It wasn't THAT bad
>>70766627
Pacing was. Well, it was in a rush wasn't it? Oh Look,it's a seed,no wait, a bud, no wait, now it's a spro...nope, it's a small twig...no, it's a bit bigger, now it's shade?
>>70766627
Yeah.. it was.
>really bad human character acting
>horribly fast pacing
a director's cut might actually be a decent flick, apparently they had to cut like 45min from the runtime and there's probably MUCH better pacing in those 45 missing minutes.
wont fix the bad acting though
Who's the superior green waifu?
It was GOOD.
>>70767537
>>70767489
Too much talking. Director should have asked them to say things differently. Slower maybe. Movie was rushed.
It felt like some one edited every cut scene from a wow game.
>>70767537
No stupid dollar store fangs with Gamora, but Paula Patton >>> Zoe any day.
>>70767640
it seems like early in development they were told they had a roughly 2.5 hour runtime, so they did that if a little longer
then some fuckass focus group said "no it has to be 2 hours!!111!!"

Studios are poisonous to what's shown, sometimes.
>>70768074
>sometimes
all the time
basically every movie ever made by a large studio had to be dumbed down for a larger audience and became worse as a result
Movie would have been shit even if it 30m longer.

they aren't wrong though, they're catering to general audiences which give them money
however i'm liking how rotten tomatoes is actually having a noticeable effect on ticket sales these days, people are more cautious movie goers and will wait for the RT Score. If this trend continues studios might actually have to make GOOD movies to get money

