It wasn't THAT bad
>>70766627
Pacing was. Well, it was in a rush wasn't it? Oh Look,it's a seed,no wait, a bud, no wait, now it's a spro...nope, it's a small twig...no, it's a bit bigger, now it's shade?
>>70766627
Yeah.. it was.
>really bad human character acting
>horribly fast pacing
a director's cut might actually be a decent flick, apparently they had to cut like 45min from the runtime and there's probably MUCH better pacing in those 45 missing minutes.
wont fix the bad acting though
Who's the superior green waifu?
It was GOOD.
>>70767489
Too much talking. Director should have asked them to say things differently. Slower maybe. Movie was rushed.
It felt like some one edited every cut scene from a wow game.
>>70767537
No stupid dollar store fangs with Gamora, but Paula Patton >>> Zoe any day.
>>70767640
it seems like early in development they were told they had a roughly 2.5 hour runtime, so they did that if a little longer
then some fuckass focus group said "no it has to be 2 hours!!111!!"

I thought the humans lived on lordaeron?
>>70767670
Suprised Robin hasn't killed himself yet, over fucking that up so hard.
>>70767784
not on the first war, they flee to Lordaeron after Stormwind is destroyed
>>70767784
that's after the events of WC1 when the orcs BTFO Stormwind and the humans need to fuck off
>>70767804
Robin? What?
>>70767910
Robin Thicke
>>70767695
Studios are poisonous to what's shown, sometimes.
>>70768074
>sometimes
all the time
basically every movie ever made by a large studio had to be dumbed down for a larger audience and became worse as a result
Movie would have been shit even if it 30m longer.
>>70767804
isn't she with some blonde midget now? I thought I saw a pic of her and him in a tv thread recently?
>>70766627
I agree, it's actually pretty good. Better than TFA, BvS, and Apoc.
>>70768157
We need to be rid of these dinosaurs. Only then could we make truly inspirational art.
>>70768740
they aren't wrong though, they're catering to general audiences which give them money
however i'm liking how rotten tomatoes is actually having a noticeable effect on ticket sales these days, people are more cautious movie goers and will wait for the RT Score. If this trend continues studios might actually have to make GOOD movies to get money
>>70766627

