JUST
No we won't
>>339235665
No but they will shit post about it, worse then the shit posting that they do about games
Why the fuck would anyone but the people involved in making the movie defend it?
Even the most hardcore ultra-delusional Warcraft fans hated it
>>339235764
Just what?
>>339235852
JUST FUCK MY SHIT UP
Nah
>>339235925
I see, so tell me why didn't you just say that right away?
Moon was shit and Source Code was average. Additionally they set this movie during Warcraft's most boring time period and also retconned the story to turn the orcs into a bunch of dindus.
I don't know how anyone expected this not to be a steaming mess.
All video game movies suck, it's like an unspoken law of the universe!
>>339235925
Superhero movies learned long ago that doing direct adaptations of costumes was stupid because they looked like shit in live action. It's a shame vidya hasn't learned that yet.

I can tell that you're full of shit and haven't seen the movie, tell me how does an adaptation retcon a game?
>>339236064
That's not an excuse to use proper language and not writing full of sentences, it's like you want 1984 to happen.
>>339236152
Nope, June 10th.
>>339236153
>In the original story orcs are a war mongering culture who willingly drank demon blood and invaded Azeroth with the intention of destroying it

>pierced tooth
>>339235925
>this is what a 500 million USD budget movie looks like
>>339235925
The production value of porn parodies has really gone up over the last few years.
>>339235925
This is porn right?
>>339236641
And I repeat
>You haven't watched the movie
You know how in the first game you could argue that the Orcs were so violent because the demon blood made them that way? Yeah the movie doesn't have that excuse, in that movie they don't have any problems with killing women or children be it by axe or sacrificing them to power the dark portal and while most of them are Green we never get a scene or hint that they drank demon blood. The frostwolves were against the use of sacrifice, but only the frostwolves.
Oh and their planet dying? Gul'dan did that and they were still invented over by Medivh to destroy Azeroth. So stop your shitposting
>>339235925
Somewhen, somewhere, a board of execs sat together and decided that Warcraft just absolutely needed a human/orc mutant for the sex appeal
Look at that goddamn mess
In its defense, the movie looks just like the game.
To its detriment, the movie looks just like the game.
Why bother with any live action at all if they're going to keep the cartoony art style of WoW?
>>339236641
>million dollar fanfiction
>>339236828
>pierced tooth
>I think that a tusk is the same as tooth
And the budget is 160 million
>>339237172
Because normies think animation equals childish, so they make it live action to appeal to the wider audience.
>>339235925
>looks worse than fucking Uwe Boll's Dungeon Siege
How did this happen
>>339237093
How much of this lore was pulled out of Metzen's ass well after Warcraft 1 and 2?
Oh, all of it?
Ok then.
>>339237503
Because the WoW art style doesn't look at all, in any way whatsoever, realistic.
Despite that fact, they went with live action for the film.
Blizzard is that fucking retarded.
Will there ever be a good video game movie?
>>339237508
None of it, and why are you speaking of the movie like it effects the game?
>>339237656
There are certainly ones that are so bad they're good
>>339237503
oh my fucking god fuck you for reminding me this exists
>>339235925
Wow, really makes you think...
>>339236049
You should have seen the first version of his shoulders
Literally three times bigger
>>339237152
It's a draenei/orc hybrid. She has to look like a human for the TWEEEEEST
>>339237656
Do you consider the Wizard as one?
>>339237829
Not really, but it is classic 80's kino
Why will we? Especially since it is by zowie "fuck Tolkien" bowie.
>>339237693
*affects
Staying true to the origin story is what fans want.
Some bullshit spin on interdimensional refugees for a feelgood action blockbuster is just schlock.
>>339238218
Have you not been paying attention to what I said? The orcs in the movie are just as big a war mongers as the one in the game, if not more so.
>>339235764
>blood elves have different races, just like the humans
So there are korean blood elves, and german blood elves, and indian blood elves, and middle eastern blood elves, and etc?
>>339238365
Right, that whole "we're just looking for a peaceful place to call home" thing wasn't shoehorned the fuck in for the movie; except, there it is.
>>339238382
No there is just one asain elf
>>339238457
>"we're just looking for a peaceful place to call home"
Literally the Orc campaign of Warcraft 3.
>>339238457
And how do you explain the "Let's kill these people that aren't use and use the survivors to fuel our demonic gate" part?
>>339238535
>warcraft 3
>origin story of the orcs in warcraft
Stay on topic, retard.
>>339238550
That's dandy, but where in all of warcraft 1 and 2 do these fuckers give a flying shit about anything other than conquering the humans?
Oh, nowhere at all.
Ok then.
>>339238657
In the side lines in the story set during the game but not told in the game.
>>339237656
Angry Birds
>>339238745
You mean metzen asshole?
>>339235665
> Everyone hated it
Fuck you, /v/. My friends and I liked it. The urge to cringe at a few scenes was there, but it wasn't a horrible mess like you like to say it (Excepted for Garonna).
I know you're just a bunch of contrarian faggots, but I liked it.
>>339238876
