Did you like it?
No, of course not, it's legitimately one of the worst movies i've watched in years.
Any good quality torrents out there? Every single one I've downloaded looks like a damn vhs
>>342408030
Why would there be anything but camrips right now?
>>342407881
Why?
I thought it was pretty fucking good. Yeah it fucked with the lore but it's better than anything Metzen could shit out. I fully expect this to turn into a whole series and I look forward to it.
>>342408030
There's plenty of them that look good but you can't expect Blu-Ray quality yet.
Bruh...
>>342408030
There's a decent telecom out right now, but don't expect dvd quality for awhile. Along with EXTENDED EDITION
>>342408176
>>342408212
Yeah I can deal with bad quality. I really don't care, but the ones that I've tried to dl are so bad that I can't even make out whats happening
>>342408319
Look for the DEVIVED rip. Video and audio are as good as you could get.
>>342408212
Being better than Metzen is no achievement, and the story is not decent enough to cover up the bad acting, the atrocious pacing, specially in the first half, the disjointed action or the simply awful dialogue.
Some scenes were straight out unwatchable due to how cringeworthy they were, specially where the orc girl flirted with the guy.
Not to mention the straight-to-DVD tier production values, even though this thing supposedly costed 160 million.
Don't know why they keep trying making videogame movies if they are only going to shit out garbage.
>>342408464
Thanks mayn
>>342408508
Sorry to break it you bub, but you're opinions are wrong.
>>342408508
I'm also baffled at how the cinematography was fucking TV show tier.
What's the point of getting Duncan Jones for this shit?
>>342407790
It was better than I expected. A decent high fantasy flick. Nothing too memorable, but considering how excited 12 year old me would have been to see this 13 years ago, I think it hit the right high notes.
>Dat Gul'dan fight
Too much retconning though.
>>342407790
>claim they are taking their time to make a decent movie
>deliver 6 years too late
>it's trash anyway
>>342407881
>>342407790
I liked it. Probably because I didn't know or expect anything... so it ended up being fresh and actually really good.
>>342407790
Didn't expect anything, bored me to tears, forgot about it by the end of the day I watched it.
It's a bunch of nothing, a really forgettable and generic fantasy movie.
>>342407790
No. It was shit.
As a warcraft fan and lorefag I was disgusted and offended.
Fuck this movie, fuck duncan jones, fuck blizzard and fuck you
It wasn't nearly as bad as i was told or expected. In fact, it was miles better than Batman VS Superman.
Most complaints come from the fact that it's Warcraft lore and setting, which is, unsurprisingly, the most generic and overdone piece of shit ever, but it was already old when Warcraft 2 and 3 came out.
But the movie itself isn't THAT bad. Has some narrative problems and characters though. Also the scenarios look cheap as fuck like... Warcraft.
>>342407790
What's Warcraft is that like Lord of the Rings or some shit?
I liked it.
The story is such a clusterfuck of thirty-seconds scenes trying to set up a dozen character, forced romance and drama. What the fuck was the cube thing in Dalaran.
Visuals was great. Magic looked interesting for once. Orcs all looked good. Fucking 9/10 Gryphon action right at the end.
Arthas/Illidan/Thrall better be split into two or three movies because fuck I don't want them to try what they did here again.
I liked it.
>>342410371
Fuck no, this garbage doesn't hold a candle to LOTR.
Most of the Warcraft movie problems come from the fact it's a Warcraft story and a movie.
Warcraft is kinda crappy in various aspects. Still it's a decent to good adaptation, because, its actually like the videogame.
Crappy, campy but enjoyable.
It's solid. I have no idea what the people bitching are complaining about.
Half the retards bitching are claiming it is hard to follow or something. My fucking wife that knows nothing about warcraft was able to follow the whole movie and even remember all the orc names.
>>342410303
This perfectly.
I expected far worse and ended up enjoying it.
It had a host of problems and overall was a poor movie but it was watchable.
>>342410458
Arthas story as a Paladin alone would need 1 movie to have it being told even remotely decently.
>>342410458
>Warcraft 3 split into four movies, each based off the campaigns
>>342410458
>visuals was great
>TV-tier cinematography
>fucking atrocious CGI outside orc faces
>can't for the love of god fit in properly people on CGI enviroments, making humans look like they are standing in front of a screen showing orcs and a battlefield
What the hell are you talking about.
It's super dumb but so earnest in its fantasy horseshit that it was super enjoyable. I really loved this corny piece of shit. It felt like a CGI-laden 80s movie, replete with silly costumes and ridiculous props.
>Pacing was shit
>Humans are boring shit
>Setting is Warcraft, which is kinda bad already
>But the action scenes, awesome
It made me kinda fluffy and smile inside at the Orcs fighting BRUTALLY.
Simply horrible.
I don't know who the hell the audience for this movie is, but it's, by far, the most awful movie i've watched this year.
It's like they tried fitting every single fantasy cliche into one movie.
Feels and looks like a fan-made movie.
Only worth watching if you want to laugh at actors who obviously don't want to be there.
>>342410852
>bazillion cuts
>awesome
Yeah, if you are an impressionable 5 year old, it might look epic as f*ck.
