Ok I got the obligatory shitpost out of the way for the thread
Looks like a cheap fan film which is a big thing to say but thats the impression i get
>>69434164

There is never enough shitposting.
Clip 4 is the best: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPlZkAVV8u0
>>69434653
I think you're confusing cheap fan film with indy project feel. The movie's a passion project with a tent-pole budget for the director. It'll be good.
If you're just here to anti-shill though, you'll have to try harder than that.
I just wanna play vanilla again

I'm really starting to warm up to this film. Tge way scenes and dialogue are paced is fantastic - like Raiders of the Lost Ark fantastic. Intriguing.

Are you following the legacy server debate? You hoping they'll do it?
I actually hope that this will be a good movie. I barely know anything about warcraft, but there's just not many fantasy movies nowadays.
>>69434929
you think you do, but you don't...
Looks good
>>69434986
Sure, I'd legit pay for it
Tried WoW again like a year ago for the first time since TBC and Jesus it was just terrible what they had do to it
I really think they should have just CGI'd the humans too. Would it have been so hard? They look out of place whereas it's usually the CGI that looks out of place
I forgot the Orcs weren't real in the last one
>>69435116
I want this to do well so they make a second one and we get red dragons burning alliance ships, Zuljin and Turalyon shenanigans.
>>69434986
>>69435306
They'll never do it while WoW is still up, despite it being a good and likely lucrative idea, because it's like admitting their new content is garbage. Once they finally pull the plug on that old beast I have little down they'll grub for more money any way they can. Servers featuring "legacy content" will be a thing. Cap this.
>>69435313
It's not about being hard, it's about selling a full CGI movie to the general public. They need to think about how to make a profit if they want to turn this into a franchise. Full CGI didn't work for Beowulf or Final Fantasy. It's a really hard sell. So they made the right choice and it looks fine to be honest.

>>69435748
More like the piercing voice of denial bro.
Look around you, what was once a cesspool of hate towards this movie is now more positive than negative. That's a testament to how some things look really good in this film, but you're hatred towards it seems to run much deeper than the norm.

the weird flat, white lighting reminds me unkindly of the hobbit. it just feels so fake and cheap. and oddly there's no consistency to it, the forest fight scene looks nothing like a real forest, but then the scene of the two orcs talking is fairly naturalistic.

>>69434164
I am kind of excited about this but not completely sure. Scenes with Orcs are amazing, but when they change to humans only it looks like cheap tv show.
Wont even comment on that Garona shit, what the fuck were they thinking?
The orcs crushing people into goo was kind of neat, the rest was as awful as i expected it to be.
>>69435911
>flesh is easy to cut
>>69435872
It's a fucking fantasy land. Why are you expecting a forest in Azeroth to look like a forest in your backyard?
Why didn't they go for Wc3 campaign stories?
Who gives a flying fuck about Durotan?
I want Arthas, Maiev, and Rexxar, not fucking Dominic Cooper. Stop casting Dominic Cooper in things, Hollywood
>>69435948
If you take stating facts as "defending Warcraft lore" then so be it. But it's still falsehood so you might want to address that if you're going to make bulletin points of how they're portraying the orcs like "dindunuffins".
>>69435970
Garona is a sex slave to the orcs and it'll be heavily implied in the movie. You guys need to stop nitpicking and give them the benefit of the doubt until you watch it if you don't know lore.
kinda looks cool desu
thought its gonna be absolute dogshit
>>69435975
With a good sword it is.
>>69436057
Because they need to set up an origins story of how the conflict between orcs and humans began if they want the general public to not be completely confused and want to get into the Warcraft universe.
>>69435872
>oddly there's no consistency to it
I agree, they don't look like they belong to the same movie.
>>69435837
>Look around you, what was once a cesspool of hate towards this movie is now more positive than negative
literally nobody outside of these threads on 4chan even know about this movies existence
>>69436128
My only complain about Garona is that she is just a human in green paint, despite being half orc-half draenei. I would be really glad if she looked like those cgi female orcs but less buffed.
Judging from some of the comments in here there's going to be an even richer mine of butthurt to explore when this flops than when BvS didn't hit 900m.
>>69436128
implying she doesnt like the BGC
>>69434164
Are green orcs like niggers among orcs?
>>69436224
How would you know if you've never been anywhere but 4chan kek. I've seen plenty of people talking about it all over the place anon.
>>69436224
>literally nobody outside of these threads on 4chan even know about this movies existence
sure thing bud
>>69436237
She looks like a character from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
>>69436237
Considering there's a love interest between her and Lothar it would have looked extremely weird between a CGI character and a live-action actor. They know what they're doing.
>>69436254
It's like that Hulk/Widow fuxtaposition gif
>>69436250
BvS didn't flop dumbass. Do you know what flop means? If you're going to make a statement like that maybe not use a movie that was actually still financially successful, even if it didn't reach it's potential.
>>69436359
Warcraft needs at least 7 billions to break even, it will definitely flop.
>>69436269
Brown orcs become the minority real fast.
>>69436280
She's supposed to be highly sexualized and there's a very good reason for this.
>>69436359
I assume this is bait, but just in case I really did trigger you, try re-reading my post. Tell me where it says BvS flopped.
>>69434164
This really does look utterly underwhelming

