How badly did Bowie's son fuck up?
I liked Moon, so im hoping this will be at least decent.
>>338116664
>Generic orcs join with humans story
Are you literally a retard?
>>338116664
>shit OP
>shitpost
>>338116923
Its literally "muh noble savages"
>>338116865
Moon was fucking great, anon
I need that picture where everything looks like bad photoshop on some stairs, you know the one
>>338117045
If Terrence Malick can get nominated for an Oscar with noble savages in his movie then I don't think Blizzard is too worried
>>338117045
No it's not you dumb ass. Only a small handful of the orcs are "noble" the rest are just savages.
Stop trying to force this shit. The movie will fail anyway with the critics, whether or not it will make the money back is anyone's guess.
>>338116664
>Bowie's wife's son
le lolfix
>>338116664
the decision to use real actors for the humans is still fucking mind boggling to me
they look so incredibly out of place and goofy.
>>338116664
it's going to be bad isnt it
How long was this garbage looking movie even in production for? I just remember the rumors of a Warcraft movie being made back in the late 2000's from gaming magazines.
>>338117279
The wife's son meme has gone too far
>>338116664
Nobody ever expected this to have any artistic merit, plebs are going to eat the shit up anyway like they always do
So who wants to predict how many digits the Rotten Tomato score will have?4% splat
>>338117936
Being a pleb is fun though.
Holy shit, that really does look like some full motion video shit you see on some Sega cd game.
>>338118114
good goy
>>338116664
>CGI from 30 years ago
Are you just shitposting now? Since when did CGI in 1986 look like that?
This movie sounded like a bad idea when i first saw the trailer.
GO SEE THE MOVIE AND GET WORLD OF WARCRAFT FOR FREE!
>yfw the movie sucks so fucking bad no one will play the game even for free
>>338118438
he's a fucking faggot
>>338118438
It looks just as much like an out of place cartoon as it did back then
Who's idea was this again?
>>338117936
source on that image?
>>338116664
>CGI from 1986
It looks like a shit movie you don't have to go stretching your comparisons to unbelievable and frankly retarded levels to prove that OP. Everyone smarter than an average 12 year old knows it will be shit.
Stop being such a little insecure faggot about your "superior" taste in things.
>>338118847
There is no way that's real
>>338117353
But how else will they pay large salaries to the actors.
>>338118894
it looks bad tho
Will this be "So bad it's good" tier?
>>338118847
Holy shit that just looks awful. The Blizzard CG wizards are behind this???
>>338116865
>>338117054
My niggas.
>>338119148
>The Blizzard CG wizards are behind this???
No they are not IIRC.
>>338118847
THOSE STEPS LOOK PLASTIC AS FUCK HOLY SHIT
YOU CAN SEE THE ACTORS OUTLINES AGAINST THE SCREEN
THOSE DRAPES LOOK LIKE THEY WERE RIPPED STRAIGHT FROM WC3 CG
FUCK AAAAHAHAHAHAHA
>>338118847
That is some Phantom Menace tier CGI. Is there any way this won't end up being a total train-wreck?
>>338116664
>>338118847
I don't understand how Blizzard makes such amazing CGI trailers and movies, and how Legion's new animations and camera work looks so good, but this can look so, so fucking bad.
>taking photos from a compressed youtube video that's not even in 1080p
I mean I get it OP. You dislike Warcraft. But it's just coming off as desperate.
>>338119439
I don't think its blizzard doing the CGI?
Isn't it ILM?
>>338116664
why did they decide to have so many orcs if the cgi is that bad
>>338119750
Why couldn't have Blizzard just made a CGI movie?
>>338117661
seems about right from the look of it
>>338119439
because they're including real people in the CGI
You will always be able to identify real people in CGI and it'll make everything else look uncanny as fuck.
>>338118438
pretty cool that they decided to use in game footage in the movie
>>338119836
Would have made too much sense i guess.
Integrating live action with it was a huge mistake.
>>338119836
You guys remember the CGI Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within movie?
That shit looked better than this garbage.
>>338119978
It also almost killed Squaresoft. It was one of their major reasons for the Enix merger.
>>338119957
im guessing it's beowulfs fault
Bowie's son is a disgrace
>>338120031
But Beowulf tried to be realer than real life, an animated blizzard movie would have been stylized in their art style.
>>338117194
They rewrote a ton of shit for the movie.
Orgrim is a Frostwolf, Dalaran is already flying, Garona is no longer a rapebabby, and Durotan united with the Humans.