>>70769367
I hope they at least try. At the very least Try. But with people like Amy Pascal lying around, it'll be a while.
I'm amazed by the terrible acting of Khadgar, the absolute cheesiness of some deaths/emotion,the fight at the end that lasted 10 seconds with the good ol between the legs, and the just god awful acting of humans. The orcs did everything okay except mild cheesiness and downplaying the opinions of the orcs.
Fire Khadgar, bring in shamans, make it rated-R, get rid of Llane's fucking helmet, and stop being bad.
:/
2/10 movie, just awful
>>70766627
I'd venture so far as to say it was fucking amazing.
Those tribal drums coming in at the opening were so fucking satisfying. I'll admit the pacing was pretty shit (the opening act was Exposition Central, and pretty much everything up to and includingLothar's kid's deathfelt kinda clunky and mishandled), but holy fuck when it finds it's footing near the end of the second act, I was fucking wide-eyed smiling. Durotan fighting Guldan, that final battle where humans are fighting orcs, it was all just such perfectly executed fantasy that I couldn't help but love it.
It did feel like it was sequelbaiting, especially with the opening and the ending with the floating baby (I've heard his name is Thrall or something?). The movie should have tried to focus more on the right then, I think, tell a self-contained story that could then be expanded upon.
Man, though...when shit worked it worked like a motherfucker. Kinda like how I felt about BvS, except I had no previous attachment to the source so I had less expectations. Plus, more stuff worked here.
Also, the action in the Orc Fights was fucking BRUTAL. Hard to believe a lot of that ended up being PG-13.
>>70773836
>(I've heard his name is Thrall or something?)
Also, I read your points. Glad you share my opinions, despite never being a fan of Warcraft.
Did you know Thrall is one of the most well written characters in Warcraft? His entire arc is a godamn Jesus-esque pilgrimage throughout the world and his tribe.
So get excited for a sequel. If you loved the shit in this movie, you're gonna love the next ones.
Other than Llane's actor, Draka's death, and the final Blackhand fight I thought it was good. The first encounter with the orcs in the woods and the Durotan vs. Gul'dan fights in particular were really good.
>>70766627
/tv/ will hate it anyway, just because.
so are Ner'zhul and Grom in this movie?
>>70774077
Grom is in the background of a few scenes and Ner'zhul isn't in it at all.
>>70773935
Well, I'm fuckin' hype. I really don't see how the critics were so off-base here.
I partially blame it on being a Video Game adaptation (doomed to fail). Also the Lothar/Garona romance made me want to rip someone's eyes out.
>>70766627
>stormwind is burning in the poster
>never burns in the movie
>>70774054
>Guldan taking off his cloak and revealing those crazy ass fucking bones
>Durotan breaking off one of the bones
>Guldan using that Fel magic and ripping out his fucking soul
I was hype literally the entire time and I didn't even care much about Warcraft before this.
>>70774124
also, in the upcoming sequels, here are the arcs you're hopefully going to get
>a paladin's fall from grace, in an attempt to save the world he loses his soul.
>three races of old and new joining forces, putting aside differences to save the world from a demonic alien threat
>the orcs, led by thrall, travelling through distant lands in order to seek out a destiny. throughout their journey, they try to free themselves from bloodlust against humans and their morals conflicting with their tribal traditions
i seriously hope they dont fuck this up. i just wish.
>>70774116
who was the skull-mask Orc from the trailer? I assumed it was Nerzhul
>>70774326
Just a random Laughing Skull orc. There are dozens of random orcs you see with similar masks.
>It wasn't THAT bad
Are we gonna rationalize like this for every shit movie?
Look, Warcraft geeks, I know you want to like this movie because it has Orcs. But don't settle for piss-poor pacing and melodrama just because it has Orcs in it.
This is not videokino and it's not the dawn of a new trend. Try cracking $100 million domestic then we'll talk.
>>70774195
>Stormwind in exterior shots
>Never see Stormwind much outside the throne room, war room and dungeon
Nice world building, chumps.
>>70773836
My thoughts exactly. It's not a Fury Road but it's not BvS either. Hyped as fuck for sequel, chinabros will save it.
With a 32 at Metacritic, I can say I expected way worse. Movie felt too rushed and the acting wasn't very good, though.
>>70774483
This along with the retcons are my biggest gripe s.
The first act and its exposition felt so goddamn rushed I was worried the gf wouldnt be able to follow along.
Luckily she isnt a moron so she was able to keep up. She was still shaky on Medivhs motivations though.
I wasnt about to explain Sargeras, Aegwynn and all that to her on the drive home so I just bought a copy of the Last Guardian instead.
oldschool wow player here. dropped a while after cata. just now trying WoD
Its good eye candy, but the largest problem is that this is clearly made for fans. Pacing really is shitty. The score is half-assed too, which is really sad. I had expected more.
The closest thing i can compare this to is anime movies that are hodge podge versions of a tv series that normally is 20-30 episodes long. Theres too many assumptions made, shoe-horned relations and motivations, lack of supporting complimentary sub-story arcs...
I cant say that I wasnt smiling at certain parts. Initial Durotan/Draka dialogue was enjoyable. To be quite honest, I could have very much enjoyed the movie if the humans were a VERY small sub-element and this was entirely about the orcs.
I seriously doubt the directors cut with an additional..what..20? 30 minutes? is going to make up for this. If i were more critical, I'd say this felt like Warcraft the Fanfiction The Movie.
>>70767082