also, what the fuck is that guy doing wobbling around in the foreground?
>>70769367
I hope they at least try. At the very least Try. But with people like Amy Pascal lying around, it'll be a while.
I'm amazed by the terrible acting of Khadgar, the absolute cheesiness of some deaths/emotion,the fight at the end that lasted 10 seconds with the good ol between the legs, and the just god awful acting of humans. The orcs did everything okay except mild cheesiness and downplaying the opinions of the orcs.
Fire Khadgar, bring in shamans, make it rated-R, get rid of Llane's fucking helmet, and stop being bad.
:/
2/10 movie, just awful
>>70766627
I'd venture so far as to say it was fucking amazing.
Those tribal drums coming in at the opening were so fucking satisfying. I'll admit the pacing was pretty shit (the opening act was Exposition Central, and pretty much everything up to and includingLothar's kid's deathfelt kinda clunky and mishandled), but holy fuck when it finds it's footing near the end of the second act, I was fucking wide-eyed smiling. Durotan fighting Guldan, that final battle where humans are fighting orcs, it was all just such perfectly executed fantasy that I couldn't help but love it.
It did feel like it was sequelbaiting, especially with the opening and the ending with the floating baby (I've heard his name is Thrall or something?). The movie should have tried to focus more on the right then, I think, tell a self-contained story that could then be expanded upon.
Man, though...when shit worked it worked like a motherfucker. Kinda like how I felt about BvS, except I had no previous attachment to the source so I had less expectations. Plus, more stuff worked here.
Also, the action in the Orc Fights was fucking BRUTAL. Hard to believe a lot of that ended up being PG-13.
>>70773836
>(I've heard his name is Thrall or something?)
Also, I read your points. Glad you share my opinions, despite never being a fan of Warcraft.
Did you know Thrall is one of the most well written characters in Warcraft? His entire arc is a godamn Jesus-esque pilgrimage throughout the world and his tribe.
So get excited for a sequel. If you loved the shit in this movie, you're gonna love the next ones.
Other than Llane's actor, Draka's death, and the final Blackhand fight I thought it was good. The first encounter with the orcs in the woods and the Durotan vs. Gul'dan fights in particular were really good.
>>70766627
/tv/ will hate it anyway, just because.
so are Ner'zhul and Grom in this movie?
>>70774077
Grom is in the background of a few scenes and Ner'zhul isn't in it at all.
>>70773935
Well, I'm fuckin' hype. I really don't see how the critics were so off-base here.
I partially blame it on being a Video Game adaptation (doomed to fail). Also the Lothar/Garona romance made me want to rip someone's eyes out.
>>70766627
>stormwind is burning in the poster
>never burns in the movie
>>70774054
>Guldan taking off his cloak and revealing those crazy ass fucking bones
>Durotan breaking off one of the bones
>Guldan using that Fel magic and ripping out his fucking soul
I was hype literally the entire time and I didn't even care much about Warcraft before this.
>>70774124
also, in the upcoming sequels, here are the arcs you're hopefully going to get
>a paladin's fall from grace, in an attempt to save the world he loses his soul.
>three races of old and new joining forces, putting aside differences to save the world from a demonic alien threat
>the orcs, led by thrall, travelling through distant lands in order to seek out a destiny. throughout their journey, they try to free themselves from bloodlust against humans and their morals conflicting with their tribal traditions
i seriously hope they dont fuck this up. i just wish.
>>70774116
who was the skull-mask Orc from the trailer? I assumed it was Nerzhul
>>70774326
Just a random Laughing Skull orc. There are dozens of random orcs you see with similar masks.
>It wasn't THAT bad
Are we gonna rationalize like this for every shit movie?
Look, Warcraft geeks, I know you want to like this movie because it has Orcs. But don't settle for piss-poor pacing and melodrama just because it has Orcs in it.
This is not videokino and it's not the dawn of a new trend. Try cracking $100 million domestic then we'll talk.
>>70774195
>Stormwind in exterior shots
>Never see Stormwind much outside the throne room, war room and dungeon
Nice world building, chumps.
>>70773836
My thoughts exactly. It's not a Fury Road but it's not BvS either. Hyped as fuck for sequel, chinabros will save it.
With a 32 at Metacritic, I can say I expected way worse. Movie felt too rushed and the acting wasn't very good, though.
>>70774483
This along with the retcons are my biggest gripe s.
The first act and its exposition felt so goddamn rushed I was worried the gf wouldnt be able to follow along.
Luckily she isnt a moron so she was able to keep up. She was still shaky on Medivhs motivations though.
I wasnt about to explain Sargeras, Aegwynn and all that to her on the drive home so I just bought a copy of the Last Guardian instead.
oldschool wow player here. dropped a while after cata. just now trying WoD
Its good eye candy, but the largest problem is that this is clearly made for fans. Pacing really is shitty. The score is half-assed too, which is really sad. I had expected more.
The closest thing i can compare this to is anime movies that are hodge podge versions of a tv series that normally is 20-30 episodes long. Theres too many assumptions made, shoe-horned relations and motivations, lack of supporting complimentary sub-story arcs...
I cant say that I wasnt smiling at certain parts. Initial Durotan/Draka dialogue was enjoyable. To be quite honest, I could have very much enjoyed the movie if the humans were a VERY small sub-element and this was entirely about the orcs.
I seriously doubt the directors cut with an additional..what..20? 30 minutes? is going to make up for this. If i were more critical, I'd say this felt like Warcraft the Fanfiction The Movie.
>>70767082
Take your pills.
How many fucking sequels until arthas? And did this shit flop?
Aren't thrall and arthas in the same era? But then I thought Lothar was like a legendary ancient king
>>70776225
Lothar died in the Second War, well before Arthas and Thrall's time.
I'm not a warcraft player, so I went in with low expectations. It wasn't good, but it wasn't any worse than any of the Marvel films lately.
>>70768345
This. Also better than Jackson's Hobbit movies with their copy paste cgi. How the fuck did it get a lower score than those movies? Was it the stigma of being a videogame nerd movie?
>>70776528
I wholeheartedly believe that it being based on a Video Game singlehandedly killed this movie.
>>70776809
It doesn't help, especially with the track record of video game based movies and the public's perception of WoW and it's fanbase.
Jones kept the somewhat cartoonish look from Warcraft when designing the Alliance, to his credit. To everyone else who has never played WoW or Warcraft, which would be 99% of the RT critics, it probably looked out of place and cheesy.
I think that was the movie's greatest failure- people would see it without understanding the context of what they were watching.
>>70777079
That's true.
I really only played a little WoW, took it like a week to download on my computer for some reason but it was pretty hype for the short time I did play it. I realized a little while ago that I fucking hate playing MMORPGs though. Have to devote too much time and effort, both of which I plum don't have.
>>70777370
That is the biggest failure of MMOs, the grind. At least with WoW vanilla and TBC they used lore and a changing storyline to make it interesting.
>>70766627
>>70767082
first 30 minutes has bad pacing but its an ok movie.
You know what, I'm just sad that this movie got bombed to hell in RT. Right now all fantasy movies - comic books, videogames or whatever high fantasy movie will always be compared to marvel quipshits for it to succeed. it has to :
a) light hearted
b) quippy
c) no heavy intellectual themes
or it will deemed not fun by the masses. BvS has its flaws but overall was a good movie, can't wait for Director's cut (i wish to see Snyder's 4 hour cut though) and Warcraft although has some serious pacing issues in the first 30 minutes is an overall enjoyable movie. but no, its deemed unfun and bad since it did not adhere to marvel's quipshit
fuck this shit. there's no variety in movies anymore today. if LoTR was shown today it would get destroyed in RT as well
>>70777506
MORE WORK?
>>70777455
I think Blizzard's got good ideas but doesn't know how to use them.
I mean, take Overmeme for example. A friend recently pointed out to me that the lore in that is fucking spectacular, but in-game you really don't get much beyond "colorful powered killers kill each other in battles of 6v6".
Not that there's anything wrong with that (hey TF2 survived off the exact same thing) but it feels like Overwatch has an insane amount of potential as a standalone story piece (as evidenced by the shorts.
If they'd just put a damn singleplayer/open-world mode in there...
I wouldn't say it was good but it was pretty comfy to watch once. Saw it with a friend and we had a good time.
>>70777751
I haven't played Overwatch so the story is lost on me, but if the game is a MOBA (is it?) then lore really isn't that important, at least not as important as it would be for an mmo.
>>70778058
It's not a MOBA. It's 90% team based shooter with like 10% ASSFAGGOTS elements.
>>70778058
I woulsn't go so far as to call it a MOBA in the traditional sense, it's literally just a TF2 clone with better characters that all have an "ultimate" ability. They have cooldown abilities too, but beyond that it's straight TF2.
The story is actually really deep for this kind of game though, despite it mostly being doled out through the shorts, comics, and other media.
Fascinating stuff there, prime potential for a kid's movie.
>>70778096
>10% ASSFAGGOTS elements.
kek, why would lore matter in a team based FPS anyways? Gameplay is the main issue there.
>>70778275
Ultimately it doesn't but a little fluff is nice. The characters in game will occasionally talk to each other so it helps understand the dialogue a little more.
>>70778275
And the gameplay's fucking great in this.
I'm just saying, they have a great world they're completely wasting.
>>70778226
I doubt a movie will happen after Warcraft's box office returns. Warcraft was easily Blizzards best IP, maybe Starcraft could be turned into a movie, or Diablo, but Blizzard probably is temporarily turned off after Warcraft's poor performance.
>>70778352
Well, maybe they will turn it into an MMO after WoW finally crashes.
>>70778407
That would be backwards. It started as an MMO, Project Titan. When it didn't pan out they took the concepts and assets and decided to make this.
>>70774596
>It was confusing to normies so I bought this thing
Blizzard has won
>>70778450
Huh, I remember hearing about Titan being Wow's successor, I didn't know that it became Overwatch. Neat, thanks anon.
If the fanbase grows enough they may go back and complete it. Wow wouldn't have been made without the foundation Warcraft 1-3 laid first.
>>70778494
Can't blame Blizz for catering to normies for shekels desu
>>70766627
It is like the Speed Racer Movie to me. I think it is visually fantastic and great fun.
I thoroughly enjoyed the movie.
Some parts are not perfect, but the imperfections are minor.
I've never touched Warcraft in my life. The movie was easy to follow but was shallow as hell. The movie never explains anything about the world but expected you to care. It was like a watching a movie that relied on a deep understanding of the history of Liberia.
I'm almost glad that the plot of cliché fantasy, because otherwise i wouldn't have been able to follow it at all.
>>70770511
holy shit his hand clipped through his head. This is videogame cutscene bad. Is there a lot of bad scenes like this?
>>70778616
>If the fanbase grows enough they may go back and complete it
What? There isn't a campaign. Are you just lying?
>>70778864
Fuck you. Speed Racer had heart and sincerity and genuinely moving moments. This was a soulless cash grab. Get off my board.