I don't know how could anyone approve this.
>>342410458
Dude they better do this, start it up like a casual story of Arthas doing good and rising to power, then on a side note with thrall rallying with medivh, end of the 1st or 2nd movie would be arthas betraying his human folk.
>>342407790
Yup
>>342410815
>It's super dumb but so earnest in its fantasy horseshit that it was super enjoyable. I really loved this corny piece of shit. It felt like a CGI-laden 80s movie, replete with silly costumes and ridiculous props.
Man that's kinda spot on. Like World of Warcraft
It's cheap, cheesy and overdone. The most generic High Fantasy you can ever imagine, with mages throwing colorful spells and campy dialogues of muh friendship and muh party and shit. But it feels like its own world at least.
Like a P&P campaign out of a basement dweller. Like all WoW fanboys.
Only remarkable thing about this piece of shit is the ridiculous shilling campaign it had on /tv/
To the people claiming it is a pile of shit. Serious question what were you fucking expecting?
Is it shit because, you could not follow it? If so blame your intelligence the movie is simple as shit.
Too many characters? Did that somehow make it more difficult to follow again? Did you forget the orc with the big hammers name? Did you forget Lothar's son? Okay faggot do you remember all the elf and dwarf names from the lord of the rings movies? Was it important to know their names?
If it is shit for these reasons consider checking your IQ if you can't follow a fucking warcraft movie.
>>342407790
Yeah it was good. Looking forward tot he extended edition.
>>342411086
No, it's bad because it's a bowl where they poured every single fantasy cliche possible, horrible actors, 90's TV show-tier props and cinematography, only decent CGI in orc faces and incredibly fake-looking fights.
Why would anyone like a movie with atrocious visuals, a generic cliche story and bad acting?
You have to force yourself to like it.
It was a terribly written, completely disjointed and poorly acted mess, the only sort-of-good character was Durotan and his plotline ended on a whimper with no payoff.
The cgi ranged from amazing to art student project level and the artstyle was horrid (that's just like the games though).
I've been a Warcraft fan for like 16 years and this movie did nothing for me, so I don't know about those "it's just for the fans" ravings I've heard about (considering how much they changed the story and lore for no reason, the changes lead to nothing).
They could have had a good warcraft movie with the budget they dumped into this, maybe if they didn't take it so seriously, warcraft is really campy and cartoony.
One thing I'd say they got absolutely right is the orcs being WAY more interesting than the humans, with their stupid fucking plastic armors, blandness and inaction intact from the games.
>>342410954
What the fuck nigga no, it was crisp and pretty focused on the action
Blackhand casually hits a soldier in the face without batting an eye and breaks every bone in him
Later he grabs the boomstick cannon and gets his hand gibbed
Gul'dan fight scene
That orc that had its head chopped off cleanly and flew into the horizon
The Griffon pecking everyone
>>342411086
I don't think anyone is saying the plot is hard to follow, it's simple, so simple that it's just not interesting.
It's a movie that I doubt anyone asked for, with a mediocre concept executed horribly.
>>342411343
I don't remember anything special from any of those fights aside from Gul'dan looking like he was rendered on the Unreal Engine 3.
>>342411362
>It's a movie that I doubt anyone asked for
You're blind then. Sure it was released about 6 years too late but everyone has been wanting warcraft movies ever since the first WoW cinematic was seen.
>>342407790
It was an admirable effort, and if they make another one I'll see it and give it a chance.
>>342407790
Human actors were awful except for Ben Foster whose character wasn't fleshed out nearly enough. His betrayl just happens and is never explained.
How the fuck did this turd cost 160 million?
Money loundering?
>>342411252
It's like you missed the whole fucking point of the damn movie. It was supposed to be cheesy. It is aware of the genre it is in. It is supposed to be over the top.
For fuck sake warcraft came from an unfinished warhammer game. Are you mental?
Not even close to the worst movie this year.
>>342411482
And what the hell drove those people to ask for it?
Videogame movies have, are and will always be shit that no respectable actor or director wants to see himself involved with.
I was laughing at the Ubisoft conference when Fassbender was having a hard time remembering the plot of the Assassins Creed movie.
>>342411362
You say that. But read the retarded critics at rotten tomatoes. Most of them complain about the movie being hard to follow. TOP KEK.
>>342411724
>It is supposed to be over the top.
And the execution was retardedly awful.
Not that I see how ''over the top'' means you have to hire actors who have no idea of what they are doing, give it TV show-tier cinematography, or making it so that only orcs had decent CGI.
>>342407790
Orcs scenes were cool expect for the the duel between Durotan and what's his face. Everything else was hot garbage that was worse than pic related.
This movie was made to get people to relapse back into WoW. Please do not advertise this movie. Please do not bump the thread.
>>342411884
Weren't you asking to the people ITT that were saying it was shit?
Who cares about what the idiots at RT say?
Don't get me wrong, I agree with them that the movie is complete trash and it completely deserves the 29%, but for different reasons.
>>342411362
If this movie was hard to follow i can't imagine how did anyone followed Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy.
People really is getting dumber.
Following this movie story isn't nearly a problem at all. The real problems come from it being an adaptation of an already campy videogame.