Take your pills.
How many fucking sequels until arthas? And did this shit flop?
Aren't thrall and arthas in the same era? But then I thought Lothar was like a legendary ancient king
>>70776225
Lothar died in the Second War, well before Arthas and Thrall's time.
I'm not a warcraft player, so I went in with low expectations. It wasn't good, but it wasn't any worse than any of the Marvel films lately.
>>70768345
This. Also better than Jackson's Hobbit movies with their copy paste cgi. How the fuck did it get a lower score than those movies? Was it the stigma of being a videogame nerd movie?
>>70776528
I wholeheartedly believe that it being based on a Video Game singlehandedly killed this movie.
>>70776809
It doesn't help, especially with the track record of video game based movies and the public's perception of WoW and it's fanbase.
Jones kept the somewhat cartoonish look from Warcraft when designing the Alliance, to his credit. To everyone else who has never played WoW or Warcraft, which would be 99% of the RT critics, it probably looked out of place and cheesy.
I think that was the movie's greatest failure- people would see it without understanding the context of what they were watching.
>>70777079
That's true.
I really only played a little WoW, took it like a week to download on my computer for some reason but it was pretty hype for the short time I did play it. I realized a little while ago that I fucking hate playing MMORPGs though. Have to devote too much time and effort, both of which I plum don't have.
>>70777370
That is the biggest failure of MMOs, the grind. At least with WoW vanilla and TBC they used lore and a changing storyline to make it interesting.
>>70766627
>>70767082
first 30 minutes has bad pacing but its an ok movie.
You know what, I'm just sad that this movie got bombed to hell in RT. Right now all fantasy movies - comic books, videogames or whatever high fantasy movie will always be compared to marvel quipshits for it to succeed. it has to :
a) light hearted
b) quippy
c) no heavy intellectual themes
or it will deemed not fun by the masses. BvS has its flaws but overall was a good movie, can't wait for Director's cut (i wish to see Snyder's 4 hour cut though) and Warcraft although has some serious pacing issues in the first 30 minutes is an overall enjoyable movie. but no, its deemed unfun and bad since it did not adhere to marvel's quipshit
fuck this shit. there's no variety in movies anymore today. if LoTR was shown today it would get destroyed in RT as well
>>70777506
MORE WORK?
>>70777455
I think Blizzard's got good ideas but doesn't know how to use them.
I mean, take Overmeme for example. A friend recently pointed out to me that the lore in that is fucking spectacular, but in-game you really don't get much beyond "colorful powered killers kill each other in battles of 6v6".
Not that there's anything wrong with that (hey TF2 survived off the exact same thing) but it feels like Overwatch has an insane amount of potential as a standalone story piece (as evidenced by the shorts.
If they'd just put a damn singleplayer/open-world mode in there...
I wouldn't say it was good but it was pretty comfy to watch once. Saw it with a friend and we had a good time.
>>70777751
I haven't played Overwatch so the story is lost on me, but if the game is a MOBA (is it?) then lore really isn't that important, at least not as important as it would be for an mmo.
>>70778058
It's not a MOBA. It's 90% team based shooter with like 10% ASSFAGGOTS elements.
>>70778058
I woulsn't go so far as to call it a MOBA in the traditional sense, it's literally just a TF2 clone with better characters that all have an "ultimate" ability. They have cooldown abilities too, but beyond that it's straight TF2.
The story is actually really deep for this kind of game though, despite it mostly being doled out through the shorts, comics, and other media.
Fascinating stuff there, prime potential for a kid's movie.
>>70778096
>10% ASSFAGGOTS elements.
kek, why would lore matter in a team based FPS anyways? Gameplay is the main issue there.
>>70778275
Ultimately it doesn't but a little fluff is nice. The characters in game will occasionally talk to each other so it helps understand the dialogue a little more.
>>70778275
And the gameplay's fucking great in this.
I'm just saying, they have a great world they're completely wasting.
>>70778226
I doubt a movie will happen after Warcraft's box office returns. Warcraft was easily Blizzards best IP, maybe Starcraft could be turned into a movie, or Diablo, but Blizzard probably is temporarily turned off after Warcraft's poor performance.
>>70778352
Well, maybe they will turn it into an MMO after WoW finally crashes.
>>70778407
That would be backwards. It started as an MMO, Project Titan. When it didn't pan out they took the concepts and assets and decided to make this.
>>70774596
>It was confusing to normies so I bought this thing
Blizzard has won
>>70778450
Huh, I remember hearing about Titan being Wow's successor, I didn't know that it became Overwatch. Neat, thanks anon.
If the fanbase grows enough they may go back and complete it. Wow wouldn't have been made without the foundation Warcraft 1-3 laid first.
>>70778494
Can't blame Blizz for catering to normies for shekels desu
>>70766627
It is like the Speed Racer Movie to me. I think it is visually fantastic and great fun.
I thoroughly enjoyed the movie.
Some parts are not perfect, but the imperfections are minor.
I've never touched Warcraft in my life. The movie was easy to follow but was shallow as hell. The movie never explains anything about the world but expected you to care. It was like a watching a movie that relied on a deep understanding of the history of Liberia.
I'm almost glad that the plot of cliché fantasy, because otherwise i wouldn't have been able to follow it at all.
>>70770511
holy shit his hand clipped through his head. This is videogame cutscene bad. Is there a lot of bad scenes like this?
>>70778616

