They were thinking "hey, let's make an incredibly shitty low-budget Warcraft movie and secretly pocket the rest of the money."

Whatever they claimed their budget was, they pocketed at least half of that. Either that or they're just immensely incompetent. Actually, now that I think about it, it's probably the latter. There's that phrase "don't attribute to malice what you can attribute to incompetence", rings true to this day.

What was the budget? Even short CGI advertisements / trailers cost millions.

>>340953110
Apparently 160 million, which is an absolute disgrace for how shit the movie came out, but they did at least make a profit off it due to overseas popularity.

Technically, blood elves are supposed to look vicious/mana dependant and full of scars/runes because of their age with sharp male features.
It wasn't until wow that they pussyfied them and guess it's safe to asume high elves should look like a bit more controlled version of those.

High Elves became the Blood Elves after Arthas used the Sunwell to bring back kel'thuzad. They slowly started dying off or going crazy due to lack of mana. If you played Fallout imagine if the entire human race suddenly started turning into ghouls, with some dive bombing straight into ferals, but everyone going to be pure 100% feral in years. Then they went to Outland and discovered that they could metabolize Fel energy, and started doing that instead. Because Blood Elves are awesome and 'evolved' to metabolize energy rather than let it settle in their systems, they aren't corrupted by Fel energy except that it turns their eyes glowing green instead of blue.

Because a human leader was a dick to the blood elves and was literally going to execute their entire race because he only wanted pure humans on Azeroth, the Blood Elves escaped en mass to Outland. Later they returned to join with the Horde because humans might still want to kill them, Sylvanas an ex-ranger was queen of the forsaken, and the Horde would respect their strength without looking down upon them for not being human.

They need somewhere in the vicinity of 600 million to at least strike even. Ticket sales arent a 1:1 thing. And it continues to cost them money to keep it out in theatres and market.

Generally they need to make at least twice as much their production budget for a profit. But that was a standard from many years ago. Its often cited as at least 3 or more times. Considering how big the warcraft movies was meant to to be, 500-600 million is the often mentioned needed amount to be considered getting any profit.

>the end was written so poorly
Gul'dan is supposed to control the horde from the shadows, and he has other warlocks working under him.
Draenor isn't dying and a lot of orc clans remain there.
Blackhand is the warchief, but Gul'dan falls into a coma when Medivh dies, at which point Doomhammer kills Blackhand and takes control of the horde.
Doomhammer doesn't trust the warlocks and has them killed and makes Gul'dan submit to him as he wakes up.
Stormwind is sacked. Lothar, the prince and azeroth refugees flee north.

At the start she saw them as kindred spirits because they were both 'forsaken' by those they called allies. She also acted like she might like the idea of having her brethren part of the Horde fighting alongside her. Now she kinda acts like they are a part of her forces, but she still prefers to work with them over other units outside the Forsaken.

She also loves flirting/threatening Lor'themar, and she mentions multiple times that she plans on making him a consort when he dies and she brings him back. The failure of SoO if Lor'themar dies Sylvanis says "Finally, I can't wait to see how beautiful you are when I bring you back!" and then everything fades and raid is reset.

The pacing itself was pretty bad towards the middle and end.

It also gave you no sense in scale.

The first scene starts in Draenor, then Ironforge, then immediately cuts to Stormwind, then immediately cuts to Karazhan, then back to the Black Morass, back to Stormwind, then to Goldshire, then to Deadwind Pass, etc.

As someone who plays the game, I completely understood. My girlfriend however, had no clue how far they were traveling.

The sense of time from Stormwind to Goldshire was at least a 2 day travel.

Khadgar makes it all the way to Dalaran (which is floating? Uhh) in the far North lear Lordaeron. He is then immediately back to Stormwind to deliver news to the gang, and knew exactly what was happening after it was established Fel magic was incredibly dangerous and not well understood. Ben Foster acted the fuck out of his trainwreck of dialogue. The Medivh/Khadgar relationship was not properly translated.

The fight scenes between the Orcs were cool. The fight between Blackhand and Lothar was really bad. Gul'dan was cool, but again not properly translated from the novels.


The second movie will likely be a mashup of the ending of WC1 and some navy battles from WC2, culminating to the Battle of Blackrock, and the heroes going thru the Black Gate with the skull of Gul'dan.

The CGI is good. It looks shitty on Youtube, but it looked good on the silver screen.

>>340960781
>I know nothing about the film industry
Yeah you've proven that already, you didn't need to announced it a second time. As someone who was the assistant manager of a chain of theatres that spanned from Nevada to SoCal, who knows little about how movies make money, it's blatantly obvious that I still know more than whatever the fuck you're saying.

The fact of the matter is that profit is on a movie-by-movie basis, and trying to make any kind of sweeping claim that a movie is or isn't making a profit when you clearly don't fucking know, is fucking retarded.

For example, marketing costs, can be anywhere from 45% to 160% of a movie's production costs, but here you are, trying to spell out sweeping "average numbers" as if there's some market standard because you're just some tween on the internet that thinks he knows shit.

