What's so horrible about Warcraft?

It was much better than Hobbit movies.
>>
They're both cash grabbing movies pandering to their huge audiences.
You guys are so dumb that you fell for this every single time. Wasn't the Superman vs Batman or Episode VIII enough to see that those people in hollywood won't put no effort in making a good film as long as you idiots give them money?

Some lore purists may sperg out over that statement, but yeah, generally it was surprisingly close to the lore (minus a couple changes)

>>71555808
It wasn't horrible, it wasn't a masterpiece either. Just a decent action/fantasy movie. Probably Jones' cut would have been amazing. Those 20 minutes cut from BvS ended up making a huge difference, I imagine the 40mins cut for the theatrical cut fucked up the movie.

Hobbit 1 was good, anon. People liked it.

Hobbit 2 and 3 were the ones with egregious missteps.

sins of hobbit 1:
>overusing the Mistry Mountains theme
>goblin town chase was ridiculous

I have literally no other complaints, it was bretty gude. Slow paced, but I like slow paced. It built Bilbo up nicely, was generally good on tone. And the game of riddles was great. It helps that Martin Freeman is great at portraying ordinary dudes.

If the main focus is on the orcs, I think it could work really well, seeing as they were the best part of this movie.

But he fucked up with the orks, he made that orcs are brown originally but orcs who took the fel are green, so what collor will be orcs in Durotar?

Think he over did it when he made this lore bogling abomination, just to make non warcraft fans make a difference? Yet fel orcs are red.
>>
>>71560321
>original fans
The movie wouldn't be profitable if they were only making it for them.

Well currently in the lore, orcs that drink too much fel blood turn red and go berserk. (Ex: The orcs in Outland)
Orcs turn green if they drink the fel blood or if they are exposed to fel magic.
>>
>>71561985
Orcs who drink a pit lord's blood turn red. The green is just general corruption.

the orcs from the first war, grom, killrog and the whole lot under orders from ner zhul, the current head shaman( since sargeras tricked him into thinking the draenei were going to attack them) so they all drink mannoroths blood, aside from durotan and a few others. which is why they are still brown.
basically its like this.
>original orcs=brown or grey if they lived underground
>Green=exposed to fel magic, which happens when the blood wears off or just by being near it for too long
>Red=blood crazed, happens after immediately drinking the demon blood or when addicted to it.

The movie would've been fine if it didn't try to pander to WoW fags and Metzen's shitty "There are heroes on both sides" mentality. If they stuck to Last Guardian, we would have a nice, comfy movie with a clear progression and escalation of the plot. But that would mean:

>no EPIK OVER 90000 XD battles
>no Travis Fimmel as a lead (too old for Khadgar)
>no Green Jesus and no dindu orcs (Garona would have to suffice)
>no Lothar's son or black sister

In the games, everyone was an asshole but still likeable.

In the movie no one's an asshole except Gul'dan, and he's the only likeable character.

From that day until now if you want your movie to succeed and not be shot by critics you must do the following.

Unless you're the Coen Brothers. Or Wes Anderson. Or Noah Baumbach. Or Martin Scorsese. Or Charlie Kaufman. Or Werner Herzog. Or David Lynch. Or Lars von trier. Or Woody Allen. Or Clint Eastwood. Or Terrance Mallick. Or Alejandro Inarritu.

But yes if you just take out all of the most famous, successful, and critically acclaimed directors then I guess you have a point?
Hollywood doesn't care about whinging of minorities, unless they start paying money for tickets. Sure they make a front for it, put out a couple slave movies or cast a black lead in a big part, but they don't care.

Almost every scene included was expository dialogue about something entirely related to the plot.

The movie was busy and boring at the same time

The movie's best parts were the few small character scenes.

Do you guys think an extended cut exists, or the movie is literally just like that. Like was it the editing after the fact or the writing itself that made it so disjointed, it just bounces around from scene to scene without any sense of coherency as a whole. I'm inclined to think it was just poorly written because they tried to put too much in the movie and fucked up the pacing horribly, but if there is an extended edition I imagine it would smooth it out somewhat.

By your definition, all movies are cash grabs. That's not necessarily wrong, but if you can't really use that against the film.

It's confirmed there was 40 minutes of completed footage cut from the movie.

Do your family a favor, kill yourself, and stop being a leech asking money to your mommy for videogames.

This movie embodies everything that is wrong with modern cinema.
I'm ashamed to even say that this turd is part of this industry.

It's just wrong, everything a movie should NOT be, and I wouldn't be surprised if Duncan actually regrets doing this.

Nobody wants to have a videogame movie that only nerds liked in his cirriculum, which was good until now.