Still bad though. How can you fuck up such a simple story is beyond me.

It's a fine addition to the Contrarian Collection. What a fucking masterpiece, it's right up there with Man of Steel, Star Wars Episode III and Prometheus. It's a joy to see it keeps growing every day.
>>70781269
Like, I'm not even trying to be a fucking contrarian here.
I genuinely enjoyed this movie. Not a masterpiece by any means.
>>70781326
Tots, bro. People who hate on this piece of kinography merely aren't smart enough to understand the subtleties of the script or the masterful use of CGI. Truly a film for the ages.
>>70766627
Is there a 1080p torrent of this yet?

>>70781476
>I have 0 attachment to the Warcraft series (never played any of the games)
Oh my, that totally validates your point and makes this obvious piece of trash an excellent film automatically. You found the loophole, you fantastic person.
I thought this joke of a movie was indefensible garbage, but let's say it was good because of the peer pressure. What a great film, would buy on bluray.
>>70781378
Go fuck yourself.
I loved it personally, but it had flaws. A shit ton of them. Primarily pacing and acting.

You are right on the fact that from start to finish it made sense and was well shot. However the story just didnt interest me. Well done movie just not my thing.

Such unique opinions, you totally fit in here by going against the flow. I like you, let's make out.
>>70781476
All the inconsistencies with the lore irritated the shit out of my autism, but overall it was entertaining I guess. Most of the acting was total dogshit though and the LotharxGarona thing was so fucking forced it hurt.
Like Medivh never hits Khadgar with a spell that makes him old, Durotan and his waifu don't die in exile, Doomhammer doesn't smash Blackhand's shit who instead becomes some goofy half demon thing, and a bunch of other stuff.

Third War. Blood elves are what remains of the high elves after they were slaughtered and their city destroyed when Arthas came to town, so he could utilise the powers of the Sunwell to bring back Kel'thuzad as a proper lich. The Second War really was just an extension of the first one, where the orcs continued their invasion, but this time against the Alliance of Lordaeron instead of just the Kingdom of Stormwind.
>Elves and Dwarfs in the movie

>The Alliance isn't meant to have been created yet

this is my hope for Kel'Thuzad, the scourge is just a tad too onesided in the gender department and could use a different body type than "emaciated"
>>70780388
They're not like LOTR elves. Warcraft elves have a crippling addiction to magic.
Never played any Warcraft, so I couldn't give a crap about lore, but thought this movie was the best fantasy movie since LOTR. Granted, that's not saying much, and it's nowhere near as good as LOTR, but it's a decent flick.

I'd like to see Saoirse Ronan play Jaina. They'd need like some young blonde guy who's kinda bulky to play Arthas, but also at least can pull off sinister for when he turns into the Lich King, maybe something like Tom Felton if he bulked up. Sean Bean as Uther. Max von Sydow as King Terenas. Anne Hathaway (with my heart) as Sylvanas Windrunner. Tobey Maguire as Kel'thuzad. Charles Dance as Antonidas. Harry Lloyd as Kael'thas Sunstrider. Someone outwardly sinister as Mal'ganis, I was thinking like Jake Gyllenhaal but he's a bit too understated with his sinister, also doesn't have the right voice, maybe Ron Perlman. Ron Perlman as Archimonde if not Mal'ganis. Ron Perlman also for the other dreadlords.
>>70784133
>I'd like to see Saoirse Ronan play Jaina.
You just want to see a small waifish blonde girl as an orcish fleshlight.
I think that all the true fantasy fans will enjoy Warcraft. Duncan Jones has proven himself quite adept, time and time again, and putting out exciting films.

