Now I feel bad about making fun of the people who walked out of Avatar wishing they could be Na'vi.
This """movie""" wasn't even as good as a Blizzard cutscene. Is this the way the US is going to get China back for its trade policies? Making horrible sub-toddler-tier """movies""" about video game trivia that only gold farmers care about?
Literally no one at the gym knows anything about this movie.

Granted, since I had zero expectations it didn't have much of a bar to pass. Seriously needed another 30 minutes of runtime though. It was way too short.
>>70710150
Yeah it was pretty short, watched it with the same expectations and i was surprised, in a good way.
>>70710150
Indeed, 40 minutes were cut.
I think the first act was bad (sucky editing, bad introduction of the characters), but the third one was incredibly good, saved the movie.
>>70710629
Fuck yeah, the third act.
Who needs a first act to set up the movie and introduce characters and shit, we're warcraft playaz, just put all the good shiz in the third act where it belongz
>>70710629
First act screamed pandering to the fans.
I can't even imagine what a casual would think of it since he has no idea what's going on
>>70710746
I am a big fan of the lore, but I hated the first act for its awful character introduction on the part of humans. Lothar, Khadgar, King Llane appear out of nowhere, with little explanation.
Also, Lothar's son was doomed to die.
Honestly I felt bad for Gul'dan.
>ignorant that his magic is killing everything

>as thanks they betray him
>obeys the actual rules of Mak'gora since Thrall used his Shaman powers against Garrosh twice when they fought without penalty

>>70710680
Well, on the other hand you have BvS, which had an emotional and coherent first act, then just gave up on act three and thrown the big stupid monster at us instead of making Luthor a valid antagonist on his own.
>>70708054
That movie was a fucking mess from start to finish. The only redeeming factor was orcs. Literally everything else sucked.
>>70710824
>>ignorant that his magic is killing everything
>>saves his people from a dying world
No, he knew all of that. He was the reason the world was dying. He also mind controlled Garona.
>no sacking of stormwind
I hope they just saved it for the next movie, reconning something like that huge screams alliance favoritism.
Plus without winning at stormwind, it makes little sense how the orcs would have the numbers to take black rock mountain.
>>70710883
Why do Marveldrones always resort to BvS criticism? How is BvS relevant here at all?
>>70710824
Thrall actually did cheat in Mak'gora though, it's explaind further in Legionwhen he loses Doomhammer and is excommunicated with the elements, and the elements basically calling him a bitch for cheating
>>70710907
that wasn't until later. The movie didn't even cover the fall of Arathi.
>>70710824
>saves Draka and Durotan's son's life
This is what I really loved. Gul'dan and Blackhand, some of the unanimously "bad" guys in the original universe, are made complex. Blackhand stops Gul'dan from leaving the Mak'gora and warns Durotan to escape; Gul'dan saves Durotan's son and has a point that they HAVE TO sacrifice someone to save other orcs.
Durotan ended up a much weaker character. Yeah, nature is dying, but if Gul'dan doesn't open the second portal, all the other orcs will die.
>>70710907
it'll be the first scene of a potential sequel. Cho'gall will reopen the portal with ogre magic and then him and Kilrogg will march on Stormwind and destroy it
>>70710938
Marvel is shit, and I don't think BvS was as bad ad the general score.
Just mentioned it because it was the opposite of WC: good first act, bad third act. The first act alone doesn't guarantee the success of the movie, while a good third act might end with the viewers leaving with an overall positive impression. Which is what happened with WC.
>>70710948
>when he loses Doomhammer and is excommunicated with the elements, and the elements basically calling him a bitch for cheating
That's so dumb
>>70708134
>Literally no one at the gym knows anything about this movie.
A couple of brehs were talking about how they wanted to get orc mode when I went to the gym this morning.
>>70710907
Yeah, the film ended up describing the events of WC1 manual, with the very first, unsuccessful orcish attack on Stormwind.
Stormwind will get the Esgaroth treatment in the sequel. Too bad there'll be no Alliance negotiations, since they kinda-sorta established this plot in the ending of this one.
>>70710965
>>70710996
Are you people delusional? This wasn't a film and everything you're referencing is shit, it doesn't matter, you can't just handwave all that information into a feature film that's not how it's done.
You guys are pretending this is a real movie when all the information necessary to make it so is in a game.
>>70711072

>"This is our problem how exactly?"
>>70711206
Why would you want to see that?

