>>70685387
Im a huge wow fan and i thought it was bad as a movie.
Anytime durotan and guldan were on screen the movie was amazing to me. Every second of orc was straight up fun to watch.
Then we get all the alliance human bullshit, holy shit did they drag the movie down and i mean down.
Seriously. If for some strange reason we only got to see humans for maybe 49 minutes of the film, it wouldhave been a great 8/10 in my book.
Its sad but il give it a 6/10 and thats because im being generous.

Warcraft is probably the definition of a "fuck you i liked it" movie.

>>70685600
More Durotan would have been great. Dad orc was best orc.
>>70685600
I honestly was suprised by the cgi. It looked great most of the time. Also, those actors are just god awful, it felt like they didnt care about anything, the death scene with loather was soo fucking stupid. I have to say the mpvoe had me like pic related everytime a human was on screen, fuccccck at least they proved they could do the orcs correctly
>>70685387
It's pretty common with movies made from things like video games and young adult novels.
People that like those sorts of franchises usually don't have very good taste. Then again they're usually children, so it's no big issue.

Pham...
Critics probably, you know went to go see a movie and rated it as such.
Fans went to go drool over the backstory of the extras helmet and get a boner when the orcs fight and rated it as such.
Some people see a turd and some people see an exquisitely shaped sausage sculpture made out of natural renewable materials.
>>70685474
Updated.
>>70685758
Stop. I've only a few honest disagreements with the film. It's quite obviously capeshit fans that are mad that Warcraft has taken the limelight from them and will continue to do so with a sequel. Only autists love LMAO superhero movies. Vidyakino here to stay.

>>70685838
Yeah the acting choices killed it for me. The CGI looked a lot better than in the trailer. However it did not really save it from just the terrible actors. The orcs really did look well done when they were the only ones on the screen. Also I hated the guy who voiced Gul'Dan. But I don't think anyone outside of people who have played warcraft would really have an idea of what the fuck is going on. The movie was all over the place.

>"I have a concern here," continued Blow. "My concern is that games designers of today lack discernment when we think about whether games are good or bad. If players play it and report they’re having fun, we say, 'hey that’s a good game.' If not, we say, 'they don’t understand it.'"
>Concluded Blow, "We don’t look at why they want to play. We have tools to keep players playing our game, but most fall into one category – scheduled rewards."
>Some examples of these "scheduled rewards" are collectibles, unlockables, achievements or advancing the story -- the player wants to beat the boss monster so they can see what happens to Joe when he walks through the next door.
>"Sometimes we take this really far," Blow noted. "MMOs are notorious for having relatively empty gameplay, but keeping players hooked with constant fake rewards – this creates 'the treadmill.' Rewards are a way of lying to the player so they feel good and continue to play the game." He noted some extreme examples of this, such as reported incidents of Chinese or Korean MMO players dying at the computer.
>He continued, "As long as players are hooked, it doesn’t matter how good the core gameplay is. As long as they want to get the nicer sword, they’ll still play the game, and as long as they play it’s all the same to us as designers – I’m sure at this point, people think I’m needlessly babbling on about this point. But I want to put forth this question – would they still play a game if it took out all the scheduled rewards?"
>"I’m not saying that that wouldn’t damage a game," added Blow. "It would damage almost any game. But if you strip it and just have the gameplay, does it fall below a certain threshold, is it still something people would want to play? We need to build that kind of discernment about the quality of play."
>>70685994
>buttfrustrated
This keeps getting better.
>>70685736
Ratchet & Clank got a 6.1 on IMDb, a 60 on Metacritic and 51% on RT from audiences with less votes than Warcraft. So nope.
>>70686030
>He clarified, "I’m not saying [rewards are] bad, I’m saying you can divide them into two categories – some are like foods that are naturally beneficial and can increase your life, but some are like drugs."
>Continued Blow, "As game designers, we don’t know how to make food, so we resort to drugs all the time. It shows in the discontent at the state of games – Radosh wanted food, but Halo 3 was just giving him cheap drugs."
>"The game industry is chasing bigger player base, and we’re exploiting them in an unethical way," Blow asserted. "We don’t see it as unethical because we refuse to stop and think about the magnitude of what we are doing. You can smoke, have fast food, and play World of Warcraft sometimes – when you talk about these things at a societal level, it becomes a societal problem."
>"The thing I want to get at is – I’m not trying to blame players here – what I am saying is, if you’re the CEO of McDonald's, you should not feel good about your job, you should feel ashamed. We don’t have that in the games business -- we don’t have that sense, because we feel like they’re 'just entertainment.' We don’t feel like we can do things we can be ashamed of yet," he added.
>Blow believes that according to WoW, the game's rules are its meaning of life. "The meaning of life in WoW is you’re some schmo that doesn’t have anything better to do than sit around pressing a button and killing imaginary monsters," he explained. "It doesn’t matter if you’re smart or how adept you are, it’s just how much time you sink in. You don’t need to do anything exceptional, you just need to run the treadmill like everyone else."