I mean lore expanding,
>>339238901
Is Garona as hard to understand as all the reviewers say? Where is she on a level between 1 and Bane?
>>339238969
Metzen's asshole expanding?
>>339238745
By sidelines in the story do you mean that it's assumed they want to conquer and slaughter the humans so that they can rule over Azeroth; and that there's still nothing in those first 2 games that comes anywhere near painting the orcs as a peace seeking society looking desperately for a place to call home?
>>339238969
You mean retcon?
>>339238901
Like this movie is contrarian so you are the faggot here.
>>339237576
It baffles me how Blizzard has had a history of rather good CGI videos for their games, yet they didn't spend the effort to make a feature length film using their tech
>>339239005
But the orcs aren't peaceful in the movie you drooling retard. How many times must I repeat my self? The orcs in the movie are far worst then the ones in the game
>>339239137
It's what ultimately kills this movie. It's fucking unwatchable because every frame is like looking at a side by side comparison of the WoW art style to real life; shit is like oil and water. Every frame of that movie is fucking jarring.
>>339237656
Mortal Kombat.
The "It's campy" argument doesn't really work, it's arguably less campy than the game.
>>339239137
>using their tech
What tech? It's just a shitload of work.
>>339239189
Right, like how they came to Azeroth seeking nothing but a peaceful refuge from the abuse they faced in outland.
Very blood thirsty, much warmongering.
>>339235665
it'll make over 400 million globally
>>339239325
Don't forget baby orc jesus
>>339239325
Yeah they're really peaceful, so peaceful that they have no problems in burning down human villages, kill and sacrifice men, women and children
>>339236641
I thought this has been the new canon since WC3 or WoW, they rewrote most of WC1 and 2 to make all the races more acceptable
lolnah
Human actors wear suits that I've seen cosplayers outdo. How the do you fuck up that bad seriously?
Also the director is a jackass who talked shit about Tolkien being "An old white dude in the trenchs of WW1".
Like nigga, Middle Earths setting makes Warcrafts look like a fucking fart in the wind, shut up.
>>339239457
You're clearly retarded, so I'll make it simple for you.
What is the orcs' primary motivation for leaving outland to enter azeroth in the film?
Alonso Duralde about Warcraft:
1/5
"Imagine Battlefield Earth without the verve, or the unintentional comedy."
Alonso Duralde about Dragonball Evolution:
4/5
"It may be silly and occasionally miscast, but Dragonball Evolution never loses steam; the movie is both entertainingly ridiculous and ridiculously entertaining."
>professional movie critics
is this going to be final fantasy all over again
>>339239605
Advent Children was fucking great though.
>>339239530
To find a new place to live in after Gul'dan killed their old world. But sense you seem to be an autistic retarded with downs syndrome let me make this easy for you.
Do you really think that they are peaceful when the burn down villages and use human sacrifice to power the dark portal? And they are fine with all that?
>>339239627
I think he is talking about Spirits Within, the thing that killed off SquareSoft.
>>339239552
What's hard to understand here? Seems like a try hard bad movie vs something that's so bad it's good and knows it's not good. I say this having seen neither.
>>339239708
An ok movie that was based on a game franchise where each game had fuck all to do with each other then a few names?
>>339239679
Ok, so we're making progress.
In the film, the orcs leave outland for no other reason than to find a new home to live out their lives in peace; and only incidentally do they run into conflict with the humans.
That's a fat retcon.
>>339237503
Uwe Boll quality was too expensive for Blizzard
Why was Dalaran already a floating city?
>The Draenei exist due to WoW retcons
>Fel Magic instead of Mannoroth's Blood
>Thrall is stillborn, Gul'dan uses Fel magic on him to revive him
>Garona is nothing but a fucktoy, not even a spy for the Horde
>Every human is sympathetic to her, not just Llane
>Garona falls in love with Lothar
>Llane tells her to kill him so Blackhand won't get the honour
>Garona cries while stabbing Llane in the neck and becomes the biggest Orc hero for doing so
>Stormwind doesn't get sacked shortly after Llane's death
>Gul'dan defeats Durotan in Mak'gora
>Lothar defeats Blackhand in Mak'gora
>Draka stabbed by a random Grunt
>Medivh gets doubleteamed by Lothar and Khadgar instead of a raid
>Flying Dalaran
>Story is rushed and badly paced
>CGI looks good
>Mix of CGI and liveaction is god awful
>Disgusting fight choreography
>Bad props/costumes
>Quips in what's supposed to be a serious war-setting
>Garona constantly lisping due to the Orc teeth
I have no reason to defend it, I was very disappointed despite having low expectations.
>>339239776
You forgot to mention how much money that SquareSoft put in and the negative reception it got.
I agree it was an... ok movie (I want a game based on the Phantoms damn it) but no one can deny that it bombed... hard.
>>339239741
>I say this having seen neither.
In that case, just know that you are mistaken.
>>339239943
>we will never get a good representation of the failed assault of storwind
It would be glorious, the might of the human army fucking a bunch of savages with magic and real militar planning.
>>339239850