>>70711300
When Orgrim kills Blackhand, He becomes the first leader of the horde that isn't interested in chugging demon blood more than establishing a new home for his people.
>>70711393
he isn't wrong
>>70711437
Oh I misunderstood you.
I thought you wanted to see Lothar kill Doomhammer.
>>70711461
No he objectively is, Blizzard cutscenes are trash asides from the animation. Poor narration, little to no plot and certainly no attempt to provide a backstory. They are just eye candy for blizzdrones to wank over and aren't in the same league as a film. A fucking five minute clip of LoTR shits all over them.
>Garona acted erratic, and had strange mood swings
Normally I would call out bad writing or bad acting, but since she's being mind controlled by Gul'dan, it fits the character.
Honestly I'm glad I torrented that shit, holy fuck that was bad.
>>70711206
We already saw an orc duel.
I was glad to see it end the way it did. No drawn out skirmish where Lothar completely goes back on his thing about outsmarting the orcs rather than trying to beat them physically. Slide-n-slice, get 'er done.
Can't wait to see this movie, eat shit faggots.

God this movie hurts me.
There was a lot of shit that rocked, but on the whole the technical filmmaking, especially from an editing and plot progression standpoint were just not good
Best spell casting I've ever seen in a film
Orc segments were all boss
Humans looked like cosplay and most of the plot threads were awful.
I wish I had the technical knowledge to be able to articulate my criticism better
>>70712424
>Humans looked like cosplay and most of the plot threads were awful.
That is not too surprising. Blizzard forgot how to develop interesting human storytelling and character design as soon as WC2 has ended. This culminated in the phenomenon commonly referred to as "Horde bias" - inability of WoW devs to build the non-orc side properly.
>>70712565
Yeah but jones and the screenwriter were not at all beholden to the obviously flawed aspects of the game
>>70711555

They still had to consult everything they did with Blizzard, including their reference materials. And they had to allow Chris Metzen have a say in terms of writing.
>>70712809
7. Years.
Why was he so shit? Easily worst character in the film.
>>70712424
Humans looked dreadfully pathetic. It's like Blizzard blew up all their budgets on orcs and said fuck it to everything else.
>>70713033
Considering how expensive that CGI can be, I wouldn't be surprised if that's exactly what happened. All the human characters looked to damn... Soft. They all just seemed really, really soft. They all had baby faces and perfect hair.

You're right, just by looking at the poster you can't even tell that it's a fantasy war movie.
They should have kept it simple and showed more of the orcs.
They should have done something like X-Men:Apocalypse did, an orc holding a human around the neck or something.
Best new lore from the movies
Thrall is born dead and guldan brings him back to life
I wish they'd just made the original 3rd game's story into the movie, not this """theatrical adaptation""" shit
I hope Lothar dies in the opening scene of the next movie if they do a sequel. He fucking sucked.

Orcs were like that bro you had in highschool. Did everything together, then you had a fight and didnt talk for a while and now you just wish you two could get back together and go down to the bar and knock a few back.
But you cant. It's just not going to happen.
>>70713860
he'll die sometime during the next one if it's the second war
canonically it's during the battle of black rock spire which would be at LEAST half way into the next movie
Turalyon would essentially fill his role as main character and leader of the allies, I really hope they don't fuck him up

I think the biggest mistake of the movie was that there was so little time spent explaining medhivs corruption

>>70715003
I find it both sad and amazing that Blizzard, despite being steeped in Warhammer lore, produced such mediocre and lackluster human kingdoms as the ones in Warcraft universe. They certainly succeded in creating their own fascinating version of orcs, yet they forgot that it is impossible to have them shine against dull and unconvincing enemy.
And now, after all these years, it is simply far too late to fix this.
>>70712987

>>70715350
>They certainly succeded in creating their own fascinating version of orcs, yet they forgot that it is impossible to have them shine against dull and unconvincing enemy.
that's why Warcraft 3 and the beginning of WoW was so good. They stopped focusing on the orcs fighting humans and gave them both bigger problems
reigniting the faction war in Cataclysm ruined the story forever
>>70715453
Not to mention the storytelling was poor. No character development and poor shot to shot flow.