I bet you don't even fucking know the percentage of money that actually goes to the production studio from a movie ticket, you just know that it isn't 1:1, because that's a completely fucking obvious statement.

>>340959387
Jaina actually wasn't the original reason they joined the Horde, she just stopped the peace treaty the BE were trying to work between the Alliance and Horde by slaughtering a bunch of BE and even some Kirin Tor High Elves.

Originally the human general in charge of the Alliance forces in WC3 was evil as fuck and hated all non-human races. He seemed okay with the Dwarves because they were kind of like humanity's sidekick at that point. He forced the Blood Elves to hold a line separate from all other Alliance forces, gave them no aid, and sent them on a suicide mission. The Naga helped the BE under orders by their queen who used to be a Highbourne High Elf. The human leader saw this as treason and sentenced their entire race to be exterminated, throwing them into the same dungeons and camps they used to use to keep the Orc race as slaves before they escaped.

It's gonna be tough to fit in the latter part of wc1 with wc2, when wc2 is much longer than wc1.

I think you're right though, I just don't think they'll pull it off very well. There'll be annoying cuts.

Gul'dan has honestly become my favorite Warcraft character,

Huh, I guess I can see your point, you might be right. I wonder though, do over fifty percent of movies need double the budget to profit? I know that's probably a stupid question since you just said that it can vary wildly, but if it's true that over half of all movies need at least double their budget in profit, then his statement with "generally" would be accurate, although he maybe could have worded it better I suppose.

That's Batman v Superman reasoning in which they went overboard with promotion and ancillary costs. A negligible number of movie would turn profit with that equation to EVERY production and the whole industry would go bankrupt. Most movie turn profit when they double their budget and are certified success when they are able to do 3x at box office.

>People whining about retcons
Bowie Jr has said time and time again that the movie is BASED on the lore of WC1/Rise of the Horde/The Last Guardian and would have deliberate diferrences to to the source material. He also said it does not retcon or change the official canon as this is a diferent continuity. Even fucking Christie Golden who has written a bunch of books for the game & book canon has confirmed this on Twitter (she wrote 2 preview novels to the film continuity).


The movie canon influences the ACTUAL canon as much as the Game of Thrones series does to the books. I dont like Blizzard but yall gotta check your facts before you can start shitflinging.

That said the movie is a solid 7 for fans, 5 for non-fans imho. Duncan really tried to make it work. Hope we get a trilogy with a Rise & Fall of Arthas. The Culling would be so grimdark it would make normalfags cringe.

Beacuse the choice of words make it distinct and it portrays Medivhs arrogance, how much more powerful he is than Khadgar and other mages and it suggests how powerful the threats he deals with are.
It also serves as a threat to Khadgar.

Half the fun of Warcraft is all the weird races, cultures, locations and powers.

What's the point of just orcs and humans? You may as well leap right into it and establish stuff like pandaren, goblins, night elves and naga. I mean why not? Why can't the human and orc stuff be referenced and left up to audience interpretation? All you really need is some brief conflict where humans go "you tried to wipe out our world" and orcs go "yeah but we were enslaved and you put us in camps" and so on.

They had to cut 45min of footage, a few scenes like the orcs marching in Dun Murough for example are in the trailers. Gromm had lines aswell as other chieftans. The scene where Blackhand gets a new hand has a shot of Orgrimm, Kargath, Durotan, Grommash and Kilrogg standing next to each other. Nerzhul was not there, something in accordance with the ACTUAL canon, he was in a coma in Draenor. I loved how Gromm grabbed Lothars son sword without effort. I was expecting him to get instantly Gorehowld. Kargath is also seen fighting with the other chieftans. Gromm actually has a lot of silent screen time. Kargath is just pointing his arm blade and laughing near the end after the portal is closed.


Also an orc saying "me not dat kind of orc" in reference to following Guldan after he cheated was amazing. And Khadgar leveling up. And Blackhand saying KEK. And the polymorph. Só much tastefully and universe adequate fanservice

When I went to see it this fat nerd behind me muttered, "That's Azeroth..." in amazement at the Universal logo. Dumbass, that's Italy!

He also said "That's not canon!" when Khadgar mentioned "the floating city of Dalaran."

I saw this on a shitty vcr-tier chinese bootleg, so I couldn't really notice how bad the cgi shit was.

But god damn, the movie did not do orcs justice at all. So much for Duncan's bullshit about both sides getting some focus. Shit was 80% humans and 20% orcs. Every scene with the orcs felt unnatural, rushed, and shoehorned.

>You will never break out of prison to see the outside world after countless years locked away.
>You will never flinch as you hear some disturbance, thinking it's your Warden hot on your trail.
>You will never wake up, sweating in panic, from a nightmare of your Warden hunting you.
>You will never scream out in terror as at last Maiev finds you and drags your ass back to your cell.
>She will never force you to ear all your meals off the bottom of her boots.

Life is too cruel.

What's wrong with Khadgar being Nacho Libre? At least he isn't Medivh who looks like Steve the Pirate from Dodgeball