In case you're not trolling:
All of those numbers are user ratings/ratings by the general public.
For actual critic numbers, see
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/warcraft/
>26% (Avarage 4/10(, 20% for Top Critics (avarage 3.6/10) vs. 82% User rating (4.2/5 = 8.4/10)
http://www.metacritic.com/movie/warcraft
>32 critic score vs. 8.2 user score.
its seen every time there's a marketing budget, as people are paid to pump every score they can.
>>70686070
>"You don’t come away from WoW with that in your head, but that comes through subtly and subconsciously," Blow added. "It’s like advertising and brand identity. People identify with their activities – same thing with games, people are products of their origins and their environments. We’re giving them these environments and helping to determine what they’re going to be."
>"I say this kind of thing, and everybody’s like, 'whatever dude – you’re smoking something,'" said Blow. "I want to frame this; it’s a matter of scale. What I see as a primary challenge for mankind in this century is to understand and deal with the fact that despite these good enterprises -- human rights, safety, leisure time -- we do these at such a scale that we cannot help but have them affect the world, as with global warming, ozone holes, pollutants – we haven’t dealt with it yet."
>Carrying over the analogy, Blow said, "We don’t intend to harm players but we might be harming them. When tens of millions of people buy our game, we are pumping a mental substance into the mental environment – it’s a public mental health issue – it’s kind of scary, but it’s kind of cool because we have the power to shape humanity."
>He continued, "What I see right now is that we’re cultivating this style of gamer that just says 'I want more of that because it tastes delicious, and that’s all I know.'"

The movie basically requires you to have played the games to know what the fuck is happening.
They never explain Medivhs backstory about being corrupted from birth by Sargeras so one moment hes a good guy then the next hes a demon. The movie is definitely more enjoyable if you've played the warcraft games and already know the story.

Wrong. There were several pre-screenings and it premiered in other countries on May 25th.
You're either new to IMDb or ignorant. They only allow ratings on either the international premiere date or a few days prior. There are always scores before premieres for most movies, and it's usually from pre-screenings or events.

No, it wasn't perfect, but it sure as shit wasn't nearly as bad as what the critics made it out to be.
It's a great summer blockbuster movie. I don't even play the game and thought it was tons of fun.
Some of the actors were cringeworthy, and the garona/lothar love story was stupid as fuck. But overall I was entertained. 6.5/10

You can't complain about a movie not explaining the background of every culture in its fantasy world in the limited time given, and then complain when the more hardcore fans tell you that there are other sources available desu
>>70686852
The Garona/Lothar was stupid and rushed, partially redeemed by it never going anywhere in the movie.
The first bit, orc-side, the acting was a bit awkward.
Khadgar took a bit of time to get used to, and his sob-story, while -- seemingly intentionally comical, was kinda cringy.
Medivh just looked like a hippie they got off the streets.
Gul'dan being able to fight hand-to-hand with Durotan was strange to me.
And the movie tended to cut from scene to scene a bit too quickly, kinda pulling you out of it.
And Medivh's first demonic form was kinda just generic and boring. Second one was okay - made me think of a satyr at first.
Aside from that, it was good enough, and my cons aren't -that- big, so I'll give it a 7.3 myself.
I actually felt a bit bad when Durotan died, especially the way he died.
In the middle of the film, I suddenly remembered and realized: "Oh shit, Durotan and Draka die."and then they did.
It's not the best story, but I'm definitely supporting it believing that there's way better yet to come. The first bit of Warcraft that the first movie encompasses is pretty generic when it comes to fantasy themes; it's basically building off of the fundamentals of medieval fantasy.
It's only later that Warcraft really expands and grows its own identity proper, and that's the stuff I really want to see. The Burning Legion, Old Gods, draenei, Illidan, night elf civilization.

IMDb has functions in place to prevent that kind of spam, you should probably read the details on the weighted ratings they have. There;s a reason the median is a 9 and the arithmetic mean is 8.3 (the actual average) but the final rating is only 7.8.