>>69435984
>It's a fucking fantasy land. Why are you expecting a forest in Azeroth to look like a forest in your backyard?
the point is tone and suspension of disbelief. when people say the CGI is bad or the costumes look fake or w/e what they're responding to is the way the bad lighting draws attention to the artificiality of everything. that kind of pure white lighting is just incongruous with a medieval fantasy setting. the other extreme of it looking like a backyard is it looking like some guys surrounded by green screen -- which it does.
>>69436649
Poop and rancid armpits bro
>>69436647
reread my post moron. people are not playing wow now because the game sucks. they still care about the game. playing =/= caring
>>69436509
>nobody cares about WoW anymore
You don't need to play the game to care about the universe. There are people who never even played the MMO who are still looking forward to this.
>fantasy always flops unless its called Game of thrones or Lord of the Rings
And I bet you would have said the same thing before LotR and GoT came out and proved you wrong. You sound like the type of sheep that just follows what happens and never thinks it'll happen before it does.
>cast full of literally whos
Because popularity equals acting skills. Since when? If you don't know them doesn't mean they aren't known to many, some of the cast are solid actors.

When the actual credible critics get around to this steaming pile of shit, it will get destroyed. I expect an even worse RT score than BvS. I doubt this breaks even $200 million in sales.
>>69436647
Do you have reading comprehension? lol You just reaffirmed the point he made in his post, reread it nub.