>and only incidentally do they run into conflict with the humans
No not incidentally, they needed fuel for the portal and they found humans to be a good fuel. Also while the burning legion is not seen they are mentioned (well specially only Kiljaden is but not much detail is given about him) and Medivh is the one who keeps the portal open from Azeroth.
>>339239137
>using their tech
They have no special technique. They just have a team of animators that do nothing but work on those CGI movies day in day out.
In an interview they said it takes them about a full year to produce the 2-3 minute intro cutscenes you see at the beginning of WoW expansions and such.
>>339240150
>Medivh is the one who keeps the portal open from Azeroth.
No, Sargeras is the one who does that. Fucker started influencing Medivh in the womb.
>>339240079
Instead we get a movie where they win by using guns, in the end Dwarfs are the true heroes. As it should be
>>339240150
Right, so they only enter into combat with the humans because it turns out they need them to power their portal.
That's called incidental.
Compare that to "they went to azeroth for the sole purpose of purging the humans and conquering azeroth".
The whole film is a retcon.
>>339240195
And there were times when he would take over the body and do his things, which the movie does bring up.
>>339240225
Oh yeah, yet another fuckup. Rifles/Pistols weren't used before The Second War but every single soldier had a pistol in the film.
>>339240275
It's not a fucking retcon if it doesn't change the games, and guess what it doesn't you Mongoloid. And why did they want to conquer Azeroth again? Because the burning legion set them up to do it, and the movie does the same.
>>339240225
>Lothar is not wearing the belt nor the sword of the brotherhood
lmao at this shit movie.
>>339240283
Fucking really?
>>339239943
If even a small fraction of that list is accurate, I look forward to the lore fanatics ripping this movie's asshole to shreds.
>>339240396
>It's not a fucking retcon
You're a fucking retard anon the whole movie is build around all the wow retcons.
>>339240396
>it's not a retcon if it doesn't change the game
>completely overhauling the motivations for the orcs to battle with the humans isn't a retcon so long as the orcs still battle the humans
That's what you've just said. Really drink in that shit. That's how fucking retarded you sound.
>>339240396
It's a retcon if it changes established lore you fuckmonkey.
>>339240407
>Fucking really?
Yes, they all have pistols and use them during the later scenes.
>>339240421
>If even a small fraction of that list is accurate, I look forward to the lore fanatics ripping this movie's asshole to shreds.
Everything in it is accurate.
>>339240421
They already are, just like at the retards in this thread calling the movie a retcon.
>>339240470
Only a few of them, but that doesn't make the movie a retcon.
>>339240470
>movie built around retcons
So it's fanfiction given a movie budget?
>>339240470
>expand on lore by explaining the motivation of their actions
>RETCON
fuck off retard, the first two warcraft games had shit stories to begin with so a retcon would have been completely acceptable to begin with
>>339237656
Doom for like 5 minutes
>>339240589
>motivation
Their entire motivation is now Fel Magic instead of drinking the Demon Kool Aid.
The word DEMON is uttered once, when Lothar and Khadgar go to kill Medivh
>>339240589
>expand lore
They are not expanding anything retard they are retconing the lore.
>The "not retcon" is ok because they games are shit
You're almost too stupid to function anon.
>>339239776
Spirits Within almost killed Square. They then parasitically bonded with Enix in order to survive and have never quite recovered. To say Spirits Within is anything less than a complete and total abject failure is an understatement.
Even if we are just talking about the movie's quality on its own, independent of whether it has anything to do with Final Fantasy or not, it still isn't very good. The movie is unbearably slow and tedious. Fucking nothing happens.
>>33924050
>>339240523
But it does not change the establishment lore of the game, or do you think that captain America in the MCU is a Hydra agent because it's now revealed that he always was one in the comics?
yfw the damage control
>>339240695
The one thing I can give movie credit for is the fucking Phantoms and some of the designs.
God damn, that movie is still good looking to this day, but the plot and characters are a mess.
>>339235665
>Video Game movie
No, we won't
>>339240717
If there was a new issue of Captain America that went back to his origin and established that he was always a hydra agent, and then proceeded to write around every Captain America issue so that their hydra agent story fits in, you would then have something on the level of what Blizzard did to Warcraft with this movie.
It's a retcon.
>>339240589
>explaining the motivation of their actions
Their real motivation was conquering hundreds of planets the retcon motivation is something about their planet dying.
>>339237215
>pierced tusk
>>339235925
>this is what a 160 million USD budget movie looks like
Did anyone seriously expect it to be any good after it was first shown to be live action?
>wowfags will pay to see this slop
Are the the stupidest people on the planet?
>>339240882
>If there was a new issue of Captain America that went back to his origin and established that he was always a hydra agent
That's exactly what happened
>>339241052
>Are the the