>>342407790
Nah, not really. It wasn't god awful but it wasn't good either. CGI ranged from great to passable to total garbage, props and sets weren't that great either, all the human characters were totally unlikable and uninteresting, the story was a mess and seriously needed some exposition at the start to set the stage, none of the acting felt very convincing, every time someone said "the fel" I wanted to stab my ears out, the pacing and transitions were garbage, etc.
Worst moment of the film is probably when Durotan asks about Draka and the orc that set her free says she's safe, next scene she's in she gets fucking found and murdered by a single orc. There was definitely a scene missing where she flees/fights off some pursuers there, it was way too awkward.
When you're in a fantasy setting and your dialogue is filled with fantasy jargon that sounds full-retard when said in normal conversation like "Azaroth" or "the fel" you need to make some effort into making that kind of dialogue sound natural. It's important to make the setting feel real. This movie stumbles all over that. When anyone in this movie says any of those stupid fantasy terms I can SEE them reading it off of their script.
It was sloppy. Very sloppy. The interesting orc characters and their excellent CGI saves it from being a total heap. 5/10.
It was fairly mediocre
The pacing was pretty schizophrenic and it deviates a bit too much from Warcraft 1's plot for my tastes
>>342408242
Tell me thats no the movie... right? Tell me thats shrek or something
The problem isn't that it's hard to follow, the problem is that the movie just dumps you into this fantasy world without any explanation whatsoever.
LOTR did a good job at explaining directly and indirectly what that world was about.
Warcraft doesn't do anything like that, it just begins and shit starts happening without explanation with some atrocious pacing.
It was really bad, but special mention to the fucking horrible visuals.
Shit looked like a porn parody at times.
Is it good? not that much.
Is it bad? not at all.
It's ok, a 7/10, enjoyable and looking forward the next one, hoping Anub'arak is in it.
Now as anon said above, it's like none of you saw Bats vs Superman. Now THAT
THAT is anti kino shit.
Was really bored, but I was quite entertained by watching the actors struggling to act and not look completely embarassed of being in this.
>>342412335
I give them props for trying to make Stormwind feel authentic by using the actual textures from WoW.
>>342412070
I think some people here had the campy feel file over their head.
The stupid fucking movie establishes its theme in the first 10 minutes of the film. You know right away the movie is campy as fuck using lots of fantasy tropes.
Jesus fuck people are getting retarded.
>>342412389
BvS is trash for many different reasons, basically the fact that Snyder is a director who has absolutely no idea what he's doing.
Warcraft is trash because it looks like a fan-made movie with the production values of the pilot episode of Xena.
>>342412335
I was actually impressed when I saw those behind the scene videos and turned out the armor wasn't CGI.
Seriously, look at that shit, I can completely imagine seeing that exact same thing on a next-gen game, it looks so fake.
>>342407790
It really wasn't good. It wasn't a disaster but it wasn't good. Pretty much what's already been said. Sometimes the CGI is gorgeous, sometimes it's kind of bad. Acting is horrible (except for a few characters), pacing is very bad and some of the scenes are just cringey.
6/10, a solid D.
So why the fuck was Thrall blue when he was born?
>>342407790
Same problems as X-Men Apocalypse, it just feels like this is a movie no one wanted to make, and that ends up showing when you watch it.
>>342407790
It had some good moments, but overall I feel like it was objectively bad.
Not saying this to be bitter towards WoW or Blizzard or anything, but the movie contained too many tropes and what I can only consider to be childish and unrealistic moments (like Llanes sacrifice). The terrible casting also didnt help. I wanted it to be good, but was unsurprised. Thats my honest opinion.
It made the classic mistake that because it was a fantasy movie they thought it gave them liberty to not ground themselves in some sort of reality.
Thats why Lord of the Rings was successful. Fantasy, but believable, like you its somewhere you could have been yourself.
Warcraft didnt deliver. It had potential, but fucked up.
>>342407790
A solid 2/10, this is the JUSTkino we deserve.
>>342412075
It's a movie based on World of Warcraft
The characters have names like Orgrin Doomhammer and Stormwind and Jaina Proudmoore or something generic like Torb Earthstriker
The only way to make it not campy is making NOT Warcraft
>there are people that think batman vs. superman was a better movie than warcraft
>>342412868
Problem is they took the campy shit, and then they didn't give a fuck about the story itself.
>>342412720
He drowned
>>342412821
>It made the classic mistake that because it was a fantasy movie they thought it gave them liberty to not ground themselves in some sort of reality.
I agree with what you said but just curious how you think they could have grounded themselves more in reality compared to LOTR?
>>342407790
Like Need for Speed or Uwe Boll movies, it's fun to watch to laugh at it.
It was campy, the problem is that it takes itself way too seriously and it doesn't have a story good enough to pull that off, so it comes off as tryhard and hilarious.
>>342412720
He was stillborn due to passing throught the dark portal
>>342407790
I pirated that film and lost interest something like 2/3rds into the film . It's boring as shit.
They also retcon a lot, which rustled my jimmies. Anyway, I tried to watch the film without bias and it just didn't cut it .
