Anyone watched it yet?
Looks exciting, I'm currently watching this rip.
I saw few minutes of the rip someone streamed yesterday. It looked awful.
>>340554907
Rips tend to do that
>>340554907
I'm in 25 minutes now, if you know your lore, the movie looks pretty fine.
so no link to stream?
it was good, strong seven out of ten imo
It's quite bad, but as a fan it'll give you a few laughs, and Gul'dan is done well.
The movie shines every time orcs are on the screen, and fails utterly with the live-action human actors who feel completely out of place and have the most wooden performances I've ever seen. They should've just made it full CGI.
>>340555021
Which Shrek is this from?
>>340555021
I'd imagine WC1 orcs being turned to dindu nuffins would be extra offensive for someone familiar with the original source material
>>340555021
Making some short funny clips as I watch.
>>340555021
I know a guy who has literally read every WC book and he hates this movie
orcs were great
some of the fighting was cool
humor was especially awful
This movie will kill the warcraft franchise. It's that bad.
>>340555246
>it should have been full CGI
This. Blizzard animators on a Pixar-style flick when
>>340553345
that was realy good for simple movie for fans.
on the other hand trailer and hatred around it ... i just dont know why people do this?
i think people just want to hate and destroy something in there unsatisfied lives
>>340555708
Overwatch
Will this forever remain the best videogame movie?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52ohbbfbzyU
>>340555602
It did pretty well domestically and it's killing it over in Chinkland, and they haven't even put pandas in it the movies yet. Guaranteed there will be a Warcraft 2, 3, etc....and the closer to live-action WoW content they get, the more people will want to see them.
Also this won't affect Hearthstone or WoW one fucking bit either way. A bunch of asspained critics who would pan the movie even if it was a perfect rendition of Warcraft in the cinema won't drag it down.
>>340555417
go see it theatre its nothing like that. camrip is just atrocious fuckery with your eyes
>>340553345
Where did you get that rip? That's best looking one i've seen
The movie's issues that I noticed were humor and humanization of the Horde, otherwise its pretty fine as of now.
>>340556131
Check the KAT
>>340555870
no. mortalkombat is nostalgia stained shit in your brain
>>340553345
It rapes the established lore just so that normies can "understand" whats going on.
also the retarded jump cuts ruin it pretty bad
I also read all the shit books and played every shitty Blizzard game in their current day other than Lost Vikings and dumped over 3 years of /played time on WoW on a single character over 8 years. I'm definitely a turbo autist blizzdrone who gets dickdeep into the lore of whatever shit I'm entertaining myself with.
At the theatree now, will report back in a few hours if this thread is still up.

Overwatch would make a legitimately good flick if it was more like the Museum/Dragons trailers and less like the Alive/Hero ones.
Watched it twice.
/r/ing Gul'dan webms OP.
I couldn't even finish it. But of course, because this is 4chan everyone will say it's better than lotr.
Just wait.
>>340555021
I remember reading in the warcraft manual that orcs were terrified of horses since their first experience after coming through the portal was being trampled to death by a team of human knights. Why are the orcs so huge in the movie?
The huge CGI orcs next to the tiny human actors really highlights how big the humans are in the games. The average Azerothian soldier in the games looks like 350+ lb hulk and wears his own weight in pauldrons. The difference is so stark, I can't get over it.
>>340557012
Only blizzshills say that.
>>340553345I remember when drive A:\ was used exclusively for floppy disks.
>>340555021
The movie rapes the fuck out of the lore, Orcs were bloodthirsty assholes
It's like a movie from the SyFy channel but with a really big budget for cgi.
>>340557264
>>warhammer
That other unisverse, were everyone is a bloodthirsty asshole
>>340555139
Right tHere anon, look closely.
>>340557113
You seem to think that this movie was based in "Warcraft", as in "Warcraft: Orcs and Humans" the videogame.
When it is not, this movie is based on the retcon-infested piece of shit that is the Warcraft universe.
>>340557506
Even then the movie retcons more shit contradicting even WoW
>>340557610
Because now the lore is explained in books, not videogames.
That way you have people still paying to play your shitty game and they even have to pay more for canonized fanfiction if they want to know what the fuck is going on.
it's beyond abysmal

