Holy Shit that was sweet.
It really was. Took 13 friends of mine that knew nothing about it, except for me loving Warcraft in general. They were all surprised by how much they liked it. The women cried during 2 scenes in the movie, which was nice to see that it was emotional.

The audience at my cinema theatre liked it, but I imagine anyone watching it outside of cinema will walk halfway because of the badly edited first act, filled with weak acting, all to miss the redeeming third and awesome third acts.
Garona's ending was great.

It's amazing to me how great the orc scenes were and how shit the human scenes were.
It was like two entirely different movies stitched together.
Overall I enjoyed it, but I played Warcraft III and a little WoW, so I appreciated the love Duncan Jones put into this.
I understand the reviews, though. If you don't like high fantasy or care about Warcraft this is probably one of the worst movies of all time.

I think the moment the movie turns around is whenLothar's son dies

This is why movie reviewers need to be gassed. I don't fucking want to see generic comedy #896. I would love to see generic fantasy #5, though.
>>70756729

It's just baffling to me that they couldn't get better acting out of these guys.
The human acting seriously felt amateur, like network television tier. How do you make something this big and not notice something like that?
>Power Rangers: Warcraft

>>70757041
I'm real glad they didn't go with the current nerd trend and make all the characters into snarky, quipping morons.
I realized that nerds are often pompous and proud, hiding their insecurities. This is why they love snarky humor.
Warcraft didn't attempt to pander to that group like Joss' Marvel Movies have, which I applaud Jones for.
>GUL'DAN I CHALLLENGE YOU TO A DANCE OFF, YOU AND ME
What did he mean by this?
>>70757109
Were you baffled? How baffled?
>>70757033
I don't disagree, I'm not defending its failings, I don't think the pacing finds its footing until the third act. I'm just saying that I appreciated that this wasn't just a cash-in, Duncan Jones clearly loves Warcraft and it shows through the attention to detail.
That was enough for me to enjoy the movie, but yeah, I didn't love it. It has many flaws, and I don't fault the reviewers at all. If I wasn't such a fan of high fantasy and nostalgic for Warcraft, I probably would have walked out early on.
>>70757146
haha, yeah, man..
>>70757041
you joke but Marvel style quippy likable characters would have done this movie wonders
one of the biggest problems with the human stuff early on is that none of them are interesting or likable enough to care about
>>70757158
well the important thing is you've found a way to feel superior to a group you personally dislike.
>>70757245
It was an observation not a comparison :^)
>>70757211
I think the film should have been primarily about the Orcs. The beginning could have had a Fellowship of the Ring type prologue that briefly explains the setting and how the Orcs became corrupt. Doing that would have made this film a solid 10/10.
>>70756636
Im suprised he has that many comsidering hes so autistic he needs women to cry around him so he knows what emotions he should be feeling

>>70757243
Admittedly, medivh is not supposed to be likable. You shouldnt be able to relate to him
>>70757378
Yeah, showing how they went from nomadic hunters that revered nature to a violent, demonically corrupted invasion force would be cool. Like if native americans were suddenly 8 feet tall, green and invaded the fledgling united states But warcraft has always been about multiple races, living in the same world, trying to steal the spot light from each other
>>70756720
DANCE OFF BRO YOU AND ME
>>70757243
Honestly I thought Lothar was okay in general throughout the whole thing but the only human who really stood out for me was Khadgar.
>>70759336
Could at least one character acknowledge that he looks like a stoner who got off his shift at Burger King? Seriously, he's the goofiest looking dork of all the humans.
Everything related to orcs was fucking 11/10, they simply nailed everything. Best orc movie ever.
Human side of the movie was kinda meh, but nothing THAT bad. It's a decent movie with SOME pacing issues. Actually reminded me a lot of second Planet of the Apes movie where apes and ape action totally carried the movie which lacked a likable human lead.
Speaking of action, it's gorgeous. Fuck, go see it, it's a decent fantasy movie with great action scenes and actual storyline. You will be entartained at least.