>>339235925
more
>people constantly saying "retcon" in this thread
You idiots have no idea what that word means.
Not following the established lore =/= retcon
Or did you fags also believe that the marvel movies retconned the comics' stories as opposed to what every sane person would call it, establishing a different universe
>>339241112
If you live by one of the "literally who" theaters with the promo, you could still get a ticket and send your new account a wow token to get a RAF mount.
>>339240935
But the game and the novels don't have any mentions of Draenor dying
>>339241052
I mean a lot of people are paying for Overwatch when the beta was all the time you needed to see the whole game and never need to play again, you tell me.

>the games dont exist anymore because the movie is here now
>hurrrr retcon
Call me when they make Warcraft: Orcs May Die edition
>>339241364
So the movie is not a retcon
>>339237503
God I didn't need to be reminded that existed.
>>339241316
at 0:07 you can see him realize what the fuck he ehas gotten himself into
>>339237656

>>339241316
Just because it's a real set doesn't mean it automatically looks good. Same shit tier design as the costumes.

>>339237656
Soon. Mwahahaha.
http://gematsu.com/2016/03/dynasty-warriors-live-action-movie-production
>>339239473
it was only retconned in the later expansions of wow. the reason orcs became more "noble" in wc3 was because thrall lead them towards a new path. if you remember a large part of the campaign is spent unifying the still brutish warmongering orc clans to sail west for kalimdor (and meeting some new allies along the way). they also retain a lot of their blood thirst and war culture, but thrall basically tames them (he is the WAR CHIEF after all).
So... why did they have to retcon the orcs once AGAIN?
>>339235665
This was the only movie I was interested this year
The only movies I have watched these past like 3-4 years is the Hobbit movies. I really only liked the first one, because I saw it with a____friend, but because of bullshit drama, we're not______friendsanymore
I wish I wasn't so dead inside, 2012 was probably the last year I was happy in
>>339242704
so normies don't get sad while watching a movie
>>339242778
the hobbit movies were trash
>>339242996
They were, the third one dragged on for quite a while too
>>339243042
The second one was the worst. I really hated the Kili/Peter Jackson created elf girl love plot
Khadgar gained a level when expiating the Demon out of Medivh, didn't he?
I can't be the only one who noticed how the orange/yellow beam with that sound appeared just when he managed to do it.
whats with the plastic armor?
>>339243169
Apparently neither he nor the actress wanted to do it.
>>339235665
I won't defend anything WarCraft related after TFT and WoW (specifically WoTLK).
>>339243219
c'est pas faux
>>339243169
Nigga what you talking about? Taurial was great and her romance with Kili was one of the best parts of the film. If the second movie needed less of something it was Legolas.
>>339243219
That was some form of light magic that he was using
>>339241316
That set looks like something out of a movie from the 1950s. Like they just rummaged through one of those giant Hollywood warehouses that has all the props until they found some shit that kinda worked.
Also, who the fuck thought (poorly) recreating the armor from the games was a good idea?
>>339237656
Phoenix Wright movie but no one on /v/ watches Japanese movies.
>>339242686
Nah, Metzen made "Of Blood and Honor" novel even before WC3 was released. Main orc is nagging that orcs have gone crazy.
>>339238978
Garona is load of shit, but the rest of the movie was pretty ok-ish (lore is messed up though).
>>339235925
This is the start of a porn right?
>>339239865
>$10 mil net worth
How the fuck did he pull that off?
>>339245949
It looks bad, but think about how the inevitable porn parody is going to compare to it. Oh, this is gonna be good.