What? There isn't a campaign. Are you just lying?

I genuinely enjoyed this movie. Not a masterpiece by any means.

Oh my, that totally validates your point and makes this obvious piece of trash an excellent film automatically. You found the loophole, you fantastic person.
I thought this joke of a movie was indefensible garbage, but let's say it was good because of the peer pressure. What a great film, would buy on bluray.
>>70781378

Such unique opinions, you totally fit in here by going against the flow. I like you, let's make out.
>>70781476
All the inconsistencies with the lore irritated the shit out of my autism, but overall it was entertaining I guess. Most of the acting was total dogshit though and the LotharxGarona thing was so fucking forced it hurt.
Like Medivh never hits Khadgar with a spell that makes him old, Durotan and his waifu don't die in exile, Doomhammer doesn't smash Blackhand's shit who instead becomes some goofy half demon thing, and a bunch of other stuff.

Third War. Blood elves are what remains of the high elves after they were slaughtered and their city destroyed when Arthas came to town, so he could utilise the powers of the Sunwell to bring back Kel'thuzad as a proper lich. The Second War really was just an extension of the first one, where the orcs continued their invasion, but this time against the Alliance of Lordaeron instead of just the Kingdom of Stormwind.
>Elves and Dwarfs in the movie

They're not like LOTR elves. Warcraft elves have a crippling addiction to magic.
Never played any Warcraft, so I couldn't give a crap about lore, but thought this movie was the best fantasy movie since LOTR. Granted, that's not saying much, and it's nowhere near as good as LOTR, but it's a decent flick.

I'd like to see Saoirse Ronan play Jaina. They'd need like some young blonde guy who's kinda bulky to play Arthas, but also at least can pull off sinister for when he turns into the Lich King, maybe something like Tom Felton if he bulked up. Sean Bean as Uther. Max von Sydow as King Terenas. Anne Hathaway (with my heart) as Sylvanas Windrunner. Tobey Maguire as Kel'thuzad. Charles Dance as Antonidas. Harry Lloyd as Kael'thas Sunstrider. Someone outwardly sinister as Mal'ganis, I was thinking like Jake Gyllenhaal but he's a bit too understated with his sinister, also doesn't have the right voice, maybe Ron Perlman. Ron Perlman as Archimonde if not Mal'ganis. Ron Perlman also for the other dreadlords.

I think that all the true fantasy fans will enjoy Warcraft. Duncan Jones has proven himself quite adept, time and time again, and putting out exciting films.

haven't true fantasy fans seen everything on display in warcraft done better?
>>70784133
god dammit, I wait like 45 minutes for a reply to my joke, and it's a serious post
well played
>>70784183
Yes.
>>70784201
lol wtf
>>70784133
That's terrible casting.
>>70766627
>>70767082
First act had some boring introductions of characters.
Second act was better, third act and the finale were great. Samwise Gamgee-level material right there from Garona.
>>70773935
>His entire arc is a godamn Jesus-esque pilgrimage throughout the world and his tribe.
Moses-esque, actually.
Down to becoming prideful and ultimately falling from grace.
Pacing was too fast
Acting quality was all across the board
Retcons on established lore that's over 2 decades old
A couple shitty camera switches probably due to cut content.
I went into the movie not believing the hype and I was still a bit disappointed.
>>70781269

Only for dumb ameritards listening to meme critics on the Internet.
The normal people in the rest of the world loved it.
>>70784332
Sure, it can't possibly be a terrible movie because some critic said so. Were you born like this?
The guy who played Medivh did better than I thought he would.
>>70778940
what are you talking about?
i just checked the webm like 3 times and nowhere do i notice clipping
>>70766627
This is /tv/
We hate and love the same product whenever it suits us, or even at the same time.
What are you even trying to achieve?
>>70784371
After the neck is snapped, the head falls backwards and down through the orc's hand.
>>70784418
no it doesnt?
his head moves forward and kilrogg opens his hand so it can fall down
>>70784417
>We hate and love the same product whenever it suits us, or even at the same time.
No wonder why they call this forum "random" XD
>>70784371
orc picks up human with thumb and middle finger
index finger clips through human's neck
>>70784417
>We
fuck off faggot
>Lothar is a strong and highly charismatic leader, capable of commanding attention and radiating determination and conviction to those serving under him. Though most often appearing emotionless he is deeply passionate about his friends and countrymen