I believe your seeking a prequel
>>70757266

>>70756263
All things considered i think it was pretty good.
It's no LOTR on any level but it was above stuff like D&D, Narnia or the Hobbit.
Did a pretty good job handling the character arcs even though the supporting cast was not that good and i kind of liked the variations of art design.
I also liked the ending. It was over all pretty decent movie for someone that knows nothing about warcraft at least.

Would have been better if they diidn't cut that scene where Grom actually speaks to Orgrim and Durotan before they enter the portal
>>70763386
WHAT THE FUCK! What does he say?!
>>70763386
IS this concept art for the scene? give some context please
>>70763428
It was a small snipit from the leaked footage but Grom was basically explaining what was happening to Durotan and Orim (and the audience) and probably had a character moment or two.
But it was cut like half of the movie was because studios are greedy and need it pack as much screenings as possible.
I have a feeling Grom had a lines to say (along with Kargath and Deadeye) in the original cut, that's why you see the meverywhere
>>70763449
No its from the Lords of War character video for Warlords.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRnabRRi1ik
>>70762939
Kino?
so grom was noone at this point and only mattered in wod because his son went back in time
>>70763528
I definitely saw Grom and Kargath get in guldans way stopping him reaching lothar at the end, I thought that was cool, and i think Grom was going to kill his son before blackhand decided to shank him instead
>>70763580
that was pretty fucking epic man i hope they show this diude in the next film
>>70763756
Exactly they had moments but no speaking words and I know for a fact that had at least 1 scene where they speak
>>70760639
gul'dan's mak'gora with durotan was really cool
>>70756647
yeah hopefully the marketing for the sequel is improved.
>>70763660
What do you mean? if you read Rise of the Horde Grom is a very important character.
Not movie canon (i think) but Grom is the first Orc to accept Gul'Dans offer as 1 example
What this movie really needed was some heavy handed Christian allegories and symbolism. Movie was too shallow for me
>>70763971
oh, i mean in the movie, he doesn't do much
but in wod flashback hes the fucking boss
just figured he was a mid level dude at this time, at this TIME, though he becomes a badass later
So Carona is Medieval's daughter right? And then sends her into dangerous battles?
>>70759629

>>70764248
Movie only focuses on a few orc characters.
In the games Grom didn't come to Azeroth in the first war, but in the movie since Draenor is dying it makes sense for him to come over.
Originally he wasn't there in the second war either. Grom and his Warsong Clan stayed behind in Draenor until Ner'Zhul went to Azeroth.
This was after the second war was over and Orgrim had lost. Most orcs were in camps, like the Bleeding Hollow clan lead by Kilrogg Deadeye was the only clan that had evaded capture.

Might as well explain this post. For years /v/ has been infested with trolls who love to start fights by insulting the playerbase of any game. There are also Blizzard fanboys who hated the growing popularity Blizzard experienced and the additions to Warcraft lore. It is understandable since roughly 10 years ago Blizzard became more a corporation under Kotick interested in money. They hate Cgris Metzen the most for his lote changs.
So you have these trolls and these butthurt fanboys that may see the movie and enjoy it, but they will do everything possible to shit on it online.

Here's the cut scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ePGvdc2--E
Knowing this existed, it bugged the hell out of me that it was cut and he ended up not speaking at all. He had enough presence in the film that it felt like he should have something to say, especially given how somewhat iconic his character has become now. I could live with Kargath and Kilrogg not having any lines, but Grommash definitely deserved some, especially since they emphasized his casting a bit.
>>70763756
>i think Grom was going to kill his son before blackhand decided to shank him instead
I thought that was hilarious. As soon as they showed Grom was Callan's opponent, his fate was sealed. When going for the attack, Grom just parried his sword out of his hand instantly. I was ready to see Gorehowl thrust into his gut before Blackhand intervened.