>>342411062
it's mostly autism because people are butthurt Marvel's movies are getting good reviews.
>>342412868
Why are you trying so hard to defend this movie?
I never complained about it being campy. Dialogue can be campy and still sound natural. As it is now it's about on the same level as anyone who says "Continuum Transfunctioner" in Dude, Where's My Car.
The problem isn't that it was campy, the problem was that it was bad.
>>342413035
Not the same anon, but the first thing that doesn't make sense isn't the Griffon used as a mount, but how ALL the humans are SOOOO civilized and clean.
They are walking paladins of righteousness and goody two shoes. At least the orcs were interesting because they had their traditions adn struggles between them. But the men? nope, they live in happy fucking unicorn land, literally.
Just to name one thing.
Oh also Lothar wanting to fug a green tusked bitch. Wtf man.
>>342412720
You know why.
>>342413187
None of that stopped GoT from being successful, though.
>>342413460
Because it has the benefit of having extremely mature tones and imagery. The "anyone can die" atmosphere draws people in and attaches them to certain characters, even though it's obvious certain characters won't die.
>>342413460
GoT started being actually nice and a decent show, plus it had a much more serious tone, which is not the same as taking itself seriously.
Problem is as the seasons went everything went to trash and now it's a fucking disgrace.
People just stick to it now because they refuse to accept a show they liked so much turned into garbage.
>>342413375
Not defending it. But i'm saying that there's no real way to casually say Doomhammer without feeling childishly stupid, or watch a movie about warcraft without being BAD.
Because well, Warcraft IS bad. It was interesting and serviceable story for a videogame, that served to make a setting for it, but not for a full featured srs story.
In a videogame works because GAMEPLAY>>>>> STORY. Cinematic fags will cry to this tho.
>>342407790
Awful, awful awful.
At least the visual effects were nice.
>>342413913
This.
Warcraft has always been a game set in the most cliche fantasy world ever, and the story was mostly background, the important thing was gameplay.
Don't know why, out of all games, they decided to make a movie of this franchise.
An 3D animated Overwatch movie, that's something people would actually watch and probably like.
>>342412206
What the fuck? Of course it's Shrek.
Baby Thrall looks great in the movie.
>>342412868
>"Hi good sir, i need some directions. Can i ask your name?"
>HELLO MY NAME IS MURADIN BRRONZEBEAARDD
wtf man
>>342411086
It's bad because it barely follows the fucking source material. What were they thinking?
>>342414194
>Baby Thrall looks great
lmao
>>342413035
Fucking Everything mate. Everything about the film reeked.
They could have downplayed alot of the magic for a start. The convenient constant teleports, Medivh casually popping into existence, that stupid barrier in the chasm. The elves eyes glowing like they were irradiated monsters. Even the gryphons. Changing the dark portal so it went to SW was just so shit and convenient. They could have removed the golem scene, since it was just a shitty distraction and didnt really have anything to do with the story.
MAGIC. Jackson said one of the reasons LOTR was successful was because magic had more meaning when it was used and it seemed more powerful and realistic on the rare occasions we say it.
They had to downplay the damn MAGIC. This isnt the game where you can spam fireblass and manashield.
But also stupid shit like Lothar jumping out the window out onto the back of a moving gryphon (I realize Gandalf did something similar but it was more calculated).
Lothars shitty wise cracking one liners, everything Lothar in general
And the WORSE offender by far is Garonas arc, totally delivered in an unbelievable way. "PLEASE KILL ME GARONA ITS THE ONLY WAY" like they were fucking bffs forever. How easily she is accepted into the group... especially by the Queen. A literal fucking alien with savage tendencies, in an age inspired by one of the most prejudices and racist periods of history. Seriously, fuck off...
Gul'dans drain life was one of the only things that was justified imo since it was part of the plot.
Like one anon said, they had to downplay what warcraft actually was. Because this is a MOVIE, not a game.
FUCK IM MAD EVEN THINKING ABOUT HOW FUCKING THICK THAT FUCKING CREW WERE. ITS NOT ACTUALLY THAT FUCKING HARD.
I swear, anyone who thought that was a good movie is a fucking pleb.
http://chinafilminsider.com/china-box-office-warcraft-ticket-sales-come-scrutiny/
lmao
>>342411938
>This movie was made to get people to relapse back into WoW
How? It was fucking atrocious. That movie made we want to go back even less
>>342413913
>Because well, Warcraft IS bad.
That doesn't mean complaints about the movie aren't justified, though. If the story it was based on was bad and cliched from the start this either should have been addressed from the start or built upon in order to make it "for the fans".
But this movie is disliked by casual audiences and fans alike so they clearly didn't do well.
I'm not familiar with source material at all so I have no qualms saying it was bad in nearly every way, especially in terms of making the dialogue sound natural. I don't care that the games were campy and cliched. This is a movie, and it's a shitty movie, and I will proclaim its shittiness whenever I'm asked what I think about it.
>>342414113
Not really. Something that a lot of people fail to understand is that it told its' story really well, cliched as it was. That was a novelty back then. Hell, fucking Homeworld's voice acting blew people's minds back then.