The movie probably won't even end with Stormwind getting btfo.
>Blizzard rewrites the second war to include human orc cooperation crap
>>338119836
You know those shorts they make for the game? Yeah, they take like +6 months to make like a 2 minute video.
>>338120341
Really doubt it takes more than 2
Good shitpost though
>>338120341
How many years did this movie take to make?
How much CG are they using anyway?
a human better bone an orc in this movie
i'll go see it knowing that it will be terrible, with the hope that it will be so unwatchable that people will actually start leaving and i can join an angry mass exodus from the theater
ive only walked out twice before and that was during that martin lawrence movie wild hogs and some movie called dragon wars which from what i can recall was so bad i couldnt even enjoy it ironically
from the trailers im thinking warcraft might make it three
>>338119369
>Phantom Menace tier
Hobbit tier CGI hopefully
>>338120341
they also dont have a the budget of a feature length film
>>338120341
Then they should at least do some Pixar shit Overwatch movie. By now they might as well do just that:
Overwatch Trailer: 6min
Winston Short: 8 min
Widowmaker Short: 6 min
Hanzo Short: 8 min
So they've already made about half an hour. Triple that and you have your feature length film.
The one thing positive I have to say is the costumes look beautiful, I dont see what you're seeing.
>>338118847
>the gaps between the plastic stair covers and construction paper floor
So you feel you don’t have the same problems you would face in adapting something like Tolkien?
>Exactly. It wasn’t written by an old, white man in the trenches in World War I. It’s going to have a different vibe.
>>338116664
Even if movie gonna be complete shit - it will still make a lot more money than they invested in making it - on WoW name alone. IF only you could return money if movie was shit like - SteamRefund.
>>338120867
Can't wait for the inevitable WE WUZ KANGZ moment.
>>338120867
and that vibe is something like dubstep
...at least thats what i gathered from that preview
>>338121009
With any luck the cult of Blizzard will reveal its impotency when venturing outside the realm of video games.
>>338116865
Moon was great because its budget contained it.
Directing one great small movie doesn't mean you're going to make something good when you're handed $100m, in fact it's often the exact opposite.
>>338116664
Jokes on you all the early screens say the cgi is 10/10
>>338118602
Everyone who sees this movie is either going to already have WoW or be a normie with no interest in it.
All this means is ebay will be flooded with dirt cheap codes from their ticket stubs and WoW is about to get a MASSIVE wave of economy botters who were getting $2 WoW codes.
why didnt they just make it full cgi
dumb fucking shits
>>338116664
>How badly did Bowie's son fuck up?
his father killed himself to avoid the embarrassment
>>338119148
No, why do people keep fucking saying this? Why do you retards think Blizzard is making this?
The movie is licensed to Legendary Pictures, a typical huge Hollywood studio and their fucking teams are making it.
>>338122181
Because according to the experts on /v/ it would take at least 20 years for them to do a full CGI movie on par with their trailers and cinematics.
>>338120436
You can pop in the behind the scenes cluray for Cata, MoP or WoD and watch for yourself, it took them nearly an entire year to do the WoD one.
>>338120436
https://youtu.be/N-gNsbL6BmA
>2 months
Maybe to make just the model of Azmodan.
>>338122062
you're retarded, people are dying for a sword and shield epic, if it gets good initial reviews it'll do great
>>338123018
What does that have to do with anything?
Those transmog items are rewarded just for logging in within 2 months of the movie launch. You don't need the ticket node or to see the movie at all.
>>338123018
You just enforced what he said. Normies want a "sword and shield epic" and won't give a fuck about the game. So they toss their ticket stud free WoW code on ebay to recoup some ticket cost for free.
>>338123490
damn i hope blizzard doesn't run out of pixels
>>338116865
And this movie is nothing like Moon, so there you go.
>>338118847
>>338120150
If Stormwind doesn't get sacked it will be the biggest slap in the face from blizzard.
Stormwind being burned to the ground is one of the major sources of conflict between the horde and the alliance.
>>338118847
kill me...
>>338116664
If you are handed a shit situation to deal with there is only so much you can do as a Director. I'm sure most of it wasn't entirely his fault with this shit sounding script, costume, and CG team he was handed.
>>338118847
Finally we're getting a proper sequel to MYST.
>>338118847
Even without the shitty CGI that is awful cinematography. Too much dead space, characters on top the stairs aren't centered, it's just an awkward as fuck image.