I went with 6 friends, one of whom loved Warcraft, the rest of us having basic knowledge, and we unanimously decided it was the worst movie we'd ever seen in theaters and stood up as soon as we saw the logo appear at the end. Kept going too when we saw baby Moses in the river, at that point we just wanted to leave
>>70768916
Should've stayed in school that day.
no it wasn't, the movie structure sucked.
-No resolution whatsoever. Yes, films with sequels can still have some resolution and feel as though you have watched a completed movie.
-The movie's climax didn't mean anything. Durotan fought Guldan and forced him to use his magic to win, and some of the orcs muttered and groaned but they still followed him. Then the human commander had a duel with black hand and Guldan demanded he be killed and again the orcs muttered and groaned a little bit but they still follow Guldan as their leader.
What was the point of either of those things? hurr they mutterd in discontent a little bit.
-why did guldan need the guardian reciting an incantation in order to re-open the gate when the first time guldan was able to open the gate by himself?
-why did the human commander fly his griffon into the middle of an army of orcs when clearly there was not a single human left? That's fucking moronic. it's really stupid writing done in order to set up a duel between the human commander and black hand.
-didn't Durotan feel ANY debt of gratitude towards Guldan for saving his stillborn son's life? The movie didn't explore this at all. Literally as soon as Durotan encounters a human sorcerer who can use fell as a weakness, Durotan starts plotting how to betray Guldan.
- why were Guldan's warriors already hiding underground at the meeting place?
-why was the female orc who got captured constantly making "intense" faces? like there was sexual tension between her and some guy who killed her comrades and captured her instantly.
- why did the orcs accept her after she killed the human king when 1. she stabbed their king in the back rather than defeating him honourably 2. they know that she was an informant helping the humans 3. they could see her and the king talking before she stabbed him in the back
literally the worst movie I have even seen, I saw it for free and still feel like I want my money back

>>70769151
The really annoying thing is that it seemed like it had potential to make Guldan a really interesting character who is a true patriot to orc-kind but is using a power he doesn't truly understand or control. They only explored this when Guldan revived Durotan's baby however in the rest of the film he just seemed like a single-minded dickhead
>muh fell
I'm disappointed because it had potential to be better than it was.
>>70769289
when did it show someone else opening the gate other than guldan the first time the gate was opened?
>>70768353
gul'dans speech in that leaked footage was also much better than the one that made it into the movie, i wonder why they switched it
>>70769344

>>70769151

Everyone hates Gul'dan and his lot but he is still the top orc.
>why did guldan need the guardian reciting an incantation in order to re-open the gate when the first time guldan was able to open the gate by himself?
Gul'dan opened the portal with the help of Medivh, that has always been the case since WC1. Ner'zul is the only one who has been able to open portals on his own and even then he failed.

Like that one time where he backstabbed the entire horde by splitting it in the final moment searching for more personal power which led to the demise of the horde? Nah, Gul'dan has always been a dick head.

If medivh helped Guldan open the portal to begin with , then why was medivh shocked when he sees the green fell orcs in the woods?
Isn't it after he casts that spell that makes the fell-orcs start dying that he starts getting infected by fell?
>>70769539
what are you talking about?
Are you judging this movie by how good a piece of fiction it is or by how accurate it is to the plot of videogames?
If it's the latter fuck off to /v/ and talk about videogame plots there, dweeb.
>>70769743
I don't think they did the sargeras and medivh stuff any justice (if it's even meant to be canon in this, since it's not perfectly lining up at all). He's corrupted, lying etc.

>Isn't it after he casts that spell that makes the fell-orcs start dying that he starts getting infected by fell?
Oh no he's supposed to have been evil from the start.
I'm not exactly sure what Duncans intention is with the movie, but originally it isn't just "the fel".
Medivh is basically possessed by the settings equivalent of the devil.
Both struggling for control for the same body.
>>70769298
judging from your post I can tell you didn't play any of the games or at least you don't remember any of it
From the very beginning Guldan's motivation was simply MORE POWER, he was seduced by Sargeras or come other demon I don't remember the name.
>>70770384
Mannoroth, which later got ret conned into Sargeras's deus ex machina
>>70769743
You retard he said himself the Fel had been controlling him and he had opened the way without knowing.
Can anyone explain to me, how when Medvih goes to open the gate the first time, he transforms, and then in the exact next scene, he teleports back to where all the humans are and he looks normal. It literally shows him transforming in the scene right before. The movie never sets up if he has power to change his appearance or not, so it's just confusing as fuck tbqh senpai. I give this "film" a 5/10.

