Should I watch this piece of crap? It's better than X-Men?
No and its about the same
>>70621278
probably and no
>>70621278
Do what you want.
>>70621278
I really hope it gets a director's cut. It was maybe a 6.5/10 on its own. Fleshing it out would give it a solid 8/10.

>>70621278
depends, and yes
haha no
If you have a little interest in Warcraft, yes.
Otherwise you will find it boring

I don't think it'll be "kino" but it looks entertaining
>>70623217
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUU
Blizzard should blow their next load on an Overwatch series.
>>70622955
Holy fuck that looks like complete shit. Orc looks like a cartoon.
I'd rather watch Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

no
they should stick to anti art trash like videogames

Fucking queer
Watching this in IMAX today before it hits theaters.
IT STARTS AT SEVEN AND THERE IS A POWER OUTAGE!!!!!!! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>70621278
Just downloaded and watched the Chinese rip.
So. Fucking. Shit.
Holy good god the director was fucking shitting on Rian Johnson about Star Wars episode 8 and he releases this steaming pile of puke.
I can't believe how bad it was.
Chris Metzen should sudoku today.
>>70625559
pass the link so we can laugh together
Just watched the Chink rip and only have a rudimentary understanding of the lore. Who the fuck was that old woman in the black cube thing?
>>70623217
Kill yourself
Say it today, its a fun fantasy movie, it has all the right elements.
Not enough quips and the first real villain in a while, maybe that's why american critics don't like it.
>>70623199
HAHAHAAHAHA THIS CAN'T BE REAL
i'm about 20 minutes in, it's all fan service
>>70625913
or did it have too many quips
>>70625913
Because its a trash flick
Get some taste, /v/
>>70623217
Fuck you
>>70623199
Holy shit this is not going to age well
>>70621278
no
Blizzard needs to stop milking this IP and create new stuff.
>>70622958
Getting a little sick of seeing everyone claim that "If you have an interest in Warcraft you'll love it".
I played WoW for 8 years, saw the film, and found it to be trash. I know of at least 6 other friends who are in the same boat and feel the same way after seeing it.
Even a lot of the Warcraft "fans" are really not liking it. It seems to mostly be the Blizzdrones who bought their ticket around the same time as they pre-ordered Overtrash for $60 that are defending it to the hills.
>>70625716
Just get on any torrent site senpai. It's like the number one download today.
>>70623217
fucking faggot bitch
>>70621278
Just watched it. It was decent, but nothing special. Warcraft really doesn't translate into film well, regardless what they may have done, it's just too cartoony. Definitely can see how people are saying it felt rushed. The scenes involving Gul'Dan and fel magic were pretty cool though.
it's so poorly made, I don't even know how to feel
>>70626501
there it is
>>70621278
It's pretty bad. I was hoping it was going to be great but the story pacing is horrible and so is the character development. It changes scenes seemingly randomly, almost like a bad dream. Non-Warcraft fans won't even be able to understand any of it because they keep referencing stuff with no explanation.
Visuals are cool, that's about it. I hope for the next movie they look at story pacing, character development and the overall flow between scenes. As a Warcraft fan, this movie was pretty crap and they could've done A LOT better. I felt like they were trying to amaze the audience with too much fancy CGI and didn't think about actually putting a coherent story in there.
>>70626828
Dialogue was very bland and uninteresting.
>>70626907
reminds me a lot of the dungeons and dragons movie with the wayans
>>70623217
;c
>>70621278
don't do it...
i thought duncan jones was the chosen one.
moon - budget 5m solid 9/10