Post gul'dan removing his robes
I was not planning to see it but listening to a few people talking about has changed my mind. Seem visuals are amazing, the story is ok and there a mix of great and fucking awful characters.
It does not seem to be a great movie but worth a watch if you like Warcraft.
>>340556789
please tell me this is a joke... why would they purposefully destroy the already perfect actual lore ? Gul'dan leading the horde" from the shadows, the humans losing their first war with them... it's almost as if blizz is prostituting warcraft lore to get people to play wow. THEY EVEN GAVE A HARD COPY OF WOW TO EVERY PERSON WHO BOUGHT A TICKET TO SEE THE MOVIE DURING THE OPENING MONTH !
>>340558065
Oh and Garona ends up in love with Lothar, and Llane asks her to kill him because for some reason that'll make peace between orcs and humans possible.
Just think about that.
Backstabbing the king that thrusted you will help to bring peace between the races.
This is an actual plot point in the movie.
The overall plot is pretty thin, may be there are too many characters so there is not enough time to build them up. When something happens it doesn't have too much impact.
The ending is quite a let down as well.Why would Blackhand go challenge a human into Mak'gora if he is a traditional orc?
I don't like how they try to make a clean slate for some characters as well, like Medivh and King Llane. But that is just my opinion.
>>340557656

What he said.
Also watching Grom Hellscream show up in most of the shots but act like an average background Orc is very funny.
>humans are the bad guys
>humans get rekt erryday
>orcs are now the good guys
yep, everything post W3 is shit in terms of lore
>>340558282He was bound to die anyway, so I think him asking her to kill him has some meaning to it. Possibly to put Lothar as the new King
Shrek'd
>>340558760
as large as the orc's hand is anyways, theres no way it'd fit around the neck w/o snapping it in the process of just trying to grab it.
Can anyone win a fight against him?
He's using hax magic in a melee fight.
>>340559805
Thrall did the same and no one cared though.
>>340559805

Shit, I always thought they were just ornaments on his fucking robes.
How does he dress in the morning?
>>340556789

This is the biggest bullshit of the movie for me because even in movie form it would've been a damn good ending.
>Doomhammer is a Frostwolf
And this is the dumbest shit because even in WoD nigger is clearly Blackrock.Gul'Dan is a GOAT villain though.
they should've went with full CG, the real actors were jarring
and Garona made the whole thing look like a low budget fan film
>>340560985
Puts on a robe and call it a day.
>>340558856
Whats the point in insulting people.
You're calling people fat for not watching some movie they don't want to see? Is that some marketing strategy that I don't know about, because I don't want to see the movie even more now.
>>340559805
The fucking ending was a mess

>NO GUL'DAN, YOU MUST FOLLOW OUR TRADITIONS, IF YOU WON'T FOLLOW THE TRADITIONS NOBODY WOULD FOLLOW YOU
Did the script writers forget they put a similar fight 5 minutes earlier in the movie, so that argument isn't supposed to work? What the fuck

>Victory would have been assured, but for the arrival of their great, mounted soldiers. These fiends rode atop beasts of muscle and sinew that crashed through our ranks and dealt as much damage to our troops as did their riders. These knights, as we have come to know them, rallied what few soldiers remained, and began driving us out of the castle. Our every turn was countered as we were forced to retreat towards the gateway back to our world. Some trick of magic had them always at our back, sides, and in our path. We barely reached the edges of the swamplands that now surrounded the portal and eluded our pursuers in its murky depths.

