270 MILLION PRODUCTION BUDGET INCLUDING MARKETING.
THERE'S NO WAY WARCRAFT IS MAKING 500 MILLION AND THERE'S NO WAY IN HELL IT'S GETTING A SEQUEL.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAI hope this gets Blizzard to make Warcraft 4 instead of wasting their money on stupid movies
>thinking they will ever continue the storyline
WoW killed it, they'll never make Warcraft 4, ever.
>>70694523
this poster triggers me to no end
>wc3 peon
>wow peasant
>>70694555
This. They had a great cliffhanger at the end of TFT and they wasted it on a shitty WoW storyline
>>70694752
WoW's storyline makes no fucking sense anyway.
>>70694523
Have you been paying attention to China at all? kys disney cuck.
>>70694523
>THERE'S NO WAY WARCRAFT IS MAKING 500 MILLION
It already did though, also,try harder next time
What they should've done is make an animated movie out of overwatch
Their shorts have been great, they've got some disney tier animation going on

Good
>>70695217
I really wonder how well it will do in the US. Went to the Thursday showing and the theater had 8 people.

>Blizzard is renowned for their amazing cutscenes
>time comes to finally make a movie
>lebds meg it with libe ackshun :DDDDD
I just got back from seeing the movie. After seeing the movie insulted so long here, and seeing all the terrible reviews it was getting from journalists I went in with low expectations. You know what, it's actually pretty damn good. It's not the Lord of the Rings..but I certainly enjoyed it more than any of the Hobbit movies (I know, almost a left handed compliment).
Actually, they were just about as faithful to the lore and feel of the games as they could be considering the format. Some things don't have the right timelines but I thought they did a good job linking things together.
The reviews were right about one thing; the Orc segments are FAR more entertaining than the human ones. It's not that the human ones are bad per se, they just aren't very exciting and are more about exposition. But the Orc CGI is absolutely fantastic, normally CGI feels almost flimsy and cheap but honestly it feels more genuine than the live action parts.
You can see the divide on the Rotten Tomatoes professional VS user reviews. I felt reading the reviews that most of them just had contempt for the movie, which it absolutely doesn't deserve. I might say "this isn't a movie for everyone, but if you've ever played any game in the Franchise and liked it you'll probably like this movie" would have been fair.
>>70695270
Current estimate is 25-30mil
>>70695061
they always have, blizzard is amazing at cinematics, which is why i question why they didnt just make a movie with the same feel.
i mean i know it wasnt blizzard who made it but they should of stuck with what they are good at.
I just watched it, it was actually pretty good. Not great, but good. Not sure why the critics loathed it.
And to OP: The theater was filled to capacity when I went.
>>70695270
It had a midweek opening, probably not that weird, just came back from one of the less popular theaters in town, movie started at 7:30 so probably not the most popular slot either. Theater was about 3/4ths full
>>70694915
It used to. Then Cataclysm happened.
>>70695309
Critics typically dislike movies that pander to a certain genre like video games. Show me a good video game movie (I know thats hard) that got good reviews
Now I know why it made so much money in Asia
it takes months for blizzard to make a 5 min long cinematic
for a 2 hours movie it'll be 10 years in the making to achieve the same quality given their rate
>>70695349
Nah, Warcraft's story went to fuck halfway through WotLK when they started introducing the half-titan guys like Loken
>>70695217
>168 million on opening day
>bad
Just saw the movie today. It was pretty good. Really hoping to see a sequel.
>>70695306
the Orc sequences from the movie really do feel like high quality cinematics. In fact considering alot of the same characters are there, the Orc half of the movie REALLY felt like it could have come right from Warlords of Draenor. Actually...an Orc only movie would probably have been far more entertaining. The human side is basically there for people who have never played the games and would be totally lost without SOME explanation for everything.
Although I did find it odd that the King and Queen were out having beers at the Goldshire Inn miles from Stormwind's gates for some random reason. I realize they wanted fanservice but it did feel kind of forced
>>70695428
CLick the foreign tab faggot. Half that revenue was generated the weekend of 5/25, 2 weeks ago
>>70695278
Their cutscenes are cute little setpieces that can be cliche and badly written as long as they serve their purpose of moving the story along or as flashy advertising for the game.
movie fucking sucked
>>70695375
Now that you mention it, this is likely the best movie adapted from a video game made so far.
Which says less about how good it is than about how shitty the others are, mind you.
>"muh Fel Magic" instead of blood
>no Nerzhul
>Ogrim not taking over the Horde
>Horde doesn´t actually win the war and Stormwin isn't burnt down
>Garona dindu nuffin
>Blackhand dying two swing later to Lothar in fucking Mak'gora
>Hellscream standing around like a fucking extra
I don't get it, why take a perfectly fine story and butcher it?still was a decent flick
>>70694555
zug...
>>70695498
>why take a perfectly fine story and butcher it?
DUDE NORMALFAG SHEKELS LMAO
>>70695375
>good video game movie
doesn't exist.
>>70695459
Oh, never mind, 168 million is the foreign figure. We still don't have the US/Canada figures.
>>70695530
The Lara Croft movies were decent for what they were. So was the first Mortal Kombat
>>70695061
>>70695061
Seriously though.
Also when the fuck are they gonna make shorts for based Junkrat/Roadhog
That's like begging to be a Mad Max-style buddy comedy.
>>70695578
I want a short for Reinhardt.
>>70695287
I felt like there was a good movie there that got fucked over somewhere between the exec desk and the editing room. The final dual battle scene was giving me Star Wars shivers, and I kept thinking, "I like these characters and I like what they're doing now and they just needed to have made me feel this way earlier."