>"Get him to Goldshire"
Why did they introduce Llane in Goldshire? Why would the king be in Goldshire and not in Stormwind? Was it really just because of le epic WoW maymay?
for those who saw it, how can people say that people that don't play the game will not understand the story?
>green stuff is evil
>orc dindu
>humans are in peace with the other races
>orcs arrive
>fights
>plot twist
>some sequel baiting stuff happens
>the end
>>70627296
The story IS basic but it's not told well. Garona gets captured -> second later she's best buds with the alliance. Lothar meets Khadgar in the barracks -> second later they're in Kharazan and we have no idea who these people are. You know OF them in the lore but we have no connection to them in the movie universe.
It's a disjointed mess and takes you out of the experience. Some of it just doesn't make sense either. Honestly, the movie would've done well with some exposition explaining the titans and what not and the beginning of the world or some shit. It was hard to connect to such a bland and badly edited movie. I can't even imagine how uninteresting it must've been for someone who's not familiar with Warcraft at all.
Objectively, this movie misses the mark on a lot of basic fronts.
>>70623057
>>70623199
>>70622955
>>70622999
I don't get it, why not make it an animated movie? It would be better received
The problems this kino had were the same as BvS: too many fucking jump cuts to different places causing pacing issues.
>>70627676
I didn't play the games anon. I get what you are saying the story and I agree, it is told badly as fuck, but you can connect a to b, even though you shouldn't, like that jail scene with Garona and Lothar. I went to the movies with some normie friends and two of them really liked the movie as a fun, popcorn flick, nothing else.
Eh, I don't know, felt good to watch a huge movie that wasn't capeshit related and I left the movie theater thinking that I should watch some good corny fantasy movies like Krull and Beastmaster again
>>70623057
He didn't put the Blue Square above the guard first.
Fucking amateur.
>>70621278
Good Kino, enjoyable, got a neat hat at a local shop for 20 bucks. Imax 3D was good, but the acting is a bit dry.
a 7/10 would watch again
>>70627727
Duncan really missed the mark by having everything human related so polished and clean. At the end in the huge fight were things are dirty and what else, everything fits a bit better.
>>70627818
don't forget the tons of fadeouts
>>70623057
>turns guard into a sheep
>says it lasts about a minute
jesus christ
>>70627818
Well, it certainly doesn't help that they cut 40 minutes of completed footage to get more screenings in a day.
>>70627544
Yes a king must be super glued to his throne always.
>>70627828
It definitely had it good parts. I don't think it deserves the 18% rating on RT, more like 30-40%. You can connect a to b for sure but you really shouldn't like you said. It's not good storytelling if you keep having to fill up the blanks. You keep going "wait now we're here? oh so that happened, I guess". People end up not caring about your story if people are expected to make up half of it.
All these disjointed scenes would have way more impact if it had decent character development and better story flow. If there is a next movie, I hope they focus on that.

Yes, all of these can be answered with established game lore, but you shouldn't have to be pausing the movie to go read the wiki just to finish the fucking film.

>>70621278
>It's better than X-Men?
Were your parents related before they married?
I'm kinda mad about some things in the movie, but mostly that it felt too rushed, it ended badly, too.
I mean, Stormwind didn't fall, that's one of the biggest things from the first war: They lost it. HARD, and they ended the movie so fast that it didn't seem like it, the last battle should've been at stormwind
The shadow council should've appeared too, at least to give some exposition on the curse of blood and on the burning legion.
As everyone said already: If you didn't know the lore already, you were pretty fucked
>>70622891

It wasn't new when GW ripped off tolkien and D&D, either.
>>70628362
The drones have been spouting this over the past week or so. It's the latest damage control for the film.
The thing is, even if 40 minutes was cut (as seems to be the case), logic tells you that the 40 minutes was deemed not as important as the footage that was left in the finished product. As such, it's not going to turn a 2/10 failure into a pass or better, as some are trying to imply.

Dalaran to get answers
It was Medihvs mother
Because she faught the fel already and her baby was born with it because of it
Because he didn't like their rules
Because the kirin tor like most people in azeroth mind their own business until it affects them
not sure what you're talkin about
Medivh and Garona fuck and have a child
She's half Draeni which is why she speaks their language
Because dude she's hot as fuck my dick tingled the whole time
Wow wiki will have lothars story
He leads the military under the king
Because in the game he gets a gun there just as in the movie
the dwarves are a race and the elves were the high elves before they become blood elves
see answer above (just like the US not entering WW2 it's not a hard concept to grasp dude)
that's what the dwarves are known for being great crafters
He transforms into a demon at the end and a bird during the movie
It's a a arcane guardian (or was going to be before the fel) (possibly The Curator)
the Fel is demon magic it comes from sargeras( I may be wrong on this partially)
There is no connection to Medivh and Gul'gan except that sargeras has put some of himself into him in the womb after his mother warding him off of azeroth
His mother, and almost all these questions don't even need answered to enjoy the film and at the same time it's to make you want to read the lore and delve more into Warcraft...
>>70628594
Kill yourself, nigger.
>>70628686
>they cut out Grommash's dialogue
Pro: Khadgar
Con: Literally everything else
>>70628815
Also to add onto this
The Lord Of the Rings does the exact same fucking shit and even worse far far worse. Yet those movies are praised as the best fantasy of all time (not that they are or are not yes they rule) but fuck if you don't read the fucking index dictionary that is the silmarillion and the 4 other books then you only get like 10% of the story from the films.
The entire movie should have been fucking CGI.
>>70621278
Just got back from seeing it in Houston. Lived up to the 10 years of hype, wasn't disappointed with anything, and I'm disappointed in a lot of things in my life. I was amazed it actually got that PG-13 rating for the amount of carnage that goes on in it. People getting torn to shreds and their heads crushed, women and children getting thrown off cliffs in cages. Dat Gryphon, them mana addicted elves. The only thing I wanted was more of it. But hopefully that'll come out with the DVD, hopefully. Didn't they cut like 30 minutes of footage? I wanted this to do so well, and at least I got what I wanted.