The art style is retarded. And were the fuck are the pandas. Wasn't their pandas in WOW?
>>70687382
It's the start - the fundamentals. If enough people support the movie, we will get Arthas. There's no way they're going to skip over the Lich King story.
And I will be fucking hype when that happens. Can't wait to see the death knights, skeletal constructs and dark themes.
That cinematic still gives me goosebumps, too.
>>70687398
Arthas is what everyone wants to see. Greek tragedies are great and Arthas's gradual descent into madness would be awesome, having him start as the great protagonist and turning into a genocidal tyrant who kills his father.
To do it justice would require more than one movie, though.
>>70687382
And not a single fucking orc in sight.
Also, that's a really good cinematic. Terenas's monologue over it is perfect.
>>70687528
I like Arthas, but I'd also like to see Grom.
And yes, I saw Grom. Kargath, too. Them being there just made it hurt that most of what they did was stand around looking cool. I think neither of them really spoke, did they?
Yes, seeing Grom standing around with Gorehowl not being anything more than a random background character is excruciating.
>>70687398
problem is that all of those stories are way too big to put into a single movie.
they'll butcher all of them.
>>70687522
lets correct some things.
No one who's excited for the warcraft movie knows there were other games.
They aren't targeting people who played the other games, as those numbers are miniscule compared to how many people they're saying "wow touched."
If they do arthas at all, they won't at any point make him seperate from the scourge. Because introducing the scourge and then arthas would take two movies.
>>70687320
Well yea, no shit. Of course it's juvenile. Pretty much anything that people dork-out about is juvenile.
Sports fans are possibly the geekiest, dorkiest, most juvenile of them all (/sp/) but that shouldn't detract from the subject.
If you're going to participate in something, it shouldn't be surprising when you meet more hardcore members of said community. Hell, I BET there's a lore for even shit like Dora the Explorer, and I BET there are people out there who give a fuck
Sure it's annoying when you have some 35yr old tard tell you about Swiper's exodus and his developed kleptomania after constant isolation, but then you should ask yourself
"Why do I give a fuck?"
and walk away
>>70687320
>trying hard to look like an adult
you already failed.
>>70687382
Thats kinda the reason I want this franchise to succeed.
WC1-2 with Orcs vs Humans was never very interesting storywise but god damn is WC3 a great story.
ofc they'd either need to make it a trilogy or just focus on Arthas and the Scourge and cut out everything with Thrall, Achimonde and the Legion.
1st movie has Kel'Thuzad and Malganis as the villains, ending with Arthas taking up Frostmourne and killing Malganis, 2nd movie is the fall of Lorderon and Arthas going back to Northrend and becoming Lich King, 3rd movie is basically WOTLK with the alliance and horde taking the fight too Arthas and killing him.

>not wanting warcraft 2
Honestly, the only people who don't want Warcraft 2 are those who never played it.
How the fuck don't you want see Guldan's death knights? Why the fuck don't you want Alleria? Don't you want to see some motherfucking trolls, ogres, goblins, giant sea turtles, dragons?
Second War is best war.
>>70687224
I blame feminism.
Watched it with some buddies last night, and most of them loved it. Even one of them who has never touched a Blizzard game in his life thought it was decent.
My only major complaint is that they didn't show class distinction well enough. Maybe have a guy wielding a dwarven rifle with his pet wolf killing some orcs, or a rogue like shadowstepping and backstabbing a couple.
With all the stuff they had to squeeze in a two hour movie, it was pretty good. It was obvious that a ton of stuff was cut and apparently, there is going to be a +40 minute director's cut.
>The range for Warcraft is anywhere from $25 million-$31 million from 3,400 locations, a mediocre showing considering its net budget of $160 million
I mean, don't you want to actually see Uther in an actual War?
>>70687822
Kargath had plenty of screentime for a background orc.
>>70687843
Kids with short attention spans hate the first 2 storylines
So since Ner'zhul doesnt exist in the movie universe does that mean we will never get a movie with the Arthas/Lich King storyline since there is no scourge without Ner'zhul?
I'm not even going to pretend to know jack-shit about Warcraft lore, but
Where the fuck were all the Dwarves, Elves, and other races when it came time to raid the portal?
There's that scene at the round table where its all "yea, we gotta unite if we want to save our world and keep the peace" and then you dont see another dwarf or elf until the fucking funeral at the end.
Its like the Dwarves only exist to give the humans the hilariously convenient weapon that one-shots Orcs.