HAHAHAH LOREFAGS BTFO. The Orcs were big guys (4u). If you can't follow more than one character development story, sorry kid gg no re. The high-borne elves (pre blood elves) were one top surgery away from self identifying as clay figures from Wallace and Gromit. (Surprised Blizzard isn't getting sued for this) The Dranei cameo was cool and twisted, wish they would have shown more Alliance factions fighting against the big guys (Orcs). Mages are OPd (pls nerf Blizzard) Shoutout to that lonely Murlough. Memes aside, if you can ignore the lore discrepancies, it's a great movie with potential to be the LOTgR of this decade.
>>70713703
still not sure why they didn't just make it more like pic related (two main characters facing each other). do you think they were trying to stay away from the look of the civil war posters?
>>70715065
-of any meaningful plot development.
>>70711073
Try harder f***** the adults are speaking
>>70715350
It's no surprise, warhammer is a trillion times better setting than warcraft.
The only interesting aspects of the warcraft lore are the whole arc with demon possessed orcs (because it's different from both orcs being the canon fodder of the main enemy (LOTR) and being just zergers (WHFB)) and the old gods
it's generally a fucking shitty ass setting and the only reason it's relevant in the slightest is because the RTS games were huge successes and the MMO was a huge success after them
and before you say I'm biased, I've definitely sunk more hours in WoW than I've spent painting my chaos warriors
WH is untouchable as a setting, WC is a fucking mess
>>70715350
>produced such mediocre and lackluster human kingdoms as the ones in Warcraft universe.
What's so lackluster about them?
I think they had a good base in wc2, but then especially when wow came around they seemed to treat all humans as the same faction.
Orc clans suffered as well, except for frostwolfs.

Oh yeah the story was basically shit
Huge pacing issues, endless exposition and just felt contrived as fuck.
But that's what you get when you let Metzen at the writing. I'm just astounded this talentless hack still got his job after all these years. He has not produced a good story in years now and virtually any writer would do a better job than him.
>>70710150
Seconded
From seeing the trailers I thought it would be full of cringy dialogue and go off on cheesy uninteresting tangents.
Pleasantly surprised going out of the theater.
Hope Bowie Jr steps up his game with the sequel now that he has a film that wasn't well received in his portfolio.
>>70715453
I get the feeling that they realized they were running out of time and money at some point and focused on certain scenes, which is why the last third is so much better than the first, where >>70715543 takes place.
Also, Garona's character arc was satisfying.
>"I'm orc!"
>Orcs won't recognize her as orc
>Captured by humans
>Humans show her compassion
>Guardian implies she's her father
>Humans trust her enough to give her a weapon and to fight with them
>"Okay maybe I can get with these guys"
>Fights bravely
>Gets trapped at portal with king
>"If you kill me they'll see you as a hero and you can be our inside man helping us move towards peace."
>She kills him
>Orcs finally recognize her
>Stuck with people who didn't care about her a week earlier
>Humans now despise her as a traitor
>Possible love interest now wants to kill her
She got Monkey's Paw'd. Beautifully tragic.
Here's to hoping that if there is a second movie, they take the criticisms to heart so it can become a better movie. The fanboys in denial would have us see another movie with the same problems. The main problem being that the movie is shit.
>>70715587
The thing about posters is that there are usually a bunch of contractual obligations about how is on the poster, how big they are, whether their name is visible and so on. There have been some legit legal arguments about that shit over the years.
>>70715705
Well by the time WoW rolled around the events of WC 2 and 3 had pretty much wiped all but Stormwind, Gilneas, Dalaran, and Kul Tiras off the map. At launch Dalaran was sealed away behind a magic bubble and we didn't see it till wrath, Gilneas was behind their wall and we didn't see them until Cataclysm, and Blizzard has apparently forgotten Kul Tiras ever existed so all the humans left were basically the same faction. Pretty much the only other primarily human organizations are the Cult of the Dammed, the Defias Brotherhood, and I guess the maybe the Syndicate who haven't really ever been relevant to anything.

Seriously?
It's a 2hr 27 minutes already.
It was a real disappointment for me, the Horde stuff was great, amazing effects, great characters, but every scene with the Alliance was basically terrible. The kid they got for Khadgar was horrible, Medivh was great but he teleported around so much it made everything so much more disjointed and confusing.
Being a Warcraft player from the original game, they needlessly rewrote the lore just so they could jam more of the story into the one more. It originally took Gul'Dan more than a year to attempt to fully open the Dark Portal to release the Horde into Azeroth, they could've just focused on the small raiding parties that first came through, and even ended the movie with the fall of Stormwind but they fucked that up too.
I can feel Metzen's grubby hands all over the story, and he's never been a good steward of any of the writing in WoW, they basically crammed the story just so they can set up Thrall for future movies.

