIT!
Also there is actually 40 minutes cut not just the stuff they scratched, this is confirmed by the Comic con footage and even the stuff cut from trailers.
>>70243442
What you said was stupid and irrelevant.
I told you what you should have realized if you had actually seen the flick.
Have a nice day, fucko. : DDDDD
>>70237863
Not griutty or realistic are you some edgey motherfucking cuck or something?
Guldan was savage as fuck as was Blackhand, for a none r rated movie watching heads get smuclched and necks snap is pretty brutal not to mention the fucking torture scene where guldan literally drank the guy to death over and over torturing the poor bastard
>>70243567
obviously I haven't you illiterate fuck
maybe spend a little less time memeing on 4chan and pay attention in school
>>70243542
I still can't figure out why they cut Gul'dan's speech in front of the Dark Portal. It's literally the entire plot premise of the film being explained.
Plus the way Daniel Wu delivered it was pretty great.
>>70243542
troll raid scene will never be, they didn't CGI it
I really wish it did though, but pg-13 wouldn't have done it justice anyway. I'd love to see some limb ripping and what not. Savage beasts
>>70243666
"Death.... Life.... Death... Life....."
I was hooked from that comic con footage really wanted the world to see that shit and your fucking 666 trips just confirmed this film is fucking kino, I love im going to watch it again it was amazing
>>70243608
that torture scene literally confirmed to me Guldan did nothing wrong! He was just doing what he felt right to gain ultimate power! I wish there was more villains like this!
>>70243645
Maybe don't make assumptions, assertions, and analyses about films you haven't seen in threads where people who have seen said films are discussing them.
Or do you think this is like lunch time at that school you chose to invoke and still haven't graduated from, where you and your friends argue over things you know nothing about? :) :) :)
Why didnt he follow traditions?! Also this film was great and finally made Villains, threatening again. Im watching this at least 2 more times at IMAX
Can someone tell me the ending? Just spoil my shit up because I had heard of how the movie ended a while back and wasn't sure if it was legit, doesn't seem like it is though.
>>70244032

>doing a warcraft movie after 10 years of clusterfuck WoW retcons
Basically the original story of Warcraft was changed to appeal to mainstream movie audiences.
Regular people don't give a shit about this and the only one's who will see it are WoW players at this point anyway. All the reviews I see from WoW people say its great when all the lore changes fuck up the story immensely from the source material.
How much of Grommash do we see in the movie?
Is he there just for 1 or 2 scenes and then just a background character?

UK fag, just got back from IMAX.
Orcs look incredible. Haven't seen better looking CG characters period. The world design and art elevate the CG to beautiful levels however the live action characters and props suffer occasionally due to the heavy use of green screen and so many digital assets.
Anybody calling the effects 'bad' is trying too hard to shit on the movie. Like it/hate it, the special effects are incredible. It is very big, very bright and very colorful, which I think is fitting for a Warcraft movie. Magic looks powerful and the sound design hits all the marks.
Occasionally the movie screams cheese but I was surprised at how little I cringed.
Sometimes I wish it would take its self less seriously and other times I wanted it to ground itself deeper and linger on a poignant moment a little longer.
Needed an extra 30mins for world building and the world looked so..fantastical, I wanted to see more of it and brought closer to the people I was supposed to care about.
Biggest bad ass of the movie was a gryphon - that scene was crunchy. Durotan looks real. More real than some of the human characters.
And lastly - For the rating it had some pretty dark scenes. The intro with the draenei looking like Holocaust victims as Gul'dan drains their souls was impactful and the battle scenes have some great moments. Another scene with Guldan torturing a prisoner for literally keks, or like an old guy sipping on some cognac was one of the most brutal things I've seen, really really well done bad guys.
Overall great fantasy and I'd take it over another fucking Super Hero movie any day.
8/10.
>>70244032
I won't describe it in detail because you don't know what's good for you. STOP FUCKING SPOILERING YOURSELF, THINK LONG TERM. DEFERRED GRATIFICATION M8, ITS WHAT SEPARATES US FROM THE ANIMALS.