>>340562238
The CGI is good, with only orc scenes it looks good.
The problem is with the humans, and the worst part is when there are humans and orcs at the same time.
>>340559297
Is this real? Please don't tell me this is fucking really in the movie.
Mark Kermode gave it a good review:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QC-8ghk9ojk
>>340562238
Its not. The movie wasn't perfect by any means, but its still a good movie for the fans.
Here's my guess for why the normies hated it. The movie was packed with references that a warcraft player would get, but the average viewer who doesn't play would be confused as fuck. The characteristics of the ORCs are much more different than generic fantasy orcs like LOTR. With no real background, this probably alienated the general viewers.
>>340555502
Who is puppers eating??
>>340562398
This. They don't mesh well at all and when they interact with each other it looks fake as hell. The humans wearing obviously plastic armor doesn't help either.
>>340562589
>but its still a good movie for the fans.
If by "fan" you mean one of those tasteless drone that still pays for fucking WoW in 2016 then yeah, this movie is right up their alley.
And references don't make a good movie.
References are literally the lowest form of entertainment there is.
>>340556789
>no shadow council
>no nerzhul
>stormwind isn't razed
I know they said it's an alternate universe, but these aren't small things at all. How will they expect to even introduce the Witch King saga if the first one doesn't even exist?
>>340554983
Imagine how bad must it be when you can tell the green screen through the artifacts
>>340562740
Fight me. I haven't played WoW since the launch of lich king expansion. Its still enjoyable for me.
>>340562795
You can't fit all of them at the same time. If there's a sequel, Nerzhul will do his thing and try to open the gate once more. Nerzhul comes afterwards. The razing of Stormwind hasn't come yet, if the movie had a direct sequel, it would include that.
>>340559805
>>340562589
I think i'm in love.
>>340562795
There's a long time before that.
What's worrying is what'll happen with the Second War.
Stormwind doesn't get razed, and in the end of the movie the Alliance is formed, meaning that it doesn't make sense for Stormwind to get decimated now that they're allied.
Doomhammer fucks off, so Gul'dan becomes the leading figure of the Horde, meaning that we don't know how Lothar will die (he probably won't, since normies wouldn't like having the handsome lead dying), meaning more deviations.
>>340563189
Ner'zhul is literally the master of Gul'dan.
If he didn't appear now he's as good as gone.
>>340553345
>Orcs are supposed to be only a few inches taller than humans
>2x the size in the movie
Why?
>>340557434
Yes thats true about WH but this is WC, also he's right, the first 2 games the Orcs were RIP AND TEAR led by megalomaniac dark sorcerer
>>340563686
Average human size during medeval era is around 5'5. Average orc is almost twice that with around 7-8 ft. Not inches, but feets.
Plus the orcs in the movie have just taken the demon blood as well.
>>340560989
WoD is alternative timeline. Doomhammer didn't trust Blackhand in either timeline. He was the one that killed Blackhand later on in the regular timeline.
>>340564226
There's no demon blood in the movie.
Gul'dan turns orcs green with fel magic.
>>340562685
>The humans wearing obviously plastic armor doesn't help either.
Considering WoW and Diablo 3 have armour that looks like inflated rubber or glow-in-the-dark plastic, it's fitting.
The last time Blizzard designed armour that looked like it was made out of metal was Diablo 2
>>340564494
>He says while posting some twink

>>340564226
Wut.
Orcs don't even reach 7 feet standing upright
>>340564717
Ingame mechanic vs novelization
>>340564451
I'm pretty sure most of the orcs drank the demon blood prior to opening the dark portal. They drank and attacked the draeneis. From what I saw, the movie starts with the draenies being captured and being sacrificed to open the dark portal. So I assume they already did their attack.
>>340564717
>the undead human is taller than the living human when he stands upright
You shouldn't trust WoW's metrics to begin with. In the lore Tauren are 10-12 feet tall and they're obviously not that huge in your pic.
>>340561210
The orcs are dumb but they follow tradition/honor and leadership.
>>340564982
>Ingame mechanic
The "ingame mechanic" is that tauren were so fucken large they clipped doorways until Blizz fixed it
>>340565150
They literally submit to Gul'Dan before the grand fight. But after the grand fight they've decided to change their mind again
>>340564226
I have to say Gul'Dan looks pretty god damn cool.
>>340564226
>WoD is alternative timeline. Doomhammer didn't trust Blackhand in either timeline. He was the one that killed Blackhand later on in the regular timeline.
True, but he was still a member of the Blackrock clan.
>>340565364
This is what you get when you try to control a group through fear. Its not consistent because as soon as the orcs forget fear, they return to rationalization.
>>340555021
>>340556269
This stuff doesn't look bad, but then there's shit like this.

