It's not as bad as some critics say but it's not good either. The film tries very hard to be epic with plenty of special effects. Sometimes it hits sometimes it misses. There is something strange in the way it's filmed as well that make some scenes looks cheap and out of place. And the acting is bad. like really fucking bad. It's stil entertaining because it's Warcraft but it's clearly not what I'd call a good movie. And after having watched it I can't understand why they didn't do it entirely in 3D. It would have looked a ton better.

1. cgi is alright.
2. character design is alright
3. armor, weapons and other assets are alright.
4. writing is a bit shit
5. lore is fucking horrendous.

>orcs are 2-3x larger than humans
this annoyed me

Im not sure how they could have made it better, but i think if they made it something like the cinematics everyone loves them for, they would be able to reuse assets and such and be able to churn out a whole series.

The first movie should have covered the events preceding the invasion, shadow council, demons, blood of mannoroth, etc.

>>70644355

Yes it is...

Tell me how this follows the story of the game? The only instance that I can think of is Lothar and Khadgar killing Medivh, and even that's not like how it went down in the game.

Its not bad... If it has better actors it would have been 7/10. Overall its 5/10. Pacing is too fast and no character built up. Transformers and ninja turtles are worst.
>>
>>70644595

Pretty accurate plot last I checked

Orcs go through portal, orcs kill humans, humans fight back, garona befriends the humans, garona fucks medivh, khadgar kills medivh(i know lothar should have sliced his head off), the king is killled by garona, all seems to be there to me...
>>
>>70644776
None of that goes down the way it does in the game or the lore that surrounds it.
>all seems to be there to me
What about Doomhammer killing Blackhand, and Stormwind being destroyed? Probably the most important events of the game and that never happened.
>>
>>70642114

Holy shit, you two are litterally shills. Directors change the origional screenplay all the fuck time. They change it on the fly while shooting. They change things in editing to completely change the tone. Here is zowie Bowie saying he did did not follow the screenplay, and did rewrites himself.

Saw it today. All the negative buzz had me worried. Don't believe a single word of it. Just a bunch of 55 year old reviewers who give capeshit 4/5 stars but give this 1/5.

I'm not into Warcraft lore at all, i know some thing and i was pleasantly surprised. It looks fucking amazing, the human actors were good, Gul'Dan is deliciously evil.

The only gripes I had were the following

The orc chick gets buddy buddy with the humans in like no time at all. Felt kinda off. Don't understand why the humans would trust a literal alien that fast

Love story felt forced
>>
>>70645158
I would do terrible things to Paula Patton's anus though.
>>
>>70645158

To add, they nailed the magic. Finally looks like real, awesome magic, not that flimsy safe stuff they used in LOTR.
>>
>>70644449
and those two were bretty good 2bh
>>
>>70645158
i think they cut some things, them trusting her came really quick but also the one orc suddenly saying things against Gul'Dan came a little out of nowhere.
but honestly all the things i thought i would hate i ended up not minding much, like the fact that all orcs are cgi but this half orc human is just painted green, its really stupid but idk, she was doing fine so i didnt care for too long.

You mean hipsters and snobs who can't think for themselves?
>>
>>70645089

Also, I didn't know orcs exist in real life. They're more like mongols than nig nogs and sand niggers. Any analogy to the refugee crisis; both for and against it is far reaching as fuck.

Thrall is the originator of DINDU NUFFIN.

Still the best trailer they've ever done, everything about it is pretty much perfect. They've also been doing extremely good animated shorts for Overwatch.

They're a game company though, they're not used to feature length shit and mixing cgi and human actors isn't exactly working in their favor.

I liked the cgi and the action. the story was dull, drawn out and deviated from the original.

I saw the movie in the theater. The CGI is just jawdropping. All you faggits that complain about the movie are pathetic and you just want to watch a popular videogame movie fail because that's all there is in life for you. Movie is a solid 8/10 and obviously a setup for the next warcraft movies which will be even more amazing.

The movie is getting both overpraised and overcritiziced, which makes it very annoying to discuss.
Fanboys will overpraise it in response to the critics and in return these will do the same.
In my opinion, giving this movie anything below a 3.5 and higher than 6 is just wrong.
It's not that extremely bad, but it's not a good movie either, even if you're a rabid fan of the saga you should be capable of recognizing that this movie is at most a 6.
Personally I think it's a 4.
Perhaps with the extended footage it'll be better.

Bad acting, cringy dialogue, NOTHING is explained, they just introduce characters/concepts/plot elements every single minute and just roll with them without properly establishing them in the overarching story. Coming from someone who knows the games, it is still confusing so I can't even imagine what a normal viewer might feel.

It's just a badly written mess, there could have been a good Warcraft movie with the budget these guys must have spent and the director involved but these people just took the worst parts from the Warcraft setting and just took it waaaaaayyyy too seriously for how campy and cartoony Warcraft really is.
They changed a lot of things for no reason too, like, characters who die in the first game still live on in this, other characters die in different ways and many things happen differently/don't happen at all...but it's all for nothing, the changes add nothing worthwhile dramatically and some plotlines go nowhere really really fast.

One thing they did get right is the orcs being wayyy cooler than the humans, with their stupid fucking plastic armors, inaction and blandness still intact from the games.

