It was good, I went in with no expectations and was surprised.
>>342129187
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*crack*
>>342128927
Warcraft was easily an 8/10, haters gonna hate. The only problem I had with it was that it was too short and oddly paced at the beginning.
>>342128927
What was /v/'s opinion of it? That it wouldn't sell?
>>342130195
Everyone and their grandmother knew it was gonna sell, just like how the asscreed movie is going to make millions. The movie is just pure crap.
Interesting, but it is better than clear skies?

It wasnt a terrible movie but it wasnt mind blowing. The CGI was pretty good but it didnt mix well with the humans in some parts and the action was great. Acting could have been better. a 7/10 id say

Well, that was dumb.
How soon for League of Legends adaptation?
>>342128927
Success does not = it's good.
If that was true EA would be nothing but good games. They make their money by sort of rubberbanding a game through intense marketing and using dev loyalty. The actual game is made by perpetually cycled in low-experience devs to make it as cheaply as possible and then launch it with so much hype that they make over twice their money back by idiots taking the bait.
This film had quite the stretched rubber band built up by years of hype. Doesn't matter how bad it was, The rubber band was going to release ahead.
If there is a sequel, there will be diminishing return due to how bad this current film is.
>>342128927

What about Angry Birds movie?
>>342128927
Oh hey it's this thread again
Fuck off shill. Not video games.
>>342131231
It is with friends, playing with random people is suffering, though.
>>342131735
And you not liking it doesn't make it bad though I doubt you have the self awareness to see that.
>>342128927
Angry Birds got 327M$ as well so relative to that it didn't exactly do good at all, considering it cost at least twice as much to do then the Angry Bird one.
In fact with 377M$ it barely breaks even with marketing costs added in.
>>342132085
Go back to your Breath of the NintendoGAF threads fuckboi
>>342128927
This thread seems familiar. kys marketer
>>342131910
It's a rubber band analogy, different from the term "rubberbanding".
I could have used a sling shot analogy instead.

I'll always wonder why /v/ is terrible at analogies.
>>342132781
Angry Birds was actually decent
Doing well in China alone doesn't make it a good movie.
it's "successful" aka it bombed in every country that matters, except China.
>>342133063

>>342128927
I don't even play Wow, and I thought the movie was a massive disappointment.
>>342128927
I went into the movie expecting to just scream "WHAT THE FUCK!!" at every scene, but ended up enjoying it more than I thought.
Wasn't a great movie, but it's the most faithful adaptation of a video game movie I've ever seen.
Not faithful to the lore, but the structure of Warcraft's storytelling.
>>342128927
Watched it yesterday and I have literally no idea why people hate it. If anything it put me in the mood for warcraft and I've been reading the books and playing the games again.
It was a solid action movie and it had a pretty good story to it and some good actors.
I would legitimately love to see a sequel.
>>342132875
>>most succesful movie
most successful movie 'adaptation of a video game.'
yeah that sure is saying a lot when this is your competition.
>>342129040
>the only country that matters
>>342132891
You think of a better one that described hype + strong franchise loyalty as potential energy that can shoot a slow moving object (natural movement equating to it's actual quality) into a field of success before it's consumers realize how shit it is?
>>342132875
>Countless people paid to see it so it's successful
>Everyone who saw it hated it.
understand yet?
>>342133426
>Surpassing your rivals doesn't prove anything
Yeah right because competition isn't the basis of economy.
>>342133013
Neither does doing well anywhere for that matter.

>if we paid our debt to China their economy would crash
>if we don't pay our debt to China their economy will crash

This is the turning point where China begins to heavily influence Hollywood.
And since China hates everyone except asians and whites they will ironically push back against diversity pandering.
What about the Resident Evil movies?
Lets take a look at those scores and revenue.