Hate to break it to you but
http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/Garona
She's been half Draeni for a very long time and there's no reason to introduce her next to them in the film otherwise.
>>70627544
That's exactly what it felt like to me. The whole beginning of the movie was just showing so many locations trying to fit in as much "lol get this reference???" shit in. The murloc made me facepalm a bit.
Saw it today. It seemed more like a B-list movie and I can understand why it was rated so poorly. The whole premise translates very badly into a serious movie narrative. Warcraft was always a campy fantasy with a lackluster plot-structure.
It's a cliché-fest from start to finish, many of the actors put in no effort at all, the settings and props look fake. All the armor looks like plastic and the locations look like a theme park.
The plot jumps around all the time, zipping from one name-dropped place to the other. There's no emotional impact, no character chemistry. Most of the interaction seems forced.
>>70628989
Both movies have a very easy plot to follow.
LotR = frodo you're going on a journey and shit to get rid of this ring
Wacraft = Orcs you've been tricked by gul'dan to invade another world after destroying your own and now you're gonna be fighting humans.
>>70628815
>Wow wiki will have lothars story
Movies should be self-contained, especially if they were trying to lay the groundwork for a franchise. Basic questions of "who is our protagonist" should be at least be answered rudimentarily.
>>70628972
This cinematic always seemed weird to me.
It feels like it's aged the worst, visually, compared to all the other cinematics, which still look fine today.
Can't put my finger on it.
>>70628973
>make a decent TW with all the mechanics Warhammer needs
Have you played it? It's pretty fucking great. Each faction feels unique and somehow CA actually made it so it runs great and has very few bugs. Quite frankly it's bizarre considering their reputation. The only downside is the diplomacy aspect is kind of weak.
>>70629015
she's half human in the film
I just saw it an hour ago
>>70629061
He specifically asks for his backstory you fucking idiot. You don't fucking get Bilbo's backstory in the fellowship or fucking gandalf or anyone you fucking cunt stop being a fucking moron and learn some reading comprehension.
>>70629046
>The plot jumps around all the time, zipping from one name-dropped place to the other.
This is one of my major things against this movie, they wanted to do fanservice:the movie, and they kinda fucked it up because of it
>>70629074
It's the shading.
>>70629090
I just saw it yesterday and not once does it mention that she's half human, she thinks she's half human. Like her whole backstory is that her uncle literally spends his life looking for her after finding out she was born.
>>70629015
She's half human and daughter of Medivh somehow(because it would be too difficult to say some shit like "They're your people" in the dialogue where the Draenei appear)
>>70629143
she was told that she was half human
it's literally in the first 10 minutes of the movie
>>70629180
She's not Medivh's daughter she is his lover.
>>70629124
Yeah, they went from the barracks, to Goldshire, to Karazhan in the span of like 3 or 4 conversations. I've never made a movie but even I could only shake my head at that.
It seems like they tried to cram 30 minutes of plot into 3.
I was name dropping left and right and I was bored to shit
>>70629219
That's not really that crazy, they are at the barracks but have to leave to see the king and tell him about the fel. The king then says to summon the guardian so they take a griffin to Karazhan.
Again I can reference Lord of the Rings WHERE THEY DO THE EXACT SAME SHIT EXCEPT IN THE LOTR SUDDENLY 20 YEARS HAVE PASSED
>>70627960
exactly. The three losses in the movie had no impact because of this.
>>70628113
haha yeah, I agree. I don't know why I'm so apologetic, but those questions, except those Garona related, I didn't mind
>>70629219
This is where I think the missing 40 minutes was. Apparently they cut it because they felt it made the movie too slow, which is fucking retarded when you're trying to world-build.
>>70629015
She's half draenei lore wise, yeah we all know this. Movie wise they made her half human because.... Reasons?
Also, what the fuck was up with Khadgar turning fel into light magic?? That shit wasn't clever and just an arsepull. I don't know what's going on in the moviemaking business these days, but it's clear they're trying to peddle movies to absolute retards. The original Warcraft story was a lot more clever than this and I believe if it was adapted properly, it would've made for a better movie (Sargeras please).
>>70629318
It's all just an assumption though the orcs don't even know of humans yet so if they are the ones saying she's half human it makes no sense.
>>70628889
I really didn't think that i'd like khadgar so much. He looked so silly with his pathetic excuse for facial hair in all the promos
>>70629104
>You don't fucking get Bilbo's backstory
But you fucking do you goddamn retard
>>70629366
No you don't he literally evades his birthday party then isn't in the rest of the 95% of the movie.
Where is nerzul?
Didn't he predate guldan and after he took over nerzul got put in the frozen throne?
>>70629287
I can agree that the beginning, with Gandalf's research after he sees the ring, feels rushed. But after that the story properly picks up.
In Warcraft the whole thing feels confused. It becomes hard to keep track of what's happening, whose side everyone is on. And that comes from someone who knows the source material. Are the orcs driven by demon blood now or are they 'muh honor' again? Why do they suddenly obey Gul'dan just because he killed three of them when they denounced him as an honorless monster just a moment ago?
>>70629287
>Again I can reference Lord of the Rings WHERE THEY DO THE EXACT SAME SHIT EXCEPT IN THE LOTR SUDDENLY 20 YEARS HAVE PASSED
Oh, Jesus, I remember that. I had never heard of LoTR before watching the movie back in 2001. I decided to read the book after watching it and becoming obsessed with fantasy. I was expecting Gandalf's little "fact finding" mission to only last a few months at most, instead 20-30 FUCKING YEARS!
>>70629213