I don't think the first movie should be about something else. Wow has been building up gradually. I like that they kept it as it was originally in terms of knowledge of the world. First it was orcs vs humans while not really knowing why and what are orcs. Then you get to know more about why and where from the orcs are. Nobody would go and see it if it wasn't the iconic orc vs human. I hope they plan to make a pre-quel though.

Also on the lore changes, I'm pretty sad about such big changes but I understand that you need to change it so it's easier to form into a movie. The war not really being a war pissed me off though.
>>
Im a long time wow player, so my opinion is biased. I rate it about a 6 anyway, but I feel the extra 40 mins could give it the kingdom of heaven treatment.
I went with my gf and a couple we are friends with, none of which are wow fans. All of them thought it was 'fun' when we finished, but a few days later and they actually want to see it again, seem to think it was memorable and silly but in a fun way. Thought that was interesting.

Anyone wanna answer some questions?

what was that horned thing the wizard turned into?
was the wizard always bad or did the green shit just take him over forcefully?
why is that green baby so significant?
why are some orcs brown and others green?

overall it was pretty good. I think it just needed to be 45 mins longer and it wouldve been awesome. I don't understand why so many people here want to see this movie fail. I was happy to see something that wasn't some gay superhero garbage for once.
>>
>>70652756
the baby is Moses
>>
>>70652756
Horned thing was basically him becoming a demon / possessed by fel, the evil magic bad orc uses.
This goes deeper in the lore, the wizard was corrupted when he was still in his mothers womb, no idea what the movie reason is other than it just happened.
Green baby will be grow to be the warchief of the horde, basically the opposite of the king of stormwind.
Green orcs are (willingly) corrupted by the bad orcs magic, brown orcs are part of the clans that didn't get corrupted. (This was explained in footage that was cut from theatrical)

Haven't read the movie book (and won't bother). It looks like it, so maybe.I was trying to explain it to someone who would have no idea what even the legion is, nevermind sargeras.
The film also doesn't explain anything beyond 'fel is bad magic' and the word demon is used once or twice, so just explaining it at face value.

>>
>>70652694
some anon said in past threads, the attempt to picture both human and orcs was a pretty shit idea (too much information for little screen time).
If they only focused on humans, focusing the geography of Azeroth it would be way better.
Also, the writing and actors were plain awful, so not sure if the 40 min could fix that.

This. Plus the actors were crap, the Garona character was laughable (from the makeup, to the actress, to her fucking tryhard arc), the sets were ludicrously cheap-looking and it just looks like it was directed to be a series that ended up being cut down to a movie. It's not catastrophically bad but it's certainly not good.
>>
>>70653594
Also what it reminded me of was what would happen if they made a movie half of which was blizzard cutscenes and the other half Westwood cutscenes like out of Command and Conquer or Dune 2000.

The more I think about it, the more I realise how awfully the Warcraft story translates to a movie. It's either too simple or way too much going on to realistically and justifiably cover it all in a movie. How the fuck would you make a movie of everything going on in Warcraft 3? And would you make the frozen throne story into it's own movie?

The way Warcraft's story plays out makes all Warcraft movies doomed from the start really. There's only so much you can do with a Warcraft before the realisation kicks in that it's a story that just can't be told with a movie. Like all video game movies really.
>>
>>70654046
They probably scrapped that ending.
The movie ends with the Alliance already forming.
In the games, the razing of Stormwind is precisely what triggers the alliance between elves, dwarves and humans.
In the movie that's gone, Llane dies and that's enough to unite everyone.
>>
>>70654152
there's magically already an alliance formed in that shitty meeting they had
>>
>>70654191
It obviously wasn't an alliance when they ignored Llane's plea for help and left Azeroth alone.
>>
So could the Orcs actually speak English/common or were they speaking their own language but in an attempt to limit subtitles the director just made it seem like English?
Not really sure if it was made clear since during the meeting with the Humans, Garona was translating but then Durotan started speaking English.
>>
>>70654257
it was pretty obvious that it was made to seem like english

You must be a special kind of retard.

Caged orc speaks orcish one sentence, on closeup transitions to english. Same happens with Durotan, half of the meeting is from the human perspective, when it focuses on Durotan is switches to Orcish AND YOU CAN HEAR GARONA TRANSLATE IN THE BACKGROUND

Would be cooler if they focused on Arthas instead, or did a cameo with Arthas as a child or something and did a follow up movie where it focused on him.

>Establish world
>Establish Arthas as prince and paladin in training
>show him as a cheerful and goodwilled man, a pure of heart individual driven by honor and compassion
>Make Uther be his paladin trainer
>Goes on a mission, finds frostmourne, whispers to him and is alluring to him
>Gets corrupted slowly but surely turning more and more ruthless and less compassionate
>have the iconic Arthas vs uther where Arthas denounces Uther as a paladin and strips him of the title
>Show him slaughtering the city and his fall
>His return to kill his father, the king due to complete corruption
>End the movie with him sitting on the frozen throne

Would be a much cooler film than "MUH PEOPLE".

>Uther yelling at arthas that as a higher ranked paladin he forbids arthas to do it

>arthas strips uther of his paladin title


Build up as apprentice and master throughout the movie could cause it to be a real emotional scene as well.

Fkin why didnt they go with the Arthas route instead. Normies would have understood the story much better as well as it is a corruption story that doesnt need a lot of background.
>>
>>70656257

Would be very forced. Considering he doesn't show up in 2 games later in a kingdom on the other side of the known world.
