Those are made by Blizzard's in-house CG department. Likely they're a large team of fairly well-paid artists and animators. They've actually weighed in on the topic of why they don't make full-length cinematics and shit.

The movie was not made by Blizzard, it was made by some cut-rate CGI house for the film industry, likely multiple studios. Not a directed team of artists working on a product, but cheap Korean digital artists working to fill in greenscreen space and deliver shots on time.

As much as I hate to admit it, the original Warcraft is dead and buried at this point. World of Warcraft is the only thing that sticks in the public's eyes.

This feels like a giant vanity project for Blizzard and a major "everything is fine" moment.

"Uwe Boll made a bid to direct, but was turned away by Blizzard, who he claims to have said, "We will not sell the movie rights, not to you… especially not to you. Because it’s such a big online game success, maybe a bad movie would destroy that ongoing income, what the company has with it."[14] Sam Raimi was initially attached to direct,[15][16] but was replaced by Duncan Jones in January 2013.[17] Upon coming abouard Jones immediatly voiced his displeasure at the script, which he stated "was the stale fantasy trope of, humans are the good guys, monsters are the bad guys," with Blizzard's approval (who had also been looking to change the story) Jones changed the story so that "It’s 50-50." [18] Jones also faced personal struggles during filming as his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer soon after Jones took over, furthermore his father, David Bowie, also died from cancer late in production. Jones thus summed up the challenge by telling The New York Times. "My film started and ended with cancer"

They should've made the Warcraft movie around 2006-2008 when WoW was at the height of its popularity. I'm betting a lot more people were willing to go see it then.

there are hundreds of different ways to set up a story about pig stealing eggs and birds getting them back, and the narrative where the majority of naive birds shames the one who was suspicious was deliberately chosen.

It's hard to make recently-built sets look aged. LoTR had a similar issue that they solved by deliberately staining and dirtying sets to make them (like Minas Tirith) look used

>>
>>339214880
I dunno.

Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within is a good film, as long as you know you're getting a sci-fi flick, not an FF film. So, you might not count that and I wouldn't blame you.

Silent Hill was a good film.

Prince of Persia was enjoyable.

So, four or three video game films have been enjoyable.

One of the reasons that video game films often do so poorly is because the people in charge aren't gamers and just want an action flick, and games are all about action, right?

It's the same shit that makes a lot of (non Marvel studios) comic book films absolute crap, because they're made by people who hate comics.