>>339235665
Doesn't matter if it's shit people will watch it anyway because it's a WoW movie.
>>339245128
I saw it. No it wasn't good.
>>339235925
even porn makes it better
Someone please sum up the story for me. Does it have to do anything with lore? Any memorable characters in it?
Fuck I hope someone screencapped the anon who complained about the Need for Speed movie ruining the "lore" of the franchise.
>>339237656
Unironically, Angry Birds.
>>339246757
I'm curious, who was the first place on the internet to point out these aspects of the film?
>>339246883
/Pol/ and only /pol/
>>339246757
Fuck off /pol/
>>339247520
Delicious tears
>>339247520
Triggered cuck cant make this shit up
>oy vey they posted it again, better prep the bull!
>>339235665
Saw it yesterday.
With a friends who's an absolute fan of Warcraft.
The movie was excellent, but maybe because we already knew everything and just waited for shit to happen.
Even if the story was changed a bit it was excellent.
>>339247520
Fuck you
Why didn't they go full cgi? Their game cutscenes have been great since wc3. Is it too hard to make a full movie that way?
>>339237656
Prince of persia was astonishingly watchable, people who have no idea about the games have even said they enjoyed it.
>>339247775
I wouldn't say it was exellent, but it was alright. Thought it would be fucking horrible. Just hope that if the make a new warcraft film they actually take more time out of the movie to focus on the characters. Durotan and Khatgar was the best part of the movie.
First half of the movie was really good and took it's time, the second half not so much.
>>339247684
But /pol/ can make that shit up, which they did.
>>339246058
uwe boll is actually quite smart and he knew what he was doing.
buying cheap licenses for well known IPs and making movies with those IPS is an easy way to make at least some bucks - even if the box office was garbage, he shoots those movies in countries such as germany or canada, where you get money from the government and other cinema establishments since you shoot the movies in their country etc.
it's a weird fucked up system and he was just exploiting it.
his regular movies are actually not bad.
>>339248075
How's your bull doing, friend?
>>339248156
Are you fucking dumb? This is OUR movie. It is THE /v/ movie. It's fucking relevant to this board. A WoW movie is a video game movie.
>>339248010
Well the hype factor may have influenced me but I found it really good.
Main characters (Durothan, Kadgar and Ragnar) were great, Gul'Dan was as badass as expected, only Garona was bad.
The lore was altered but it was for the sake of the movie, and it worked.
My only complain is that Sargeras mode Medivh was a little bitch.
>>339248082
Interesting. Thanks for the info
>>339235986
Moon was fantastic and source code was meh. Your taste is shit.
Everyone who saw it, liked it
>>339237656
The ace attorney movie was fantastic.
Resident evil, street fighter and mortal Kombat were so bad it's good.
Everything else is trash.
>>339248075
The simple fact that the producers couldn't get any funding from Hollywood and paid for it themselves means it doesn't have to pass the jewish litmus test.
Unless you're an idiot, you can see the Angry Birds movie goes against all the tropes that are in every single kid's movie to date. Angry Birds outright mocks them.
>all girls are smart and neat and get special powers without any effort
>all boys are dumb and messy and can only get their powers through struggle
>all strangers turn out to be friends
>all evil doers have horns and red eyes
>all outsiders win by eventually conforming to the tribe
>>339248105
You aren't making any sense, how do you connect cuckold to not seeing a message about refugees in the angry birds movie?
>tfw there will still be "people" paying to see this
I just played Warcraft 1,2,3. Never bother with wow. Should I still go to see it. I liked the story and lore.
We 21% now

