Saw Warcraft yesterday and can't understand why so many bad reviews. It's a flawed movie, yes, but it's issues were more of pacing than the content. The same issues films like the new Star Wars had.
What did you guys though of it?
Immature audience that can't stand pulpy high fantasy.
I think a lot of the negativity is based on how unpopular the game is right now
if it had come out during the peak of subs in wrath I think the general reception would have been better
>>70471383
I saw it too and i know why bad reviews, they fucked it up, they didnt explain anything! To normal viewer who doesnt know the lore it looks like they fighting for the sake of fighting....
>>70471383
does it have kungfuu pandas in it?
>>70471457
You think all those critics are Burning Crusade Purists?
No they are the same people who turned their nose at concept of playing a video game never mind World of Warcraft.
>>70471581
>normal viewer can't understand why kingdom would fight against crazy alien raiders
sounds about right. normal people should be culled
>>70471581
I never played the games and I could follow it just fine. Sure the people who did play them might go fanboying because their favorite orc or city is on the screen, but the story was easy to follow. And Gul'dan is the best villain of the 2010s
>>70471581
Only played Warcraft 3 and didn't give a shit about the story. I could understand the plot easily. There were other issues with it.
>>70471665
You dont understand the point, people should know that Orcs came because Medivh send vision of Azeroth to Guldan by the influence of Sargeras, Orcs only purpose was to weaken its defenses and prepeare world for Burning Legion invasion... That was whole point of the story but they didnt told it, so its pointless!>>70471707
>>70471383
Terrible marketing, terrible pacing of the movie, and the stigma of the fact it's a ultra high fantasy movie and people hate that shit. Game of Thrones is probably about as much fantasy as most can handle. Also critics are being faggots on purpose but who cares. Money talks not reviews. it'll make enough world wide for a sequel. the dawn of vidyakino has begun.Could have been better but it's 100% not as bad as people are making out to be, not by a long shot. 45-55% on RT would have been fair and accurate.
It is a Warcraft movie in which someone cries every two seconds
Think about it for a moment
>>70471658
Yeah probably true
But I do think there was a time when warcraft as a property was less looked down on. That could be because that was when I was a fat shit in highschool among other fat shits in highschool. Or maybe it was when they made the kung fu panda expansion.
>>70471383
The pacing was terrible, the cgi was horrible at times and it didn't know how to introduce/develop most characters properly.
The content and the story were ok and it was fun, but it isn't a really well made movie.
Movie should have been much longer to allow proper character development.
Those of us that know the characters and the story already enjoyed the movie.
Also, Obligatory, GUL'DAN IS BASED AS FUCK.
>>70472098
gul'dan was so good desu
and the cgi was flawless aswell. Was worried at first because of the trailers but it was just amazing in the cinema.
warcraft 2 can't come soon enough
Does Sargeras actually appear?
If so that's fucking stupid.
>>70472317Medivh steps into a pool of fel and his body starts turning in what i assume was Sargeras. Gets killed before he does anything though, and turns back to Medivh.
>>70472241
Gul'dan is my favorite WC character.
i was expecing him to be really weak in the movie...
He ended up being better than troy baker on WoD, it was amazing.
>>70472317
They mention a demon in the film, very breafly.
sargeras does not appear.
But we know hes the one who gave gul'dan his powers.
>>70472486
>>70472486He doesn't appear? What was that demon taking over Medivh then?
I saw an ad for the movie at the bottom of the screen during Shark Tank. Who is in charge of advertising for this? They've done a terrible job. I've hardly seen any advertising in other places, especially those where I'd expect to find the target audience.
Love how a film can be fucking awful but if the "content" is good (aka genreshit for morons) the retards here will think it's good.
>>70472820
you sound mad
it just looks so terrible in the trailers i haven't gone to see it . maybe i'll rent it
>>70472901
I think it looks alright.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBlA4l8it4o
If you're gonna rent, might as well pirate it.
>>70472670
It's medihv himself cray on fel magic.
I fucking love the Soundtrack and think about seeing it a second time.
God, I'm such a sucker for Warcraft.
Can't wait for Warcraft 2, and hopefully the extended cut will iron out some of the pacing issues.
>>70473637
fuck yes ogre mages and uther
>>70473569
I already watched my second time.
i will a third, and probably a fourth one.
Simple: It doesn't have name 'Disney' on it. Film is too complicated, not muh quips and not muh LotR, and it's not about transgender-lesbian black people, s critics hate it.
>>70471383
Let's be honest, you're probably not nearly intelligent enough to actually see the flaws in this movie. That's why you are the target audience.
>>70474634
you said something really retarded
>>70473796
Paladins vs Death Knights
>>70474634
Ignorance is bliss, I guess.
>>70474710
Jessie pls.
High fantasy played straight is critical cancer. It's not based on any currently highly-valued IP and it goes against the current trends of dark/low fantasy. Combine that with rushed pacing and hokey fantasy jargon and you get an critically panned movie.
I hope the 10+ million people who have played the Warcraft games are enough to make it succeed at the box office because it's not an objectively bad movie by any stretch of the imagination.
70471383
Completely agree fellow anonymous! Warcraft™ is a masterpiece and stuck up critics know nothing.
>>70472820
I'm afraid that will never change
>>70471383
