Blizzard should grill both Duncan and Metzen hard for that mess of a movie.

Instead of getting more people into Warcraft, this will have the opposite effect and hopefully kill WoW forever.

What pisses me off, is that they took 10 fucking years, for this shit, and the result wasn't nowhere near perfect.

They should have given it to Uwe Boll or something. He would have produced it on a smaller budget in a lesser time frame, and it would be hated just as much.

Warcraft 2 TOD, BDP
Warcraft 3 ROC, TFT
Starcraft, BW
Diablo 2, LOD

All these games were near perfect, but OK, forget these games.

The movie wasn't even an 8 or 9/10. RT consensus aside, people have been saying it's a 6/10.

This is what Warcraft Adventures or Starcraft Ghost would have got, if they were actually released.

No since it's not even released here, but even the most positive reviews aren't calling it a masterpiece. The lore changes I've read aren't promising either. They didn't even end with the sacking of Stormwind. Idiots.

This movie will go down as Blizzard's biggest blunder of the decade. Metzen should have thought twice about it.

>>
>>70635519

Making double cost means they will be at 0 profit from the movie and they will have just enough to make second movie, its not enough Anon.

It has to make tripple proffit at least to be called success, because they will pay off movie and marketing investment, they will have enough money to make a second movie and for marketing and they will have enought to share among themselvs as a payment for a job well done.

I will enjoy it that's for sure. But the flaws of this movie were acknowledged, even by those who liked it.

They work on this shit for 10 fucking years, and their script is short of being stellar?

>>70636238
I generally don't. I couldn't give a shit about Dalaran floating, because it wouldn't change the movie much.

But not sacking Stormwind is this movie's greatest blunder. The orc invasion isn't much of a threat, if even the humans managed to repell them on the first go. Now it seems like the next movie will be focused on Thrall, and the second war movie is growing increasingly unlikely by the day.

No fucking cuties like Alleria which makes Lothar blush, no kingdom betrayal like Alterac, no Guldan's death knights.

Instead, more fucking Thrall. Don't get me wrong, Lord of the Clans is a great story, but it will make no fucking sense for it to be the second movie.

You're only making us sad that you try to hang on to "success" as your only joy in trying to hang onto Blizzard.

I mean fans have wanted it for years and it looks fucking amazing, but okay.

>>70636418
No I'm saying when people say it's shit and paid marketers say it's ok then the movie must not be very good. You know it's a matter of balance

>I will enjoy it that's for sure. But the flaws of this movie were acknowledged, even by those who liked it.

The movie isn't without its flaws but they cut 40 minutes from the movie. Duncan said there will be an extended edition if the film does well.
>>
>>70635350
If it does terrible, I feel retribution for blizzard ruining the game. If it does great, then they'll start caring about the franchise again.

I don't know how much Duncan Jones is responsible for this, so I wouldn't jump the gun and blame him, but Metzen should be a shrimp on the barbie for this. He's been helming Blizzard's story development for years and all their games have gone to shit. It's high time he's been held accountable by Blizzard themselves, but that's unlikely as he's a Vice President and friends with almost all of the other executives.

>What pisses me off, is that they took 10 fucking years, for this shit, and the result wasn't nowhere near perfect.

watched last night with gf, she has no warcraft knowledge, i was a big fan of the old RTS games and have kept up with story etc since - - my main criticism was that it lacked a narrated intro serving to introduce some of the key characters and give a little background into what was going on.

my gf didn't miss it and just picked things up as she went along and really enjoyed that shit from a fantasy perspective, relating it to the earthsea quartet which she's reading right now.

Yes, studio gets very little of international sales [generally speaking] it's about 25% however, in China the same studio is doing distribution so they are getting a higher cut. Domestically studios get about 80/20 of the opening weekend, and then their share slowly decreases as theatres and distributors take a larger cut. It's also subjective based upon what deals were worked out during production.

Warcraft is a monetary success because of how it did in china, so we're getting a sequel regardless of how shit this movie is and it will likely bomb domestically

I'm 15 minutes into the movie and every scene so far has been extremely weird. It's like there's dialogue missing. Every character has been introduced so poorly. Ragnar was with that dwarf for all of 30 seconds, what was the point of that scene? Now they're going to find Medivh. Why? They barely established that something was wrong to contact him about.
>>
Double Toasted I think did the most fair review for it.

Said they knew basically jack shit about Warcraft, didn't really play the games or anything.

Ork shit is fucking amazing.

Human shit except Viking dude is fucking awful no fun allowed.

