WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T YOU SEE IT /tv/?!!! The CGI was great, the action was amazing, the world was spectacular, and yet NONE of you went to see it?!!! And now that it's flopped, BECAUSE OF YOU, we won't see a third movie with the third war and the Rise of the Lich King!!!

my nephew wanted to see this so I took him and walked out way happier than I had expected.
I honestly thought it'd be a shit show but it was surprisingly good. Still wish I actually played Warcraft as a kid so that I had more background knowledge but I still enjoyed it.
I'll legit be sad if there isn't a sequel that shows some orc and human baby making after she clears her name.

I saw it again today for Father's day. It was still good, but it was better in imax. The sound is supergood. I hope they make wc2 with trolls ogres zeppelin subs etc.

Wc2 was a good game
>>
Movie was 3/5. Could have been worse but could have been better if had more humor and was more lighthearted considering that's what all Blizzard stuff is. I think there was like a handful of comments that were snicker worthy and the rest they took very seriously. Didn't know most of the characters, so dont know if they're from the game or not. Felt like what LOTR would look if it was done in China by China.

Downloaded the telecine and saw it at home. I'm a pretty big Warcraft fan, but it was honestly not better than 4/10. The plot is not good enough for a movie, honestly. The large number of characters also weakens the movie. Again, these things are fine for a video game where the plot and the characters are a way to get you more engaged in the gameplay, but it falls flat in a movie.

Better than capeshit, sure, but that's not really much of an accomplishment.

breaking even or a tiny profit is a huge risk to a studio. a risk they wont take again.

Ok, let's not go overboard. Better than expected? Sure. But it was too geeky for a mainstream audience. Doesn't have the appeal GoT does. I'm content if there is or isn't a sequel. It was good, but I'll probably never watch it again.

Saw it last night. Was expecting to be disappointed, but was pleasantly surprised it wasn't total shit.

Cons:
>The scenes jumped around way too much, tries to give as much exposition as possible
>The script was, for the most part, terrible. Dialogue was often corny as hell
>"you'll always have a place here" to the half orc they only just met.
>dalaran already floating

Pros
>CGI was (for the most part) pretty good. Especially on primary orc characters
>Didn't completely butcher the lore. Most changes made to make sense within film instead of game setting.

When they start showing the fall of Arthus and rise of the Lich king, I'll be really hyped. The WC3 story is my favourite of the universe.

The second movie will probably be about second war and story from Tides of Darkness. There won't be Arthas or the scourge, yet. It will probably be about defeating Guldan and Lothar dying.

Which version of Lothar's death will they use? I say ambush because that would make for a much more epic ending for him, after all the stunts he pulled so far
>>
>>70958159
$160 million to make, Warcraft needs to earn $450 million or more to break even. ....
but if it cost $160 mill how does it need $450 mill to break even who does these maths even???
>>
>>70958221
If they were unwilling to have the Horde sack Stormwind for an ending to the first movie, how would you expect them to unceremoniously ambush Lothar under a banner of truce? Duncan has no balls.

They will likely use the new canon of him "dying in honorable combat" or not dying at all.
>>
>>70957211
China eats that crap like it's nothing. Not surprising since they literally eat gutter oil over there
>>
>>70958257

They made "dying in honorable combat" option hardly believable, I mean the guy was wrecking everyone in this movie without breaking a sweat

160mil is just production budget. Marketing budget can go up to 100mil in some cases. Probably less than that with Warcraft. From a studio point of view, you wouldn't want to risk this much for less than 50% profit.

Hi, those 160 million dollars for a movie budget didnt fell from the sky!

They should have fucking start the series with Arthas plotline and start with a bang. Maybe later make prequels about this shit. Literally no one beside China care about some minor characters that appeared in the first 2 wars. Khadgar didn't even appear in Warcraft 2.


Shit, they should have made entire movie about Uther and Arthas fighting eveil for the entire first movie, only to crush the viewers by making Arthas turn evil in the sequel.

>>70958355
What were the bulk of the costs of production? Probably the CGI more than anything. The rewrite also cost them too, but there's no telling how much.

I think a sequel would cost considerably less. They have their animation kit now, and won't have to develop another. They can use assets from the first to save time and money. If they get Duncan or another competent writer, they won't need a rewrite.

I can't imagine anyone working on the film expected it to gross over half a billion dollars, and they couldn't have sunk much into marketing. It was hardly marketed. They relied on word of mouth, which has obviously failed. I doubt we'll get a sequel, but I'm saying that it would be possible to do it better and for less next time.

You guys don't actually think a movie that's this heavy on CG is going to have literally no flaws in that CG, right? Even 3D animated movies have animation mistakes these days, so it's no surprise that a movie that has this much CG has a few slip ups here and there.

My normie af girlfriend was actually blown away by the CG - it surprised me, because while i thought the CG was pretty good, she was raving on about how she literally couldn't tell the difference.

The movie wasnt as bad as everyone made it out to be.

It had some flaws mainly in the acting from the human actors and the way the plot progressed but I think it was still enjoyable, I wonder if those 40 minutes they cut out would have made a difference.

It's a shame because without the support from the many who have never played warcraft and arnt fans of it, the movie cant make that big a profit and it wasnt done in a way that could really draw that crowd in and satisfy them.

I think that starting from wc3 would have been much better like some others said, Arthas storyline is much better.

Maybe this would have been better done as a lower budget anime? that they could have just sold online for people to watch, but theres always pirating.