They did better than the new Star Wars IMO. It did please many fans but it didn't do it in a "lol look your favorite characters xDDD" way.
Yes, they fucked up some intros due to cut content but other than that it was a pretty solid movie and they really showed that they actually cared for the games. The music and details were great and the style was game-ish and not trying to be realistic, which is something that actually improves the movie.
Were they expecting some grimdark shit style? It's fantasy. There's horrible kills, there's plenty of innocents dying and there's world-shattering magic fucking shit up but it looks flashy because it was based on something which was flashy to begin with. Overall a pretty solid movie.
The major flaw of the movie is that it was trying to tell too much... but it didn't. Those who played the games will instantly get the whole thing and enjoy the movie, but the rest will probably feel that there's something missing. Let's hope all the cut content fixes this issue.
Also the king looked like something straight out of Excalibur, which is something I really liked.
>>70475210
Problem is they wasted screen time on Garona and Lothar flick which is irrelevant to the story and they neglected completly the point and cliff hanger for the second movie which is forming of alliance and invasion of Burning Legion! Also the pupet master Sargeras, missed chance.
>>70476875
The problem is that they cut 40 minutes of matherial. It's almost third part of the movie. I'm sure there are a lot of important and interesting moments which make movie much better. I have no idea why did they thought that make film shorter is good for audience.
>>70471788
How does any of that shit matter? If you don't introduce Sargeras and the Legion and all these other assholes then it's really pointless to try and deliver a bunch of exposition about shit you have no interest in. Not to mention that trying to cram all that shit in would be too much.
Guldan is corrupting the orcs and he wants to take over the world. That's all that really matters. If you want to deal with the legion and all that then the natural point for that would be Thrall and his story which is all about cleansing the orcs from corruption. Other than that you could just have a straight prequel that's all about Ner'zhul Gul'dan and Kil'jaiden
>>70476875
They kinda formed the alliance at the end of the movie atthe king's funeral. Then shouted "For Azeroth, for the alliance!"
The invasion of the Burning Legion will be in the third movie, if at all.
They might skip it completely so they can tell the Thrall story and finish with a happy ending when moses leads the orcs to the promised land (Durotar).
>>70471383
>yet another shill thread
Your garbage movie was a flop get over it.
>>70474596
Or maybe it's just a shitty, cheap videogame movie that only a bunch of smelly neckbeards like.
You are not relevant, and of course everyone is laughing at this piece of garbage.
>>70471383
I'm baffled at how hard this piece of shit is getting shilled in here.
Only Blizzdrones could unironically like this garbage, and I love how confused they look when everyone is laughing at the trash whoever hack directed this delivered.
I'm waiting for grimdark Warhammer fantasy movie. Or an MMORPG in the Warhammer: Total War world.
Warhammer lore is better than LoTR and Warcraft.
>>70477397
>t. someone who hasn't seen the movie
>>70477397
desu I cringed at how much they fucked up with wow and Diablo 3, but they actually delivered a decent movie. It's a movie that didn't try to fit or ride on any pop trend, it just tried to be a good videogame based movie without being fanservice: the movie, which starwars did and the critics fucking loved it even though not even the music was remarkable.
>>70477548
>literally the only argument blizzshills can muster up
If this movie was capeshit it'd be laughed off this board.
>>70477822
Thanks for admitting you haven't seen the movie
Why didn't they go straight into the Third War?
You have the Arthas Fall, Illidan turning into a Daemon and a bunch of other maddening shit.
You could even end the movie with the leaders of each race coming together and forming the Alliance and Horde
I just want a fucking Arthas movie
>>70478093
Can't understand WC3 without understanding WC1 and WC2
So many shills in one place Orgrim.
>>70478093
arthas is an overrated edgelord, and the story of warcraft 2 is far more interesting
warcraft 3 just go full retard with the lore.
>>70478211
Il never understand Arthas fanboys.. they act like hes some epic character when in reality he was just a fucking stuck up tool being used by forces smarter and greater them him
>>70477822
>If this movie was capeshit it'd be laughed off this board.
I, for one, I'm happy with the movie not being just another carbon copy of some popular fantasy.
They did show us a bit of the world of Azeroth and they made it work. Elves and orcs looking like the real deal and footmein with their tactics and armor. It was enjoyable.
I wonder who would playKel' Thuzadif they made an Arthas movie.
>>70478162
>>70478211
I'd say you could probably start with the Second War, and explain the First with flashbacks
>First Follows WC2, Introduces Arthas and teases Illidan
>Second is WC3, Introduces Illidan and the NE fully, Stratholme burns
>Final is Full Arthas becoming the LK, Illidan runs to Outland and the 2 factions are created
>>70478278
I'm a much bigger fan of the LK as a thing, rather than Arthas
>>70477265
>Your garbage movie was a flop
There's a long way to go but it's actually doing better than expected internationally. Number one in France, UK, Russia, Brazil, Spain, a dozen other countries.. number one two weeks in a row in Germany.
$70 million dollars after one or two weeks in 20 countries, 36 countries to go including US and China.
>The acolytes of Azeroth have united to lift Legendary Pictures and Universal Pictures’ Warcraft to a better than projected $29.9M this weekend. That takes the cume to $70M after two frames.