>>Lothar kills Blackhand instead of Orgrim Doomhammer
It was barely even a fight though, bit of a letdown.
I've still got the Samwise art of Doomhammer holding up Blackhand's severed head to claim the throne of Warchief, that's exactly what I wanted to see.
Orgrim still has to avenge his friend and unite the Horde, and hardly any of that has been hinted so far, his part was pretty minimal in this movie.
>>70711555
>Blizzard cutscenes are trash asides from the animation. Poor narration, little to no plot and certainly no attempt to provide a backstory.
You clearly haven't played any of Warcraft 3.

Gul'dan is no leader!
Durotan was! Durotan should have been the Leader!
>>70717106
Forget the struggle between orcs and humans.
I felt the whole movie was about Duncan and others desperately struggling to save the whole thing from the delirious stupid mess imagined by Metzen.
Anyone felt bad whenDurotan fought Gul'dan, knowing he was going to die and still fought him in order to expose his wicked ways and how he used the fel to cheat and exploit?

Was legit surprised they killed him off.
And his bitch
Even my pleb gf was upset
Also how many horses were murdered in this film?
>>70717640
Only one, over the years Blizzard has become incredibly efficient at continuing to beat the same dead horse.
>>70717640
>mfw that horse gets its legs chopped off and slams into a tree
>>70710629
I disagree. I felt the movie went to shit after Guldan killed the good orc. Everything felt rushed and the ending gave jack shit for closure which pretty much everyone agrees on.
>>70717760
Any battle where the orcs rush in and smash people and it's like they got hit by a car. They just crumple. And then the Durotan/Gul'dan battle where they're trading hits like it's nothing. Sick as hell.
Seriously, if you were watching that and not thinking how much you wish you were that powerful you're not a man. It's basically Hulk strength without the guilt.
I wouldn't mind being an Orc.

that's true, that's why you'll never see a real man watching gay shit like wrestling. it's a fagfest everytime I see them getting entertained at that shit.

Here's your re>>>/pol/y
>>70710746
I've never played the game and you're right. The characters did come out of nowhere for me and there was a lot shit like arch-council that just appear with no context. I didn't expect any characterization though and the movie was simple but strong. Its does exactly what I think everyone thought it was going to do. A story about orcs and humans fighting.
>>70712424
The editing and excessive use of smash cuts and transitions from unnecessary scenes to unnecessary scenes is the cinematography equivalent of reading Mein Kampf.
>>70720835
> Its does exactly what I think everyone thought it was going to do. A story about orcs and humans fighting.
While giving the audience no reason to actually care.
>>70720835
>The characters did come out of nowhere for me and there was a lot shit like arch-council that just appear with no context.
From a cinematic standpoint, it was jarring. But I feel like people take offense to this kind of thing on an intellectual and I just don't get it. People can't just wing it; everything has to be explained to them from the standpoint of "white American living in 21st century US", and any logical leap that forces them to connect the dots completely fries their brains. Shit is dumb. I'm a Navy brat so maybe I'm just used to being thrown into situations where I don't automatically understand how things are and have to puzzle it out as I go along. Like, the council in the floating city? Do you really have to have what that is explained to you? The mage said it's where he learned his magic, he already explained that he was offered to them for training as a kid, how many Star Wars/kung fu movies have you had to have seen to grok that the spiritual magic bullshit city would be run by a group of sage masters?
Warcraft has ALWAYS been a mishmash of surface level pop fantasy detritus used as a vehicle for interesting gameplay. As time has gone on they've gotten more serious and clever about it but you don't really have to know the lore to piece things together.
>>70719946
Orcs are nowhere near as bad as niggers.
>>70721509
I don't think it's that people don't get what the tower of wizards was, it's that it didn't make any of us care--especially those of us like me who went in here without lore knowledge.
The film has the job of giving you enough context to make you care. Yeah, no shit I can tell it's a council of wizards. No shit I can GUESS at what they do and who they are, and no shit the kid said he learned there and we can infer that they're not liked based on people's reactions to him. But the film needs to make me care about that if they're going to use it as a plot point. And they didn't. And that alienated me and made me not care about your stupid, stupid world you stupid, stupid movie.
Also funny bit about Navy brats being better critical thinkers. I'm also a Navy brat, and I think that was self-serving and unnecessarily trite. Like a lot of this movie.
>>70719946
Actually, Africans are weaker than whites in general. The "big black guy" is a meme because when people see a big white guy, its just a big guy. The tallest man ever was white and the strongest man alive is white.
>>70721509
You're right to a point. For me it didn't, but I'm gamer so I could write it off as "ah that's some shit I'm supposed to know but I've never played the game". But some people don't play games and probably don't know games can have a narrative and context as complex as a book, so they'll just think "arch-council, who the fuck are they?"
>>70721689
>I'm also a Navy brat, and I think that was self-serving and unnecessarily trite. Like a lot of this movie.
Well, it's not something that I LIKE to think. It's just been my experience that people in this country generally are really uncomfortable with cultures and societal paradigms that don't immediately remind them of their own. I would much rather be able to say, "Nah it's not the viewers they did present it confusingly," but that's not my takeaway. I make the same complaint when people have issues with weird words/names/plot points in media. Like you can't use context clues to determine that fal'Cie = god/crystals, or that the vampires were actually intelligent.
>>70721942
This is true but it's a matter of social/nutritional divides.
>>70716031
Hey now, I wouldn't say its shit. I'm a viewer that never played Warcraft but it still kept me engaged. THere's definitely heavy flaws with the movie though, but I feel there's more good than bad.
>>70716497
show me one PS2 game with graphics as good as that.
>>70721555
Orcs have honor. When little white boy beat the big green nigger in a fight, real niggers would have rushed him en mass and fucked him up.