I would have preferred the movie be a lot longer; the editing was choppy, and while I was never really confused as to what was going g on, I still feel like the ma, the breathing and feeling and getting-situated moments, were cut for snappiness - which is funny because, if true, it ruined the pacing, especially at the beginning.
>>70695309
I felt the same way about Doom, it wasn't the greatest movie ever but I felt like the acting wasn't terrible, it was fairly faithful to the feel of it's source material and genuinely seemed to be having fun with what it was;
>>70695530
silent hill and doom were objectively good
>>70695445
>The human side is basically there for people who have never played the games and would be totally lost without SOME explanation for everything.
The young mage was the most interesting character in the movie.
>>70695646
I enjoyed Doom when I turned my brain off to the fact that it was supposed to BE Doom. Same thing with the Spirits Within and the Super Mario movie
>0 mention of Hellscream, first orc to drink the fel blood
I liked it but it irks me that they left this out. It's sorta like how they left out Roran's girlfriend in that somehow worse than the source material Eragon movie. Dude is a major figure in Warcraft 3 and his son is the main antagonist of 2 WoW expacks. I guess they can just introduce him in 2 or 3, maybe through a flashback sequence to when the orcs first drank the fel blood. (could make for an alright opening sequence)
>>70695646
>>70695707
The monsters in Doom being genetic experiments gone wrong was lame. It tickled my autism something fierce.
>>70695287
I more or less ageree with you. This is a movie for the fans, the normies wont get into it that much. Thats good for Blizzard and his plans for sequels, but Im betting they want the normies in.
>>70695530
Resident Evil movies were good. And there are tons of movies that aren't based on a specific game property that basically stole one's premise, a la Chronicle/Akira.
>>70695498
Demonic magic represented by neon green has been the staple ever since at least Burning Crusade. I think they called it Blood magic back in Warcraft 2 though.
I was waiting for Ner'zhul though, i'm hoping if a sequel is made they'll learn their lesson and focus it on spooky scary Draenor and Burning legion shit.
I really wished they had spent more time on the corruption of Medivh and the horde and less on Lothar's and Llanes quibbles
>>70695737
Like I said, once you turn your brain off to the fact that its titled Doom, its a fun generic scifi
>>70695397
All the non-square-jawed elves look like chinks and you know it. ffs the night elf architecture is asian as fuck and you know it.
>>70695060
its gonna reach 500M global for sure anon. The question is if its gonna make it to 750M and beyond, and if burger market is gonna ge into it.
>>70695863
>burger market is gonna ge into it.
Nah, they're all about muh realism what with Game of Thrones.
>>70695397
This was honestly the thing that annoyed me most in the movie. A fucking gook? Seriously wtf
>>70695737
True, i'm not sure why they didn't hand wave that the ancient Martian race they stumbled across had built some sort of gateway to allow them to cross vast distances in the universe only to get invaded from a Hell like alien dimension, leading to their extinction only for humans to arrive millions of years later and open it back up. Easy story change, wouldn't require much extra, the monster possiblities are better because they can be lovecraftian horrors
I just watched this movie and two things stuck out for me personally.
The first was the opening scene with the human and orc doing battle with the narrator giving the one line all fans know best. Gave me Warcraft 3 vibes and pulled me right in. 10/10 opening scene.
The second scene was the birds eye view pan across the several different battlefields as combat was happening in each one. That gave a very nice feel of the RTS origins of Warcraft. 11/10
The rest of the movie was actually really meh. A few scenes with the female half orc made me yawn
>>70695933
Gotta throw a bone to those chink gold farmers working less than $10 a day.
>>70695397
>MFW people think they're Night Elves.
>>70695694
I enjoyed Durotan and Medivh the most DESU. Although if anyone else watches the show Preacher, anyone else notice the actors who played King Llane and the Queen are also the two main characters from Preacher as well? Are they like married in real life as well?
>>70695981
They aren't?
>>70695217
>168 million foreign
>doesnt even have any figures for domestic ticket sales
>>70695933
Funny, thing that annoyed me most is that the black guy survived until the very last moment they could have killed him, and then they did. That wasn't enough for your /pol/ jollies, you gotta complain about the smartest race having individuals that look like Asians? I mean, that's asinine on multiple levels.
>>70695755
I honestly was shocked a major studio release kept as much from the games as it did. Gul'Dan especially feels completely contiguous between the Warcraft movie and the ingame cinematics from WoD
>>70696039
They're night elves who fucked off because they still wanted to play with Arcane magic.Night elves are dark trolls exposed to titan blood
>>70696039
No ya dingus, they're high elves. Night elves didn't show up until much later.
>>70695287
The director's original idea was to make a movie about humans and another about orcs. It's strange to see a director actually not shiting on the game his movie is based in.
After seeing some pictures of the movie here I expected it to look like WoW-tier shit, But armors and all actually looked good. It felt like one of those neat cinematic movies from the games, trying to keep the characters faithful to the game models and mechanics. Not a masterpiece, but you could feel love was put into it.
The opening scene was perfect and the only really glaring error is when Garona is talking to the king at the portal and everyone around them is fighting in slow motion but they're talking normal.
7/10 can't wait for the Lich King