Fuck Wotlk, the only ending scene that would make justice to the games would be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OW02BWFRnkw
I am a fan of the games and all but fuck the story of the MMO, i would rather have original stories and new endings if they are to continue doing stuff past WC3
Anyone who wants to go to Warcraft 3 is retarded.
I hope they don't include Taurens in the next movie. Seriously, don't fucking include Taurens. Do Warcraft 2 justice.

>>70687937
Majority of races at that point only cared about themselves really. The Alliance between them came long after the First War. Also, they still didn't grasp the severity of the situation and didn't want to send their own troops to just die.
>>70687979
It wasn't bad but orks are OP typically. If you played the game, Orks are suppose to be big but Humans can still take them on and the size difference is hilariously off in the movie. Regular orks were the size of chieftains and chieftains were the size of trucks
>>70685387
>Don't think I've ever seen such a huge divide between critics and audiences.
That's because the critics didn't play the game or read the lore.
I loved this movie. I was skeptical at first but I ended up really liking it.
Gamora had the best part. I also liked kadgar a lot. Solid 8.5/10.
>>70688038
It's not a flop by any means, it's just that only chinks and dumb euros care about it. It's underperforming in America, which makes sense since the game isn't a thing anymore either.
>>70685387
Because it's not a regular audience. Those are commited Wartards loading them like Scientologists reviewing Battlefield Earth or Ayntologists reviewing the Atlas Shrugged movie.
>>70685387
Only angry fat nerds liked it, so who cares.
>>70688124
>>70687979
All these reviews are confusing me the fuck out.
I don't even know if I'm going to absolutely love it or absolutely hate it. It doesn't look like it's coming out here for another week or so.
Fuck.
>>70688149
Tumblr pls go
Orks really steal the movie, too bad Durtan or whatever dies.
>>70687937
Did you even pay attention. Other human kingdoms didn't give a shit about Stormwind, dwarves were angry with other kingdoms for extorting their industry.
Basically one giant political clusterfuck.
So it's only for dumb marks and fanboys of the series? Guess I'll pass. High fantasy is 95% garbage anyway.
>>70688248
I'd go see it for the cg alone. The effects are really cool. The Griffin's feathers were so detailed. But the armor looks kind of fake ass on the humans what kind of little plastic key.
But that's just me paying too much attention to detail. I also laughed a lot it was kind of funny in an odd way.
>>70688077
>the size difference is hilariously off in the movie. Regular orks were the size of chieftains and chieftains were the size of trucks
Actually, if anything, the size is off in WoW (with good reason, since they'd have had to make Orcs the size of Tauren, and Tauren the size of Fuck You (Which they couldn't because Tauren already barely fit through doorways).
If you look it up, the canon size for orcs is 6'6'' on the short side, and 8'6'' on the tall.Tauren start at 9'8'' and go to 11'8''
>>70688359
I guess you could say they are pretty big guys
>>70688341

Why would you use IMDB as a metric for anything? There are literal Blizztards talking in the user comments about artificially bumping the score regardless of the movie's quality.
>>70685387
If the movie were only orcs it could have been a 7/10 for me but since it's not it plunges to 4/10 just because of how bad the casting and acting is in the alliance side.
>>70688429
>>Kharazan golem wasn't the Curator
This triggered my autism so much.
>>70688409
oh no muh cgi
>>70688429
I actually kinda like asian elves, since you can sellect diverse faces in the game.
Also....they knew China would love this movie.
>>70688429
Okay when medivh turned into a giant fell beast it was so much bullshit but like my brain turned off and said wow this is so fucking cool even though it didn't happen in the lore, and I'm like what the fuck blizzard shitting on the lore enough. Why don't you just make him a raid boss. And then it happened.
>>70688429
>No knights or paladins just foot soldiers on horses.
>Slave girl spoke english
I know she said she learned from captured slaves but how did they get slaves when the portal was not up yet?
Unless she instantly learned english from the captured slaves when orks reached azeroth
>>70688429
paladins don't exist until the Second War
>>70688429
Paladins and clerics are from Warcraft 2 and on, family.
>>70688644
They actually existed in the second war. Unless Blizzard Rec them out
It's already covered its costs to make. Now it has to cover it's media costs.
After that, it's profit.
There will be a sequel. It's KILLING in China. Who fucking cares about the retarded America market anymore. America isn't even fucking rich like it used to be thanks to the Democrats.
>>70685387
I loved it. Human acting was a bit off, but it did the games justice.
Hopefully China carries it into a sequel, possibly a trilogy.
>>70688678
Yeah in the Second War, not the First War. They were created after some Orcs slaughtered a church of priests and the surviving members created holy warriors.
>>70688748
>Human acting was a bit off
Travis Fimmel was clearly drunk
>>70687398
That's the problem though. Warcraft 1 and 2 don't really have much of a story so you can put them in a 2-3 hour film. Warcraft 3 has 4 entire stories, and if you count the expansion another 4+ since the orc campaing is pretty long.
It's a ''Ragnar lothrok does that holding his chest plate with his hands'' episode
>>70687940
Alleria was in W2
>>70688739
>Being such a Blizzard cuck that you praise fucking China, the country with about the lowest of the lowest-common denominator consumer, even worse than America
>>70685838
I wonder how bad will they miscast Arthas in the sequels.
Problem is that Duncan made the movie too serious. Even the game had some comedic moments. Humans were just boring and less lively than CGI.
dont you worry, the warcraft train already has enough financial momemtum to carry it through as many sequels and spinoffs as you can watch.
You might even still be watching, when they reboot with an all female cast in 2028.
>>70687692
Since the movie is a flop it doesn't matter anymore, but I mean, they could have released multiple movies ike Disney did with Marvel.