It was colorful and had a lot of memorable characters and dialogue. Something that Neo-Blizzard doesn't really do anymore.
>>342414113
Factually this
An Overwatch movie would kinda be better, but that's not saying much. Overwatch is also the most generic Ben10 episode of super heroes.
>>342410596
I liked warcraft, but yeah no where near LotR tier.
Khadgar is cute, CUTE!
>>342414482
>Trusting the chinese
>With money
>And business
>Fraud in China
>The sky is blue
kekkkk and lmaos
DONT TRUST THE CHINESE
>>342410704
I'd watch all of them.
>>342415359
I honestly want to know how much are they going to fuck wc3 lore.
Is like watching a car crash.
lorefags will hate it
normies won't get it
dumb people like me will enjoy it
It broke the lore to have a three act movie.
>>342414482
Is any business in China not built upon shady shit like this?
It really wasn't that bad. I enjoyed it.
>>342407790
My biggest problem is that they chose to adapt the story of the first Warcraft game. That is probably the shittiest story in the entire Warcraft universe except for that Me'dan fags stories.
I get that they wanted to do lots of movies and had to start from the beginning but god damn the beginning is so boring, especially with the shit they cut out like Mannoroth.
>>342415269
>>342412335
>>342412639
This. The armors were perfectly made. This is one thing i loved the fuck out of, even through they had mostly kids wearing them instead of proper warrior looking men
>>342407790
I expected way worse with everything retconned to just be ORCS ARE ATTACKING, LET'S KICK THEIR ASSES, but i enjoyed the movie despite that. I've abandoned hopes to actually see a good movie, but i was surprised
No, it was god awful.
>lorefags so autistic that they care about an alternate universe
>>342416424
I don't give a shit about alterenative universes, I simply give a shit about them taking a dump on the Warcraft fans to appeal to WoW fans instead.
>>342410458
>Visuals was great.
Nigga, the CG looked like an iphone game commercial, and the sets and costumes looked like they were borrowed from a Brazzers parody.
>>342416681
>CG looked like an iphone game commercial
Oh, please tell me how those, let alone video games in general, have had CG with that much fucking expression recently. The movie has horrid pacing, and they tried to fit too much into 2 hours, but the CG is very, very far from shit.
How about you stop being contrarian for the sake of being contrarian? Just because you're on 4chan doesn't mean you have to be a faggot 24/7.
>>342417035
>defending this garbage
You do know you are the contrarian here, right?
>>342417035
The only good CG is on the orcs.
Everything else was trash.
>>342414349
In the actual movie itself, the CGI is very fucking well done. No amount of autismo shitposting is going to change that
>>342411057
I actually went to see with with a mate from our Pathfinder party. It's objectively a terrible movie but it's just such a fucking fun flick for fantasy nerds.
I just wish they'd used like, Judas Priest or Rhapsody of Fire or Dragonforce or something for the soundtrack.
>>342417629
Dude, it moves like a twitching baby toy.
It was fucking hilarious.
>>342417629
I'm starting to think the people who've been bitching about the CGI watched pirated copies from a handicam. Because in the actual theater, on the IMAX screen, it looks fucking good.
>>342417629
The orcs were fine.
Spells and other magical effects like the glowing eyes some people had were awful. So were environments. That shot near the end with everyone at Stormwind was fucking comically bad.
>>342417783
Dude, outside the orc faces, the CGI was absolutely atrocious, it's obvious they outsourced that shit to some korean studio.
The fight scenes with human characters lacked any sort of impact. You just never got that same sense of oof when their swords bit into orc skin that you got when the orcs were smashing humans or each other. Hopefully that improves when larger races are introduced to the Alliance. Night Elves and Draenei should be able to swing their weapons with impact.
I actually liked it, but I don't get why they didn't just do the thing full CGI like their cutscenes. It's like the one thing Blizzard leads the industry in.
>>342407790
It's not as bad as I thought it would be, still not that great. Some of the acting and effects was pretty bad and the pacing was a mess. I enjoyed the Orc side though, wouldn't have complained if it was just the Orcs for the movie.
>>342417694
>>342418265
Post good CGI work, good sir.
Yes, it pretty enjoyable.
The lore differs a bit and they try to shove a lot of story in 2 hours of movie but I still liked it for what it was.
>when weakly Gul'Dan takes of the cloak and is actually fucking buff as fuck
>>342419254
Transformers movies, Jungle Book, Pirates of the Caribbean...
Take your pick.
Those have consistently good CGI throughout the entire movie, instead of hiring fucking ILM to do a small part of it, and then outsourcing the rest to some cheap korean studio.
There was a fucking orc with dragon skull pauldrons and a fucking bone cape. This movie was metal as fuck. It's like a fucking Iced Earth album cover on film fused with The Beastmaster.
I kept expecting Glenn Danzig and Kevin Sorbo to cameo.
>>342416670
How does it appeal to WoW fans? Because Dalaran is floating? If they cared that much about WoW fanbois they would have made a WC3 movie instead
>>342419596
>This movie was metal as fuck
I'm concerned with the amount of people that speak like Redditors in here?
>>342419865
If they cared about fans AT ALL they would have done a Warcraft 3 movie.