Warcraft is a carbon copy of Warhammer, it's not creative, Blizzard has never done anything creative.

Yeah, literally everyone, anon.
>>70478211
Darth Vader is overrated edgelord too. Joker, Magneto either. So, why not. People love charismatic vilians with tragic stories.
It was shit. Only wow fags will defend it. It makes capeshit look good.
>>70478348
>I'd say you could probably start with the Second War
You'd miss out on so much stuff, especially all the orc character development and the development of the Horde
>>70478278
>he was just a fucking stuck up tool being used by forces smarter and greater them him
He broke free from all those forces though when he realize he was just being used
>>70478450
don't compare darth vader to a retarded edgelord kid
>>70478485
I'm attempting to find a way that wouldn't turn WC1 - 3 into a 9 movie series
>>70478421
>Warcraft is a carbon copy of Warhammer,
What I meant by that is that the Warcraft movie wasn't LotR or GoT or Harry Potter. It was a Warcraft movie and it showed you the stuff part of the Warcraft universe in an enjoyable way.
The director did a good job.
>>70478484
You know what else was shit? Your mom after she gave me one of the worst blowjobs possible.
Kill yourself kiddo. I hope you get cancer and die alone.
>>70478609
Warcraft is shit. If you enjoyed spending a monthly fee and doing the same shit over and over. Good for you, fucking pleb.
>>70478555
WC1 & WC2 can easily be turned into a trilogy
WC3 requires at least 3 movies
>>70471383
>The same issues films like the new Star Wars had.
the new star wars was garbage though.
You comparing it to that makes me want to see it even less now.
I was gonna see warcraft just for the nostalgia factor of playing all those games.
>>70478521
Isn't Darth Vader retarded edgelord kid too?
>>70478667
i don't play wow but nice try
>>70478646
>kiddo
Imagine paying a monthly fee to do same shit over and over, or was it your parents who paid for the fee? Kiddo.
>>70478521
I would say that Arthas' fall is much better than Anakin, but Vader is a better character than the LK
Still that WotLK intro cinematic really is a credit to old blizzard's creativity and intelligence - shame its all fucked now
>>70478782
>Imagine paying a monthly fee to do same shit over and over,
Warcraft 3 is a one time purchase you retard
>>70478211
>arthas is an overrated edgelord,
As opposed to the rest of the villains in movies these days?
>>70478421
>Warcraft is a carbon copy of Warhammer,
It was initially but they did develop into its owm thing. Also, Warhammer is pretty shameless in how it rips off other things.
>>70471383
Movie reviews are always so los, as much as videogame reviews are always so high
Add 20 or 30 points next time you see a movie review
>>70478667
Never got into WoW.I still play warcraf 3t to this day.
>>70478819
>I would say that Arthas' fall is much better than Anakin, but Vader is a better character than the LK
Well, Vader isn't really the main villain - the Emperor is so it would be a lot more proper to compare the LK to him rather than Vader.
>>70479016
And arguably the LK isn't the main villain
After all the Burning Legion are the "true bad guys"
>>70471581
but all Warcraft 1 - it's fighting for fightintg. There is no more fucking scenario, are you kidding? Film based on the first Warcraft, what you expected lol?
>>70479016
>>70479056
LK isn't a villian at all. He didn't do anything bad, but fucking livings came to Northrend and begin their invasion.
>>70478667
>he never experienced the joy of raiding with your bros every single evening
>he never experienced the joy of spending literal months on trying to get a boss down and finally accomplishing it