Grom was the enforcer that they sent around to the different clans to tell them they're creating the Horde. Join or mok'gora, and if you fought him, you'd die and he'd take your clan.
wait Grommash is in this movie?
Reading through some of the lore, did they fucking retcon much of the story from games 1-3 during WoW? Parts of the dranei and orc backstory is different from what I remember. And this movie is also far off (and doesn't even mention the grander entities in the universe at all).

It could have been worse I guess. Whether it's worse than the Hobbit I don't really know though.
The casting for this movie was horrid, as was the CGI director. No fucking idea why they picked that guy from Vikings to be Lothar, he fucking sucks.
>>70773792
From the top of my head the main retcons are
-Doomhammer being a Frostwolf instead of a Blackrock
-Fel magic making orcs turn green directly instead of them drinking Demon Blood
-Humans with guns in the first world
-Khadgar in the games was Medivh's apprentice
-Khadgar killed Medivh with a sword and got cursed into an old man and Lothar Gorona and the king were all present
-Gul'dan mind controlled Gorona and she killed the king not of her free will.
-Lothar's sister being the queen and Lothar having a son was made up for the movie
-Blackhand got stabbed in the back by Doomhammer who then became the Warchief. This is why he was called the betrayer in the game had nothing to do with him ratting out Durotan
-Gul'dan in the game was mind linked with Medivh when he died and went into a coma and woke up after Doomhammer had already finished is coupe.
-The Horde sacked Stormwind to the ground at the end of the first war and are the cannon winners.
Guys I know I'm late to the party but where do I watch the movie online?
It looks like there is a digital rip out there right now?
This question is more warcraft mmo lore in general, but if the orcs murked all of the Draenei in that big sacrifice to come to Azeroth, then how do the Draenei end up in Azeroth in any sort of number?
>>70774573
fel magic can also turn orcs green, doesn't have to be from demon blood
>>70774129
More thana neat detail there's a lot of thought, the tear that drps down his cheek the fucking hesitation, the way he and kargath stand in Guldans way when later Lothar is leaving, Grom literally is the best fucking Background character ever seen in film, period!
>>70774644
In game lore the Orcs didn't use them to open the portal but they did genocide most of their race and paved a giant highway with their bones and called it the path of glory.
A small fraction of the Draenei escaped by feeling in inter-dimensional magic ships or hiding in the swamps and then mutating into ugly creatures.

>>70774644
There weren't more than scant hundreds of Draenei at the portal. Lots of Draenei held out past the explosion. But then again they were only made up in WC3 and retconned in the face so hard they turned pretty in WoW.
>>70774573
>-Khadgar killed Medivh with a sword and got cursed into an old man and Lothar Gorona and the king were all present
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>70774727
My complaint is more that they just didn't mention the blood at all which is a big plot point in the later games. But in the first game I don't know if they ever mentioned it so this might just be being nit picky with later knowledge of the lore.
>>70769151
>why was the female orc who got captured constantly making "intense" faces? like there was sexual tension between her and some guy who killed her comrades and captured her instantly
Orc men simply can't compete with BIG HUMAN COCK
was i the only one who didn't like how they portrayed Khadgar? and then on top of that he somehow manages to beat Sargeras infested Medivh? what was that whole darkness-light thing anyway, they didn't explain shit and I even played all the RTS games.
Orgrim was fucked up tho, his whole story line makes no sense. I guess you can explain it all away with the fact that he's a retarded dumb proud Orc.
Lothar was horribly portrayed tho. Ragnar Lofbrok 2.0 basically, nothing of the actual proud Lion he was supposed to be.
>>70757033
some of my friends said the pace were very fast too. I don't understand this criticism, for me it was kind of slow at times even. If you know nothing about warcraft the story is very simple, there are evil orcs coming through the portal and humans want to stop them. How can 2 hours of this be too fast?
>>70774834
It's a nonissue. They could do a 20 second flash back and slip that right in. Blizz has learned their constant retcons can be good for twist delivery. They described Kil'Jaden presence when the orcs were first gifted.
>>70774882
Khadgar's actor seemed like he got lost, fell into a clean-cut costume and rolled onto the set. Probably the worst thing in the movie.
>>70774969
ask your friends the names of the various characters, i'd be amazed if they remembered half of them
>who was the green magic evil orc?
>who was the orc with the big hammer?
>who was durotan's wife?
>>70774573
>-Lothar's sister being the queen and Lothar having a son was made up for the movie
I did not mind that Lothar had a son, but the sister queen part rustles me.
IIRC Lothar was the last known descendant of the Arathi, who ruled the first human kingdom, and because of that it made it easier for him to get the high elves into the alliance since the high elves had a debt to that line.
Now since the queen is his sister, it downplays Lothars importance.