>>342407790
>original script was Humans are GOOD orcs = BAD
It could have been worse
>>342420050
Why did you end a statement with a question mark?
>>342420262
they pretty much went with the fel corrupted orcs being bad guys until the end when they decided they weren't bloodthirsty monsters
>>342420050
It's certainly not worse than people who say something and end up with a question mark?
>>342419268
>when weakly Gul'Dan takes of the cloak and is actually fucking buff as fuck
>the apologists of this movie unironically think this is a remarkable thing
>>342420050
Oh no, you're right, we should all call everything BASED like the hypocritical memesters we are.
>>342421110
Better than speaking like a 10 year old.
Was the movie cool as f*ck and epic as sh*t too, Timmy? Did you have fun in the theatre?
Needed to be longer. Decent otherwise.
>>342421220
Case in point. I hate you fucking people.
people talking about the cuts...remember the goat movie called batman the dark knight...go rewatch it and tell me how many cuts there are in that shit
anyways, 7.5/10 I enjoyed it, but I rather see thrall/illidan/arthas
I enjoyed it
would I go again?
nope
would I buy the blue ray?
nah
would I torrent it and keep it in my collection?
no
would I torrent it and promptly delete it off my hard drive if I wanted to watch it again?
yah, maybe
it was a fun watch but that light into darkness shitck was annoying
Where's the webms I need webms
>>342407790
Played warcraft since 2004 something, didn't mind the lore fuckups, understand why they had to be made.
But holy shit, the acting, script and cinematography were so fucking terrible.
The Orc fight scenes were great tho
>>342420050
Since when is calling something metal "Redditor speak"?
>>342419254
>good sir
What the fuck is wrong with you
>>342407790
Loved it
>>342407790
As someone who never played anything but WC2 way back in the day and doesn't remember the plot at all.
Bad:
>Horrible pacing. The movie moves too fast to feel like a movie about war.
>Terrible casting choices. Lothar and Garona were particularly awful.
>The dialogue sounded like a bare-bones first draft that you would go back to and improve later.
>Effects were really cheap in a lot of scenes.
>Humans were really mediocre and unrelatable.
>Too many characters where fighting for screen time, making every important moment feel deflated.
>Too many scenes had hurried exposition about what was going to happen, then were immediately resolved.
>Certain important elements were not explained at all. ex: What the hell is the fel? Why is Gul'dan using it if it's just going to wipe out his own race and planet?
>The ending felt really sudden and bland.
Good:
>The action was pretty good.
>Scenes were generally good at conveying what was going on, in what was an obviously complex story.
>Seeing the war from both sides was nice for once, and it really set this movie apart from other fantasy orc vs humans settings.
>The movie established it's universe pretty well, without bogging the viewers down with an opening narration.
>Orcs were surprisingly expressive and well-made.
>The story was clean the whole way through and didn't try to pretend to be smarter than it was. There were no pretentious agendas being pushed anywhere, despite this movie being a perfect vehicle for such a thing.
>The character's motivations were easy to understand.
Overall I give it about a 7.5/10. Enjoyed it way more than the shitty ass Hobbit movies.
>>342420050
that's you retard using big words and punctuation
>found the redditard
>>342421687
Sure.
>>342422639
Bursted out laughing at this shit.
They make a fuckload of things CGI, but it's just such an awful fucking CGI.
>>342422639
oh wow
garbage.
completely shits on the established plot of warcraft. full of shitty retcons that will force any sequel to be even shittier and even less faithful to the actual warcraft lore and storyline.
Don't know why it had to retcon so much shit when it didn't do anything with it.
It just retconned for the sake of retconning.
>>342422639
This is my favorite one
>>342407790
Yes, it was a cheesy fuckin' fantasy movie that belongs in the same category as the Dungeons & Dragons movie with Jeremy Irons in it.
Why wouldn't I like it? It was all a fantasy movie needs to be.
>>342422639
>tfw raising your wife's orcs
>that fucker dancing in the foreground
>>342410458
>implying it will have a sequel
>>342423164
This.
They'll either make it a straight-to-DVD movie only released in China with only asian leads, or they'll try their hardest to pander to western audience like Watch Dogs 2.
Either way, it's going to be a spectacular trainwreck.
>>342421084
Listen m8 I hate on Blizzard for literally everything but there no need to be such a contrarian cuck.
>>342423539
Contrarian implies the opinion it opposes is the majority.
All I've seen are a bunch of neckbeards defending this shitty videogame flick out of brand loyalty.
Every single argument is
>B-B-BUT IT LOOKS COOL AS F*CK!!!1
>>342423125
I noticed that in the movie. It bothered the hell out of me.
This is why fight scenes should always have a person standing on the other side pretending to be an opponent. Because otherwise the guy standing in the green screen has no idea what is going on and does stupid shit.
Star Wars AotC was terrible of this in the climax
>>342423125
This is so fucking dumb.