>Orcs are the good guys
>>338124594
kek
>>338116865
Moon is low budget almost non-commercial movie, where the guy was given a lot of creative freedom, and he delivered over the top, brilliant movie.
But warcraft is a mega triple A blockbuster based on a mega triple A and one of the biggest western videogame franchise, so he's got a shitton of big fat producers, who poured big fat dollars into the project, and the director can only do what he's told.
Pretty sad, actually
>>338125846
Duncan might not be able to recover from this blunder.
>>338125360
and why the fuck not?
>>338125937
That's what I'm sad about. Such a promising new director with creative movies (source code is good), and here's these corporate monsters.
It's a greatest opportunity for him as well as the biggest possible fuckup, because in the end, everyone's gonna blame the director
>>338126120
>Ever expecting video game based movies to be good
when did that ever happen, if it did, maybe I don't remember it because it rarely happened
>>338123018
That's a pretty big if.
>>338126331
Ratchet and Clank was alright, but that was animated.
>>338120031
Who ever thought making a the beowulf poem into a movie was dumbass. Then making it into CGI for no fucking real reason.
>>338126331
First Mortal Kombat movie.
LOL
>>338119117
I'm a blizzdrone and no, it will have no redeeming qualitiees
>>338126331
Does Animiated/CGI count?I liked the Resident Evil movies
>>338126120
Japan should really draw Orc women
but last time I saw that was from Nezumi and that shit was, just, well not my cup of tea
I still don't get why they didn't just make the whole movie 100% CG.
>>338126630
>>338126630
Fun fact, Ian was nearly fired for saying that. He had to apologize to Jackson to keep the role.
>>338126769
Going full animated with a non-childrens film is suicide, had Avatar gotten rid of the human actors, it would have been Beowulf 2.0
>>338126769
because then they'd have to explain why the cgi in the movie looks of lower quality than their goddamn expansion cinematics
>>338126820
It would have been the best thing that ever happened to him.
Literally the only good thing in those movies

>>338126820
A wizard is never fired, he quits precisely when he means to
>>338127085
>>338126820
I heard Ian preferred acting as Magneto
but x-men movies probably used as much CG, maybe Jackson was being too much of an asshole to him?
>>338126813
>tauriel
Humorously, she originally she didn't have nearly as big a role as she wound up with. She was supposed to be a guard captain that was kind of like a sister to Legolas. Then the execs demanded the love triangle. The commentaries are fascinating because it's just Jackson and Lily fucking furious about it.
Orlando Bloom just went "fuck it" and had fun with it. There were several instances where he'd crash a scene between Tauriel and Kili in character, pretending to be drunk and calling her a slut and shit.

>>338119439
Because they outsource the CGI and spend millions of dollars and several years for a 4 minute trailer. WotLK's cinematic was in the works since BC release.
It's not economically efficient to do that for a 120 min film.
Let me get this straingt.
So current members get nothing, only people who dont play the game? The people who should not even have a reason to watch the movie?
I expected them to give out a pet or something.
I work at a movie theatre so I'll see it just because it's free.
>>338126820
I highly doubt that.
>>338127645
you get transmog items
>>338126630
>>338126813
Holy fuck this is depressing. I thought the Hobbit movies were bad, but this is awful to read.
>>338126331
>I ONLY WATCH WESTERN MOVIES
>>338127789
Zbrush, Maya and Substance Painter are the future of movies anon. Better get used to it.
They don't even do matte paintings anymore, they just render it all then navigate through it using virtual cameras.
>>338126447
>Ratchet and Clank was alright
Was it, now?
>>338125846
i know its not going to blow me away, i just hope its decent in general because of Duncan. Im hoping for a solid 6-7/10 movie.
>>338127327
>but x-men movies probably used as much CG
Probably not actually. And there were scenes in the hobbit where Ian mckellan was literally alone talking to himself because they CG'd all the other actors to look like midgets, not so in X men
>>338127927
I guess it's a good thing I don't watch new movies then.
>>338128083
you're not missing out on much. Last movie I saw with real sets was The Revenant and that was just 110 minutes of landscape shots and a crappy revenge story.
>>338127713
>Beginning on May 25 through August 1, players who log in to World of Warcraft will receive a set of movie-inspired transmogrification items.
No, not for watching the movie.

Looks like that shitty almost edge shader they put on human characters in CSGO and FEAR 3
>>338116664

I like Travis Fimmel, pretty much seeing this movie just for him