The portal didn't require a sacrifice as fuel in the games.
Turning the portal off was a struggle instead.

Medivh and Llane was fine, my only major issue with Anduin was when he kept lowering his voice for Dramatic Whispering Effect and I couldn't hear what he was saying clearly.
>>70774882
>>70774882
Naaru, some other light creature that is like titan level? Don't recall their mention in any of the RTS games, but apparently heavily involved with draenor shit. Presumably just the binary opposite/parallels for the heavy volume of good/evil entities.
>>70775186
ROC and TFT were vidyakino. First and only games that fully immersed you in a single player campaign. And if you weren't able to appreciate the campaign during the early 2000s, then I feel sorry for you.
>tfw that TFT opening with Illidan
It's what BTAS is to cartoons. The creme de la creme.
>>70766498
Can you not read? they SHOW HIM but he has not scenes where he speaks even though he does in cut footage
>>70756687
so is this movie good or bad. people keep praising it but then i see this
>>70776405
Its rough, apparently a lot of footage was pulled from it which makes it feel like its cut awkwardly, and as people have said in this thread its opening act is a little weak (the human part especially) but it picks up a lot by the second and third acts and ends nicely.
Some of the fight choregraphy is goof in places, but great in others. Its hard to judge as a whole. I feel like the production may have been hampered by lots of unnecessary editing and changes.
I actually enjoyed the first minute the most.
The opening music with the studio titles got me hyped, and spotting all the Blizz characters in their name/logo was cool.
Then you get to see the WC3 throwback in motherfucking Durotar.
I got hype lads.
>>70776405
Nowhere near LotR good, but a good bit better than the Hobbit
>>70776566
This movie at least knew how to pace its fucking battles. Goddamn Hackson.
>>70776566
but a good bit better than the Hobbit
i should hope so considering the hobbit was complete shit
>>70776508
That shot of Durotan in the opening was the best part of the movie. It was all downhill from there.
>>70776405
This moment is there for a brief second and if I wasn't browsing /tv daily i would not even notice. Special effects always look better on a big screen. Most of the time everything looked amazing.
Go and see for yourself. You're into:
>great action
>GOAT orcs
>some great on-screen magic
>>70756687
i thought this movie was going to be bad but this is horrendous
maybe i'll watch it
>>70776615
The Hobbit pisses me off so much. The trailer for the first one had me so hyped up. I loved the book as a child, its what got me into reading..
The reality hurt me.
Still like the soundtrack though.
>>70756687
what is that orc on the right doing
>>70776593
Naw. Not when the battle action turns into dancing footmen and goofy armor while green boulders charge them.
>>70776615
Yeah. I still didn't really like it, but it didn't seem like it was slapping me in the face.
>>70776728