But that isn't true. The only people shitting on it are critics.
>>342134008
Wait a minute. Angry birds made 330 millions?
>>342134141
I don't know anybody who hates the movie, and I know a lot of people who have seen it.
Of course it's an anecdote, but if as many people hate it as you suggest, I think I'd know at least one person who passionately hates it as much as you do.
I'm a huge Warcraft fanboy and as such I enjoyed the movie.
I thought the first half really struggled though, the pacing was really bad and the humans weren't done too well.
From what I've gathered, 40 minutes was cut from the movie, and I imagine most of that content was at the start of the movie, director's cut should be interesting.
I was super worried the movie wouldn't do well. It doesn't seem too friendly to people unfamiliar with the lore. Seeing things like this makes me hopeful for better sequels, maybe get a nice Burning Legion intro?
Have some Kargath in the meantime.
>>342134084
Look at that pathetic total gross, and then re-think your opinion.
>>342134361

>>342129040
Funny thing is, once film makers realize china is the biggest money maker, the movie industry will start to pander their tastes instead of murricans. Video games will follow and in 50 years, china is the globally spoken language instead of english.
Good thing is, we will probably get rid of sjw pandering due to cultural differences.
>>342134008
>The Spirits Within has the best RT score
Actually I guess I can see that. If I completely divorce it from Final Fantasy, it wasn't bad as a concept. CG definitely did not age well however.
>>342133875
>asians and white
You mean chinese and whites.
>>342134607
I believe the studio made the director cut it because they didn't want the movie running too long as it would turn off casual movie-goers.
I get the reasoning, just a shame it happened.
>>342129040
And in 2025 then Warcraft the movie 3 is released my country India will be the most important market

That is nearly at warcraft's total gross. Does that mean its a good movie?
This garbage movie took 8 years to make. I can't fathom how Duncan Jones will still have a career after this.
I can't fathom how Blizzard thought this would entice people to sub to WoW. All it did was reveal how fucking retarded Warcraft is and how out of touch Blizzard is with both the movie industry and game industry.
Yet they still make money. Do they use tax loopholes or something?
Silent Hill was a better video game to movie, they got Radha Mitchell when she was still hot.

>Tron: Legacy
>$170 million budget
>$400 million box office
Yet Disney that has all the money in the world still pulled the plug on a sequel. And this is a movie with a much higher domestic gross.
Tron Legacy was called a flop and this was never debated but now suddenly Blizzard shills want to call this movie anything but
>>342135671

Sorry Chinacuck but China is going to have its bubble burst almost as bad as Japan's did.
>>342135339
First I wouldn't stick it too hard to Duncan Jones. The reason Sam Raimi left the project years earlier is because he spent time writing a supposedly good script only to have the Metzen and friends scrap it and write their own for him.
This means that the C-devs intended to have their scripts and their creative control no matter who was directing. Duncan might as well hadn't been there, but blizzard obviously doesn't know how to direct a set so they needed him.
WoW has a huge fandom that will eat whatever is on their plate, back when I was playing WoW I knew people on the lore forums who would eat up whatever blizzard shat on their plate in terms of story, with most placing their tipping point on a specific thing like their racial lore. Warcraft simply has a massive, tolerant community that will go through mental gymnastics to preserve the time waster they've put on their life. Even people who have long since abandoned the game and blizzard probably went to see the film hoping for some nostalgia.
>>342135436
I said low estimate, and at least a double for marketing. Most likely it actually cost over 200M$ to make it and over 200M$ for marketing, so 370M$ is no where near what they wanted for this its not even close to acceptable which would be around 500M$.
For a movie this size all studios want it to do over 1B$ or close to it, like 800M$, that's what they think when they think whether they'll give it a greenlight or no.
>>342136073
It's going to be worse, because the Chinese government controls and fund everything, remember?
>>342135671
Have you never wondered why there are so many Resident Evil movies?
The global market is important.
>>342135839

It's pretty fucking pathetic. All these degenerates who still give these hacks money. I've been pushing for Blizzard, especially WoW topics to be banned from /v/ for awhile but the mods are massive drones. Just goes to show what a dump this board has become.
>>342136083
>Even people who have long since abandoned the game and blizzard probably went to see the film hoping for some nostalgia.
Can confirm this is me
Movie was better than I expected it would be
>>342135645
Uwe Boll chooses a videogame to make a movie about, ignores everything about the game other than it's most basic concepts and then fills it with bad acting and a nonsense plot.
The joke is that he'd be an ok director if he actually tried, but he uses a loophole in german tax law or something to make revenue from films regardless if they're bad.
As proof, watch his film Rampage it's pretty good.
>>342135645
>what happened?
Probably just shitty RT way of measuring things, and the current generation of "movie critics", just look at the Marvel-shit that gets top scores in RT and you should be convinced that their rating system is seriously bogged.
this means another movie is guaranteed coming. First arc is boring but after this with Thrall and everyone else, it's going to be good. I rated this movie a 7.5/10. Gonna be another couple of years but oh well

>>342136153
>>342136153
indirect revenue is how they make money back. the dvd/blue ray, possible small toy lines. All that shit costs almost nothing to make once the movie is done.
>>342135339
Overwatch sold a lot, D3 is the highest selling PC game ever, and Hearthstone prints money despite having a super small dev team.
And you wonder how they make money?