Watched it today.
Wanted to watch Warcraft movie ever since Warcraft 3.
Is it good? Well... yeah it is. I enjoyed watching it. I expected nothing much but it kept my attention and it has decent story and characters to follow.
Could they do it better? Yeah but it is by no means a "video game movie" tier.

I didn't even mention the word "lore" in my post.
The movie is awful.
The acting is bad, the plot is incoherent, the pacing is a mess, and no amount of "EPIC GAME REFERENCES LMAO" will save it from being hot shit.
>>340559805
No rules against using warlock magic in a fight.
Since Gul'Dan pretty much invented it in the eyes of orcs.
>>340556893
nerzhul wasnt even there in warcraft 1, you fucking mongloid, during warcraft 1, nerzhul was chilling in shadowmoon
Must have hurt.
>>340566780
They tried to leave immediately after.
They changed their mind when Gul'Dan soulraped three of them.
>>340567104
>nerzhul wasnt even there in warcraft 1
Neither was Gul'dan in the actual game, but since we don't get a mention of shamanism or any clan that isn't Frostwolf, Ner'zhul is as good as gone.
>>340567148
>guns in the first war

How so? Orcs's world is resourceless, they try to conquer Human's world to get more resources for their race, Humans try to defend themselves while figuring out who is their enemy, some Orcs along with Durotar notice that the Fel will make the New World perish like his old one, so they rebel against Gul'Dan. How is this a Incoherent plot?

Hell, you can see it is out of sync.
>>340568865

Nice meme
>>340567827
Because it doesn't feel like a war at all.
It's supposed to be a huge invasion but 90% of the fighting happens offscreen while you watch epic quips between Khadgar and Lothar.
And then when you get to the end of the movie you find out half the human army has been already decimated.
Everything related with Garona doesn't make any sense, it's not explained why she's enslaved by Gul'dan although that doesn't matter, however he's trapped by the humans, in one scene they thrust her enough to ask for her help, and she falls in love with Lothar after one conversation and a half.
Gul'Dan is a dictator that dishonors himself and loses the opinion of the people, yet they still go to war for him and fight for him two scenes after.
The characterization of the orcs is all over the place, on one scene they're honorable warriors that value 1v1 honorable combat and on the next they're glorifying a backstabber that murdered the enemy on his back despite having killed dozens of orcs by switching sides.
There are several nations that refuse to help for some unspecified reason, and when Llane dies they all apparently run to offer their help.
The humans do fucking nothing during all the movie, even when they know everything there is to know after capturing Garona, they do nothing while they lose settlement after settlement.
I've already forgotten most of them, I can't be bothered.
>>340558282
It was to put her in a position of power amongst the orcs. Because killing the enemy king would bring her great honor among the Orc clans. Did you even watch the movie?
>>340569094
Yeah, and all the humans hate her in result, even Lothar.
Sure thing the humans will want to pact peace with the cunt that murdered their king on his back.
Retard.
>>340569051
This is the initial raiding party, not the full invasion. They were trying to open the portal again so the FULL INVASION would take place.
>>340568957
yeah that's how he gets his name
>>340567148
>blew his fucking hand off
This movie just looks like it's a 50/50 blend of fucking awesome scenes like this and then fucking terrible ones like >>340566265
>>340569229
I'm not saying it was perfect in any way. But the king was bound to die anyway, and this was the best possible outcome at the given time. Shit for brains.
>>340569260
Doesn't change the fact that by the end of the movie the humans have lost three settlements and like half their legions without retaliating.
The point is that there's no conflict at all, the movie feels like a combination of SoL orcs doing orc stuff and humans doing politics and stuff until the end comes and a fight happens.
>>340569260
Haven't seen the movie yet, but Garona isn't old enough for the initial raiding party.
Later for the full invasion she is though.
>>340569348
Why is he brown

Thankfully the romance shit is minimal. If I was the director, this would be removed but they still need to appease the women/normie crowd with romance.
>>340569648
Because blizzard decided in tbc that orcs were brown before demons
because human shot at it

>>340570804
Yep
This movie is pure vidyakino.
>>340570804
Its close enough, small details might have changed but the people are same. There might be minor lore issues but thats mainly because they were not mentioned, like Blackhand clan (not mentioned in movie) but might already exist.