>>70696039
>he thought they were night elves
Just saw it. I actually really liked it. Please tell me a sequel is on the way /tv/
>>70696080
It will win no awards, but it was just fun
>>70695287
RT are "XD WE'RE SO NERDY" types.
Saw the movie today. It was fun, the best adaptation that fans could hope for, and wholly enjoyable.
It's possible you sorry lot can't enjoy anything anymore. What a pity.
>>70695863
I really hope so, I'd absolutely love to a movie version of Beyond the dark portal showing first Stormwind being destroyed, a retreat to Lordaeron, followed by a human army going through the Dark Portal. The climatic finale would be Ner'zhul opening the gateways into the Twisting Nether leading to Draenor being ripped apart. Depending on the movie length the B plot can be Thrall coming of age and finding the exiled Frostwolves
>>70696085You're past redemption!
Can we really talk about why there is going to be a fucking Deepwater Horizon movie
What the flying fuck
does anyone know why the shoulder pads are so ridiculously huge on fantasy armor? it just looks retarded
The only thing i didnt like was how they glossed over character stories and changed details. Llane, medivh and lothar have been friends for their whole lives and medivh went into a coma for 30 years, not acted funny for 6. Thats when sargeras got to him. Also khadgar was supposed to age rapidly from medivhs magical assault.
>>70695964
I dont' know, Garona in that tight black leather outfit with cape made me want to do things that /pol/ would frown upon.
She dindu nuffin
>>70695287
I was irritated to see Dalaran flying prior to Arthas shoving the scourge up its ass.
>>70696041
Googling it says an estimate of 70mil, but no official number yet
>>70696039
Humans don't even know Night Elves exist since there on the continent of Kalimdor which is in the west(humans are on the eastern one), and don't make an appearance until Warcraft 3. If anything the Night Elves should of been Asian, since they look more the part then High Elves who are are what is pictured.
>>70696175
Warcraft III/WoW influence
>>70696195
Paula Patton is hotter in other movies.
The orcs were savage as fuck and I loved it. CG done right if you ask me.
>>70696175
Pauldrons, niller.
>>70696075
>>70696079
>>70696124
>>70696216Welcome to my ruse cruise how can I help you? :^)
Best part of the movie was seeing Khadgar get continuously bullied. Fuck him and his Abrogator stones
>>70696039
The elves from the Eastern Kingdoms are high/blood elves who use arcane magic to the point of becoming dependent on it, while the elves from Kalimdor are the night elves, who after Azeroth's first run in with the demons or "fel" decided to fuck off to the woods to become druids and shit
>>70695722
Grom doesn't drink the demon blood until the Second War.
In fact, he doesn't step on Azeroth until then.
He drank the blood when he was 17 years old or something like that, so in this movie he should be a fucking infant.
>>70696273
>Oh and bring me [Blackhand's Severed Arm] too.
>>70695637
More or less. One thing I liked in the movie is that they didn't do the "fantasy duel", AKA they hit each others' swords for 5 minutes. A real duel would pretty much go that way, AKA they charge each other and one guts the other.
>>70695722
He was in the flick. Kargath too. I was impressed by that even if they didn't have any lines.
>>70695933
A Elantnpisses youmoff, but the niggers don't?
Was that "my nigga" Aegwynn in the black cube in Dalaran?
>>70696281
Grom Hellscream was actually pretty young in the film., looked like young teen warrior
I was actually pissed off that the theater was almost full becauseI'd been counting on it being empty enough to not get caught when I inevitably lost the battle against my urge to jerk off to the orcs. Drew blood biting my lip whenever Durotan's meaty fucking back came on screen.
>>70696234>TFW I was expecting Durotan to survive the fight.
>"Oh, well, h-he sacrificed himself, b-but now the horde won't serve Gul'Dan and..."
>MFW the horde falls back in line and his sacrifice was almost useless.
I expected this to be as cliché asLothar's son dyingbut they did it pretty well.
Also I like all those situations where it looks like the main characters are fuckedand they're fucked indeed.
>>70696136
If it makes them a few hundred million in profit they probably will, it's well on its way. Honestly they have a goldmine of good stories. Just translate the story arcs of Warcraft 3, burning Crusade, and the Lich King. easily 3 good movies right there alone.
>>70696326
It was either her or the First Guardian of Tirisfal
>>70695707
>Doom
Good action flick.
>Spirits Within
Great movie, don't know why they stuck the Final Fantasy name in there.
>Super Mario Bros
This is in the "so bad it's good" category.
>>70696345
>Also I like all those situations where it looks like the main characters are fucked and they're fucked indeed.
It would've been betterif the orcs charged the portal to Stormwind and sacked the city.
>>70695680
The only part of Silent Hill I liked was when Pyramid Head rips off that broad's skin in one swipe. That was fucking metal.
>>70696353
It'd be pretty based if it was her 2bh.
It's things like that which make Warcraft a fun movie in my opinion. If you're a fan of the franchise then there's a lot of stuff to keep you entertained.
It just all felt a bit rushed though.
>>70696281
nigga, he was literally the very first orc to be >corrupted by Gul´dan. he was there from the start
>>70696383
Don't worryassuming they follow the games the orcs sack Stormwind in the second one
Lothar was the weakest part of the movie. I groaned whenever he and his dumb kid had a scene together and he and Garona had no chemistry and no real build-up. I think his actor might have been plastered the entire time, too.
>>70696213
I'm honestly curious as to how it'll do. If it's a success, what will it mean for the industry? I mean, first we have Deadpool being a raging success, now we'd have Warcraft...
Maybe it would encourage execs to be less hesitant to greenlight unusual stuff? Maybe we'll finally get that R-rated "At the Mountains of Madness" by Guillermo del Toro?