"traveling far I found love but I had to get away" and giving her a rose, come on, she's his daughter

>>70628585
because directors cut did nothing for kingdom of heaven amirite
>>70629401
Because in Fellowship of the Ring he's a pretty minor character. And you STILL learn more about him than the main characters of the Warcraft movie. You know it's his birthday, he's lived for ages, he's an old friend of Gandalf, he's Frodo's relative, he's hanging up his mantle, he's got secrets, he's reclusive, he's been on many adventures and longs to get away again, he cares deeply for Frodo and his old friend Gandalf, he lives in the Shire and seems to know everyone, he's apparently fairly well off, tells and writes tales of his adventures, and so on. This was all off the top of my head too and I haven't seen the movie in 8 years.
What can I tell you about Khadgar? Uh. He's a commander, brother to the queen, knows Khadgar.. and that's it. Oh right he's a father too. Had a son we saw once.
>>70629401
>Bilbo gets the ring from Smeagol when he was on an adventure
>Ring gave him long life
>Bilbo was one of the only hobbits to do anything outside the shire
Literally all you needed to know about him for Fellowship seeing as he wasn't a main character. I'm sure there was more too
>>70629472
The fact it took you 30 minutes to find an exception shows how unlikely it is.
Deal with it's failure and you'll feel better for it.

I mean Lothar here. Look how much I give a fuck about the characters.
>>70629445
It wasn't 20-30 years in the movie. It was one of the things they changed
>>70629541
Lothar
>commander, brother to the queen, respects the King, has a son that he holds dearly because he's the only thing he has left, loyal, self confident enough to joke in time of danger, is askilled warrior, has the melanin fever and wants to bang the half orc chick
that's all I can remember
>>70629366
Uh, no you don't, retard. You hear about some adventure with a dragon, he has a birthday, and then he leaves. You never actually know WHAT he did, or WHY. You just know that he was an adventurer or something. That's not a "backstory", that's just vaguely describing a part of his past to the audience. You don't learn the specifics or who he met and why. Or how Gandalf and fireworks are involved.
>Lothar watches his son getting slowly and brutally killed
>reacts as if someone just keyed his car
>>70629580
im not the original poster, so I guess you won
Congratulations
>>70629615
how can he be the queen's brother if he's white?
>>70629604
I know. I was saying in the book it was 20-30 years, and that it confused me. Also, the fact that Frodo was in his fucking fifties (fucking halflings).
>>70629683
movie magic
>>70629632
>You never actually know WHAT he did, or WHY
Because it wasn't the fucking point of the movie and adds nothing of value.
>Or how Gandalf and fireworks are involved.
Gandalf is his friend and is coming for his really old birthday. How did you not get that? Are you autistic by chance?