>>342128927
I heard the movie is getting mixes reviews. What did Warcraft fans here think of the movie (both as its own thing and as part of Warcraft)? I played WoW before and didn't like the game but I do enjoy Warcraft lore.
>>342128927
I liked it, but I could see how someone could dislike it if they didn't already like the games.
HOW DID THIS SHIT GET POPULAR JUSTTT
>>342137382
It probably follows the lore about 50%. Only a couple of the retcons are actually dumb IMO.
You can tell a lot of content was cut, there's a good movie in there, but it stumbles a lot. Still better than I expected, the special effects were top notch, as was the sound.
Critics are just giddy to shit all over it. If you're a fan of Warcraft lore, you may like it, unless you're a purist that tantrums over any adaptations made.

One was made because it was necessary, it was a site threatening phenomenon.
/vp/ was made because /v/ will latch on to any excuse to attack something because "everything is shit and I want you to suffer" to the point where merely a day of seeing a thread of the same topic makes them enraged.
It's just as bad as /a/ where they forced /m/ into existence because Gundam wasn't mindless weeb cutsey shit and actually good anime, but in that case the /m/ community is objectively superior.
>>342134008
Movie reviews are just circlejerking about Warcraft. They thought they had something safe to haughtily piss on and then china bitchslapped them.
>>342138148
A movie's success can have little to do with how good it is.
Typically films that are really good are sleeper hits that form cult followings after people who look into it discover that it's really good and share it over time, where as it failed on initial release for not pandering enough to "everyone" (I.E 2001 a space odyssey, passed off as boring on release).
Bad films can be successful based on marketing and lowest common denominator pandering. A lot of the market just wants to stare at mindless action and the films are backed by the kind of investors that try to appeal to everyone. This mentality always leads to bad decisions that make a film shitty but more appealing in the trailers. The money from these investors also makes marketing easier and more marketing can lead to more people going to see it.
Finally, things like hype (such as warcraft) and star power can lead to success.
This is how Adam Sandler films succeed, by getting a lot of stars.
>>342138148
>china bitchslapped them

>>342137382
Of the movie itself? it's pretty bad. You could probably salvage a decent movie out of it if you fixed early pacing, which is also where the humans get the most screentime. One movie for each perspective would have been nice, but obviously there are other problems that would rise up from having to make two movies.
The actual story very loosely follows Warcraft 1, but it screws up a lot of details, either to make characters more sympathetic, so they could insert modern WoW writing, or because Blizzard has extremely limited foresight in where they're going with sequels. Also so they could make Thrall a green moses, which was one of the dumbest fucking bits in the movie.
A couple of the action scenes were alright, mostly because they featured all plot important characters that were doing anything of interest at the time. The scene switching was pretty fucking awful though, like they were incapable of focusing on one thing for any length of time unless they had to.
I think they only thing really got right was the overall Orc design, and a few visual references here and there. Which I'm pretty sure is where most of the 'I liked the movie!' shit comes from, people lapping up the WC locations and shit like a Murloc in the early parts that watches characters cross a bridge. Little things that would be a lot cooler if the movie didn't deviate so much and wasn't in a hurry to get to the ending.

I think the idea is that you're already supposed to know the lore, pacing was still shit though.
it was ok.
My only complaint was the scene with King Llaine and Garona towards the end.
AssCreed will fix that by being the most successful and most faithful movie adaptation
>>342129187
I went in expecting it to totally rewrite the story so it's just shit Orcs VS Human with barely anything truly Warcraft, but it's did surprisingly well despite some retcon

Square were ahead of their time.
Honestly, I liked it.
Cinematically, it was kinda bad. No pacing, and the story was frantically pushed to move as quick as possible to drop battle scenes on us. But over all good CG and decent shots.
Theatrically, the acting for the humans was awful. They felt stale and overacted most of their scenes. Orc actors was better because it was CG.
Plotwise, it got a minor set of things wrong. But so minor and inconsequential I can accept the retcons. I wanna see WC2 and 3 done. But I hope they get closer to the original lore.
It was very unfriendly to people who don't know a damn about Warcraft.