Hell, if Warcraft succeeding led to that, I'd tell everyone to fucking go see it.
>>70696281
Except in the lore it says he was the first to drink the demon blood
That look Khadgar gives Lorthar when his main plan for beating Medivh failed was priceless. Literally
>what you think I have ANOTHER plan?
Khadgar was the best character in the film good development overall
>>70694523
is 160M you dumbass, do you really think they would put 110M in marketing alone in the first movie of a franchise?
>>70696273
>"Great hero, I will grant you this ring of untold powers to help defeat the Iron Horde and stop Gul'dan's machinations...but not until you go kill these Ogre's on the other side of the continent...multiple times somehow, just a few tablets won't do mind you, I need a metric assload or I just can't give you this awesome ring. What's that you say? You saw that guy over there just leave with his ring and I dumped all his tablets out back down into the Fungal giant ravine? NEVER MIND that, I need more fucking tablets asshole, you're not getting this thing for at least another 3 weeks, if you're lucky!"
>>70696383
>>70696434
Due to marketing and entertain status quota they probably wanted to end most of the movies on good endings. The second movie's opening scene will probably be the sacking of Stormwind, and retreat to Lordaeron. This way both movies get happy endings, and they still tell the story.
>>70696345
That might be why critics hated it. Gul'dan is a giant asshole and he gets away with it.
>>70696476
In the movie, not the games, why is Khadgar the next Guardian? They all treat him fair there is no evidence that he is special, just simple that he is a mage that run away.
>>70696154
Jesus fucking Christ don't put LotR in the same picture as the prequels, pepsi, Martin and Warcraft. I'm genuinely made right now.
>>70696468
Well, keep in mind a movie has to double its budget to pass its break even margin and be considered a success
>>70696494
Fuck you Khadgar, it is your fault the Legion is invading. Evil fucker.
>>70696465
He always looked like he was on the verge of tears. His eyes were always watery
>>70696511
To be fair, that's pretty much how the story went. King Llane dies, Doomhammer executed Blackhand and the Shadow Council minus Gul'dan, Lothar took over as Regent of Stormwind and THEN Stormwind was sacked. A few details are lost in adaptation, but it looks like if there's a sequel, that's how it'll go.
>>70696542
He was the top-scoring quipper at Dalaran University
>>70696538
"This orc just INVADED A WHOLE PLANET and basically, you're FUCKING STUPID!
Critics hate him!
Click here to drink his secret!"
>>70696542
I think the jist of it is he was in training, left, and redeemed himself and relegitimized himself by stopping Medivh
Just saw a 710pm showing. It was ok. Not more than 30 or so people in the theater tho.
>>70696551
Blizzard stated that their "break even" margin was 500 million. So look for that number.
I'm curious as to what was in the final footage.
The movie was garbage, no better than capeshit.
I want to know whether that is because of too much corporate meddling or because Bowie junior is a hack.
>>70696538
Of course he gets away with it. He has literately all the power! He drinks souls like a finely-aged wine for fucks sake! Not to mention he's buff as all holy hell. That's the kinda guy who gets exactly what he wants. Forever.
That's the point of his character.
>>70696608
That means they spent at least 60mil in marketing.
>>70696597
Okay but before that Medivh said and implied that he was the next Guardian.
Why?
TEH FUELH FOR MY MAGIC IHHHS LIIIIIIIFEEEE
>>70696615
Gul'dan:The only Warcraft character that is evil and loving it, not lelcorrupted.
>>70696615
Of course. Would you believe Gul'dan was my favorite character in that movie? He makes a great villain.
>Durotan only dies because his opponent cheated in a duel
>Durotan's son only wins because he cheats in a duel
Wow...has Zowie Bowie succeeded Lucas as Poet Laureate of kino?
>>70696638
Idk maybe he had some foreknowledge about it. Plus I'm pretty sure when the cube opened for Khadgar that was basically the signal for the other wizards to accept him
>>70696579
No matter how much you try to pass it as minor divergences, they're fucking big.
Doomhammer fucking off somewhere and Gul'dan not entering a coma changes everything about those characters.
The movie already ruined their characters and motivations, but I don't see how will they play it if there's a sequel, it'll change everything.
>>70696322
>portal closes
>reveals motherfucking Kargath
>proceeds to wreck shit
Just that little bit gave me a huge smile.
I also love how they stuck with the WoD designs for most of the Chieftains. If there was one thing that shitty expansion got right, it was the art.
I can't wait for Armond White's extremely positive review.
>>70696281
What does it feel like to be so wrong?
>>70696658
Correction: The only mortal character who's evil and loving it. The dread lords are pretty much all giant assholes and they were from the very start.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIoCKrMm2Ww
You guys should check out this review of it, it's pure kino.
>>70696669
Gul'dan was winning the duel even without cheating. he only cheated because Durotan was running down the clock and Gul'dan had more important shit to do
>>70696161what's my name
>>70696669
There's apparently a whole storyline in Legion about Thrall no longer being able to use his powers because of what he did. My guess is he'll get them back because green Jesus.
Though I do hope they just lelcorrupt him and make him into a shitty raid boss to piss off Metzen.
>>70696538
Critics hate him:
Local interdimensional orc warchief exposes shocking secret about his success as a villain in a hollywood movie. Learn the $5 trick to his stunning results.
LEARN THE TRUTH NOW.
>>70696658
>evil and loving it
im pretty sure all the guys in the twisting nether love being evil
please work
>>70696691
WoD was unfinished. It's still unfinished. They saw too big and failed to reach the mark.
>>70694555
this desu
they totally shitted on the character of arthas
>>70696615
I