Bizarre pacing and character development issues which apparently was caused by last minute 45 minutes cut from the movie so they could get more screenings in a day.

Solid rental movie if you don't know shit about Warcraft, go see it if you play Warcraft.

They also said the main reason the movie is getting so much hate from their fellow critics is because it's a video game movie and most critics have a bias against video games. It's not a great movie, but the critics hate of it is bias pretentious bullshit.
>>
>>70636421
Overwatch is fun though.
>>
>>70637640
Yeah I feel there were some character development scenes cut, because everything is so fast paced. It's a real shame and I'm not surprised people haven't enjoyed this film outside from playing the games
>>
>>70637640
>what was the point of that scene?
Ragnar stroked a box full of plough blades that he had ordered from the dwarfs. That he is not buying weapons from them indicates that the world is at peace.

The dwarf's gift of a gun serves two purposes later in the story. It helps Ragnar personally and helps the humans as a whole.

More generally it shows that Azeroth contains races other than humans and that at least some of them live in peace together.

>>
>>70637147
>>Fel Magic instead of Mannoroth's Blood
I really shouldn't be defending the movie, but I think if they followed that exactly as in the lore, it would fuck the movie up even more for normies, cause then you'd have Mannoroth and demons show up for one scene, then fuck off and would never be scene again in the movie. That would be pretty damn jarring to the audience who are already struggling to figure what the hell is going on.
>>

>2-2+4=4

It's start up minus costs plus revenue equals profits. They didn't start with zero.
>>
>>70637951
because in the past he often bought weapons from them, so he is bestie friendies with the dwarfs.
>>
>>70637640

also, why would they transition from the "A new warrior for the horde!" scene into the opening title? It would have been much more powerful if they had gone straight from the orcs going through the portal to the title.
>>
how did they explain medivh getting corrupted in the movie

did i completely miss it?

because hes corrupted before birth in the official lore
>>
>>70638022
>because in the past he often bought weapons from them

Yeah but the scene doesn't establish that.
>>
>>70637147
Shut up faggot. The changes were fine.
>>
>>70638043
Either he says or the black box lady says that loneliness turned him to the dark side.

If you join the dots he turned to dark magic after his orc waifu was burnt alive for having sex with a human.

But that doesn't really contradict the idea that he had latent corruption from birth. Maybe he did.
>>
What I didn't understand was that Kadghar was introduced as the guardian's apprentice, yet Medivh didn't know who he was, what gives?
>>
>>70637070
Yeah but this is a movie. You have to show a city for mages, and set it apart from the other cities in Azeroth. So you make it fucking float because it looks cool as shit. Says everything you need to know about the city with one establishing shot without saying anything.
>>
>>70637237
is that a dwarf? why are his legs so short?
>>
>>70638063
true. It's in the novelisation, so maybe it was in the original script.

It's weird, it seems like the movie was butchered by someone who doesn't have a clue about movie making (the studio?) but in interviews Duncan seems very happy with the movie. Maybe he's a good actor.
>>
>>70636814
Why don't you find anything original to say instead of parroting what someone else has said. Unless that's actually you that comes into all these threads and says the same thing over and over again.

its was cool in some parts and really crappy in others.

Garrona was a terrible actress and some of the settings and effects reminded me of a really cheesy vhs that came with a DnDesque game my friend had.

on the hand, orcs looked great, battles were fantastic- first film I've watched where blatant cgi actually blended with the actors.

i don't think i'd recommend it though, maybe if you're really fucking bored and like cgi fantasy movies.

Great fantasy film. I haven't played WoW in years and I'd forgotten most of the lore but it was great to see it all on the big screen imo. Animation was fairly good and they did a good job blending it with real actors. Pacing is a bit janky but the battles are great and Guldan is a fantastic villian although the plot twist isn't very unexpected desu.

Well worth seeing if you have the time. Lothar and the King are badasses

>Warcraft Director Wants to Rival The Lord of the Rings

> ”Lord of the Rings really set the bar as for what a fantasy film should be. And like I said, I think fantasy has a much smaller set of films that are really the things you aspire to make when you make a fantasy film. We wanted to find a way to do it differently and give [the fans] a bit of a rival [to Lord of the Rings]. We just wanted to create a spectacle and give it an energy that was different but hopefully achieved the same level of success.”

too much "social justice" and "tumblrinas" have an agenda, and most of the time they write blogposts about how it was problematic etc. so to save the trouble of a triggered bitch ruining the movie for everyone, they let sane people from other countries watch it first so everyone gets hype.