Yes.

That's terrible casting.
>>70766627

First act had some boring introductions of characters.
Second act was better, third act and the finale were great. Samwise Gamgee-level material right there from Garona.
>>70773935
>His entire arc is a godamn Jesus-esque pilgrimage throughout the world and his tribe.
Moses-esque, actually.
Down to becoming prideful and ultimately falling from grace.
Pacing was too fast
Acting quality was all across the board
Retcons on established lore that's over 2 decades old
A couple shitty camera switches probably due to cut content.
I went into the movie not believing the hype and I was still a bit disappointed.

Only for dumb ameritards listening to meme critics on the Internet.
The normal people in the rest of the world loved it.
>>70784332
Sure, it can't possibly be a terrible movie because some critic said so. Were you born like this?
The guy who played Medivh did better than I thought he would.
>>70778940
what are you talking about?
i just checked the webm like 3 times and nowhere do i notice clipping
>>70766627
This is /tv/

What are you even trying to achieve?

After the neck is snapped, the head falls backwards and down through the orc's hand.

no it doesnt?
his head moves forward and kilrogg opens his hand so it can fall down

What the fuck did they do to Anduin Lothar?

pretty small thing to notice, I still can't even see it
surprised more people aren't talking about how the dude goes limp and stops screaming BEFORE the big dude turns his neck into a straw
>>70771255

How aboutt he orc on the right whose cheering instead of fighting even though the humans are standing right in front of him.
>>70784572
it doesnt clip he sqishes his neck
>>70784618
we never do meet Lothar in game to find out his real personality
we only get recounts from other characters, most of who owe their life to Lothar
so it makes sense they would describe him as a flawless champion who never faltered

Right after that, the hand clips right through his head.
>>70784930
He is the fucking commander of Stormwinds army and probably a true patriot, they really didnt need to create a son to him to make him sad about orcs invading and killing his countrymen.
>>70784845
Watch the orc's index finger.
>>70785028
it is the smallest most minute detail for one fucking frame you autist shut the fuck up
>>70777751
The only reason OW has so much lore is because the whole game is scraped together from years and years of work on Titan. OW is probably a glimpse into the universe that Titan would've taken place in
>>70785110
Eat shit, it looks terrible.
>>70785028
I honestly don't see it. I'm trying really hard. Either way, if I have to pause a movie, zoom in, and watch it frame by frame to see a finger clip in literally one frame, I don't care.
You're entitled to your own opinions. If that kinda thing ruins a movie for you, I feel super bad for you.
>>70784968
He blamed Medivh for his sons death anyways.
By the way I'd like to point out Lothar in the movie is too young to have a son that old.
>>70785245
Well Travis Fimmel is 36 years old, so we can imagine that he got a son when he was around 18 or 20 and his son didnt look much older than 18 at least to me.
>>70785370
Except the actor playing his son is 23 turning 24 this year.
>>70771090
must be pretty salty
>>70785464
because every character has to be the exact same age as the actor playing him
>>70766627
Are there any lore reasons for why this specific orc is so sexy?

>>70785572
she's half orc half dranei
>>70785634
I don't see it either
and you faggots going "muh sheeels" every time someone points out something good about the film is getting annoying
>>70785572
Originally she was supposed to be half orc half human.
But then Blizzard retconned her into being half draenei instead of human.
But for whatever fucking reason didn't bother actually giving her any of the draeneis physical traits such as blue skin or horns.
Some backgrounds didn't blend well with the with the actors and sometimes even the orcs looks like they were in front of a green screen.
The orc's development was alright but the humans were too rushed, like i don't really know about their world, their history, etc
Also the design of the armors was a bit cartoony and shiny, that plus the cgi backgrounds make it feel too artificial compared to the design of the orcs.
Lore aside the plot was over-complicated with references to a greater story for the next movies. The orcs were the best part and have the best characters, the humans characters were boring and i couldn't empathise with any of them.
I tried to like it. Maybe next one (if there is one) will be better.
>>70766627
honestly It was pretty mediocre. The only thing it has for itself is it's Warcraft. You remove that and you're left with a film with big pacing issues, a bad story and terrible actors.
>>70784930
Fucking this. Also dwarfs and elfs cameos just beacuse muh fantasy world.
>>70785550
Lothar didn't even have a son until this movie.
If you are going add something like that to the main character of the movie it's a pretty good idea to have the actor playing his son to not be so fucking old.
>>70785817
There was nothing wrong with the story itself, it's just the pacing and some of the acting sucked ass.
>>70784891
>we never do meet Lothar in game to find out his real personality
Eh, he's one of the few characters you hear from in warcraft 1 and 2.
The warcraft manual is told through Garonas and Lothars perspectives, they do recount historical events they weren't there for though.
>>70777518
the 4 hour cut of BvS isn't gonna be good lad. The three hour version will probably be the best version of the film. He said the 4 hour cut was just an assembly cut. When they combined all the footage they filmed it was 4 hours without any editing or cutting. They trimmed it down to 3 hours, afterwards.
>>70784930
>>Felt sorry for Durotan being soulsucked by Guldan
The character moments of Durotan were nice.
Shame they just occured in the constrictions of the movie.
I appreciated his frustration and confusion when adressing king Llane. Being used to war solving everything, yet knowing something has to be done differently.
>>70777518
No. LOTR were solid movies, well filmed and well built, able to be appreciated by everyone. On a cinematographic standpoint Warcraft is terrible. It was always going to bomb with non-Wacraft fans.
>>70766627
Did anyone else get the Dungeons and Dragons movie vibe from this movie? I thought DnD was excellent. Perfect ending too when they use the ruby to transport to another plane to meet Snails.
>>70785935
im saying that his sons age in the movie is independent of the actors age
besides he is pretty baby faced, id accept the fact that he was 18 years old or whatever
It is poorly paced, but despite that, it is fairly fun in a cheesy 80's and 90's fantasy fashion. I'm guessing the whole cheesines of it is among main reasons why people don't necessarily like it.
It actually reminded me a bit of series like Xena and Hercules.
>Movie never shows how Guldan rose to power with his evil magic
>Medivh's betrayal is never explained-literally no mention of sargeras whatsoever in the movie
>Lothar now has a son, whoops now he's dead
>Garona had a love interest to the King
>Movie shows her interested in Lothar instead
>Doesn't show orcs invade stormwind the first time and fail
>Doesn't show orcs invade stormwind a second time and succeed
>DOES show King Llane get killed by Garona but that was supposed to happen when stormwind falls not when the dark portal was shut down
Movie plot is a giant clusterfuck
Wait so what endings are Canon in WC1 and 2?
>>70786189
I just realized how pointless that meeting was, not only did the brown orcs never help the humans defeat guldan but the humans never helped the brown orcs with....uh what was it they wanted again?
Oh and then a good chunk of everyone died from medivhs lightning shit
Why the fuck did they make Alodi in the cube a woman when they could have just as easily had the woman be Aegwynn and it would have made just as much sense.
Garona went from Half-Orc Half-Human
to retcon Half-Orc Half-Draenei,
to retcon Half-Orc Half-Human AGAIN
Did metzen REALLY have any input in this movie at all?
Actually, it was fucking horrible. There was never any climax. You never really cared about any of the characters. They didn't explain half the shit in the movie and just expected you to know what all this important shit was, etc.
>hurr durr, I'll duel this other Wizard Orc, and if I die no one will follow him.
>dies
>Orcs start to leave
>"don't"