Don't you dare try to put Resident Evil on the same level as SF or MK. it was garbage with no saving grace
>>339248961
I am not the guy you are replying to, but when you post and avoid his question like that it really kinda looks... suspicious. I don't know. Do you have a bull?
funfact: the only video game movie that wasn't UTTERLY SHIT was silent hill.
it wasn't good but oh boy it was 10x better than the rest.
>>339241316
Jesus, this looks so plastic it hurts. They didn't even try to make it look good, didn't they?
>>339249373
It did the usual thing that all game movies do and changed some things and added some other things, but it was still watchable. Even more so compared to the second movie they had to make.
Fuck me. Silent Hill has had a hard life.
>>339249553
totally agree.
>>339249351
Are you serious right now Anon?
>>339249373
Mortal Kombat nigga
Also, Street Fighter.
People say it's bad but they're just plebs.
>>339250139
street fighter was imho really shit but yes, mortal kombat was actually good. i forgot about that one.
>>339246883
>>339247520
A lot of it's silly, but it's undeniable the nature of the movie is that you should be wary of immigrants.
And the pigs just fucking look Muslim. The beards and the color scheme that's reminiscent of Muslim flags.
>>339250086
I am just wondering. And I noticed you did not answer again... It was a simple yes or no question... Do you have a bull?
>>339241316
it looks like shit because those costumes are $100 carnival tier. You can immediately tell that it is plastic
>>339237215
They spent 150 million on shilling.

The face of an actor that knows his career is dead.
>>339250460
Why do you even care when it has nothing to do with the topic at hand? And the answer is no.
Retard
>>339250301
>but it's undeniable the nature of the movie is that you should be wary of immigrants.
No the nature of the movie is to be wary of strangers. The pigs has more to do with the colonial forces of Europe then what it does Muslims.
>>339237656
angry birds
the only reason why critics didn't like it is because it wasn't politically liberal as alot of children films are today, with the pigs being bad and all
does anyone have the pic of the Jewish critic say "the pigs wouldn't be the villains in real life"?
>>339241316
Those lions straight up look like foam spray painted gold.

Fuck off /pol/

what the fuck does my post have to do with /pol/fags?

What are you even talking about
Why the fuck was Thrall blue when he was born?
inb4 he's actually half Draenei
>>339251650
>the only reason why critics didn't like it is because it wasn't politically liberal as alot of children films are today,
The thought that they didn't like it because it's shit is that unthinkable to you?
Best part of the movie was Gul'dan going angry buff grandpa style on Durotan.
The only fun thing is the terrible shilling campaign going on in /tv/
>>>/tv/70140396
>>339250998
Half of those are just /tv/ being retarded for (You)'s
>>339235925
this looks like a fucking porn parody
>>339252092
No no, they are legitimate shilling threads full of people desperate defending them and the games.
Go to the thread pointed at in
>>339252078
It's really sad.
>>339235665
I WILL defend it, what the fuck? I expected it to be a trainwreck but it turned out to be a solid 6/10, dunno why it gets so much shit, probably because if you're not familiar with the unverse the entire movie is pretty empty for you
>>339251747
But it isn't shit?
Look at the reviews and tell me there isn't a bias against the film.
>>339252268
No it didn't, shill.
>>339251676
>The pigs has more to do with the colonial forces of Europe then what it does Muslims.
Ugh tug western civilization bad! Islam good! Me smart modern educated child!

I have to take a shower now. Jesus christ.

That's what you get for going to the worst board on 4chan.

>they all start saying that superhero movies are cheap
>when some pics with shopped elements fit in as good as the legitimate objects and characters from the movie
Seriously, try to find out which one is shopped, and which one is real.
>>339252293
Read the reviews for the Warcraft movie and tell me that they aren't biased, chance are higher than they dismiss both movies because they're based on games. Chances for that are much higher than because of some political agenda.
>>339235665
almost as good as BvS, must be vidyakino
>>339252674
Man I hope people will add more and more characters to this over the coming weeks
>>339252660
No, even /tv/ agrees that the LOTR trilogy was great.
Warcraft shill threads have spent months shitting on LOTR, saying that Warcraft was going to kill the superhero genre, etc.
Never seen a more obnoxious shilling campaign since Lords of the Fallen here in /v/
>>339252749
I wouldn't disagree with Hollywood having bias against video games but this here....
http://www.flickfilosopher.com/2016/05/the-angry-birds-movie-movie-review-what-the-shell.html
...is like a damned parody
>>339252892
The LotR trilogy wasn't that good, dude. I mean it was good, but it's only good for 1 viewing.
>>339253221
Nope I can't finish it, now go read some reviews for Warcraft.
>>339252546
But Lotr is low Fantasy. The magic they use isn't that strong. High fantasy would be like the stories in The Silmarillion where people could destroy mountains with a flick of the wrist if they really wanted to.
>>339252674
>that picture
I just cant
>>339253490
>the definitions of low and high fantasy depend purely on how often magic is used
No. The definitions depend on how different it is to our reality.
It has elves and orcs and demigods. It's fucking high fantasy.
my friends just watched it for the free legion code