>>340571679

Literally everything in that post happens during the First War, before the Alliance is formed.
>>340571958
>>340570907
i just realized he threw his shoes at the guard in that scene and from there on he's fucking barefoot for the rest of the movie
>>340572079
Alliance hasn't been formed yet. First war hasn't taken place either. The movie is pre-First War. The end of the movie is when the Alliance is about to be formed and when the war truly takes place.
>>340572106
What am i supposed to be looking at

>doomhammer is a frostwolf
when he meets up with guldan he calls them both "warlords"
aka doomhammer has his own fucking clan but just hangs out with durotan
you know, like in the game
I dunno, you see gray Kargath (with an arm blade too) in the movie. Grom is a literal green reskin of WoD's Grom. Gul'dan is clearly taken from WoD's model (down to the spikes).
No clue why they didn't do the same with Blackhand.
>>340572209
>Alliance hasn't been formed yet
Alliance is formed during the last scene, in which the dwarves and elves agree to help Azeroth.
>First war hasn't taken place either.
First war ends with the razing of Stormwind and the birth of the Alliance.
The first thing won't happen, but the second did, so yes, this is the First War.
>>340572209
Alliance got formed after Kingdom of Stormwind got raped by big green orc cock, anon
>>340572209
What about floating Dalaran that didn't happen till after Second war?
Or Khadgar not being Medivhs apprentice or even part of Kirin Tor?
Small things having a major impact.
>>340572345
Doomhammer wasn't warlord of the Blackrock, that was Blackhand.
>>340572345
Neither Doomhammer nor Duratan in original game lore didnt trusted Guldan. In movie its the same situation, except they now talk with each other as trusted friends.
>>340572390
I think they are rearranging the timeline a little bit. Stormwind should still be razed with bit different timeline, assuming the Horde at the end of the movie didn't just stop.
>>340567153
So much for being a tribe guided for honor, to accept the loss from a cheat, and to accept the fucking cheater as their honorable leader.
But oh wait, they bust him for the exact same fucking thing like 10 min later in the movie as if it didnt just happen, and this time he just goes hrghm fine whatever when his plans clash with the honor code of the orcs.
Fucking retarded
>>340572550
>its called the floating city of dalaran
>one fucking retarded movie reviewer complains that the character who was named "dalaran" had very little screentime
for fucks sake
>>340572763
Why is Dalaran even floating
>>340572841
you should ask him
>>340572631
But how can Stormwind get razed if the Alliance is already there?
The reason why Azeroth lost in the First War is that it fought alone, if instead of Azeroth you have Ironforge, Lordaeron, Quel'Thalas and every single kingdom in the continent it doesn't make sense for them to lose.
>>340572550
Daralan/Kirin Tor is neutral in this war. Dalaran already existed before the second war.
Khadgar/Medivh met and Khadgar was kinda respecting Medivh due to Khadgar being a ex-student of Kirin Tor. They both seem to know each other.
>>340569348
Only real good part is when gol'dun and the other orc duke it out.
Until gol'dun starts using drain touch and cheapens the whole thing. Which is like three punches and one horn snapped in
>>340572916
You can still lose a city or two even if everyone had each other's back.
Alliance doesn't mean invincible.
>>340562589
Double Toasted did a review of it and said basically this as people who have not played the games.
>Ork stuff is amazing, Orks when by themselves have probably the best CGI ever seen in film (though it looks weird when they are with humans)
>Humans apart from tweeked out Viking dude is all terrible and no fun allowed
>Weird pacing and characterization issues
