It's gonna make its budget back easy. It's only $100M while the shitty BvS had $250M. China alone will be enough to make back all of its budget. Then they'll give the sequels more of a budget to work with.

If you read any of the books from that time, there were certain tribes from the Orc side that wanted to make peace with the humans. They went to Azeroth to make a new home for themselves (or so they were told), not to have an endless war with another race. Humans turned out more durable than they though, and dragging out the war wasn't benefiting anyone.

The only questionable CGI in the movie, and Reptile IS an alien lizard monster. The shot where he joins with the statue and morphs into Human Reptile was very well done.

the cut is to show a better angle on the impact

First cut is to show incoming punch
Second cut is to fake impact without actually hitting anyone and make it more "dramatic" because fast flashing images are better right?

This is 4chan, where because someone know the word anatomy they're an expert on it, same with words like perspective.

It's quite funny to see people fail basic vanishing point perspectives while trying to sound like they know what they're talking about.

Though to be fair, this movie looks really fucking weird on shitty flash videos, but in the imax trailers it looks a lot better, which really confuses me. I was originally like "oh god it looks so jarring" but on the big screen it didn't.
>>
>>332182010
The good thing about that cut is how your eye follows the fist after the cut since your eye focuses either on the face or the fist before the cut.
But yeah I also prefer long takes when it comes to fight scenes, and to be fair, we haven't seen the full scene of this yet so we don't know how it will play out in the final movie.

for someone who only played Warcraft 3 and Frozen Throne, should I bother to watch this? I'm always torn on things like these whenever I don't know the source material
>>
>>332176221

Its definitely the most well intentioned and most enjoyable to watch.

I would argue that DOA is the perfect video game movie because the plot doesnt really make any sense and the only reason to watch it is for attractive girls doing things. And sometimes some fighting. which is exactly like the game.
>>
>>332183151
furries man

>>332183962
You're thinking of the DOAX games. The mainline DOA games are nothing but fighting.
>>
>>332177196
did they hire weta to do the props? looks good

After WC3 the story and atmosphere have already been altered so many time I've given up on trying to hold on to it. They can have it and do whatever they want to it.

I'll prob download and watch tho

>>332183419
I thought so too
>>
>>332184136
I think he meant it as the franchise.
The pretty girls are central, the fighting is secondary.
The fact that the DOAX offshoot exists only proves his point.
>>
>>332184187
I don't recall a single Warcraft game where a mage threw a lightning bolt or lightning based attack. That element was used exclusively as a "nature" based element. I guess lightning makes everything look cooler, fuck consistency.
>>
>>332184309

Yes, that's what I meant.

Its the reason why DOA threads are just waifu dumps instead of actual discussion of the mechanics.

This movie is going to flop so goddamn hard. It may ruin Blizzard a whole as well as Duncan Jones's career.

We may finally see the end of this turd of a company.

No one likes the Resident Evil movies? They don't follow the games, but they know what they are and they execute well on the concept. I understand the desire for a movie to be true to the game, but I also like when you get something new, almost a second continuity. RE Earth-1 and Earth-2.
>>
>>332184701
What did you miss about the bit where this is universal footing the bill?

Also you know, they did that inhouse and it was cutting edge technology at the time. This is bog standard stuff.

That part in the trailer is heavily edited. The orc shaman is casting the thunderstorm while khagdar throws an arcane blast at an orc and Idk what Medivh is casting.

Is this movie a good place to start?

also where dah dworfs at

I like how it's setup like a hero story where the good guys will triumph in the end.

Going to be funny to watch all the normies get confused when Medivh is the one who opens the portal, the good orcs all get murdered, stormwind gets sacked, and the king/main character of the movie gets killed by the supposed heroine of the movie.

In fact she's only getting close to Llane so she can kill him. Thus allowing the green orcs to sack stormwind.

Not that anon but this is a retarded statement.

Books are a lower cost of entry than games and can be largely experienced for free via the library. To say nothing of the fact that all high fantasy is influenced by Tolkien period.

We're talking about if the movie will do well. Not the importance or availability of a franchise. The sheer popularity of Warcraft throughout any of it's lifespan gives its movie a huge shot to do extremely well.

>>332188717
I literally never said that you retard. I said WoW was more well known/popular than LOTR was BEFORE it's movies came out. Thus giving it a good shot for this movie to do well.

But that's the entire point of her character. The entire point behind the green orcs.

Why would they change the lore in such a big way?