>>342423673
Actually every argument in defense is "not as bad as I expected, 5-7 out of 10"
>>342423125
>ILM was wasted on this crap

>that one orc just slapping his chest in the background
>>342410458
The cube was a magical artifact left by Alodi the first gaurdian. The woman inside was Aegwynn Medivh's mom
>>342423125
every battle is a party for a true warrior, and sometimes you just mix dancing and fighting up, it happens
>>342423125
They were in a circle protecting the king and trying not to break the line. were you even paying attention to the movie?
>>342415539
>3 act movie
>removed everyone that's relevant in the 2nd act
>removed the reason for having the 2nd act
How do you figure?
>>342407790
I was expecting it to be dogshit, mildly pleasantly surprised at seeing characters I knew from prior games, it was okay. I think everyone's just hoping it gets future sequels based on WC3.
I know I am.
>>342423673
Except everyone is saying it was alright for what it was, no one wanted an oscar worthy masterpiece.
Also the purpose of the movie was to be "cool", what the fuck are you expecting from a videogame based movie about fantasy wars?
>>342423950
>>342407790
not really. but deepest lore already ruined warcraft storytelling over a decade ago, so I've made my peace with it.
>>342415970
>they chose to adapt the story of the first Warcraft game
But they didn't. You can't point to any 3 scenes in the movie that match WC1's story. It's just some names and the proposed time period that sort of match up, and even then most of the names are missing.
>>342424356
Nothing but worthless trash, and that's what it delivered.
>>342423950
Amazing
after watching that movie I actually started to like Gul'dan, never cared much about him in the games, seems like a pretty chill guy though
>>342424464
>>342407790
Yes. I saw low quality torrent because
>paying for movies
>2016
But it was a pretty damn good action movie. The humans were a bit boring and the Orcs stole the show but otherwise it was great. I don't know much about warcraft lore outside of wikipedia skimming and reading a few of the books but it seemed pretty accurate to what I know and nothing was blatantly wrong that I caught.
Overall its about a 7/10
Maybe 8
>>342412720
Because he wasn't breathing
Are you fucking retarded ?
>>342423950
Is this peak autism?
It was the best video game movie ever I saw. Creators actually gave few fucks about the source material unlike the Prince of Persia or Mortal Kombat movies, which were god awful. I liked the cg and effects.
I have no idea why the orcs are so big but it helped to show their raw power during action scenes, that and extremely loud bashing sounds.
>>342424891
Here's a pro-tip for you, m8. "The fel" and "frost wolves" both aren't things in WC1, along with the orc perspective at all. Dropping that, you don't have much left to work with. Garona and Khadgar working as Medihv's students for years? The Deadmines? The sacking of Stormwind? Sargeras? The demons? The 15 years of raids from the Dark Portal leading to the First War - where Garona was conceived? All of it, scrapped. Not to mention Blackhand was the only leader back then, the one who learned to use strategy when the orcs were getting their shit pushed in by Knights. Oh, and that's another thing - the orcs never seemed to get their shit pushed in, so the whole thing with knights driving them back to the swamps was removed.
>>342425901
>Creators actually gave few fucks about the source material
And that's why they completely raped the lore?
>>342424950
>this piece of trash
>higher than a 3/10
Neckbeard delusion knows no limits.
>>342426265
dude is probably still subbed to retail wow, did you expect anything else?
>>342426139
Yes. I prefer this to the original.
A solid 2/10.
One of the most unintentionally hilarious flicks i've ever watched.
Now seriously, I don't think it has a single redeemable point.
Everything is bad at best and fucking pathetic at worst.
Seriously, I can't bring a single positive point about this thing.
>>342424950
>good action movie
it was boring as shit, 90% of the movie is characters walking and talking or sitting and talking.
>>342407790
I don't understand how producers are so good at taking quality source material, and completely fucking it up.
Do they want their multi-million dollar investments to be critical flops?
Do they just have such deep contempt for the idiotic general public that they know they can release shit and still make money so they do it on purpose?
>>342425901
>Creators actually gave few fucks about the source material [for Warcraft] unlike the Prince of Persia or Mortal Kombat movies, which were god awful.
I've never seen so much wrong in one sentence before.
Can someone explain to me why videogame movies are still a thing?
There's never been a legitimately good game movie, they are all pure cringe.
>>342407790
I didn't bother to watch it because I didn't care enough. I might rent it or something eventually.
>>342422392
Swine.
Most successful video game movie ever made thanks to China. Welcome to the new age of Hollywood pandering to our Chinese overlords.
>>342426515
The Silent Hill movie was pretty good
>>342427028
>chinks once again saving a shitty movie
It wasn't enough with Transformers 4 and giving 300 million to Age of Ultron?
>>342412868
I thought the movie was based on original Warcraft not World of Warcraft.
If it's really based on World of Warcraft
>movie of an mmo
LOL
Every MMO I ever played I never knew the story.
It's just grind exp, make money, get armor and weapons, and repeat.
Story isn't shit in MMOs.
>>342423125
>that one strutting by slowly in the back left
>>342412720
>hon hon hon

>The Silent Hill movie was pretty good
>>342427028
That shouldnt count
I liked it more than LoTR, I fell asleep watching LoTR.
Didn't felt like rape on franchise unlike every other vidya movie.
>>342426515
Ratchet and Clank.
It's just like the game it was made for, CGI, and it doesn't deter from the story.
