ITT: What you liked and disliked about Warcraft. I personally would rate it as an 8 for what it is.also did anyone else think durduram got cucked by one of those blue creatures when his wife gives birth?
should have decided a different color for a still birth.
>>70557629
Also I thought the magic in this film was done great
I didn't like the way Garona was supposed to be Medivh's daughter, I don't like how they made her half-human instead of half-Draenai.
>>70557709
my friend who is "really" big on warcraft (he wrote a 10k+ word script for a warcraft film) told me it was something to do with the books or a decision they made that they had to "fix" i couldn't tell you the actual reason
>>70557629
I'll go see it on 9th or 10th. Will write thoughts later.
>>70557709
Garona was originally half human.
Being half draenai makes no sense, as she is supposed to look more human and draenai look less human than orcs.
>>70557629
>I personally would rate it as an 8 for what it is.
Confirmed for pleb. Numerical ratings are for idiots that can't articulate what they like or dislike about a film.
>>70558011
so was it a stylistic change to make the character relatable to the viewerand also to include a shabbily put together love story
>>70558104
I thoroughly enjoyed the film I felt my money was not wasted. I am starting this thread to critique the film
>>70558131
>so was it a stylistic change
It was just going with the original version. Garona was changed from half human to half draenai in a shitty comic no one likes, so this was ignored because her being half draenai makes no sense in the context of warcraft 1 where no draenai are heavily involved.
I liked the little details (lions pride, murloc, sheep,...) and the magic.
disliked that they made the queen a nigger. not even racist, but it makes no sense when lothar, her brother, is completely white. could have made anyone else black if sjw need this shit, but siblings with different skin colors?
>>70558236
she was more of a half caste. what stuck out to me was theChinese Elvesit just looked odd.
I also liked the nods towards the games

I thought the Orcs were well realized and that's probably where all the budget went. Gul'dan and Blackhand look badass. the magic effects were cool.
didn't like that it was rushed. it felt like we were already in a sequel rather than the first movie of the series. characters were rather bland. didn't really care for them except for Durotan.

I have seen it and it was a terrible film.
I used to play as well, so I got the shitty fanservice which seems to be the only positive that you drones repeatedly spout (I RECOGNIZE THAT PLACE/PERSON XDXDXDXD, :OOOO MURLOC!!!).
It's a movie based on your hobby, and you like it because of that. I get that, and there's nothing wrong with liking it for that reason. However, you look like a completely delusional fucking moron when you then try to argue that it's an objectively good film.
>>70558418
That's what gets me. There are shitloads of games with stories that could easily be adapted to film, especially adventure games.
Hell, The Dig would've fit right in with movies like Cocoon and The Abyss.
Producers instead go for shit that has no legitimate story whatsoever, or completely rewrite any that do to suit their own... I dunno, pride I guess.

Nice FX, Medivh and based Gul'dan are the best thing of the movie. Everything else is succesion of cliche situations that you may enjoy or hate depending on your hype level. Also asian and white high elves.
If you're a fan you're gonna love the details and the recreation of the world for the first 30 mins, then you're going to wonder why they cut 40 minutes and feel like they ended the movie too fast because they ran out of budget.
I would like this film to succeed just so they can make a War Of The Ancients trilogy.

Avatar fagging is a bannable offence, just so you know.
I am really fucking bored and can't sleep so I ended up somehow coming across a 'review' for the movie by some tumblr-tier bitch who thinks it has racist undertones or some shit because the 'leaders are all white' and some other nonsense.
I haven't seen the movie and I don't really know all that much about the lore, but... I assume that is because... Oh I don't know... the characters they are based off of are ya know... white?
It really is a pretty laughably terrible review if anyone is as bored as me and wants to read it:

>>70557629
I liked how Blackhand shown to be actually honourable and simply not a bruttish puppet of gul'dan, I liked how gul'dan saved baby Thralls life giving more dimensions to a previosly one note villian, i liked how Medivh was potrayed as well as his death. And i really liked the Durotan vs Gul'dan fist fight
I loved it and was smiling throughout
There's only a few things I didn't like
The lightning cgi felt a bit off, the king's helmet and the rather generic golem (though the scene with it was pretty good).
Everything else was great, I even enjoyed the acting of the humans against my expectations as I'm not a great fan of Ragnar and felt that Khadgar casting wasn't the best.
It's a 3/10 for me. Haven't played a Warcraft game since WC3, never got into WoW.
The first 10 minutes are decent, setting up Durotan and his story and the Orcs invading Azeroth, but then it's like the film's editor loses his mind. Characters just start flying around to different cities on griffins and finding kings in pubs and wizards in morgues at a breakneck pace with nothing established or explained. It slows a little by the second act, but by that point if you're not on board with the lore you'll be lost.
Also, a lot of the acting outside Durotan and based Guldan is pretty terrible, especially in the Alliance. Lots of Final Fantasy Spirits Within style cliche lines. On that note, lots of bad CGI. Lots of odd moments - that orc chick crowdsurfing at the end while sobbing was hilarious. The romance was disastrous.
I feel if they'd taken a cue from Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and narrowed the focus to just one respective sympathetic member on each side, it might have helped ease us into this fucking weird world and story. Instead, we're spread too thin over a bunch of shit Alliance characters, too little time with Durotan (who does basically nothing despite being likeable), and the movie just kind of collapses.

>>70557629
I think that, overall, they did a pretty good adaptation, changing things to make it more palatable for the traditional movie market, but not fucking it beyond recognition.
The orcs were the best part of the movie. I'll never get over that actor with the odd eyes being the king, he doesn't look like one for me. Khadgar's actor should shave that shit on his face. He would actually look like what I imagine Khadgar should look like if not for that shit.
I kinda feel like pacing got fucked a lot too. After the introduction we get thrown around too much, and pretty much all of the parts humans played before both sides got to know each other were too fast.
7/10 for me, not the greatest movie ever but not bad, but I kinda wish they could do Book 2 (The Last Guardian) and then Book 3 (Tides of Darkness) instead of making this kinda enclosed history that makes a sequel a bit impossible (3 squads of humans managed to kill lots of orcs, if they just rushed that with all the squads they could have wiped the orcs. The orcs also have no real way of replacing their numbers, and they're just fighting against stormwind, Alliance would have never happened if the orcs were this weak in WoW universe)
>>70557709
? what
I don't remember seeing this on movie, I'm assuming that it's still half orc, half draenei, but assumed to be half human since humans don't know shit about draenei

how does Garona being half human make any sense, there are no humans in draenor

>>70568789
however, the orcs that were grown this way ended with other problems, like not being smart and being comically huge, as far as I remember
it's possible, but I think that it's far more likely for her to be the child of a draenei, maybe even induced by the Shadow Council to see what would spawn from such an event
>>70559398
>>70569240
Beyond deluded. Sci fi nerdy is in right now, and High Fantasy nerdy will just never be..."in". Its the only reason people can get away with saying this movie is shit. If this was 5 years ago before RT turned to shit realistically this movie should be between 45 to 60% and into darkness should have been below 30.
>>70562436
Yeah it was good.
>>70569430
>however, the orcs that were grown this way ended with other problems
Garona does have problems. Any discrepancies come from the fact she is half human.
>I think that it's far more likely for her to be the child of a draenei
It doesn't really fit the narrative, and her being half human fits the original source material.
>>70568943

>>70569642
>garona does have problems
Aside the whole mind control thing, what problems?
From the book, Garona's introduction:
“Half-orc, really,” said Medivh. He was bent over his workbench, fiddling with a golden device, an
astrolabe. “I surmise her homeland has humans, or near-humans, or at least had them within living
memory. Hand me the calipers, Apprentice.”
AFAIK it was never said that she's actually half human, only assumed since humans don't know shit about draenor till much later.
I'd give it a 6.5/10, it was very enjoyable from a fanboy pov but not very well written or acted.
>>70570201
>AFAIK it was never said that she's actually half human
In the Warcraft: Orcs and Humans manual she is said to be half orc and half human. Draenai as they are currently would not come along until BC, while Garona has been a character since the very beginning. She could not possibly be half draenai originally.
So... is it actually good or just a meme?
played all the games etc. even watched some of the fanmade "movies' when wow was at its height but i thought the trailer and screenshots looked like shit
>>"The prospect of a predominantly white, European realm being invaded by foreign, primitive, darker skinned hordes (they are actually called the Horde) might set alarm bells ringing in our current climate of immigration anxiety. Is this a veiled Ukip broadcast? Or a pro-Trump one? Nobody suggests the orcs are there to steal Azeroth’s jobs or exploit its benefits system, thankfully, though they are intent on overrunning their adoptive country and sucking the souls out of all its living creatures."