>It's a solid rental if you you don't care about warcraft, go watch it if you do care (based on Warcraft nerds in the cinema they were at going crazy and crying and shit)
>if the entire film was just Orks it would be 10/10.
One of the more interesting things they said, and remember the Double Toasted guys are part of the Academy and are academy voters:
>The only reason other critics hate this film so much is because it's a video game movie, they hated it before they even saw it because of a bias against video games. Anyone saying this is the worst blockbuster movie of the year is full of shit.
>>340572934
>Daralan/Kirin Tor is neutral in this war. Dalaran already existed before the second war.
Yes it did, on the ground, in Alterac Mountains until Archimonde destroyed it. Then it was rebuild and flown to Northrend
>Khadgar/Medivh met and Khadgar was kinda respecting Medivh due to Khadgar being a ex-student of Kirin Tor. They both seem to know each other.
At the time Khadgar was sent by Kirin Tor to "spy" on Med as his apprentice. He had to earn his trust as an assistant helping with library when after a small skirmish with Orcs, Med introduces Khadgar to Anduin as his apprentice.
Movie is fucked
>>340573357
>rebuilt and flown to northrend
fucking wrathbabbies
it was assaulted by the undead plague and was uprooted to escape the poison
>>340573639
Nice headcanon
>>340573639
But my point still stands that it wasn't a floating city until that moment.
But I guess the movie needed some epic CGI location for a 5 second panoramic shot and teaser clips.
>>340573825
It might simply be a simple change to give Dalaran some "epic" mystical feel to it. They made it float afterwards, why not before? Thats probably the line of thought when they did it.
>>340573119
Not sure who that guy is, but thats my take on it roughly.
The movie should be good for most warcraft players.
>>340573119
>Orks when by themselves have probably the best CGI ever seen in film
lmao
they look like they're straight out of a PS3 CGI intro. best CGI, my ass
>>340556789
>Stormwind doesn't get razed
U FOCCING WOT M8E
IM FOAMING AT ME MOUTH
>Just reread the Arthas book
>The part with the incoming Stormwind refugees was awesome
>That might be retconned
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>tfw they'll even retcon the "honorabru Lothar vs Doomhammer" duel that is apparently canon
They are even retconning their own retcons.
>>340573946
>why not before?
Because it makes fuckall sense considering it got sieged during the 3rd war by fucken undead and destroyed by Archimonde. Kael and Garithos arriving bit late to the party and duking it out with remainder undead and themselves
>>340574147
>wanting wc3 film directed by duncan
lmao at ur life
>>340573946
I get that. I really do. All the lore changes, they had to condense it for a movie.
But they can't expect both WoW players and general audience to like it. You can have only one.
Me personally? I couldn't finish the movie because the lore changes made it difficult to enjoy it. I love 'The Last Guardian' book, which is canon, or not anymore in the cinematic universe.
I just got shafted by Metzen. Thank god I pirated the movie
>first human-side scene of the movie
>dwarf holds up a gun but doesnt fire it
FUCK, LITERALLY CHEKHOV'S GUN, THIS MOVIE IS GOING TO BE SHIT
>guy uses it in a fight out of nowhere
oh, cool, i guess they didnt forget about that
>he has it hidden in one scene to remind people it still exists
wait what the fuck are they planning now
>final battle, everyone has a fucking gun and they're fucking blasting the fuck out of the orcs, they're even reloading them and handing out new ones to fire
that itself made me realize this movie had some semblance of thought put into it
>>340574314

I don't even know if you're kidding or not.
Did this happen?
I haven't seen the movie.
It sounds like the dumbest thing ever.
>>340574348
Its a sliding scale, fuckface
>Normies - - - - - | - - - - - Spergs