>my wife's son

>giving roses to your daughter romantically
You've been on 4chan to long desu senpai
>>70629445
Yep people are shitting on Warcraft for the same shit that happens in lotr that you have to read the books to understand and honestly the books are harder to read than playing the WC games...
>>70629541
>He's a commander, brother to the queen, knows Khadgar.. and that's it. Oh right he's a father too. Had a son we saw once
We see his son at least 4 times... Also what do you we know about bilbo in fellowship?
Oh he had an adventure once, it's his birthday, hes got a creepy face wow big fuckin deal.
>>70629604
Yes it was lol...
>>70629762
So why do you need to know what a commander of an army did before this movie if you don't need to know what the commander of a group of dwarves did in the fellowship?
>>70629807
>Yes it was lol...
Look at Sam, Marry, and Pippin you tard. They didn't age a day when Gandolf was away for "20-30 years"
>this thread
>>70629896
Because they are halflings.
Bilbo is 111 during fellowship and only looks 50...which is what he was during the hobbit. If frodo is 33 at the start of fellowship.
>>70629807
>You've been on 4chan to long desu senpa
probably, but I didn't get romantic vibes, just a courtesy thing to make her feel more welcome
>>70629921
>tumblr
>>70629968
The fact that I had to explain your own defense to you while me myself defending Warcraft just proves how wrong you are and you should just give up.
>>70629968
>Bilbo is 111 during fellowship and only looks 50
>>70629446
Huh. You might be right. I want a director's cut now
>>70621278
Sure.
Don't forget to make the obligatory "just watched this, did I like it?" thread afterward.
what did you anons thought of the magic effects?
>>70629998
It was because of that minor plot point called the one ring. I know it was hard to miss in the movie called the Fellowship of the Ring
>>70630048
effect is good, choreography is sloppy
>all these webms
>every calling it shit
>still hyped as fuck for it and never even played wow
>>70629979
Nah they fuck while it's just them two at the tower and she's taking care of him.
>>70630011
What's the problem?
>>70630048
They were tight as fuck, I honestly wasn't expecting them to go all out for magic and was expecting the shit disney and stuff usually pulls where they try to explain it or make it scientifical and shitty nah they just are like yeah it's magic and it's sweet boom.
>>70630048
glowing eyes ruined it. liked the little floaty runes in some spells, though
>>70629762
>Because it wasn't the fucking point of the movie and adds nothing of value.
Gee, you mean like it doesn't hold any value to the Warcraft movie to explain every little detail of Lothar's backstory? Double standards are fun, aren't they?
>Gandalf is his friend and is coming for his really old birthday.
Oh, gee, no shit? I NEVER would have guessed that!
>>70629807
>Yep people are shitting on Warcraft for the same shit that happens in lotr that you have to read the books to understand and honestly the books are harder to read than playing the WC games...
Oh, jesus, yes. I have more Autism than a Otaku and Brony orgy, and even I was bored reading through those books. All of those explanations about terrain and enemy troop numbers or little details about the environs that would go on and on, and the story would get NOWHERE!
>>70630109
>What's the problem?
>>70630080
>>70630080
Shit where does it explain that in the movie though? Oh yeah it doesn't explain that in fellowship also you guys are acting like 111 is ridic because of the ring but that's only 10 years above average and they STILL LIVE TO BE LIKE 130. THAT'S RIGHT 20 MORE YEARS AFTER THE FUCKING RING IS GONE
she's his daughter.
this is from the novelization.
>>70630048
I liked it just fine, but i'm not one of the autismos who start sperging out every time they see cgi, so what do i know
>>70630011
Nothing wrong there. Bilbo WAS 111 at the start of the movie, and was about 132 or some shit near the end.
>>70630147
Seriously though not only do you have to read the books but if you don't read the silmarillion then you only know like 30% of the fucking lore. This is coming from someone who read the fucking silmarillion
>>70630086
yeah, even though they released a video with Khadgar training hand movements, guy was a baby face shitty actor though, even though he looks like he tried
>>70630109
>Nah they fuck while it's just them two at the tower and she's taking care of him.
poor Lothar
>like yeah it's magic and it's sweet boom.
yup, paper burning and that wall of lightning were great
>>70630131
>glowing eyes ruined it.