>>69436854
*warcraftfags
And let us have this one fuckin' movie, man. Comic book fags have had their time, Blizzard has been promising this film for a decade now.
I don't care if Warcraft will be bad or not, I just want to have my vidyashit movie that isn't complete garbage.
>>69435883
Supposedly it's a surfboard holder (which makes sense if you look at a higher resolution picture of the thing, as it does seem to have a surfboard under his right arm).
Not sure why they'd blur out the entire building. Maybe the dude who owned it made it and wanted it off google street view, and then realized as it went viral that he'd also rather not have people looking at his house from all over the world to look at the blurry spot of his statue.
I wonder how he'll feel about people coming to look at his house because it's one of the only ones to be completely blurred out.
>>69436748
Then our opinions differ because it was completely believable to me.
Also you people complaining about green screen need to simmer down. It's gotten so bad I've seen people complaining about green screen that was actually on set, and vice-versa. It's like you guys try really hard to find imperfections when the average movie-goer is never going to notice any of those things when they're sitting there following the story and action.
>>69436917
You should re-read the first post you replied to. Ask yourself what it was actually saying, and whether your replied actually addressed that point, or in fact blundered off in a completely different direction. Seriously - take a deep breath, eat some tendies, and re-read the whole chain of comments.
If it helps, have your tard wrangler read them and explain it all to you tomorrow.
>>69436814
>I've become to accustom to the fantasy cliche where everyone speaks with an English accent that it MUST be wrong if they don't.
Please stop posting anon.
It seems like they were actually faithful to the games in that sense, which is a good thing. There are all types of different accents for different races.
>>69436903
you are dumb if you think nobody else will see the movie
>>69436815
>Anti-shilling this hard
What are you going to do when it gets positive reviews then? Kill yourself?
>>69436965
I actually don't mind any more than I mind capeshit movies desu, but I get the feeling this movie is going to drag some autists out of the woodwork that will make capeshit fans seem like normal, well balanced individuals. (I say that as someone who played WoW for a while.)
>>69436854
Yeah, no.
>>69436887
People love shit posting what they're afraid will actually prove them wrong.
>>69436815
>I doubt this breaks even $200 million in sales.
The film may be a critical failure (or success, who knows), but it will no doubt be a financial success.
The foreign market alone will likely warrant a sequel.
>>69437183
>when it gets positive reviews then?
Top kek I'm capping this one - I'm guessing 17% on rotten - that's equal to Transformers 5, I think.
>>69436815
>credible critics
No such thing any more. Armond is the only one who matters.
>>69436903
No. It was 10 million at the start of this expansion. It was 12.5 million at it's highest during Wrath/Cata.
>>69437272
China's gonna eat this shit up. They have a WoW theme park.
>>69437272
>The foreign market alone will likely warrant a sequel.
Isn't most of the foreign WoW market gold miners in China? They're not going to want to pay to get triggered into flashbacks of their days locked in a basement somewhere mining gold 24/7.
>>69434164
This looks like an Uwe Boll film with better cgi. I thought I was looking at the Dungeon Siege movie during the first clip.
>>69434164
They should have had released clip 2 and 4 only.
>Orcs attack
>One charges in and flattens a knight
>Knight next to him draws his sword, and immediately faces in a different direction
So... I'm actually not sure what happened there. Does the CGI have a focus pair of characters for the action, and they fill in the rest of the background with random action that might / might not make sense?
(I'm looking at the sequence from 0:54 to 0:57)
>>69436903
You do understand that people leave while others start, so it's over 10 mil. Also, this is a fantasy movie, many people get hyped on that shit.
Is this what the Uncanny Valley is like?
>>69437370
gold miners are bots dumbass. they set up a script to do huge multibox botting. they dont manually farm for gold
looks awful.
if you go to see this you never had sex and never will.
>>69434164
wtf, this looks amazing
The Garona scene wasn't noteworthy at all.
But the other scenes were pretty neat, especially the 4th one. I'm glad they're including some slower scenes, so it isn't just a constant barrage of action.
The CGI looks so much better than before.
I'm optimistic after seeing these.
>>69434164
This just looks bad
I genuinely don't get why people are excited for this
all that incredibly bad cgi
>>69437889
so not interested into this
its just a big computer
>>69437745
Once upon a time it was manual.
>>69437370
>>69437350
WoW/Warcraft has little to do with it, the far East dives into anything high fantasy and/or high budget. Warcraft has both, and thus becomes an extremely safe and predictable dollar in the foreign market.
>>69437745
Back in classic WoW human gold farmers were very much a thing. We use to recruit them to our guild and watch them bicker with each other for our amusement, as they were forced to learn rudimentary English as the WoW engine didn't support Chinese, Korean, Russian, etc.
They were pretty grateful though, and often gave us free 16-slot bags they found while grinding Tyr's Hand.
I miss my gold farmer pals. ;_;
Going to see it for pure nostalgia, imagine it'll be a laugh if nothing else.
The orcs do look pretty unbelievable for CGI. If only the armour looked that good.
>>69437889
Well come on - if you spent a lot of time playing WoW, you'd be at least a little hyped. Maybe.
>>69437930
I remember fucking around with them in Deadwind Pass, they loved farming those Ogres.
>>69437889
the CGI is objectively not bad
>>69437977
Ohh, yeah. When the Darkmoon decks came out, those ogres had the highest non-instance drop chance for the cards.
I went to do farm out a deck and after an entire afternoon of farming, I got one card and it was the fucking healer deck so I gave up.
>>69434164
FUCKING LOL WOWFAGS
Listen, I get it. A bunch of you guys and girl grew up playing this game....but it's not even a WOW story...it's Warcraft, an RTS game that you likely never played. You idiots just want shit blasted onto a movie screen? Congratulations, you have it now.

Funny enough Uwe Boll asked to make this movie years ago. Blizzard told him to shove it and fuck off.
So are they giving the game free with every ticket or what?

As I said - 'seem like' - it's a relative thing.