>>340574553

lmao at your gay life
>>340574713
Yeah.
Apparently the dwarves agreed to help the humans and provide them with weapons.
Offscreen, of course.
>>340574806
the dwarves do complain on camera, in the only other scene they appear, that "we have already provided you with weapons, we cannot supply any more" or something like that
its when they're bickering to each other in the round table
>>340574806
They can't possibly lose the war with fucking firearms
>>340574982
Once the numbers start coming in from the portal and more fel magic infused orcs start popping up, they might lose.
>>340574982
They do because those fucking retards charge at the orcs while shooting.
They
fucking
charge
with
firearms
>>340574806
Jesus.
I was beginning to think that the movie might actually be good, but given that I'm a fan of warcraft because of wc1-3 not WoW, probably not.
At a social gathering through my brother in law, one of his brothers was talking about how the movie was good, but he's a fan because of WoW so I guess it makes sense for him to not be annoyed by seeing guns in the movie, they've always been there as far as he's concerned.
>>340574723
well from reviews nobody fucking likes the movie
critics not invested in lore dont get it
lorefags bitch about changes made
they tried to accommodate both, got niether
>>340575126
>first prototype gun to use in war
>WHERE ARE THE FUCKING 1 MILE RANGE SNIPERS WITH LASERS
REEEEEEEEEEE
>>340575126
to be fair famalam, they needed to stop the portal, they were the agressors in that battle and if all they did was set up a defensive line then the orcs can just sit still and portal would just open up.
>>340575198
>they tried to accommodate both, got niether
I think nu-wow fans like the movie, while old lore fans don't like it.
>>340575198
Lorefags will ALWAYS complain about any change in lore.
This is for 80% of the WoW players with little bit of lore knowlege.
>>340553345
My problem is all the humans look like boys still, I want manly men to play them. All the humans in Warcraft are ridiculously proportioned but it feels like they went in the opposite direction when picking actors. This is despite giving the orcs the same look as they have in game.
>>340575241
Well, that would make sense if not for the fact that the orcs also charged to meet them, which makes charging pointless when you have ranged weapons.
>>340575198
>the entire world is either a fucking art snob or an autistic lorewhore
>there is no middle ground and by no means does this imaginary middle ground consist of the entirety of china
quite the opposite my man
>>340575341
Because being a Blizzard lorefag is suffering.
Since WC3 Metzen has been in his coke-fueled madness has been proactively retconning literally everything about WC1/WC2.
Nothing is fucking safe, those games might as well not exist.
>>340575381
Fucking this
I mean Lothar and the King look like fucking mantlets. I can't complain about Khadgar because he was like kid and a mage but fcuking lothar
wtf man
>>340553345
I was hoping the critics were wrong and out of touch but no.. the movie is pretty damn bad. And that come from someone who loved the hell out of WC3.
It tries so hard to be like LOTR, to be epic and big. Sometimes it hits, but most of the time it misses. The acting performance is incredibly bad for everything that isn't an orc. Costumes looked cheap,The filming itself wasn't great either with many scenes that looked fake and out of place. Oh and the story is complete shit.
Torrent it boys, it's really not worth watching in theaters.
>>340574410
>First War
>Firearms
>Warcraft without the ridiculous 40 year tech creep from effectively medieval times to science fiction
>Not starting with Warcraft 2 and 2 movies and making a Warcraft 1 prequel never
>Not forking over the cash to make the movie properly good and kickstart yourself a money printing cinematic universe
>>340575341
Because decent writers write the lore and then dont uproot massive details. If it must happen doing something in universe but it's massively shit tier to just switch established details.
>>340575542
Well fuck you, my nigga.
i already watched it twice in the theaters, and will a third this weekend with my boys.
>>340575690
I'm sure you will anon.
>>340575584
>>Not starting with Warcraft 2 and 2 movies and making a Warcraft 1 prequel never
If they desperately wanted an alliance and seeing humans team up with elves and dwarves they really should've done that.
Even though I think Warcraft 1 could be a great movie.
>>340575584
>Warcraft without the ridiculous 40 year tech creep from effectively medieval times to science fiction
Only reason the tech creep happened is due to the Alliance being formed, which is due to orcs invading, which is due to Burning Legion using everyone as a puppet