YOUR

SLUUUUURP
I DRINK IT UP
>>70696746
Don't you know?
Illidan is the new Jesus AllMight.
>>70696720
And Thrall cheated more. Fuck Thrall cheated so hard the elements on 2 separate planets, on 2 different timelines, in 2 separate fucking universes, abandoned his ass
Only problem I had was Garona should've been mind controlled and forced into assassinating the king against her will by Gul'Dan. Would've given her some better motivation and made Gul'Dan into a more serious threat for the sequel instead of a whiny bitch he ended up as.
But he is a whiny bitch originally and submits to doomhammer so whatever.
>>70696720
This.
It was pretty obvious that Durotan was gonna lose, even if you already knew that lorewise.
Gul'dan would have presented Durotan his ass on a polished silver platter if he didn't remember that he had an army to summon.
i hope we get a sequel so we can see mannoroth and fel orcs
>>70696638
I think at that point they were joking.
OR
The fact that he was able to suss out what was going on implied that he was proto-guardian level.
>>70696751
In terms of main villain. Only other really was Sargeras but now he is just fighting the even BIGGER threat and is just misguided in his ways!
>>70696669
DARKNESS COMES FROM LIGHT, LIGHT COMES FROM DARKNESS
>>70696638
The mantle of guardian wasn't permanent. It's passed on from mage to mage. Hell, before Medivh, it was his mother.
>>70696701
that guy on the right looks like a sex criminal. honestly that's what they all look like, is that this channel's gimmick? Date Rape Reviews?
>>70696720
It was even until he started draining durotan. What annoyed me was that gul dan is this hunched twisted creature then bam he disrobes and stands up straight
>>70696669
You mean Lothar?
>>70696858
>tfw I like Kingdom Hearts, but hearing that in this movie.
>>70696864
I know that... but why Khadgar? He is a random mage and is stated in the movie that he is the next Guardian.
He is not even Medivh apprentice
>>70696898
WHEN YOU WALK AWAY
They didn't explain Medivh's shit well enough to normies. I know he's full of Sargeras semen but who the fuck else knows that.
>>70696701
/tv/ isn't for promoting you and your autistic buddies youtube channel, you fucking gook.
>>70696916
Uh... Khadgar was literally Medivh's apprentice in the lore.
The only thing that really changed is that apparently Medivh didn't curse him to grow old super fast in the movie.
>>70697032
in the movie is never stated that.
>>70696643
>tfw they cut the original speech out
WHY!? It was so fucking good

From a guy who doesn't know Warcraft lore, the way I saw it was that he was trying to get back to Garona's mother and that the fel magic he had to mess around with to have that happen corrupted him and set him up with a fel user who would increase its influence on the multiversethingy.
>>70696916
If i remember correctly, the kirin tor recruit and train candidates for the next guardian then send them to medivh. His mother was guardian, got pregnant and told everyone to fuck off and when medivh was older she gave all her power to him, which is what sargeras wanted since he had tainted her womb or something and medivh was his backdoor into azeroth