You can do it by just focusing on orcs and humans.
https://twitter.com/ManMadeMoon/status/738868880773283840
I'm not to clear about the chronology in WC3, but I think Thrall escapes captivity, unites the orcs, moves to Kalimdor and settles in Durotar all before the Horde and the Alliance unite to fight the Burning Legion. Is that right?
Jones has mentioned that the third movie would end when the orcs find a new home.

I went in blind, dont know much about warcraft.
Story was very easy to follow, cgi was amazing, but that's it. Felt a little bland, to try hard I guess?
Its great for fans dont get me wrong, I'm sure it made fans happy, but the movie was just bad.
I enjoyed The Huntsman more, and some other comic book hero movies. I would even dare to say Batman vs Superman was better.
Sorry, but it's just my opinion. If you enjoyed, good on you. If you like warcraft, you'll probably enjoy it. If you don't or are oblivious to it. You won't.
>>70479160
Did Warcraft copy Star Wars and then Star Wars copied Warcraft? It's like paultry.
>>70479250
your opinion isrightand you should feelproud
>>70479056
Yeah, Blizz does have that annoying tendency to constantly invent ever bigger baddies who are secretly behind it all.
>>70479108
Yeah, he just murdered a whole bunch of people and destroyed a bunch of cities.
What pissed me off was the ending, the orcs won the first war and destroyed Stormwind so it kinda felt like the whimped out, hopefully the intro to Warcraft 2 will show a destroyed Stormwind.
>>70479250
What the fuck, it's an imdb copypaste or whta the fuck is that?
>>70479123
I enjoyed going out with my actual bros, being social and hooking up with women.
Yeah I'm sure that raid loot was awesome but it will become irrelevant in years time, when you moved on to real things
Lmao at your life, you probably stayed weekends inside playing wow, instead of going out.
>>70479332
It was Ner'Zul who manipulated him. After he finally banished this tyrant out of his mind, LK peacefully fell asleep on his throne. He just wanted peace.
>>70471788
All they needed was a 5-10 minute intro about what happened to the orc homeworld and a couple of scenes inbetween during the rest of the movie
>>70479157
>I'm not to clear about the chronology in WC3, but I think Thrall escapes captivity, unites the orcs, moves to Kalimdor and settles in Durotar all before the Horde and the Alliance unite to fight the Burning Legion.
Nah, he settles in Durotar after the Legion is defeated. The time between that and leaving Azeroth is spent making friends with the Tauren, seeking out the weirdo who told him to run to Kalimdor and killing Mannaroth. Also being a total prick to the night elves.
>>70472484
he turns into a avatar form of sargeras. The kind his mother fought and infected him
>>70479081
They've expanded that plot considerably now
Or rather given it a plot
>>70472820
depends on what are you going to see and how is it advertised. The rest is up to the market
I never realised how much I didn't give a crap about Rotten Tomatoes till Warcraft. I usually just use IMDB to know which movie will be worth watching in the cinemas.
I actually pity the fools who use RT. Have fun watching some of the most pretentious boring hipster garbage out there and miss out on all the fun.