I'm worried,I'm a wowbaby who wants to watch this film and make my own opinions of it(hasn't coming out in Australia yet) and can't discern whether the hate for this film is because it sucks or because it's from a story written in the early 90's thus not 'PC' enough for all these retarded liberal critics.(honestly I wouldn't be suprised if most of the people who give this film a 0/10 are also rating the new ghost busters a 10/10)
Honestly though I'm just hoping it's better then BvS,that film was hot fucking garbage and I'm a DC baby.
Looking forward to seeing this film. Haven't played any of them three-dee warcrafts, just the first and the second game. Basically yeah, I'm pretty hype since the plot seems quite similar to the first games.
>>70572314
it's pretty good, though you might notice some differences if you read the books
>>70573374
the plot is first/second game, I think, never played those (or second book if you read the books)
I played WC3 and WoW and what the fuck is going on? why are the orcs not in orgrimmar in kalimdor? isnt GulDan a boss in WoW? Isnt Durotar alive in WoW? Is that baby orc (cute af gf and I giggled our tits off when it went down the river) Thrall? The why did they name it GoEl or whatever? Where is Arthas? Why did Lothar become king when its Arian Wrynn in WoW?
anyways, this film is exactly like Jurassic World. Totally shit in itself but fucking awesome if you like Warcraft to begin with.
>>70558011
>>70557709
>>70558213
First time around, Garona was half human. There was a long period of time between the opening of the Dark Portal and the First War. The implication is that a female orc raped a human male.
Then the timeline was retconned. The war happens almost immediately after the portal is opened. Since Garona's human heritage makes no sense, it's retconned to half-orc, half-draenei.
I haven't seen Warcraft, but now she's back to being half human? And Medivh's daughter? She was Medivh's lover in one of the books and several of the comics. It's how Med'an was born.
>>70574063
I have no idea what is this post trying to be other than bait. You disgust me.
>>70574063
what was wrong with jurassic world?
>>70574063
>I played WC3
>doesn't know why the orcs aren't in orgrimmar
I'll bite though.
This is pre-WC3, the plot happens about 20~30 years or so before WoW. At this point no human (aside maybe Medivh) knows anything about orcs, neither about Draenor. The orcs come through the Dark Portal in Eastern Kingdoms, the movie Gul'Dan is actually dead in WoW (the one that's going to be a boss is the Alternate Universe one), same for Durotar. Yes, that baby is the green Jesus, that's his orc name. In Lordaeron, by the time the movie happens he's still just a kid. Lothar is only there while Varian grows, he's supposed to die in the next book/movie, and even if he didn't die I doubt he would do something if Varian wanted to become king.
>>70574124
I watched the movie and I don't know from where that guy got the "Garona is Medivh's daughter" thing. The only difference from the movie and WC3/WoW concerning her is that Garona is implied to fall for Lothar.
I don't remember she being called half-human in the movie either, but even if she was called that, it would probably be just an assumption, not a statement. The way the draenei mother calls to her and Gul'Dan doesn't even seem to understand what she said also tips me towards assuming that she's still half-draenei half-orc.
>>70574124
>The implication is that a female orc raped a human male.
>>70558440
>tv hates it
Kill yourself pleb, Warcraft is PURE KINO.
>>70574124
I'm guessing Gul'dan used magic to make her look human?
>>70575665
She doesn't seem to be controlled by Gul'Dan in the movie though, not even helped tbqh