Gotta hand it to Blizz, that's a pretty ballsy thing to put in your movie.
>>70696691
I actually enjoyed WoD, I thought the storylines were interested, the Arakkoa especially was a tragic and very symmetrical story from when we encountered them 8 years ago in Burning Crusade. Actually if anything my biggest complaint is there needed to be more fun things to do. Archaelogy, fishing, and enchanting were totally ignored this season as well as an interesting crafting system. I didn't hate on the Garrisons but I can't say i'm sorry to see them gone as of Legion.
I went and saw it in ultraAVX for whatever and the seats were SHAKING whenever orcs started blowing plebs the fuck out.
I'm glad I saw it in theatres, it really made the fight scenes great.
>>70696615
It's funny I cared more about him than any other character. This movie was fucked when it comes to casting and shit.
>>70696161
He would make a good prince arthus
>>70697238
What.
I need to see it this way. Holy shit.
>>70695933
>Seriously wtf
redditor detected, stop fucking trying so hard to fit in
At least we can all agree that the three best parts of the movie were:
>Khadgar
>Gul'dan
>Paula Patton's delicious green thighs
>>70697235
I wouldn't really call the Arakkoa storyline tragic. Hell when you think about it they are the only race that we helped by going through the portal. Terrok doesn't go crazy after the player becomes his champion, their race doesn't begin to worship the old gods, and SKWACK PRETTY TRINKETS never really comes to power. Good end.
>>70697281
It was pretty great, especially when Doomhammer would absolutely ANNIHILATE someone
>>70697335
I really loved the intro.
>>70697235
I think most people agree most of the content we got was good (minus the facebook garrisons and how leveling was super linear on alts) it's just there was nowhere near enough.
>>70694523
actually thinks Blizz spent any of their money or had anything to do with it kek
>>70697496
Garrisons are what ruined it. Not only were they tedious and boring, but they took development time away from other things.
>>70697281
Yeah, the fight scenes get fucking brutal. It's awesome.
>>70697246
Gul'dan is without a doubt the most interesting character in the lot.
>>70696163

Knowing only of the MMO, the motivation of the Guardian just seemed confusing. Why didn't they go and kill the big orc guy instead of dealing with Lich Guardian guy?
Why did he treat the novice dude like some supreme threat?
>>70696154
>84 Dune movie
It was absolutely shit
What a shitty image overall aswell
>>70697834
>Why did he treat the novice dude like some supreme threat?
Big orc guy was protected by an army AND fel magic.
Medivh was only protected by his powers.
>>70696154
Who made this trash?
>tfw it was actually worth seeing in IMAX
I was genuinely surprised considering the trailers did not sell me on the effects, only shit ones were some blatant green screening and some of the background orc animations were sub-par. Otherwise it was great, they actually built a lot the sets which really surprised me, someone making a good use out of physical assets in such a CGI reliant movie.
>>70697936
I think the only up close effect that was bad was when Medivh turned green, literally looked like someone slapped a green filter on and called it a day.
Other effects were amazing though.The inn having the exact same layout as the inns from WoW made me completely erect.
>>70696163
Hollywood absolutely Has to make 3 or 4 oscarbate "message" movies a year. We all know the drill, it's a moralizing preachy movie with a few big names, it gets praised to thr heavens by the press,nobody watches it, a few of thr people involved win a few awards. Rinse, repeat
P. S. Captcha why the fuck do you need me to keep identifying store fronts for you?

Ditto, Goldshire was fucking perfect on all levels, though I'm still wondering why was the king there in the first place? Was it so they could meet outside the city or does he just like chilling in comfy town?
>>70696175
Blame Warhammer.
They really pushed the envelope for PG-13 violence. Durotan's death and the guy getting tortured by Gul'dan sticking out the most

I almost jumped out of my seat when I saw Kargath walk through the portal. They showed Grom a couple times before but I was not expecting to see him.
There were a lot of moments like that for me. The fanservice and nods to the game had me in awe the whole time. As a Warcraft fanboy who has spent years of my life in the franchise it was a dream come true to see it all on the big screen.
>>70697823

also, there was a lot of black people in the funeral crowdKul Tiras representatives?
Also, I was fucking surprised how many times you see Grom in the movie, you even see Gorehowl a couple times, and yet, he NEVER talks. That fucking orc was everywhere, but never talked.
Also, i assume thatthe old frostwolf in the sacking was Drek'Thar

warcraft 4 never. Wow forever. If you think otherwise, you're fucking delusional.
>>70698508
To be fair, the cartoon characters were voiced by voice actors, who are used to there being nothing else in the room with them.
The real actors were lazily directed to play pretend to things that weren't there.

You know about the many scenes without animated characters in them, right? I'm not getting sucked into an hour long back-and-forth with autism, I'm stopping this now by calling you stupid.
>>70695287
Yeah I watched it last night. I loved it. It could have been better, there were a few weak points. The ending, for instance, was somewhat shoehorned, and there were a couple of cheesy lines. But overall I really enjoyed it.