It was like WTF was the point of any of that?
Same shit happened when the pussy king got shanked. Even the last duel in the movie was crap. It lasted like 5 seconds after being hyped up for like half the movie.
>>70786970
Pretty sure she told lothar she's half draenei
>>70786883
>Wc1 ending
Kingdom of Azeroth falls, King Llane dies, Stormwind is sacked, Lothar, the Queen, the Prince and Azerothian refugees flee north to Lordaeron and other kingdoms.
>wc2 ending
The horde is defeated and put into camps with the exception of Kilrogg and the Bleeding Hollow clan who evade capture. The Dark Portal is destroyed, but the rift remains.
Stromgarde and Gilneas leave the alliance because they think the camps should be of the death variety, not the internment variety, or that may be later, not entirely sure.
>>70787001
Yeah but then we find out shes fucking Medivhs daughter. Which is ANOTHER retcon from being his fucking lover.
>>70786854
you got it in one. I could barely understand any of the characters motives are what I was supposed to be feeling or what was going on in general. Pile of steaming crap that epitomises modern summer blockbusters.

holy shit, that was absolutely awful.
Also we need to wait for another boring movie before we can get wc3

>>70787204
This was supposed to be Sargeras?
Damn I didn't make the connection.
>>70787359
>I didn't make the connection.
if you know anything about warcraft lore, you should have. If you don't, it's just a corrupted fel medivh
>>70787359
>This was supposed to be Sargeras?
No. Looks nothing like him outside of regular demonic-trope-features.
It's meant to be a hint of where the 'Fel' is actually from.
>>70787316
The movie does not even show her remotely interested in autistic medivh.
Garona even says Lothar would be a good mate for an orc
>>70787396
eh well Khadgar stabs him in the heart and Lothar decapitates him, or at least that's what happens in the lore.
In the movie he gets crushed to death by his golem but not before being purified by Khadgar using the power of magic and friendship
>>70787490
What the fuck even was that magic, was it supposed to be Holy because it looked fucking holy.
Also what the fuck at not making Khadgar 50 years old
>>70787017
No she isn't. You're a liar.
>>70787456
I thought you were talking about the game when you said she had an interest in the king
>>70787490
>>70787530
I assumed it was magic from alodi because he said "from darkness, light" or he learned it from her or whatever
>>70787535
Yes, she is.
You can google this shit to see others disbelief.
>>70787530
>What the fuck even was that magic, was it supposed to be Holy because it looked fucking holy.
It wasn't Holy. It was regular Arcane - Alodi's message is just a hint at how the Spheres of Magic work (cause at this point no one knows all the workings of magic).
Arcane (What the Kirin Tor use) is the Opposite of Fel (Demons/Guldan).
Khadgar will likely undergo his aging process when he gets trapped in Outland with Turalyon in WC2.
Order (Arcane) <-> Disorder (Fel)
>>70787624
not anon you're replying to but why the fuck would they make her his daughter? What aboutmedan?
>>70787734
They will probably scrub Medan from the Movie-canon.
Just like they will probably scrub WoD from the canon if they ever get that far.
>>70787734
Med'an was pretty much written out of the actual lore anyway. He still "exists" but he most likely wont ever be used for anything other than the terrible comic he was in.
>>70787751
Even so they could scrub him by not having medivh and garona have a son, but why change it so much to his daughter? Just theorising what they could have planned for them both...
>>70787530
It was basically his transition to be the next guardian, he had power to cure him.
I don't know if anything in this movie is cannon.
>>70787817
>I don't know if anything in this movie is cannon.
Just think of it as a separate universe like the mcu. Some things ultimately need to be changed for a film to work
>>70787784
Probably might be a reason for his exposure to fel energies if he went to Draenor at any point (to hav>>70787817
>It was basically his transition to be the next guardian, he had power to cure him.
>I don't know if anything in this movie is cannon.
Basically this.
As for it being canon (assuming a future where Blizzard goes on to make more and more movies) - just think of it like re-writing a draft of a book over and over and over again.
>Original WC story-line and lore
>Retcons with WC3, WoW and more
>Finally amalgamizing everything together when they make the film.
The movie canon is probably their final-image of how they want things to be.
It's also not really possible for it be Holy. Khadgar was not trained as a Priest. He uses Arcane.
Priests were mainly in Lordaeron - and then Paladins are born when its discovered that the Light/Holy energies can be used in combat (WC2)
>>70787734
I believe it'd be because her actual parentage from the games is that her dear old orc dad, raped her mum (Maraad's sister), and that's how she was born. The film quite obviously depicts the orcs and draenei fighting, so to keep her half-orc lineage it would at least be implied that she was a rape baby. But because Medivh was the first human to interact with the orcs, this way they can remove the whole rape aspect and keep their PG-13 rating.
>>70787879
Well he yells "from darkness LIGHT!" and thats when the golden light comes out of him, which looks and sounds exactly like the Light/Holy magic from the games.
I think the best part of the whole movie was the blizzard logo.
>>70787927
it also links back to this pic >>70787643 light/holy and dark(shadow/void) being opposites
>>70781538
she talked cute
>>70767537
Can't really compare them since Paula was a lazy bitch, and wouldn't actually use the makeup.
Of course the CGI makes her look more appealing.
I just want my Queen on the big screen <3
Were the high elves at the round table CGI or people with makeup on?
>>70787158
>>70787188
He looks fine to me.. is it the smooth baby skin that makes him look bad to you guys?
>>70788154
Better question is why were so many of them asian.
>>70788178
Because they look most like elves retard...
what other race has an abundance of high cheekbones and almond eyes
>>70788173
I dunno what it is exactly, the really bright green skin maybe, the teeth, the hair, the ears look way too big already. The eyes look good actually
>>70788154
Real actors with added effects.
I think they look fantastic.
>>70788268
Is there no frontal shot of that elf bitch at all?