Watched it today. Played wow for a bit but know basically nothing about the lore. It was bretty good. The american accents were annoying, but hope they make a sequel. Needs more dwarves.
What a horrible movie, greedy fucks just wanted to pump millions, good strategic move for money, but horrible flick. Could have just made a download from the blizzard client. Jews.

Calm down on the buzz words shill. . All the movies they make are average at best Even the fans say the couldn't bother to tell a good story.
The only problem I had with it was some of the words uttered like "spell chucker," "dad," and some more that threw me off as I expected their speech to be a bit more...archaic.
Nonetheless as someone who knows the lore but not really a purist, I followed it pretty well, Sargeras was foreshadowed, Medivh admitted to be the one that lead the orcs to Azeroth(which implies he had a motivation of some sort which might be explained in the second film), and I was quite surprised by how well the Orcs were portrayed, the "realer than real" meme kinda became reality.
>>70471457
It's unpopular because the story is shit.
It's ok when you are playing the game because you are the hero and you make your story.
>>70482420
I also liked the cameo of the Kirin Tor, the High Elves, and the Dwarves. It seems they are aiming for many films of some sort seeing they are giving the other races proper build up unlike other films that just inserted characters for recognition and "oh lol im a part of this movie and an incoming collab movie xd"
Movie critics hate video games so they take any opportunity to stick it to them, and video game movies are the #1 golden opportunity. The movies are usually awful though so it works out, but even if they're just average they'll get slammed anyway.
Why does /v/ have a persecution complex?
>>70479416

That's all of them.
Saw it 20 min ago. Didn't think it was as bad as the ratings, but it wasn't amazing either. I can understand it being confusing for ignorant people, and the editing wasn't great.
It was mostly fun to see Azeroth on the big screen
>>70471383
>can't understand why so many bad reviews
Too many hands handing the movie, and it shows: Universal executives, Metzen and ftriends, and Duncan.
I'm borderline normie and I'm hyped to see this high fantasy shit, bring on the dwarves and mages and the CGI, the idea of making a video game into such a huge, expensive project sounds so outlandish it might be good. Is this 3 hours long like LOTR?
If it's not completely, completely shit I think I'll enjoy myself watching it, can't wait to see giant orcs and armies and shit. I'm ready to go full plebdon't have anybody who will watch it with me yet though :^(
I've never played the game before. I can take my brother to see any movie for free with him next week, and I don't want to throw my ticket away.It's either TMNT2 (he didn't like the first one to begin with) or this, I don't see anything else of interest. Of course, I want to have fun too, and none of us have played warcraft. Is this worth... our time?
>>70484376
I doubt any flick on this planet can be worse than TNMT2 anon. Haven't seen it myself tho and don't play the games either but if I had to choose between those two it would be a no-brainer.
What movie can this be compared to? Avatar?
>>70484376
warcraft is colorful, a bit campy, epic, emotional, a bit gory and a somewhat family-friendly film (went to see with my parents and young sister, they all enjoyed it and laughed during the humorous scenes)
tmnt 2 is as dumb and noisy as the first one and brutally painful to watch
warcraft is light-years better than tmnt
i may sound like a shill, but warcraft is a really fun movie
If I want to delve into the warcraft world and lore is there any novel to read or do I really need to play the games?
>>70484434
No, i'd say Avatar is a better movie. This is John Carter of Mars tier. See it in 3D on a big screen and its good fun. And it is something a little bit different.
I haven't seen TMNT 2 but i've heard its just more of the same, and a bit mean spirited.
>>70484434
i can't find any movie similar to Warcraft, anon, it's really hybrid
think about LOTR meets Avatar meets John Carter meets Clash of Titans meets Pacific Rim
>>70484637
Warcraft is years better than John Carter, anon
>>70484529
it's recommendable, my only base for the wc lore was the third game campaign, and it was enough to understand this movie
>>70483943
to be fair warcraft 1 had different endings for both campaigns that were contradictory (humans pushing back orcs and orcs conquering stormwind)
warcraft 2 was the same (expansions changed that and made campaigns linear)
wow and novels retconed it a bit picking elements from both storylines and merging them into one, definitive but still