There's something of a smelly neckbeard debate about whether kek is a starcraft thing or a warcraft thing. I won't bother arguing either side - I certainly know it from Starcraft, but that doesn't prove anything.
how do the humans ever win against the orcs when they are that much bigger and stronger
>>69437707
Well a trained group of soldiers definitely seem to be smarter than you when it comes to encounters with an enemy. Who knew?
When you get ambushed you usually know that a dude is not going to attack alone against a group, there's most likely many more of them so you're immediate reaction should be to cover your flanks.

If you think that is bad CGI then you just hate CGI fundamentally and have never enjoyed CGI characters in any movie. Or you're just anti-shilling because you really hate this film for some reason.
Either way, those are some of the best looking CGI characters I think we've seen on film and you'd be daft not to recognize it.

>>69438812
supposedly sargeras takes full control somewhere in the movie but it was some anon that claimed to have watched a screening so who knows
>>69434164
Looks like it's going to be a solid 7.
My mom wants to see this movie...is that normal?
>>69435629
Metzen actually said he doesnt want to tell the complete story anywhere directly and would rather just give small bits and pieces with the comics and trailers and let players just piece it together by themselves along with character clues ingame.
>>69438946
There's no studio on Earth that can match the quality that a large budget Hollywood film has.
It's why hot garbage like Terminator Genisys is still profitable to studios.
>>69438085
I have played a total of probably 10h on WoW using a friends account/trial account. I spent at least 300 hours on Warcraft 3. Suck it.
>>69438960
>>69439034
I hope they show Gul'dan's rise to power. Warlocks were despised in orc culture, then he staged a sort of coup. It won't be as true to the lore if he's just leading things from the get go.
>>69434164
I wish they had gone full CGI. The effects are not good enough for the orcs to look real so it just ends up with a weird mix of actors and CGI.
If they had just went all in on animation instead it would have been completely fine. It wouldn't even be out of place since it's based on a fucking video game.
>>69438098
>overblown and gaudy
Then you don't like the Warcraft look. Which is fine but it's commendable that they tried staying true to the game where they could.
A lot of people tend to have that reaction at first but as they play they enjoy it more and more. It gives the world a unique look and feel that is easily recognizable to them. I think you should give it a shot because it might grow on you.
>>69439206
normies would never ever go watch a full length warcraft cinematic
>>69438179
>You know you've spent too much time on 4chan when...
>>69438230
No.
How much does this movie need to not be considered a flop? The budget is reportedly $100 million which is on the low side for a movie like this.
>>69439206
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLzhlsEFcVQ
>ywn see a full length feature made my Blizzard's CGI department
too bad it takes them 7 months to animate and render a 3 minute clip.
>>69434848
>like raiders of the lost ark fantastic
Uhh, it looks decent but don't even compare this to Raiders. Just because it's a vidya movie that looks pleasantly surprising doesn't mean it ranks up top with one of the GOAT action adventure movies.
Are the armors CGI?
>>69439247
Why would they go watch a full length warcraft cinematic with a couple of actors then?
>>69438554
The actor is a white American.
>>69439347
Are you retarded? No
>>69439247
If there's a heaven, I hope to be sent into media. Specifically, into Warcraft universe. Can you imagine how goddamn comfy it would be? Hanging out in Stormwind, shooting the shit in Goldshire inn, raiding every night with your bros. What could be better.
>>69439432
Until a bunch of orcs invade your land and burn it to the ground.