New home for our orcies, fel fueled blood lust, defend ourselves against the invaders. Why is that so hard to understand?
>>70788811
Just because it's loyal to something doesn't mean it's good.
Warcraft has always been one fantasy cliche after another anyway.
Night elf fucking shits get out REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>70788756
War of the Ancients movie when.
Without time-travel nonsense of course.

Warcraft is standard High Fantasy - and it doesnt shy away from it. Nor is it cringe-worthy.
Its just loyal to what it is.

Me too anon. I think they got the high elf look perfect. Hell, I thought they got the look of the Warcraft dwarves perfect too. Orcs were GOAT though, damn I loved every scene with them.
>thread about the movie
>full of fat nerds drooling over pictures
And this is why everyone's luaghing at this failure.
Any references to Leeroy Jenkins?
That's because it was good, it's like a 90% adaptation of Orcs and Humans. Everyone says the pace is off from jump cuts but I honestly didn't feel that was the case but that could be because I know the lore.but at the same time, lore wise every question I always see asked is answered in the movie besides like who was in the cube but that's because it was supposed to be a mystery and some things are left for the second movie.
I feel like the biggest problem non warcraft fans have is that they want more information about the new world they are experience and they feel more should of been in the movie but the truth is everything that was in the game was in the movie and a lot of the lore has come after or in addition to releases of the games. Basically it's like asking for the silmarillion after watching the first LotR movie and yeah it'd fill in all the blanks but the only reason you don't hear people asking for the silmarillion after watching the first LotR movie is that the LotR story is simple when it comes to the ring so people feel they have the whole picture whether they do or not.
I rate the film probably a 7 or 8 out of 10 from the 2 times I've watched it and the extra 40 minutes could easily push it up higher. I highly recommend you go to the theatre and watch it if you like fantasy in any shape or form and don't watch it in 2d or that chinese torrent because non 3D really hurts the special effects (first showing was 3d second was not).
>>70788917
>[Something many people look down on] and it doesn't shy away from it. Nor is it cringe-worthy.

You gotta respect that.I mean this without irony.

According to a bunch of virgins.