Historically speaking, that's more the behavior of pissed off white boys. Gangstas don't rush you unless you cheat or they gang up on you at the very beginning.

>>70723746
That's my line.
I feel like the best way to describe this movie is they tried to make something great but just went a bit too far into full retard territory.
Which Orc was the Kurgan?
I just can't get over the fact that people are saying the visuals are the strong point of this movie.
It looks so goddamn fake, I am lost for words trying to describe how atrocious it is.
So seeing people say "well it sucked but at least the visuals were good" is really disheartening.
Not that I had any hope for the actual content after the trailer where the fucking guy WHO LOOKS NOTHING LIKE LOTHAR SHOULD drops that garbage one-liner "are you sure about that? ;))))))))"
what a fucking trainwreck

This clip does not do it justice its slowed down as fuck to make it look bad.
When you add the music/sfx and slow it down to the actual speed of the movie its much better.
>>70711206
Having not known about how Durotar dies, I was really hoping that Orgrim would stop the fight by calling out Blackhand
>>70715543
Khadgar was being held in SW they caught him at the Garrison.
>>70725394
except it isn't
I noticed it in the theater, for some reason mid way through this battle the orcs miraculously start getting slower and the humans are able to suddenly hold their ground against them for a bit

is Ner'zhul even in the movie? haven't seen it yet but I think he's a much more interesting character in the existing lore than Gul'dan
>>70725687
there are Shadowmoon orcs (probably, they might have been Laughing Skull) but none of them were named

Nope. Not even mentioned Kek

Probably because Blizzard armor, while having a nice style of its own, is fucking ridiculous and looks really stupid anywhere but a cartoony Blizzard game.
>>70725788
Shadowmoon isn't supposed to be on Azeroth.
But since Grom is there it's not like they care about that anyway.

it's hard to tell. They wore skull masks and Durotan mentions the Laughing Skull by name at the beginning, but none of them were named and they didn't seem edgy enough to be Laughing Skull so it's hard to tell
>video game devs making a gameplay oriented game and riping off Warhammer made a better story than hollywood writers
Whoever says that video games stories are worse than movie stories while also eating up modern hollywyood trash is retarded and should basically kill himself. Worst video game story is on par with best block buster story.
>>70725545
I don't watch Game of Memes so I wouldn't know.
>>70725857
Wasn't shadowmoon cucked into becoming the stormreavers? After Ner'zhul got duped the orcs lost their ability to be shamans and Gul'dan trained all the former shamans into becoming warlocks.
>>70725990
I don't think so, Stormreaver clan is a thing in WC2ToD and Shadowmoon clan appears in BtDP together with the rest of the clans that stayed in Draenor.
>datDurotan last fight
god damn it
>>70725923
Warcraft 2 has more interesting characters and story than any blockbuster movie made since it came out, if they adapt it and don't fuck up it'll be fantastic
>>70725990
the Stormreavers were just random orcs that believed in Gul'dan's leadership. They were probably mostly Shadowmoons that crossed over but it's never brought up anywhere that I know of