I liked them, I felt the movie was campy and the glowing eyes added to that feeling for me
>floaty runes in some spells,
Iron Man ruined the circle spinning with info holograph for me
>>70630223
133 to be exact.
>>70630208
That's a screenshot that means absolutely nothing here's some actual lore http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/Garona_Halforcen
>>70630208
I knew it
>>70630262
>what is a retcon
Yes, in actual lore, she is his lover. The movie seems to have changed her to being his daughter.
>>70630262
movie changed things anon
>>70630239
forgot to add about that campy feeling I was talking about, just look at the golem design
>>70630239
>poor Lothar
I mean it's standard Alliance protocol to be a cuck so it's just staying true to the lore
>yup, paper burning and that wall of lightning were great
Yeah and the arcane missiles and that shit Medivh does in the forest that takes out like 10 orcs or the bubble shield they use, or the teleports, fuck I just loved the magic in the movie so pumped for the second one now.
>>70630295
We'll have to agree to disagree until the creators acknowledge because if that's the case we might be getting some serious retcon coming in the next movie.
>>70630328
Also the reason we'll have some serious fucking retcon in the movie is because we already don't have Garona at the tower when Medivh dies and it's not Lothar who kills him and Khadgar was not turned old so quite of bit of shit already in the movie although not really anything important. If they make Garona not have a child with Medivh there won't ever be another Guardian...unless they are trying to make Garona a guardian...which is a big fucking retcon.
>>70630262
>>70630223
The movies never mentioned time and it's implied that it wasn't 20 years by the other hobbits that didn't have the ring not aging.
>>70630386
since you seem like a lore fag, why isn't Khadgar the new guardian?
>>70630414
No the movies are implied it's 20 years but it's not even fucking mentioned that's the whole problem. You're pretending it's not happening but it happened. The whole reason it takes 20 years is because of how much traveling has to happen so it's not like they can suddenly not have to travel that far...
>>70630434
It's a lineage http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/Guardian_of_Tirisfal
>>70630386
>honestly thinking they were planning that far ahead
the day med'an shows up on screen is the day i seppuku
im just glad that we finally have a movie that embraces magic.
>>70621278
Why did they make the sets look so phony and awful?
I get they were kinda going for the cartoony look of warcraft but it looks super fucking jarring while watching REAL actors parade around the sets
>>70630513
And to add basically with Medivh suddenly dying he has no time to train potential guardians (although yes he was planning on Khadgar to become one seeing his potential) but still the council has to make it happen or you're born with it from the previous one.
>>70630513
>The whole reason it takes 20 years is because of how much traveling has to happen
If it took Gandolf 20 years to get to Gondor on a horse, why did it take Frodo less than 2 to walk into Mordor?
Do you even fucking think before you type shit?
>>70630513
>http://wowwiki.wikia.com/wiki/Guardian_of_Tirisfal
oh cool, will check it out later
>>70630536
read somewhere that Duncan wanted to make everything like the game, this was wrong IMO, everything is so clean and crisp that everything human related never felt like it was a place where people lived or clothes that people wore.
>>70626987
Give him 100k and he'll top Citizen Kane, amirite? :D:D;D
>>70630532
that's one of the reasons I'm cautiously optimistic for Doc Strange
>>70630536
They don't look phony at all, I'm assuming you haven't seen this on the big screen and only a cam rip or webm's but the actual sets look epic as hell. The dark portal is probably my favorite besides Ironforge.
>>70630574
I'm not sure what you're trying to say you clearly don't know the lore so why are you trying to argue? It doesn't take Gandolf 20 years on a horse to get anywehere nor does it take frodo 2 years to get to Mordor.
>>70630590
Be warned Warcraft lore is fucking delicious to get into, you can get pretty deep in those pages easily.
>>70630622
You do realize the movies changed things and didn't follow the book 100%, right? You're trying to take the book time and apply it to the movie and it just doesn't fucking work.
>>70630622
He's referring to the human sets.
The Orc sets are fine. But the human ones (mainly the throne room) look too shiny.