Fuck off Duncan, this flick is not worth money.
>>70789041
I mean yeah probably a bunch of virgins liked it but that's irrelevant to everything I said and to me.
>>70789027
it's very fucking different from orcs and humans faggot
>>70788811
>Design looks good in the games because the style is a cartoony
>They use the same designs with real actors
I like the design but makes an awkward contrast with the real actors, as if the movie didn't look artificial enough already.
>>70788917
That's why this movie is a living joke.
Not only it took something nobody likes, but it took itself way too seriously.
Cringe, one after another.
>>70789064
All films are usually worth the money. You must be 15 or really poor because $10 for a movie ticket to go see like 2-3 movies that come out every month or other month isn't anything but pocket change to an adult.
>>70789106
>All films are usually worth the money
I agree, usually.
This is not one of those.
>>70787530
That golden light that surrounded himwas the level up animation
>>70789083
No it's not, name something different from orcs and humans that's a huge fucking difference that actually means anything? Besides the small retcons that literally affect nothing.
>>70766627
Oh boy it was.
Pacing was shit. It literally felt like someone tried sticking a couple TV shows' worth of material in a movie. It's hard to expect the audience to sympathize with characters and the world that they barely know shit about. I mean, we have practically ZERO information on what the setting is, how it works, which laws in there a easy or hard to break - that's why all the onscreen drama feels like it has zero impact.
The aesthetics were even worse. What Jones and the production team had to realize is that movie adaptations do not work like video games do, as they operate on a different level of suspension of disbelief from the audience. And that is the reason why the graphics plainly did not work, those plastic armor and overdesigned swords look like bullshit on screen, the whole fucking movie felt like it was made by cosplayers. Maybe if they looked at how Hobbit was made, it would have been acceptable.
Also, combat scenes. Oh fuck me with an umbrella, combat scenes were ABSOLUTE SHIT. I thought tBoFA was awful in portraying battles (orcs receive cavalry charges face front without lowering spears, Legolas marysues his way through hordes of enemies, Dwalin holds off about a thousand goblins, etc), but this missed a mark even as low as that. Why is alliance not able into formations, except for that testudo Lothar's son commands? Where are the gun lines? Why are they just charging orcs on foot? Do alliance commanders even know what tactics are?
>>70789122
It's worth the money for special effects alone (like avatar or HFR Hobbits) stop being dumb.
>>70789155
I'm not going to give $10 just for some pretty orc faces.
>>70789088
>Not only it took something nobody likes
If you think nobody enjoys High-Fantasy anon then I don't know what to say.
Not that I'm surprised. Its a massive current trend/disease in the media (both in movies, video games, music and literature) for people to be exceedingly fucking critical. As if it gives them some podium to stand on because they appear 'better' than others by criticizing something. Cynicism is at an all-time-fucking-high

Literally everyone on my facebook friends list who has seen the movie or their friends have seen it have said they enjoyed the movie. I enjoyed it and so did my friend who doesn't play and my wife. The only person I have encountered so far that didn't think it was that great was my friends husband so far.

Better than shitposters on /tv/ who are shitting on it without either seeing it or seeing it in a proper settings and who just love to be negative about everything.
Is that a real poster from the movie? It looks like one of those XXX parodies.
>>70789312
Anecdotal evidence is all /tv/ has really. Outside of how well a movie does financially.
Or are you the kind of person to believe Rotten Tomatoes critics?

there's heaps more Duncan, it's not orcs and humans it's wow retcons + retcons for a movie
>>70789340
Why would anyone be positive about this crap?
>>70788268
Did they ever stand directly next to a human? They literally should be like 11 feet tall if the fucking orcs get a 1.5 foot height increase
>>70789353
The only people who dismiss RT are Warcraft shills and Snyderdrones.
>>70789359
Literally none of these changed affected anything important. The end result is the same - and most of this was retconned 10 fucking years ago in WC3 and in WoW.
>SW will still eventually be sacked
>King is still killed by Garona
Etc etc
>Orcs and Humans team up.
This doesn't even happen - Durotan fails/gets ambushed
>>70789202
>Not that I'm surprised. Its a massive current trend/disease in the media (both in movies, video games, music and literature) for people to be exceedingly fucking critical. As if it gives them some podium to stand on because they appear 'better' than others by criticizing something. Cynicism is at an all-time-fucking-high
Fucking this, and it's getting old.

>>70789376
High Elves (Blood Elves) were never really that much taller than Humans.
As for Orcs in WoW - they were that tall, they are just always hunched forward.
>>70789202
It's not really cynicism being more, it's that things are just worse.
>>70789398
yeah none of these things are important. ITS TOTALLY JUST LIKE ORCS AND HUMANS GUYS. Shutup.
>>70789359
>>70789398
As that guy said you're just mentioning the tiny retcons that don't change anything at all.
Also frostwolves did exist... and what team up? And Lothar/Garona is no different than Garona/Medivh.
>>70789202

Spoken like a true Cynic.