>>69439369
because it has actors like real movies and there's the dude from vikings i think thats a pretty well known show i never watched it
>>69439400
he's white enough but he doesn't have blue eyes like real khadgar which is what i think of when i think khadgar
>>69439432
Then one night you're on patrol and you get ambushed by orcs and you're dead before you can even react.
>>69439317
I just want 90 minutes of shit like that really.
Even the animations from Warcraft III were pretty good quality.
>>69439317
This is bullshit. If they were making a full length film, they'd have a much larger staff than Blizzards CGI department. Look at Avatar. It's expensive and time-consuming but it can be done.
>>69434164
The first scene with the magic blast was weird, felt stilted but that's probably because whatever they were talking about sounded like nonsense. The magic itself was kind of cool looking. Lots of interesting little details added some character, like Ragnar fake-helping the guy up, orc throwing a pebble at his buddy, etc. The battle scene looked coherently edited and I liked that it discarded obvious dramatic beats for efficiency in the part where Ragnar saves the kid - rather than a few seconds of the kid being like "oh shit the orc did not kill me, instead someone killed the orc!" you get a shot of the orc head falling by him, then immediately see Ragnar crouched there because that's all the information you need to see. Also a distinct lack of closeups, not sure how to feel about that when you have intimate moments like hot orc girl with Ragnar, or the long haired orc giving his monologue, but still being deemphasized in the frame. The CGI looks fine.
>>69438712
Kekekek is from Starcraft and it's the reason kek became a thing in Warcraft. But the actual meme, as in just kek got popularized on 4chan because of Warcraft not Starcraft. It was the orc translation of lol in the MMO and people picked it here around 2005 when people were posting that orc face from wc3 too.
Topkek became of thing because kek was already a thing and someone spotted a turkish candy called "topkek" and thought it was funny. It got posted here and people picked it up.
- Smelly Neckbeard who also happens to be an old fag
>>69435757
no matter how much you troll, Warcraft > Warhammer
>>69439617
Pretty sure "top kek" was around before that image of the Turkish candy. I know "toplel" was, and kek is just the new lel.
>>69438712
>>69438787
At the end of the day though they're both blizzard games so who gives a fuck.
>>69435499
Orcs aren't supposed to be 5 times stronger than humans, but because they kept the ridiculous physical proportions for orcs, while having normal looking humans, it wouldn't make sense not to have this strength disparity.
>>69438811
No but you're assuming that because you have a limited perspective of the battle. Some of them, maybe even offscreen were facing towards them.
>>69439308
Someone please reply thanks
Jesus christ.
>>69438944
Because you now realize how wrong you were about this movie right?
>>69434164
The general sense I get from these scenes so far is a deliberate attempt by the filmmakers to defy expectations in large and small ways. You don't get a closeup when you'r expect one, the hero reaches out as if to help a guy up then feints him, two big majestic orc monsters survey their domain then one tosses a pebble at the other and they laugh. A battle starts with one of many characters being wiped out of a wide shot - this itself is now basically a trope, but not one especially common to fantasy genre. It seems like they were trying to go for a slight genre subversion similar to GoT season 1, which gives me faith in the level of creative control Duncan Jones got. Also makes it feel sort of like a video game, where no standard camera POV exists to show you what's important.
>>69439317
This is pretty cool - I assume things would go a bit faster if you threw Hollywood money at it. What's the budget for this Warcraft movie?