thumbs up anon, telling us you liked it and then telling us about all the ways in which it was shit
you're in line with all the positive reviews on rotten tomatoes
can someone tell me why this movie is supposed to be good?
not even the people that like it can say
>>342128927
I know what I wasn't doing.Watching the movie
>>342149385
Because while it was cinematically bad, the scenes it was building towards were executed perfectly. Overall bad, but good where it counts.
Theatrically, I have no defense for this. Seriously.
Plotwise, it's a good and faithful retelling. It isn't bad, the things got wrong were mostly written out or inconsequential anyways.
Though it is still only amazing for people who enjoy warcraft, it's a good movie besides.Better than most of the crap that hits the silver screen. And better than most video game adaptations.

>Overall bad, but good where it counts.
this makes no sense
>faithful retelling
wrong, it's a different story
>Blizz makes something that sells. >Haters cry rivers they can't hate blizz to death.
Same story over and over. The tears of idiots never stop.
China has ruined movies. They're the reason trash like Terminator Genysis is getting turned into a trilogy, and why films like Doctor Strange have to make story changes to appease the Chinese government.
went and watched it with 2 friends and we all agreed it was great and felt true to the franchise.
Now im just waiting another 10 years for a fucking sequel...
>>342128927
>Most successful of something that has never been successful
This is only a relative achievement, and says nothing about the actual success versus the investment.
>>342151104
You'll be waiting 3 years at the longest. The 10 year wait are for people who want to see a Warcraft 3 movie, since it's confirmed the planned Warcraft trilogy will be all about Warcraft 1.
>>342141005
wasn't just TORtanic.
fucking Spore and its downgraded bullshit and then all the games that were stated and shown to look both fun and great almost always turned out to be shit and if you are the type of guy who likes to eat shit, then by all means eat shit but keep it away from my proper pleasures you fucking savage.
The movie's biggest flaw is it's based on WC1. Which is really fucking lame.

The American market is the only one that counts when it comes to gauging the quality of American Hollywood movies.
Nobody gives a fuck if it made 500 million ching chong dollars in a country of 1 billion+ people who have completely different tastes and culture.
>>342128927
I mean, what was the fucking competition?Angry Birds and PoP were good.
>>342129040
>Americans still watch movies
What? The biggest market for movies is China, India would be second if they had more money to spend.
>>342151668
>Nobody gives a fuck
Except for the people trying to make a lot of money.
Went to see this last Friday. I had literally already forgotten that I had even gone to see it until I just saw this thread.
While it wasn't bad, it just wasn't good either. So easily forgettable.
I am not surprised it is making money, tons of people at the theater to see it. Making money ≠good though.
Critics will be wrong again 10 years from now, it's the new Fight Club and Bladerunner.
>>342146552
And most of the retcons were acceptable. Thralls green skin and how Garona killed the king were better imo
>>342138148
>b-but chinese "people" love this garbage, therefore its good!
Is COD suddenly the greatest videogame of all time?
>>342128927
It wasn't meant to be a serious movie, but a popcorn movie, and it was good at that
>>342128927
That doesn't say a lot.
Also, I'm pretty sure /v/ still isn't wrong about the movie sucking balls.
>>342128927

>>342141520
>china
>anything but a paper tiger
Fucking chicom shills, your nation is held up by strings. If the USA actually decided to do anything about you your nation's economy (and in some cases your entire nation) would be dead. Not that it matters, you'll be dead soon anyways. Just like the japs.
One can only hope you decide to declare war, so that you can get absolutely BTFO. But china would never do that, because they know the US would absolutely and utterly destroy china in a war.
>>342136890
It's a massive success considerin it's called Captain America
>>342134181
You should watch it. It's a perfect representation of the muslim invasion of Europe. Pigs = muslims. Owl = Merkel. Three main characters are black, red, and yellow (german flag.)
>>342151067
That trilogy is cancelled.
>>342128927
>Movie is a gigantic flop in the US
Thank fucking god. Surprisingly enough the US isn't so retarded than the rest of the world i guess
>>342154485
I can't believe they're still using 2 girls 1 cup on movie posters.
>>342152107
Thing is you get a much smaller percentage from foreign countries, even less from China.
>>342155396
And thank god for that. The movie was such a clusterfuck that not even China could save it.
Marvel has been lowest-common-denominator junkfood for a while now so I don't think China's interference really makes any difference at this point.