>Acts like a arrogant immature teenager until near the end of the movie
What the fuck did they do to Anduin Lothar?
>>70784572
pretty small thing to notice, I still can't even see it
surprised more people aren't talking about how the dude goes limp and stops screaming BEFORE the big dude turns his neck into a straw
>>70771255
>>70781085
How aboutt he orc on the right whose cheering instead of fighting even though the humans are standing right in front of him.
>>70784572
it doesnt clip he sqishes his neck
>>70784618
we never do meet Lothar in game to find out his real personality
we only get recounts from other characters, most of who owe their life to Lothar
so it makes sense they would describe him as a flawless champion who never faltered
>The CGI orcs were more likeable than the humans
>The CGI orcs had better acting than the humans
>Felt sorry for Durotan being soulsucked by Guldan
>Couldn't give 2 shits about Lothar's son(who was made for the movie) dying
>>70784618
we got ragnar thats what happened
>>70784845
Right after that, the hand clips right through his head.
>>70784930
He is the fucking commander of Stormwinds army and probably a true patriot, they really didnt need to create a son to him to make him sad about orcs invading and killing his countrymen.
>>70784845
Watch the orc's index finger.
>>70785028
it is the smallest most minute detail for one fucking frame you autist shut the fuck up
>>70777751
The only reason OW has so much lore is because the whole game is scraped together from years and years of work on Titan. OW is probably a glimpse into the universe that Titan would've taken place in
>>70785110
Eat shit, it looks terrible.
>>70785028
I honestly don't see it. I'm trying really hard. Either way, if I have to pause a movie, zoom in, and watch it frame by frame to see a finger clip in literally one frame, I don't care.
You're entitled to your own opinions. If that kinda thing ruins a movie for you, I feel super bad for you.
>>70784968
He blamed Medivh for his sons death anyways.
By the way I'd like to point out Lothar in the movie is too young to have a son that old.
>>70785245
Well Travis Fimmel is 36 years old, so we can imagine that he got a son when he was around 18 or 20 and his son didnt look much older than 18 at least to me.
>>70785370
Except the actor playing his son is 23 turning 24 this year.
>>70771090
must be pretty salty
>>70785464
because every character has to be the exact same age as the actor playing him
>>70766627
Are there any lore reasons for why this specific orc is so sexy?
>>70785236
>I honestly don't see it.
Get glasses you goddamn sycophant. You're either getting paid in cents or in hipster points. Either way you're an embarrassment.
>>70785572
medivh fucked her mom
>>70785572
Half breed.Draka is hotter
>>70785572
she's half orc half dranei
>>70785634
I don't see it either
and you faggots going "muh sheeels" every time someone points out something good about the film is getting annoying
>>70785572
Originally she was supposed to be half orc half human.
But then Blizzard retconned her into being half draenei instead of human.
But for whatever fucking reason didn't bother actually giving her any of the draeneis physical traits such as blue skin or horns.
Some backgrounds didn't blend well with the with the actors and sometimes even the orcs looks like they were in front of a green screen.
The orc's development was alright but the humans were too rushed, like i don't really know about their world, their history, etc
Also the design of the armors was a bit cartoony and shiny, that plus the cgi backgrounds make it feel too artificial compared to the design of the orcs.
Lore aside the plot was over-complicated with references to a greater story for the next movies. The orcs were the best part and have the best characters, the humans characters were boring and i couldn't empathise with any of them.
I tried to like it. Maybe next one (if there is one) will be better.
>>70766627
honestly It was pretty mediocre. The only thing it has for itself is it's Warcraft. You remove that and you're left with a film with big pacing issues, a bad story and terrible actors.
>>70784930
Fucking this. Also dwarfs and elfs cameos just beacuse muh fantasy world.
>>70785550
Lothar didn't even have a son until this movie.
If you are going add something like that to the main character of the movie it's a pretty good idea to have the actor playing his son to not be so fucking old.
>>70785817
There was nothing wrong with the story itself, it's just the pacing and some of the acting sucked ass.
>>70784891
>we never do meet Lothar in game to find out his real personality
Eh, he's one of the few characters you hear from in warcraft 1 and 2.
The warcraft manual is told through Garonas and Lothars perspectives, they do recount historical events they weren't there for though.
>>70777518
the 4 hour cut of BvS isn't gonna be good lad. The three hour version will probably be the best version of the film. He said the 4 hour cut was just an assembly cut. When they combined all the footage they filmed it was 4 hours without any editing or cutting. They trimmed it down to 3 hours, afterwards.