>>69439786
Probably not as much as usual. Think about it: Blizzard could use this to draw people to WoW and their other games, in addition to the profits from the film itself.
>>69434164
I want this movie to succeed only to see an Arthas movie/series in the future. Looks good so far.
>>69436509

>>69439792
I assume it's a problem with the quality of the 'leaked' footage, but that looks like
Real - CGI or Painting - Cosplay - Ren faire goofball - CGI
>>69439489
He's also not 8ft tall like the real Khadgar
Great: When the Orc yells Lok'tar Ogar in the forest scene.
The conversation sitting on the edge of the mountain scene looks great and flows nicely.
Everything else is iffy and some is simply not well done.
This movie I can see being ok to good at best. I foresee pacing issues, everything looking to "clean", it really shows in the library looking like a freshly done set with no age or wear and tear on anything. CGI looks incredible in some scenes but only barely passable in others, especially by comparison. I'm still not sold on female Orc and the humans sort of clash a bit with the CGI around them.
Here is to hoping.
>>69438960
Black Morass was such a half-assed dungeon design.
>>69439889
Could you just say if it stays true to the canon or not?
>>69439308
A good benchmark is usually budget x2 to start being profitable. If it's $100M it needs to make over $200M back. I think that budget quote is outdated though and it's most likely more than that now.
>>69440031
Major plots yes.
Minor deviations to make story accessible for the average moviegoer.
same like LOTR really.
>>69438665
both of those flavors went on to become that mt dew xtreme. Im pretty sure its called MDX. I dont know if they still make it now that they have Kickstart.
The only Mt Dews that matter are Original, Cherry, Pitch Black, Livewire, and Voltage. In that order. Anyone even thinking of Baja Blast can gtfo
>>69434164
my impressions:
1. they did the scale properly; orcs look huge and not just john cena bulky, and they hit like a Dreadnought
2. the humor has a unique feel to it -- almost like the routine fanaticism in WH40K
3. the CGI is impressive but it doesn't overwhelm the plot
4. the acting is okay and well-paced
5. doesn't seem to take itself too seriously but gives a good show
compared to Civil War, where the only two good scenes are the Antman special powers scene and the "I recruit Spidey" scene, and the other scenes feel as if they're just there to fill up some time
based on trailers, 6.5
hopefully it won't be so depressing as BvS, or self-absorbedly over-serious and flat like CA:CW
>>69440093
Ah, well that's all I can ask for I guess. I'm actually getting pretty excited for this. Is this a mistake?
>>69440019
>Great: When the Orc yells Lok'tar Ogar in the forest scene.
Holy shit, i had not realized that Blackhand yelled that. I am officially hyped now and the human scenes are deleted in my mind.
>>69439489
His eyes turn blue when he casts magic.
>>69439561
Avatar also had half CGI and half live-action, so what's the problem?
>>69434164
HAS ANYONE SEEN THIS YET? CAN ANYONE CONFIRM IF DUROTAN DIES AND DO THEY CUT HIS ARMS OFF BEFORE THEY KILL HIM?
>>69439571
Having seen the movie I can tell you there are many close-ups, even of the orcs. And they look incredible.
>>69440187
Not really, I'm excited too. Only Garona would be weird, but I'm ok with that. I'm rooting for Orcs in the movie and early reviews say the Orcs carry the story and its done really well.
>>69440191
> Not mentioning the Call to Arms, an in-game soundtrack in the movie
>>69439317
>such an amazing cinematic
>for such a shitty expansion
>>69439792
It looks like it's a real set. Maybe the lighting in that shot just makes it look weird?
I coulda sworn I've seen that same room in a behind-the-scenes picture that Duncan released ages ago.
>>69440276he gets killed by Gul'Dan, but no cutting of arms
>third clip absolute cringe
>didn't really feel fourth clip despite chill scene, orcs as soft-spoken philosophers is weird

I'd actually watch it if it was mostly in that vein. Definitely not good, but entertaining. Still probably won't drop ten shekels to see it, though, considering green bodypaint lady's sure to have a ton of screentime.
>>69440184
Thanks for your trailer analysis champ we really needed it.

No. How new are you because I'm really tempted to blast you for such an ignorant post. It makes it really obvious you haven't been around since the early days of 4chan but I don't expect everyone to be. You should just refrain from discussing someone you don't know about though.

Realistically, we should be on our third or fourth Warcraft film at this point. I wonder what took them so long. If I were Kotick, I'd want a film with the theme of the upcoming expansion releasing just prior to the expansion release to build hype and bring back subs.
>>69434164
looks bretty cool to me
but whats ragnar lothbrok doing in Warcraft ? I hope Floki didnt follow him there.

>>69439823
I kind of have to agree. Good post.
>>69434164
It's really uneven in quality.
The last scene looks amazing.
The scene with Medivh looks mediocre.
The fight in the forest looks absolutely terrible, if I saw that without knowing what it is, I'd have said that it's some video game cutscene.

This so much, holy fuck. The guy basically doesn't even act, he's HORRIBLE.
With Ragnar he just happened to decently fit in the role, it was a pure accident.
I'm not a /film/ fag, can someone explain why this looks so cheap? Like it reminds me of a History channel quality show. Not a $100M movie. Why do the original LoTR films seem more realistic, even though they're like 10 years older?
>>69439792
>>69440358
>>69440495
When you get to the point where people are literally confusing real sets with CGI and green screen and trying to use it against the movie, you know the bullshit meter has gone off the charts.
>>69440565
Agreed on the last scene - that works well and the CGI seems quite good. You're right though - the rest is a real mixed bag.
>>69440184

Blackhand was such a GOAT encounter.
>>69440184
As someone who has seen the movie I really have no idea why they made the trailers the way they did but they don't do the movie justice. It was a pleasant surprise for me and I definitely enjoyed it.
>>69440614
Soon.
If this does well, then we will get some in 2. I'd bet they wouldn't even need full CGI for trolls; just really good make-up
>you will never be Orc bros

His complaint about the library was that it looked like a freshly made set no one had bothered to 'age.' So they slapped together a nice enough looking library, fine, but they forgot it's meant to look like it's a few hundred years old.