there were no paladins in WC1 and there are none in this movie. you're unlikely to see your fanboy favorite faggots in the sequel since it's unlikely to happen
>>70244151
he's in the background of 2 scenes and never says a word
>>70244032
Thrall gets saved by humans...
Pretty much confirms it's him talking at the beginning when the Orc and Human are fighting in the Barrens.
>>70244151
He didn't come to azeroth until the wc2 expansion so I hope he's not there.
>>70244191
>Another scene with Guldan torturing a prisoner for literally keks,
heh.
IIRC the warcraft 1 manual from the orcs perspective mentioned how they were extracting information from the captured humans.
>>70244151
He's in quite a few background shots and at one point about to kill
[s]Lothars pup before Blackhand intervenes[/s]
Also his talking segments from the comic con footage have been removed for some reason, so the specualtion about 40 mins missing are true
>>70244236

>Lothar becomes king
Didn't happen because they had to flee SW because it was taken by orcs

Yeah, that's pitiful. The embargo's up and it's sitting at sub-25% on the normies' handbook site for what they should waste their money on this summer.

Seen it once in medium sized 3d, was a bit distracted by guy next to me on phone, so want to go again:
£55 travel+ticket for IMAX 3d in London (biggest screen in UK!)
or
£25 travel+ticket for 2d.
The good thing about IMAX is that it's so loud, the screen is so big, and the seating is so steep, you dont really get distracted by other people.
Choices.
>>70226709
I also enjoyed it a lot. Tbh I am a big lore fag and I didn't mind the changes they made to the lore THAT much.
I just wish they had got someone better to play King Llane.
truly the best movie of the year
>>70244737
Why not?!
>>70244611
Mankrik's wife.
Just watched the movie less than 30 mins ago and have been playing Wacraft games since Vanilla then backpedalling to the older ones.
Tbh the Movie is a faithful capturing of the plot of the Original Warcraft and the things they change are either for expedience or to avoid bombarding the audience with exposition more than they already have; considering the fact these films are at least 50% in order to get more people involved in Warcraft who aren't already fans this is a pretty big necessity.
Spoilers:
No fel blood, boo hoo. That would have added another 30 mins to the film just explaining WHY.
tl;dr they keep everything that counts and cut/leave ambiguous things that aren't important or would take too long to explainlike how Medivh is corrupted by Fel Magic and no mention is made of Sargaeras
orcs are the niggers
>>70244696
you seem salty that the age of vidyakino has begun in your lifetime
>>70244754
how was he on phone? I was in london imax and they were pretty clear about management ushering people out and approaching them for using phones. They have a 2x and you're out policy.
But definitely go again the premium seats are worth it
>>70232200
yea i can forgive that since its obviously been the plan since the beginning and Duncan had 0 choice in the matter and something tells me it was probably supposed to be closer to the original story since Duncan is more of a fan of the rts series and not WoW, but then Metzan/hollywood got their hands on it.
>>70244696
>Yeah, that's pitiful.

>>70244804
Don't compare orcs to niggers. That's insulting to Orcs.

>how was he on phone? I was in london imax and they were pretty clear about management ushering people out and approaching them for using phones.
Was in Odeon Leicester square. The phone guy came in late. The usher was vigilant about phone use when the lights first when down, but I think it stopped looking after that.
I hate confronting people like that because it almost takes me more out of the movie than I already was due to light distraction, but I had to say something in the end.

he wasn't really relevant until the second war.
And mostly important in the expedition.
WTF!

>reading blizzard game forums
You brave soul
The movie had that good mix of light-hearted and serious in a light fantasy setting which i do enjoy from the warcraft novels etc.
Its not a masterpiece by any standards but it is fun, enjoyable, has things for fans and non fans and just a pleasure to watch though.
>>70245159

>it's WoW adaptation rather than a wc 1-3 adaptation
Dropped hard. Fuck duncan.
>>70245864
Its literally Warcraft 1.
Don't go spewing to me about how it's not really W1 because it has wow retcons in it either. Kill yourself.

perfect
So how exactly would Duncan fit Warcraft 2 into a single film? It's been a while since I've played that one, but isn't it pretty big? Do you think he'd focus more on Beyond the Dark Portal?
>>70246230
Honestly if you wanted to fit everything in it would have to be 2.
If you wanted to do WC3 you would probably need 5 to fit everything in.
Things will be cut, quite a lot.
>>70244032
Literally nothing.

