WarCraft (2016)

Just seen it. It isn't terrible, just ok. It's nearly a good film, just lacking a little magic from all the performances probably because of all the CGI. I hope they make another. 6/10.


I want to know what river runs downstream from Swamp of Sorrows to Hillsbrad Foothills.

Saw it yesterday, enjoyed seeing my favorite places on the screen. CGI is over the top. Would recommend - critics are faggots. 7.8/10

The fuck? That just ruined the entire movie for me.

Was super bored and couldn't sleep.

Horrible fucking movie. Horrible acting. Horrible script. Barely acceptable CGI.

I think Fadaar hit it on the head. Would have been amazing 8 years ago. Now? Not so much.

Yes, but does this movie have a Leeroy Jenkins cameo?

A sequel might, but, since this is Warcraft 1, there isn't.

Well it was intresting in a way. If you have an IP with so many many storys, novels, games, and lore and come up with this, I am impressed by your ability to fuck anything up.

I dont mind the armor design ,the weapon design nor the somewhat odd special effects here and there but the stunning lack of acting and the feeling of watching about 200 cut-scenes between the 4-5 longer dialogue scenes was incredibad. It was a series of LOOK WE FLY GRYPHON - LOOK NOW WE ARE RIDING - LOOK WE ARE SCOUTING - LOOK WE ARE BURNING A VILLAGE with very little thought behind it all. I was almost expecting a "collect 10 bear asses" in the middle to make some magic stuff or something but lucked out.

Yeah yeah, videogame movie, but that does not HAVE to mean that you cram everything into two hours and call it a day. This would have been more intresting to me as a story following a lowly garrision soldier from first contact with the orcs to the end battle with some short shows of the major characters at critical plot points.

Wow has always been about leveling and questing. Everyone starts at level 1. They should of made the movie about an anonymous adventurer getting caught up in whatever story they wanted to talk about. You know, like the game.

That would have been great imo. Have the young adventurer singled out during a crisis, and the King walk up to him and give him an heirloom sword. "Here, take this, I see great things in you." As the adventurers face turns from awe to a swell of pride at knowing he is set down a path of glory and adventure. Then the king points to a field in the distance with some pigs and gnolls and says "Now, go kill a few hundred of those and bring me their livers."

Overwatch would have made a fantastic film; they've already proven that. Why the fuck they went with Warcraft is beyond me. And I have been a Warcraft fan since I was 12 (Warcraft 1). I was excited for a Warcraft movie 10 years ago. Now? No thanks. I knew it would suck, the trailer reinforced that, and now, the reviews are coming in. I'll pirate it.

It's a fucking video game movie. Did anyone expect it to be good?

The people that expected the last 2180219 expansions to be good did, remember Blizzard and BioWare can do no wrong!

Super Mario Bros was amazing.

Ridley Scott made this movie. It's called Kingdom of Heaven! (watch the Director's Cut!. See Game of Thrones actors in bit parts!). Replace gnolls with saracens!

Not expecting, but hoping.

Considering the IP and the massive moneypile behind it there was a sliver of hope that Blizzard would demand something good to put their brand on? I dunno, I might be too naive. The best way to do this would of course be handing the money pile to the people doing their intro-movies and trailers and ask them to go nuts. An CGI movie would have been better and would have had better effects and acting then this certainly.