2 reasons:
movie critics love to perpetuate the "game movies suck" stereotype and some even enjoy hating it because "not muh" mentality
Burgerkins love to hate Warcraft and Blizzard. Im not shilling them, they fuck up very often and I admit it, but wherever you go, people literally enjoy trashing it because "warcraft went to shit since *insert game or expansion*".
>Orc CGI actually looks good
>Everything else looks garbage, especially the part where Medivh turns the magic pool in Karazhan green shit
Bravo
I haven't seen the movie yet, but how does it do at adapting the original story? Is it for the most part pretty accurate?
Can we all at least agree that Durotan's death was one of the more disturbing CGI deaths we've seen?
>>70698894
It wasn't that big of a deal.
>>70698884
They change everything. Canon warcraft ending is the orc one, this movie is basically human ending with some other shit. Important characters getting killed off by characters that didn't kill them, characters that shouldn't even be where they are there for fan service.
>>70698884
For the most part, there's a few tidbits of lore they left out due to the runtime but other than that everything pretty much happens as it should happen.
>>70698884
I'd say it's 50% accurate.
A 1:1 retelling would take fucking forever.
Legion should be the end xpac. The titans have been dead for a very long time. There is nothing after sargeras.
>>70698923
I dunno man that death gurgle was pretty haunting.
And worse yet his death was pretty much in vain since Gul'dan basically reveals "Yeah I own your souls now, fall in line plebs"
>>70698884
You know all those shitty godawful retcons wow has done to the original warcraft story? Well, all those and more are in the movie.
>>70698884
Not really.
Orcs are dindus and the humans win, and there are a ton of lesser things that also are changed that mess everything up.
People that say is OK have never played anything before W3, that's why they think orcs being honorable warriors it's accurate.
>hey, i'm just some dweeb from nowhere
>turns out i do magic
>U R NO GARD YET
>even though he never said he would be

What a retarded fucking character.
>>70698998
Most of the titans are still alive. Also since Azeroth is a titan egg or whatever they have to have it hatch first and then do whatever with that.
>>70698999
Well it wasn't entirely in vain. He knew that if he went up against Gul'dan he'd die which is why he told Orgrim he would "show" everyone what the fel energy is doing to them.
It wasn't gonna sway them entirely but it DID sow the seeds of distrust amongst their ranks towards their supposed leader, which is pretty much all Durotan could have done in that fight.
>>70698884
It's pretty faithful for the most part.
There are a few things that they changed, but they are usually minor things that don't really impact the overall story. Though one change that even I didn't really like was thatGarona isn't mind-controlled by Gul'dan to kill the king; instead the king and her get left behind and surrounded by the Horde and the king lets Garona kill him to regain acceptance into the Horde and try to restore peace
But they also included details that I was afraid they would leave out, such as how Medivh helped open the portal. I figured they would just simplify it to have Gul'dan do all the work. And Sargeras is briefly alluded to a couple times iirc.
>>70699095
>Most of the titans are still alive.
whats it like to be so wrong?
>>70699029
I wouldn't really say the humans "won"
They even included the Wilhelm Scream.
>you have no idea the forces I contend with
He's talking about the legion right? Or Sargeras directly?
>>70699174
Probably the Legion.
I'm glad they didn't go into more detail, it would have been too rushed.
>>70699036
>hating on Khadgar
and hes gonna be in all of the movies
now you are suddenly counting marketing too ?:D
what's next gasoline bill for the watcher? lost opportunity cost? sad, really.
>>70699146
Oh yeah, the Wilhelm Scream. I completely forgot about that. Cute, but a bit jarring because of how pronounced it was.
>>70699136
OH I guess you are right.
Either way Azeroth is still a titan egg so untill that hatches you can expect WoW to be around for a while.
>>70699095
>Most of the titans are still alive
Only there spirits remain kind of, their physical forms got obliterated in their first battle with Sargeras, he utterly annihilated all of them. They escaped by sending their spirits into the titanic guardians they created on Azeroth, which like half of are dead or corrupted now. They're like double dead at this point, some at least.
>>70694523
I went into this film with the lowest expectations possible, it wasn't a perfect film by any means, the first 25% dragged for a bit, the dialogue was very videogamey, but damn it picked up and became fucking kino by the end.

>and neat twist on the Garona assassination with Lane
>Durotan and Guldan fight, Durotan's death was actually emotional
>the sheep scene
>the duel scene with Mork'Gar, fucking kino
I give this an 8/10, seriously surprised me with how much quality it was. I think if you haven't played the games you won't like it as much though...
>>70699145
They won in comparison to what actually happens in the game. In Warcraft the humans of Stormwind get completely BTFO and the entire city is destroyed.
>>70699029
But orcs are depicted as orcs.
Warmonger savages who decide their warmonger warlord is too warmongering for them, so they plan on outwarmongering him while they plan to warmonger some more with the humans, but some of them are not sure they should keep warmongering as warmongerous as ever, so they warmonger while they warmonger and their warmongerer warmongers warmonger as well.
Garona was reasonable because of her Mestizo blood.
>>70699281
That's still going to happen though. Stormwind WILL get BTFO, then the humans come back and BTFO the Dark Portal.
>>70699243
TheMak'Gora against Lotharannoyed me, tho. I toughtthat ritual was an orc-only thing.
>ywn see a movie scene of young Varian Wrynn trying to survive as a wave of orcs fucks his father's kingdom into the ground
This movie has the most satisfying death of all times. When Gul'dan's buddies start burning the Frostwolf camp, just when Draka goes out of the tent and Doomhammer stands there and fucking NAILS THAT SON OF A BITCH attacking from behind. I felt that hit.
also fuck 3d screenings
>>70699295
No they aren't.
Play WC1, or watch the misión briefings on YouTube.
>>70699306
How?
The portal is closed, Medivh is dead and the Alliance is already formed, even if they follow the lore and eventually burn Stormwind down, it'll be stupid.