>the Dark Portal gets redicted to go from Black Morass to Stormwind to help the humans escape
>the orcs didn't overwhelm the brittle human defense and use the portal to go on and sack stormwind
>>70226709
as someone who never played wow, it was pretty good. looked good, semi-decent characters and plot, 6.5/10.
>>70246230
How are war movies usually set up?
How many battles can you fit in one?
Key things you should show.
>Forming of the Alliance
>Alterac
>Uther becoming the first Paladin
>Lothar dying.
>Doomhammer going after Gul'dan.
I guess rebellion at Tyrs Hand and how it ties into Alterac.
I'd like to see the Ironforge siege, going back time to time to see how it progresses, then seeing it lifted.
How the trolls, goblins and ogres become part of the horde could probably be shown in dialogue with the formation of the alliance.
You need a sea battle.

My favorite opening ever even though it hasn't aged well.

Check this out.
Four movies
Each from the perspective races of WC3.
Boom
Not that will happen but fun to think about

>while dwarven cannon were being loaded, others armed themselves with elven steel and mail
hnngh
>>70247380
I think maybe you could do it in two long cohesive movies.
The Lordaeron campaigns and the Kalimdor campaigns tie together fairly well.
>>70247107
WAIT... HOLD THE FUCK UP.
This has Uther in it?

We were discussing a potential movie about warcraft 2 where uther imo should play a part.
It was a very beautiful movie. Everything looked great, except that shot of Blackhand snapping the black dude's neck. But mostly flawless visuals. Although I don't like the style of the high elves. They came off as off as creepy.
Also, as much as I love Lord of the Rings, it was nice to see a fantasy film where the fantastical elements weren't understated but were blatant and everywhere.
Story was nonsense. You could feel the weight of 22 years of legacy bearing down on what ought to have been a very simple story. Personally would have rathered a brief prologue of the first and second war and jump right into Thrall in the internment camps if they were going the noble orc route. Trying to reconcile the tone of Warcraft 3 onwards with the plot of the first game just didn't work for me.
Also waaay too many sequel hooks, some that won't be resolved until film 4 or 5 if they're going to continue loosely following the game plots.
>>70246230
Its fucked
everything is fucked
they are going to have to make up the entier story
Warcraft 1 is about the horde entering Azeroth and destroying stormwind which makes everyone led by Lothar to sail towards Lordaeron which was in the northern part of the continent
Warcraft 2 tides of darkness is the horde rampaging through the entirety of Eastern kingdom up to Lordaeron where the Alliance start to fuck them up and push them back to the Dark Portal. Theres barely any plot at all
The reason this happened was in part casue gul dan who had awaken from the coma that medivh exorcism had gone to the tomb of sargeras after pledging mercy to Ogrim who had wiped a chunk of Guldan's clan which he found throuhg torturing Garona (garona was a Guldan agent) to find the artifact called the Eye of Sargeras which would help him summon the legion and Ogrim sends a bunch of forces and delays the invasion of Lordaeron to kill him
Also theres no nerzul which is the one who becomes the leader of a good chunk of the horde nor shadow council which was central since they helped nerzul in beyond the dark portal expansion
The plot of nerzul is extremely important because the entire expansion follows his actions and he is the one that causes the scourage and pretty much almost everything that happened in W3
Like if this movie is barely warcraft the next ones if they are made are not going to have absolutely anything to do with the games.
>>70247839
They could introduce Ner'zhul in the second. Kargath and Grom were in this one as background characters, but not really doing anything, just waiting to be used in the sequels. Speaking of, why does Kargath look like he does in Warlords of Draenor? Shouldn't he be green not grey?
>>70248014
Nah its already fucked
Kargath didn't exist in warcraft
Grom did
Regardless of whatever the fuck they do, they changed shit so much its impossible to adapt the other games
They should just not make more movies wait some time and make Warcraft 3 human campaign full CGI movie
>>70237863
Oh man please tell me it sets up for 2 perfectly
My fantasy is this one does well enough to get a sequel, the sequel either flops or does extremely well, because it has the potential to do both, and then they're guaranteed to do a 3rd one, and the 3rd one would be the best because it would cover Outlands, Arthas, Illidan, and all that good shit
It's all I fucking want
>still no camrip
>>70248438
There's a russian one, but it's horrendous quality.
I want a movie about the Black Dragonflight so badly
>>70226709
LOOK AT THE TOP OF HIS HEEEEEEEEAD
>>70248323
>Kargath didn't exist in warcraft
>Grom did
They both appeared in Warcraft 2 Beyond the Dark Portal.
Grom on the first map of the orc campaign, and I think Kargath(or Korgath as I remember him) on the 2nd map.