One thing that I didn't like, [spoilers]Blackhand and Lothar was too fast [/spoilers]
>>70630622
everything orc related was good, everything human related was too clean, they looked better during the last fight where they were scratched and dirty.
>Duncan Jones said that the original script was very one sided in terms of the two factions (Horde and Alliance). after signing on to direct, he made major edits to the story, as well as the script, so both factions could tell their side of the story.
Looks like we would've had a much better script. Hope Blizzard takes the criticism to heart for the next movie and doesn't allow too many script edits.
>>70630741
but that was one of the good things about it though, you get to see how views can be changed when shit goes down
HDTC out two days before American release.
Can't change your customer base Blizz
>>70630714
The movies didn't change anything though that's one of the whole reasons they are highly regarded as fantastic adaptations even moreso with the extended editions, they just literally don't hand feed it to you and if you want to know that you still have to read the book. Holy fuck are you autistic?
>>70630718
Eh I never noticed any issues with them it's mostly underground dungeon shit anyway for the humans
>>70630574
>If it took Gandolf 20 years to get to Gondor on a horse, why did it take Frodo less than 2 to walk into Mordor?
Because he had to do a LOT of backtracking, researching, and learning to find out about the Ring and it's history. Seeing as it was three thousand years beforehand, as well as him looking into that whole "Aragorn" thing, it taking 20 years is not all that difficult to imagine.
>>70630779
It's only good if it's pulled off well. He tried to do too much all at once and it became a jumbled mess.
>>70630793
>The movies didn't change anything though
Tell that to any Tolkien fanboy and see what happens
>>70630852
In the book. In the movie he goes to Gondor and figures it out in a few months
>>70630889
I love how you can't grasp the concept that time passed in the movies. This is hilarious to read.
>>70630963
I like how you think it was 20 years because the books said so. Tell me, where was Tom Bombadil in the movie?
>>70622955
Are the guys in the foreground jacking off to their comrade getting his neck crushed?
>>70621278
Just came back I really liked it the pacing is trash but it was entertaining
i honestly don't know what to think about this movie since i don't know anything about warcraft lore. for the people who knows how is it? did they change anything?
>>70631062
The whole point is that 20 years passed without being explained and hit literally cannot grasp the concept of something happening without explanation. You're the reason all entertainment in the world is becoming oversimplified garbage.
>>70628779
I always thought it was Starcraft that started as a 40K game. It seems they just couldn't stop ripping off GW.
>>70631118
Keep on digging that hole dumbass
It's baffling how decisions like this ever get made. Anyone with at least a double digit IQ should have been able to predict this would be awful right from the concept.
How do so many people with single digit IQs get into these important decision making positions?
Why would they put in orcs that are obviously Grommash Hellscream, Kargath Bladefist, and Kilrogg Deadeye and not give them speaking roles? Besides the title characters, Grommash is the most prominent orc and he doesn't say a word the whole movie.
>>70631105
As someone who has been a fan since 1995 i loved it and think it's a great adaptation of orcs and humans. I can see how someone who is not a fan won't think it's interesting but also could make them want to learn more.
>>70630889
I thought Tauriel was pretty true to the Hobbit books.
why did they make the half orc so damn sexy?
>>70621278
I'm a half hour into the HDTC and I'm nowhere near drunk enough to enjoy this. It's hot garbage that nobody who didn't spend the past decade avoiding losing their virginity could enjoy.
where the fuck is the other races? how the fuck they going to franchise this shit lol
>>70631301
...You can't be this dumb.
>>70631301
This is the beginning orcs don't meet trolls until they travel, high elves haven't become mad with magic yet, the plague hasn't happened yet, etc.
>>70623375
It is anon. I understand that /tv/ needs to be contrarian about everything, but irrational hate is stupid. Its a good, fun fantasy movie.
>>70631418
Extremely contrarian, i can't fucking stand tv and v anymore.
>>70631418
No it isn't. If you like garbage like dubbed Chinese cartoons then you might like this shit but for normal people this is terrible.