>>70776720
>The last good thing on /tv/ were Hobbit hate threads
>>70776405
Miles ahead of Hobbit. If you like fantasy and know the orc characters you'll like it very much. It's a decent movie. Could be a great one.
>>70776817
>could have been.
>>70776801
I could have liked them if they had just cut down the action scenes by at least half of their runtime. I could even overlook the fan fiction.
The pacing and shit was awful because of it, especially Smaug not dying by the end of his own fucking title movie.
>>70776817
But only the orc characters make it good. The humans are goofy and stiff, and Medivh's story drags the movie down.
>>70763794
They will for sure. Bladefist and Hellscream were the ones standing there at the end near the portal.
>>70776879
We know, anon. We all could have liked it. We know.
>>70756263
>Holy Shit that was sweet.
No it wasn't. Went with my GF, we're both WoW veterans and wanted to see this movie.
It should be renamed to Exposition: The Movie. It wasn't just Act 1, 2, or 3, it was all of them. Characters physically move from one backdrop to another, then talk a little about themselves.
What happened to SHOWING the audience the story instead of telling? Khadgar, Garonna, Lothar, Medivh, and Llane all had too much dialogue in this movie. If Bowie Jr. was aiming to make the movie seem like a bunch of quests you pick up at a hub, he succeeded. Because that's how it all felt to me, one string of quest hub grinds.
>>70776914
I don't think humans were THAT bad, it's just that orcs portrayal and character arcs are so damn better. I like Ben Foster and thought he was really good as Medivh. Him and Khadgar were fine. It all kinda fell apart in the last act for me, this whole scene with the king at the end was kinda dumb.
F L O P
>>70777206
I liked Medivh, I don't know why his parts were getting so much hate. I think it was just confusing for people without game lore knowledge because they don't explain clearly enough that he was really fucked up until he starts bleeding green fire and growing horns.
>>70756263

>Both humans and Orcs talks in English through most of the movie until they talk to each others
>When they finally meet to talk and Garona translates them, Durotan speaks in Orcish while she translates in English
>But then as it's focuses on Durotan, he starts talking in English while Garona is still translating it for the Humans, except you can hear her speak Common
>Mfw
That's a very nice touch right there
>>70777322
I know the lore and it was still weird for me.
He was treating Khadgar like a usurping apprentice, but Khadgar isn't even his apprentice in the movie like he's supposed to be.
>>70777335
>movie just released in the US on Friday
>better not talk about it
Take a fucking lap
>>70777438
I think he was attempting to prevent Khadgar from learning too much and foiling his plans. Remember the scene where he burns Khadgar's notes?
>>70777438
This >>70777544
I also think he was basically starting to go insane at that point, if the demon taint wasn't evidence enough of his internal struggle.
>>70777544
>>70777438
Fel magic fucked up Medivh and he didn't want him to find out about it
>>70777614
Eh I guess, it just came off as awkward.
I was digging the avatar of Sargeras though.
>>70777206
They really were. Lothar was good, the king could act but looked goofy in costume, and Khadgar looked goofy and couldn't act. Medihv got jarring constantly taking things back to his tower
>>70769151
-No resolution whatsoever
They stopped the rest of the horde from coming through and saved all those prisoners. Now there will be an alliance of Human, Dwarf and Elf. An actual force strong enough to fight the horde. Because as they said many times, Stormwind cannot win alone.
-Durotan fought Guldan and Lothar vs Black Hand What was the point of either of those things?
Durotan was as good as dead. Him fighting Gul'Dan was him trying to stop the Fel. If Gul'Dan cheated, the orcs would not trust him anymore. THEY DON'T TRUST HIM ANYMORE
Lothar vs Black Hand shows that Durotan was right. And it was fucking boss.
>why did guldan need the guardian reciting an incantation
Figure this out on your own. it is pretty simple
>why did the human commander fly his griffon into the middle of an army of orcs
To get the king's body, you know his really good friend who is also the king. If there was anyone who could do it, it was Lothar.
>why did the orcs accept her after she killed the human king
Figure this out on your own. it is pretty simple
You are wanting explanations for magic. It is magic you don't have to explain shit.