>>70789441
But anon. Didn't Warcraft already make a profit? I thought the budget for it was $160mil. Unsure of marketing - i heard that was $110mil
>>70789453
>le orcs go thru portal and fight humans
>it's totally the same guys
Have you even played the game
>>70789506
But things actually were better back in my day. There literally hasn't been a good year for film since the '80s.
>>70789506
>Didn't Warcraft already make a profit?
Yes, and all because of China, and even then, it has made 10 million this Saturday, so it might end up making less than Prince of Persia.
>>70789459
It hasn't been shit on by everyone besides fanboys though I don't know why you guys are making this up. Really the only true shitting on this film I have seen is RT and /tv/ shitposters. Go read the Reddit Megathread from release night and you'll see tons of posts that say 7/10 who know nothing about the game.
The only thing I've seen complained about equally everywhere is pacing which he know is from 40minutes being cut.
>>70789567
>Yes, and all because of China
China confirmed for fucking patricians.
>>70789506
>Taking the risk of another flop
maybe, now we need to sit and wait.
>40 minutes of Garona lisping due to fake teeth
No, it was worse than that bad.
>>70789534
"The Orcs originated from another world Draenor, where the orcs, once a peaceful race, gone bloodthirsty from the blood of a pitlord. However, their Warlocks remained aloof, devoting their time to the research of magic. The Warlocks noticed a rift between the dimensions and, after many years, opened a small portal to another world. One Warlock explored and found a region, whose Human inhabitants called it "Azeroth", from which the Warlock returned with strange plants as evidence of his discovery.[21]
The Orcs enlarged the portal until they could transport seven warriors, who massacred a Human village. The raiding party brought back samples of good food and fine worksmanship, and a report that the Humans were defenseless. The Orcs' raiding parties grew larger and bolder, until they assaulted Azeroth's principal castle. However, the Humans had been training warriors of their own, especially the mounted, heavily armed Knights. These, assisted by Human Sorcerers, gradually forced the Orcs to retreat through the portal, which the Humans had not discovered.[21]
For the next fifteen years, one faction of Orcs demanded that the portal be closed. However a chief of exceptional cunning realized that the Humans, although out-numbered, had prevailed through the use of superior tactics, organization, and by magic. He united the clans, imposed discipline on their army and sought new magics from the Warlocks and Necromancers. Their combined forces were ready to overthrow the Humans.[21]"
Straight from wikipedia faggot.
>>70789443
In the movie some literally have a two foot height difference between humans, when Durotan was behind Khadgar, his upper chest and head were clearly above the top of Khadgar's head.
>>70789581
Yeah, now the top 3 foreign films on China are Transformers 4, Age of Ultron and Warcraft.
True patricians.
>>70789581
based chinks saving vidyakino
>>70789581
This is the average chinese Warcraft audience.
And even then, it has had a massive drop this weekend, and it has only made 10 million this Saturday.
It might not even beat Prince of Persia, so this franchise is DOA.
>>70789586
Garona is dick food, you shut up.
>>70789607
holy shit check out this wikipedia faggot posting retcons. I take it you haven't played the game just a wikibaby retard. Eat troll cock faggot
>>70789615
Not really.
It has had a massive drop this weekend, and Duncan is already begging people to tell others to watch the movie.
It's fucking hilarious.
>>70789608
That's 'cause Khadgar is a fucking manlet.
>>70789641
>A movie makes a profit - a decently large one at that
>"Its a flop, the franchise is dead"
Can someone explain this meme to me?
>>70789695
/tv/ hates everything.
>>70789695
it hasn't made a profit yet
>>70789695
You know which movies also made profits?
The Amazing Spiderman 2, Terminator Genisys, Prince of Persia, Need for Speed...
Guess where those franchises are now.
>>70789670
>holy shit check out this wikipedia faggot posting retcons
10 year old retcons from WC3 and WoW.
When are you going to get over it anon. This is literally nothing new.
>>70789737
Yeah, what a surprise that /tv/ didn't like a shitty, direct to DVD-tier videogame movie.
>>70789738
It's almost made double it's budget already.
>>70789340
>butthurt wowfag detected.
>>70789744
are you the original anon I was arguing with because if you're not shut the fuck up.
>it's just like orcs ans humans
>not its not
>posts wow retcons, see its just like orcs and humans
retard.
>>70789770
>hasn't seen the film
>>70789776
>almost
when it does it might make a profit
>>70789776
Yeah, but once you take into account marketing and everything which is about 4 times the actual budget of the film, it's far from making a profit.
>>70789813
Of course i'm not going to watch a videogame movie that had horrible trailers and that, on top of that, the Chinese audience liked.
Maybe now companies will think twice before wasting their money on videogame movies now that the three that came out this year have been failures.
>>70789833
>once you take into account marketing and everything which is about 4 times the actual budget of the film
Source?
I know marketing is usually a lot. But Warcraft got very minimal marketing compared to other huge movies (see: BvS).
>>70789570
Why don't you go back there faggot?
>>70789570
>says that Reddit liked it as if that's somehow good
>>70789836
>Doesn't watch things the Chinese liked.
I pity you empty life, void of Stephen Chow.
>>70789930
Oh don't worry, i'm going to go watch Age of Ultron and Transformers 4 right away.
>>70789788
>wowfag
Dude I've played warcraft for over 20 years now and I still play warcraft III at least once a month fuck off
>>70789833
Warcraft had very minimal marketing.
>>70789836
Then why post in this thread? You're an idiot.
>>70789878
>can't go to more than one website to hear idiots
>>70789918
>implying there's any difference from Reddit and 4chan when it comes to how stupid everyone is.
>>70789950
To laugh at all the virgins who are desperately trying to defend this garbage.
>>70789776
Not really. The % they get from ticket sales in China is actually very low. And the film is taking pretty badly in US right now.
>>70789950
>Warcraft had very minimal marketing.
The delusion is real.
>>70789982
>The % they get from ticket sales in China is actually very low
Wasn't the movie done by Legendary Pictures? I thought they were Chinese-owned. So wouldn't they get more?
>>70790033
I keep reading this but I don't get to see any source regarding box office rates.
R.I.P. vidyakino 2016-2016
>>70790033
Not him, but I think it's a bit muddled.
Legendary Pictures is based in the USA, but its parent company (The Wanda Group) is based in China, so it really depends on the kind of setup they have legally and commercially.
I'd say it's probably set up intelligently, where Wanda group smoothed the way, basically granting themselves everything Legendary needed to publish, but not knowing the full extent of what Wanda owns, it's difficult to say. Could be a lot of different chinese companies were involved in the publishing, which would still mean that that chunk of the profit goes to them, rather than Legendary/Wanda. (Plus anything that goes to Wanda, doesn't necessarily go to Legendary.)
>>70790072
Videogame movies died in 1993.
>>70789997
Doesn't seem like a delusion at all. I expected some cool viral marketing myself. Like how they put a massive Gorehowl in a taxi cab in NY for the release of WoD. I was really amazed they didn't do something big and crazy like that for this movie. Feels like the studio really didn't want to give this a shot cause it wasn't the main genre they think people want.
I remember Tron Legacy going balls deep in marketing online. My brother and I got Encom badges from the stuff.
>>70790151
Oh, there's been a lot of viral marketing.
>>70790182

No one cares enough about you anon to try and persuade you.