>>340575542
>literally the only thing all critics agree on are the amazing cgi, sets, and costumes
>they'll complain the sets are misplaced, the cgi is too good and jarring vs the non-cgi, or that the elaborate costumes are draped on little tiny baby boy children actors
>but they all agree those three things are good
literally "i saw the chinese camrip only" the post
>>340575736
I will.
and i was one of them niggas shitposting the fuck out of the movie before it came out on my shithole country.
I guess i'm too much of an orc fanboy, and the orcs are 10/10 in the movie.
>>340566647
Well they got Chris fucking Metzen at the writing so...
>>340575439
I dont get why this guy is so suprised, seems like asking him for help seems like a logical idea in that scenario
>>340575889
The chinese is a 720p rip anon, it's not a camrip.
>>340575341
>Lorefags will ALWAYS complain about any change in lore.
You shouldn't change past events because it would make this thing you just thought of work.
Instead you should build on the rich history and lore you already have.
But with large franchises like this when you have no one that policies this shit at the top properly it falls a part.
Then you get fanfic writers who decide to send their alter ego back in time to fight in the Battle of Tours.
>>340576006
They just don't care about it they like to change shit to fit what they want in the present.
>>340576006
Blizzard has creative control over the lore. If they change it, its THE lore.
Anyone sticking to the old lore are the fanficfags.
>>340575889
>Amazing costumes
Not that anon but are you kidding? Most costumes looked so fake they looked right out from Xena Warrior princess.
>watched it in the third world
>thought it was good
>no one believed me and /v/ continued its shitposting for "video game movies"
>anon here starts posting webm
>some anons are actually liking it
>but some retard anons will end up hating it fully even if they like it a little bit because they wanna stay entitled to their opinion and be cool because what they think at 4chan is REALLY important for them
>>340575824
>>340575584
there is literally nothing stopping them from just making "Warcraft 2: The burning Legion" in another few years and you both will fucking drop your pants at the official announcement of "Warcraft 3: Throne of Arthas"
dont pretend you wont see those movies becasue the first one didnt "set up a cinematic universe"
because you'd be only lying to yourselves
>>340576124
>literally defending retcons
>literally defending Metzen
Kill yourself.
>>340576245
I'd watch them the same way I watched this one.
Pirating it.
Fuck giving money to Blizzard.
>>340576245
>and you both will fucking drop your pants at the official announcement of "Warcraft 3: Throne of Arthas"
Why would I?
What's so special about a Warcraft 3 movie compared to a Warcraft 1 movie that would make me cream my pants?
I played wc1-wc3.
Haven't seen the warcraft 1 movie yet.
>>340576274
Not defending, but rather stating facts. If you disagree with the creative owners and directors, you're the fanficfag. You have no control or rights or ownership of the lore. Therefore if you deviate from the official stance, you are the fan and your beliefs are fiction.
>Watched it
>Blizzard told Uwe Boll to fuck off when he asked if he could direct the movie
Turns out that didn't matter at the end.
>>340576124
>Blizzard has creative control over the lore. If they change it, its THE lore.
Yes? So what?
I said they shouldn't change past events. Instead expand upon them.
Retcons is lazy writing.
>>340576475
I'm not disagreeing with them, I'm saying that they're garbage and there's no reason to take seriously anything they write if they'll just retroactively change it the moment they stop liking it.
If you still care about Warcraft lore to this day and age you objectively like to eat shit.

I was one of the anons shit talking the movie before it released.
I watched it opening day here in brazil.
first thing i did when i got home was post a thread saying people to ignore all the shitposting.
Watched the movie again the day after.
I don't care about what /v/ says, i liked the movie, a lot.
My only real complaint is that the movie needed to be much longer.
what the fuck is wrong with sargeras possessed medivh. assuming if thats even what that was in the movie universe
muh honorable monsters

this so much.
and get Zack Snyder to be a co director. i know it sounds crazy, but Zack is god tier when it comes to adaptations.
it's not a perfect movie, but anyone saying that it was abysmal or the worst movie of all time like some anons are retarded, and probably watched the whole movie declaring (not assuming) it was bad and nitpicking every scene.