>>69440520
They waited to make sure it was done right. They didn't want to do what other companies have done and rush to sell their IP only to get a shitty adaptation that tarnishes their game.
Blizzard kept veto rights and told 2 directors to fuck off. One of which was Sam Raimi who wanted to do his own generic spin on it by having humans be good and orcs bad and just using the warcraft name and universe to sell it. Blizzard said nah bro, that ain't Warcraft and vetoes his script.
Duncan Jones, who was an actual huge fan of the games, came in a pitched his idea. They were sold. And now we have a movie, and one that's more akin to a passion project, although with a tent-pole budget, than a generic money grab.
>>69436854
It's the only reason Blizzard still sells. Rabid fanboys that a are loyal to the brand no matter what .
>>69440973
why? it makes perfect sense
>>69441175
they are not, tauren were nomadic and there are a lot of variations of them in the other continents, same with the elves, they turned into high elves because they weren't close to the powers of the well of eternity. Also, remember that elves are just evolved trolls
>>69440616
They wanted him to audition in the first place because they thought his performance as Ragnar fit the role of Lothar. Why would he change it?

That's the big risk of having both CGI and live actors side by side - they can look great on their own, but suddenly look off when next to each other.

>>69441145
>MoP dungeons were aesthetically cool but very boring
agreed. and as much as I liked the Klaxxi as a faction, Siege of Nizou and the other one were fucking dreadfully boring. It was the worst doing those in Challenge mode or w/e cuz we were there for like an hour or two per night. Scholomance was breddy gud tho.
>>69440637
I bet you would have said the same thing off incomplete footage before you actually watch the LotR trilogy. Building up a story and setting and being invested in it when you're watching a movie gives you a very different perspective.
>>69441369
>Ragnar somehow similar to Lothar
lmao
>>69435499
IIRC the orcs raped a human scouting party in a skirmish and decided that the entire human race was as weak as that one party. So they marched directly on Stormwind, met a castle wall, and got fucked in the ass by cavalry so hard the survivors had a mutiny.
>>69440637
One, Warcraft is still in post production. The CG isn't finished.
Two, LotR took a much more grimdark approach to the aesthetics, whereas Warcraft is keeping the cartoony vibrance the RTS and MMO games have. Is this a good decision? I dunno. Personally, I'm glad they didn't cop out and put a grey filter on everything. On the other hand, I fear it won't work for a general audience.
>>69439792
I hate how male orcs are these huge buff beast-like creatures and the females are just a green girl with big teeth. That's some lazy design.

His post, which you replied to, said "I foresee pacing issues, everything looking to "clean", it really shows in the library looking like a freshly done set with no age or wear and tear on anything."
After that, he went on to talk about CGI. Two separate points.
In terms of this being 'extreme nitpicking,' I'd expect a good movie with a decent budget to get that sort of thing right. If I should be expecting less because it's a Warcraft movie, well that's a shame. It's the sort of detail Jackson got right in LotR.
>>69441044
I love how nitpicky people are being when for me, a movie about a world thats larger than life I expect it to look larger than life, not look normal like something average.
>>69441878
Probably that was the very first time they met orcs.
>>69440614
I heard there actually are trolls in the movie that help the Orcs attack Stormwind. I can't remember the source but I'm pretty sure it was from an interview with Duncan.

I disagree. If I were being as nitpicky as this I could pull out 50 different things from LotR even though I loved them. Like how the orcs were portrayed in generic fashion or how Legolas scene jumping onto a mammoth looked really fake.
Thing is it's the opposite. When you're watching a good movie with a good story you tend to let those little things slide because you're so invested in the story and what's going on and most things look so good, that it's really not that important.

Whether this is a genuine Redditor or cutting-edge shitposting, it makes me sad for what /tv/ has become.

No, that definitely doesn't happen.

No I'm saying in a fantasy world with magic you can't possibly know what things would look like and what they could do so comparing it to what you know from your local library is rather naive, especially when the argument is that it looks too "clean". Maybe that's just how things are in that universe and you'll get used to it.