I giggled at the 60 sec explanation.
>>70699361
They'll probably just have Gul'dan open from one side and Nerzhul open it from the other. Then the entirety of the Horde comes through and burns SW to the fucking ground.
Sloppy and lore-breaking? Probably, but it works.
>>70699403
>no drawn out scene of them going around the prison looking for lothars things and having to resheep the guard with khadgar warning about diminishing returns
>>70699095
That was always confusing as hell. Do all titans have old gods just living in them or is it just a egg azeroth thing.
I thought it was pretty cheeky when Khadgar explains that the polymorph lasts "about a minute"
>>70699095
So when azeroth hatches this new titan will it absorb everyones ilvl?
>>70699414
I have my doubts as to whether Ner'zhul exists in the movie.
Shamanism isn't mentioned not even once, and Ner'zhul isn't mentioned in any of the books that explain the movie.
And since they're trying to portray Gul'dan as the absolute indiscutible leader of the horde it gives me doubt.
>>70699361
I did. And I did play the games back then. They did a good job mentioning the different clans of the horde because that explains why some of them act like wc3 orc and some others like the ones from the first games.
For example, blackhand is pretty much the same.
>>70699495
I dunno, they kind of need him for the Lich King, unless they make up some stupid shit.
>>70694523
HAHAHAHHAHA!
One and done boyz! ONE AND DONE xD
WE DID IT 4CHAN!
>>70699455
Old gods and titans are seperate
Azeroth the planet is infested with old gods that are trying to get to Azeroth the "titan" thats sleeping within the planet until its ready to wake up and do whatever the fuck its meant to do.
But according to Chronicle 1, it can pretty much be considered "The Chosen One" sleeping titan which makes the planet and everyone on it just happen to be super special by proxy
lmao, they could've made comic book movie #578 and comic book movie #579 instead of this shitfest
>>70699519
Then you would know that Frostwolf didn't exist or at least, didn't join the invasión on the First War.
Gul'dan ruled from the shadows, he wasn't the visible leader of everything.
And what clans are mentioned in the movie? Blackrock doesn't exist, the Stormreaver doesn't exist.
All I remember is the Frostwolf and some mentions to two other clans in the first Draenor scene and that's it.
The characterization of the orcs is all wrong because there wasn't any thing as mak'gora, the only reason the orcs didn't turn amongst themselves was because the humans were there, they are a race of backstabbing and honourless savages, and no amount of Metzen cocaine-fueled retconning will change that.
>>70699607
I beleive Frostwolf, Blackrock(i remember this specificaly) and Laughing Skull are the clans mentioned at the beginning.
>>70699447
>warning about diminishing returns
>>70699659
You see shattered Hand flags and Kargath throughout the movie also
>>70699455
No.
So the NEW LORE is that titans are titans and the universe has a bunch of titan eggs that most the time are planets that we live on.
Then there are Void Lords who are beings of PURE EVIL and want to kill everything because PURE EVIL. Void lords however exsit outside the plane of reality so in order for them to PURE EVIL things they need to rip a hole in spacetime. Void lords aren't powerful enough to do that so instead they create old gods and randomly fling them in to space hoping they will hit a titan egg. Legit, Void lords can no see the universe so they blindly throw old gods hoping to corrupt a titan egg.
For some reason though that I don't think they ever explain, Azeroth get hit with like, a shit ton of old gods out of pure fucking luck.
Old gods then try to corrupt the egg and of course other things too so some times there are bits of old god in things that they corrupted and can also be reborn again with if not properly purged or defeated.

>>70699659
>Blackrock
Oh well, anyway it becomes a pretty irrelevant clan since Doomhammer is now a Frostwolf and Blackhand is dead by the end of this movie.
>>70699722
Uh maybe its not. Doomhammer doesnt have a clan and Blackrock doesnt have a clan leader now.
Seems easy enough to do the math there.
>>70699683
Oh right. I guess DR didnt come around for a while huh?
>mace rogues
I was just an innocent little warlock trying to hit 60 so I could do ZG with my friends...
>>70699572
That would explain why the majoirity of azeroth has tapped into being as powerful as they are now. We are all fucked when it wakes up then.
>>70699748
All the orcs are supposed to be under the new banner of The Horde so I doubt they will ever get a new war chief.
>>70699748
But why would the Blackrock clan let a former Frostwolf lead them? Surely each clan has a power chain.
>>70699748
Doesn't Doomhammer defect the Horde after Gul'dan kills Durotan?
That's what I understood from his last scene, he goes to seek Thrall.
>>70699802
Each clan always has a Chieftan.
Just like Thrall was Warchief and Chieftan of the Frostwolves at the same time, meanwhile Garrosh was Chieftan of the Warsong while Thrall was still Warchief and became Warchief after. Thrall was STILL FW chieftan, just not a warchief.
Think Noble houses serving a line of Kings. They are still noble houses with heads of house but theres a king who leads his house and his house is the top dog of all houses.

A stranger will raise the hammer high, and with it justice shall reign.
Orgrim betrays Durotan and the frostwolves all die, he then is a part of the salvation of the orcs when he gives the doomhammer to Go'el