At least you accept you are not from here, fat nerd.
>>70689069
And it's still a shitty movie regardless of how much money it made. The animal cookie scene is the one of the dumbest, insipid scenes ever.
>>70689035
>WTF
Greetings, Reddit.
Damn, the acting was bad. These were summer blockbuster style production values with Syfy channel level performances. I liked the movie well enough overall, but the characters... They were all fucking unlikable except Orc Man.
>>70685387
They did NOT bring enough females to the other side of the portal with them. Sux2bethem
>that one review that said the orcs were poorly designed
Legit mad. I give the movie a 6.5 sure, but the orcs were the best fucking part
China saves yet another shitty flick, more news at 11.
>>70689035
So I guess all the box office projections and figures from the Hollywood trade publications are just wrong or crafting a false narrative about Warcraft right anon? :^)
>>70689189
Yeah the orcs were well designed. Only Gul'dans eyes looked bad.
>>70689189

>They don't like my shitty fantasy hogwash, they must be batman fans!!!
In fact i'd say the average fantasy pleb and the average capeshit fanboy share a lot of common thought. You plebeian retards are adorable. The best part is, people who like warcraft, actually think they have taste .
>>70686687
You seem to be confused.
It's based very closely to warcraft 1. It also incorporates all the retcons through the years.
You're just as clueless as the critics.
>>70689351
Retarded contrarian memers believe that anything critics dislike is secretly art.
>>70689249
Warcraft nerd cries compose 90% of the current capeshit discussion on /tv/The other 10% are BvS damage control threads.
>>70689333
it technically isn't. Tons of theaters don't even open till 6pm EST.
>>70689452
>it technically isn't
That's not how words work. If it's been shown in theaters, which it has, then it is out. Stay down, stop embarrassing yourself.
>>70689452
>Tons of theaters don't even open till 6pm EST
what are you on nigga, theaters have been doing matinee since i was a baby. fuck off with this nonsense.
>>70689472
Put it this way, then. If it was doing anything that could be spun as impressive, before a vast majority of the showings have even began, in the US, blizzard shills would be on that like white on rice.
>>70689510
>Put it this way, then
No, I've already put it the right way.

What the fuck are you talking about? Is English your 5th language, or do you have FAS or what? Seriously, you're making no sense at all.
>>70689545
Regardless of your shit-tier damage control, projections are figures are already out from the entertainment trades. Warcraft is underperforming against fucking The Conjuring 2.
Americans don't care about Warcraft and rightfully so. It's a series that is only held up by its awful fans who are used as glorified ATMs by Blizzard.
>>70689452
>EST
idiot
>>70689532
Its okay, I get it, you need to spin everything as positively as possible and come down as hard as possible on anyone putting anything close to accurately.
>>70689614
>anything close to accurately
What does this have to do with anything you've posted so far?
>>70685387
CGI was way better than i expected, excluding some of the backgrounds. Orcs looked amazing.
The human actors though.. what the actual fuck. They were all so awful. Lothar cant act for shit, he always has the exact same smug look on his face. The king was also terrible, as if hes not even there and his last scene was cringe worthy.
>>70689633
Well lets see
>friday china boxoffice is down from thursday
>LOL ITS OPEN IN AMERICA LOL WTF UR SO FUGGIN DUMB LOL
So I guess my mistake was acting as if you were an intelligent, rational, informed individual. No clue what your mistake was.
Now You See Me 2 is getting bad reviews too. Does that mean that the underage contrarians will brand it "kino" as well?