Sure the game itself isn't the same as the original but it's a reboot and the movie caught everything about the game.
Games like this need to be made in CGI and not in live action.
>>342428541
>Didn't felt like rape on franchise
Possibly because you are unfamiliar with WC1 and 2.
>>342421909
thicc
>>342428404
It'll get sequels thanks to foreign revenue though. I honestly don't care if they want to see shitty movies, but I don't like that studios are now changing their movies to cater to them like with Dr Strange.
>>342428404
the chinese are keeping wow alive, you think the us/eu playerbase is footing the bill?
>>342428574
The problem with the R&C movie was that they literally just copy pasted cutscenes from the game into a film. It was the equivalent of watching a fan made movie edit of a game on youtube. Complete with gaps in the story where gameplay would be.
>>342429509
You guys bitch when it's not close to source material and when it is exactly then you still bitch.
Then don't fucking watch movies at all ever.
>>342429826
YEAH HOW DARE US ENTITLED GAMERS EVER DEMAND QUALITY FROM OUR MEDIUM
fuck off to /tv/ you kino cunt
Casual lorefag here, movie left me with some questions.
>Did Medivh really die?
>What was going with Khadgar after he defeated Medivh?
>Who is king now?
>Was that Magni in the funeral?
>Was that really Anthonidas?
>Where those high or blood elves? Who was the leader that appeared during the funeral scene?
>>342430317
>blame another board when I'm right
You want a game movie to be like the game, and when it's not you bitch.
But it's like the game you bitch.
>muh kino
Only one here mentioning "kino" here is you, faggot.
I said a move that's close to it's source material and I gave one yet you say I'm /tv/ when I never been on that damn board.
>>342424530
Has a lot in common with your mother then
>>342430989
Blood Elves only adopted that title after leaving with Kael, no?
For the entire movie I can't stop thinking about how bad Garona's "tusks" looked
Post sexy half-human Garona
>>342422761
they actually decided to END THE FUCKING MOVIE WITH THAT like it was SOOO EPIC BROOOO holy fuck it was so funny. You could tell they really thought that was a good send off and it just failed so hard.
>>342432212
I like to imagine her real tusks got broken off by all the orc cock she was forced to suck so she made herself some prosthetics
>>342408212
It was pretty fucking awful. I had low expectations going in but was still sort of disappointed. The plot was incredibly predictable, with all the twists spelled out miles in advance. The orcs certainly looked kind of cool, and the Mak'gora scenes were pretty fucking good. But the rest of it was terrible. The actors for Cadghar and Medivh were genuinely cringe-worthy with how bad they acted. I have gone to the movies for years, and I haven't seen such performances outside of Adam Sandler movies. It's that fucking bad.
It could have been worse. But it could have been much, MUCH better.
>>342432613
She did allude to sexual abuse herself
Definitely the best video game movie.
Bad acting and lacked focus, but as a fan, I still enjoyed it. Had enough cool scenes to make up for the bad parts. Hoping for a second one.
>>342429106
>studios are now changing their movies to cater to them like with Dr Strange.
What? Explain further, I was excited to hear about that one.
>>342422639
Just nake it all cgi or don't bother, this shit looks worse than the lord of the rings
>>342433467
I guess he's talking about how there's a Bald Zen Master to teach cumberbatch in the new Dr.Strange movie, whereas that wasn't going to initially be in and I think it 's not in the original comic books at all either.
>>342434308
He has a bald asian manservant, and there's a psychic bald chick in the comics
>>342432891
>budget $160 million
>box office $400 million
there will be a sequel
>>342407790
Yes, for a movie that's two hours long, it managed to keep my eyes on the screen through all of it, though, maybe it was too much content and subplots for it.
And honestly it was a decent plot if you are someone like me who isn't too into the games. There also a couple of little plot holes here and there but I still think it's the best videogame "based" movie so far.
Was kinda expecting a leroy jenkings reference or some shit like that at some point, there wasn't anything that I caught anyway.
It wasn't nowhere as bad as Battlefield Earth. The problem was it was told exactly like a Blizzard story, which is very serious and dry as fuck. No humor at all.
It's like watching the WC3 dialogues for an entire movie, just full on plot with shit pacing. Blizzard games are fun but they make for shit movies, staying true to the material was this movie's biggest flaw. Not in a lore sense anyway.
>>342435895
>no humor at all
Did you watch the film?
>>342436160
The only funny part was Khadgar casting polymorph. There was nothing funny I would quote outside the movie to my friends like in the Marvel movies.
I liked it.
>>342407790
It was a better movie than Star Wars. No diversity pandering bullshit, no real asspulls, cgi with actual weight to it.
7 if you're not a fan, 8 if you're a fan.
my expectations could not have been lower,
and I ended up really enjoying it.
my only complaint was that the editing made the world seem cramped, not vast like it felt in vanilla wow or even in WC2 and 3.
definitely helps that I've been a warcraft fag for years and years and knew all the backstory
>>342426515
Ace Attorney movie m8. Though that's a bad example since AA is a story based game.
>>342407790
I'm not a chink.
>>342438370
>cgi with actual weight to it.