>>70784930
>>Felt sorry for Durotan being soulsucked by Guldan
The character moments of Durotan were nice.
Shame they just occured in the constrictions of the movie.
I appreciated his frustration and confusion when adressing king Llane. Being used to war solving everything, yet knowing something has to be done differently.
>>70777518
No. LOTR were solid movies, well filmed and well built, able to be appreciated by everyone. On a cinematographic standpoint Warcraft is terrible. It was always going to bomb with non-Wacraft fans.
>>70766627
Did anyone else get the Dungeons and Dragons movie vibe from this movie? I thought DnD was excellent. Perfect ending too when they use the ruby to transport to another plane to meet Snails.
>>70785935
im saying that his sons age in the movie is independent of the actors age
besides he is pretty baby faced, id accept the fact that he was 18 years old or whatever
It is poorly paced, but despite that, it is fairly fun in a cheesy 80's and 90's fantasy fashion. I'm guessing the whole cheesines of it is among main reasons why people don't necessarily like it.
It actually reminded me a bit of series like Xena and Hercules.
>Movie never shows how Guldan rose to power with his evil magic
>Medivh's betrayal is never explained-literally no mention of sargeras whatsoever in the movie
>Lothar now has a son, whoops now he's dead
>Garona had a love interest to the King
>Movie shows her interested in Lothar instead
>Doesn't show orcs invade stormwind the first time and fail
>Doesn't show orcs invade stormwind a second time and succeed
>DOES show King Llane get killed by Garona but that was supposed to happen when stormwind falls not when the dark portal was shut down
Movie plot is a giant clusterfuck
Wait so what endings are Canon in WC1 and 2?
>>70786189
I just realized how pointless that meeting was, not only did the brown orcs never help the humans defeat guldan but the humans never helped the brown orcs with....uh what was it they wanted again?
Oh and then a good chunk of everyone died from medivhs lightning shit
Why the fuck did they make Alodi in the cube a woman when they could have just as easily had the woman be Aegwynn and it would have made just as much sense.
Garona went from Half-Orc Half-Human
to retcon Half-Orc Half-Draenei,
to retcon Half-Orc Half-Human AGAIN
Did metzen REALLY have any input in this movie at all?
Actually, it was fucking horrible. There was never any climax. You never really cared about any of the characters. They didn't explain half the shit in the movie and just expected you to know what all this important shit was, etc.
>hurr durr, I'll duel this other Wizard Orc, and if I die no one will follow him.
>dies
>Orcs start to leave
>"don't"
>"okay"
It was like WTF was the point of any of that?
Same shit happened when the pussy king got shanked. Even the last duel in the movie was crap. It lasted like 5 seconds after being hyped up for like half the movie.
>>70786970
Pretty sure she told lothar she's half draenei
>>70786883
>Wc1 ending
Kingdom of Azeroth falls, King Llane dies, Stormwind is sacked, Lothar, the Queen, the Prince and Azerothian refugees flee north to Lordaeron and other kingdoms.
>wc2 ending
The horde is defeated and put into camps with the exception of Kilrogg and the Bleeding Hollow clan who evade capture. The Dark Portal is destroyed, but the rift remains.
Stromgarde and Gilneas leave the alliance because they think the camps should be of the death variety, not the internment variety, or that may be later, not entirely sure.
>>70787001
Yeah but then we find out shes fucking Medivhs daughter. Which is ANOTHER retcon from being his fucking lover.
>>70786854
you got it in one. I could barely understand any of the characters motives are what I was supposed to be feeling or what was going on in general. Pile of steaming crap that epitomises modern summer blockbusters.
>that ending
holy shit, that was absolutely awful.
Also we need to wait for another boring movie before we can get wc3
>Movie never explains how Guldan rose to power and where he got his evil magic from
>Movie never explains why Medivh betrayed the humans
>No showing mention or hint of the burning legion kil jaeden or sargeras in the movie
>>70787158
kek The orcs look so good but thrall looks like fucking ass. What the hell
>>70787171
>I missed where Medivh turns into Sargeras
>>70786993
This, i was expecting something to happen but all i get were a collage of scenes with awkward transitions and some boring battles.
>>70787171
>they dont need to
>yes it did
>stupid to include them in the first movie
>Garona had a love interest in the King
>Movie had her love Lothar instead
Ah, now imagine how more dramatic it would have been for her to kill the person she loved.
>>70787171
b-but i'm sure the sequel will explain it because this is just a setting for the WCU r-right guys?