>Warcraft is years better than John Carter, anon
i liked warcraft and I would recomend it but I don't think it's better movie, JC was pretty solid and had no pacing issues, effects were top noch and it was more true to the source material

The details of the movie story are slightly different from that in the games and related novels.
There is a movie prequel novel called Durotan, and a novel of the game universe called "The Last Guardian". Both by Christie Golden. The details of the last guardian are slightly different from the movie, but its basically the same.
There's also The Rise of the Horde by Golden which is about what happened on the orc home world before they went thru the portal. Similar in time and place to the movie prequel Durotan.
These books are all downloadable as pdfs if you google and theres some audio versions on youtube.

you can also watch youtube videos of the cutscenes from WC1,2,3 and get a good idea of the pre-Word of Warcraft plot (and the plot of the potential Warcraft movie trilogy)

dunno about the others but last guardian was a solid read, I read a lot, not so much of fantasy but I went in expecting some trashy novel like most of the star wars EU bullshit but it stood on its own

You should just play the game desu.
Skip Warcraft 1, but Warcraft 2 is a fun game.
There's alot of lore in the games, but it kind of goes out of the window somewhere after the third WoW expansion. Too much retconning, time travel shenanigans, and just straight up not caring.
I saw it today, I really don't see a 20% score, if I had to be harsh this would be a 60% or 6/10, but it's a solid 77%ish

Felt the same about the pacing 40 mins cut. Can't wait to see the dirdctors cut

Playing Warcraft 3 and reading the Warcraft 3 manual was enough lore to get me into the series.

Warcraft is true geek shit, that normies won't understand.
>>70486496
Well, warcraft is geek stuff, especially when you get into the lore and shit.
But the true untouched geek shit that normies and women havn't touched yet is Yu-gi-oh card game, still untainted to this day
Anyone got a working link for a proper cam ? I'd like to watch it.
Can anyone answer.
Was there anything at the end of the film or in the credits that implied there would be a sequel?
>>70486496
Warcraft is one of the geekiest movies i've ever seen
>>70486585
watch it on the big screen, anon, it's worth it
>>70486657

Go on a early screening, my cinema shows it around 12:30 mid-day when for like 5 euros, and most of the seats are empty for any movie

Nigga I live in Belgistan, if I go see a movie I get my shit bombed.
>>70486654
yes, lots. every story arc ends on a "...to be continued" note.
>>70486654
There is
Theyform the Alliance, theHorde invades Azeroth,Gul'dan turns into some kind of dictator of the Horde, theyshow,Varianbeing greeted by the King, hinting at his future friendship withArthasGarona becomes a Horde member under Gul'dan's misconception that she killed the King by her own reasons,Lothar gets promoted and his relationship with Garona is not resolved, and finally,baby Thrall is found by some human warriors and.perform a little battlecry at them
They also show thedeath of Medivh, and his promise of saving Azeroth from the Burning Legion arrival in Warcraft III.
So yeah.

Watching regular normie cable channels I see commercials all the time

Darth Vader is most definitely a retarded edge lord.

Watched yesterday, the movie has some flaws like the rushed final and Lothar just being Rhaegar, but it's a solid 7/10.Even my marvel drone girlfriend agreed it was better than Civil War and TFA.
can we all agree that Foxtrot is the GOAT comic strip?
>>70488052
And I thought Family Circus was bad.
>>70488052
The math checks out
That young mage gave off a morman vibe. American accents should never be used in period pieces ffs
movie was fun and faulty
it feels a lot like it was directed by two polar opposite people. it was fresh in a weird way, but had a damn lot more potential
i really don't understand all the hate it's gotten though, i saw it before i saw the reviews it got, and actually thought critics would like it for all its eccentricities