Lotr is literally set in our world

Mark Kermode said it was bretty gud.
>>339252892
>even /tv/ agrees that the LOTR trilogy was great.
And /tv/ thinks that BvS and barbershop 3 are masterpieces, so their opinions are worthless
>>339253831
Every single BvS thread is bait because of how bad it turned out to be.
Though there's some /co/ rejects that unironically defend it.
>>339253715
Yeah a really short review that compares it to LOTR and GOT when the movie is not trying to be either of them.
>>339253490
I don't think you know what low and high fantasy is. Something like GOT would be low fantasy, inching a bit into high fantasy as it started to introduce the more fantastical creatures. LOTR is pure high fantasy.
>>339251557
Go back to lereddit, communist.
>>339254183
what about barbershop 3?
just a few weeks ago they were all out whiteknighting it because someone called it niggerkino
>>339254996
Every single post with the word ''kino'' in it is either bait, irony or straight shitpost.
Most people were laughing at how it's WB's best scoring movie of the year when BvS came out weeks before.
LoTR has barely any magic in it. It's low fantasy. High fantasy is when magic is a massive part of the setting, like Warcraft.
>>339235665
/v/ has been shitting on it for a week now, dude
>inb4 that theory where /v/ argues the opposite of the OP is true
>>339255187
>LoTR has barely any magic in it.
>>339252892
>even /tv/ agrees that the LOTR trilogy was great.
That has nothing to do with whether it's low fantasy or not.It's clearly not.
>>339235925
It looks like a bunch of larpers with professional camera shots.
Who the fuck thought WoW's ridiculous armour design would translate well to live actors?
>>339255271
This.
The only people defending it are a few shills in /tv/
>>339238457
using one orc clan to describe the rest.
it's like you purposely ignore the lore too.
>>339255187
>Low fantasy stories are set either in the real world or a fictional but rational world, and are contrasted with high fantasy stories which take place in a completely fictional fantasy world setting with its own set of rules and physical laws.
Straight from fucking Google.
>>339235665
it's sad that of all the hate it gets, /v/ shits on this movie the most just for the lulz. It really isn't a bad movie, especially considering it's a vidya movie - you can't expect LOTR level but this is /v/ for ya...you get a chance to actually band together and fight for/defend something, and you just defecate on it. SHAME !
>>339235925
this looks like a standard boring sitting in a room talking type of shot, what the fuck do you retards expect it to look like ? Bleargh...you guys are the worst, and i am reminded of this every time i come here.
>>339239552
I think Warcraft the movie was cheesy, almost campy fantasy but it was hillarious as fuck and had its moments. I think I had more fun watching this than the overhyped Star Wars movie. I had 0 hype for Warcraft.
>>339235665
Shit movie is shit. Pitty seeing as the other stuff from the director was good. Also means we wont see a wc3 adaption.
>>339255340
Think back over the books anon, or movies if you're a real pleb. How much actual magic goes on? Most "magic" you're probably thinking about are just innate abilities of the creatures, or exists only within certain items. Very, very little actual magic occurs, even Gandalf only creates a bit of light and a bit of fire.
>>339255514
>citing Wikipedia
Sorry to say, but low and high fantasy are more commonly used in a different way to that. In fact I've never heard those terms used in that way.
>>339239943
>>Gul'dan defeats Durotan in Mak'gora
Magic is allowed? Because I can't imagine Gul'dan crushing skulls with an axe.
>>339255863
>acting like this is 2005 or something
Wikipedia isn't a wild west of inaccurate information anymore. They've actually got employees approving and fact checking edits now.
>>339256046
thrall beating Gorosh was the same thing
>>339255863
>innate abilities
By that logic Gandalf isn't magic since it's just an innate ability of his.
