Jon's Queen Consort Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Ok I searched about a thread like this in the last 10 pages and I found nothing. So, this is a thread about Warcraft the movie. Based on the Warcraft games a new movie is coming in June. With Travis Fimmel, also known as Ragnar Lothbrok, as Sir Anduin Lothar and Toby Kebbell, who played Doctor Doom at the last Fantastc 4 movie, as Durotan as the lead protagonists, Lothar for the Alliance and Durotan for the Horde. Truth be told I haven’t played the game or read any of the book yet. But I loved it after seeing the trailer, last time something like that happened I ended up here discussing the ASOIAF books. Any way let the discussion begin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Werthead Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 We had a very long and in-depth thread. What the heck happened to it? Ah. I think this was it. It was reactivated a few months ago when the trailers hit, a lot of people agreed the trailers looked awful, and then those new posts were lost in the forum upgrade.

KiDisaster Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I thought the trailer looked terrible the first couple of times I watched it, but it grew on me. I'm not expecting anything more than a mindless action popcorn flick with some "OH SHIT IT'S <insert nostalgia inducing character/plot point here>!" elements and that's just fine.

The first time I saw the trailer I was "Ragnar?" and "What the heck happens in this movie?" I found the wikia and a channel on yt that explained the lore and history. I still however have no idea about the big picture. 1 hour ago, KiDisaster said: 'm not expecting anything more than a mindless action popcorn flick with some "OH SHIT IT'S <insert nostalgia inducing character/plot point here>!" elements and that's just fine. Agree. Sometimes *mindless* movies are just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could be true, I am afraid that the CGI aren't good enough, but I hope it will not be that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonCon's Red Beard Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 This movie should have been released like ten years ago I think it will be ok. We already planned to go and watch it for my son's bday, as he's super fan of Warcraft (and by extension, everybody else in the house). I don't think it will suck. Many fans seem to be pleased. I remember I read a comment saying "WC fans should feel pleased they are taking the jobs to adapt the stories accurately". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this thing had come out in 2008 I'd have been just as excited as your son. I will admit that the latest round of trailers looks a whole sight better than the first. Doubt I will head to the movies to see this but I'm interested in catching it later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argonath Diver Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Looks pretty stupid. I'll still probably go see it, being their exact target, as a former big WoW (and WC2 and 3) player. Not sure if a 100 minute Warcraft cutscene will be worth a ticket, but at least we'll see some big monsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astromech Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Just make Warcraft 4. I'll watch that film when it premieres on a premium cable channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasta11 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 It's going to be a fantasy popcorn CGI fest. Just like, well, Warcraft has always been. Blizzard is known for many things, good writing is not one of them. I'm not expecting this to be any different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Channel4s-JonSnow Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 The idea of this movie is simply bizarre to me. There are a lot of things I like about the Warcraft Universe, but not the stories, which seem like watered down games workshop fluff. Just from looking at the trailers I cannot understand what this movie is going for. It seems serious and dramatic.. yet features large cartoonish Orcs.

Inkdaub Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I'm worried it will be pretty bad. I don't know. Maybe going in with low expectations will help. I haven't logged in to WoW in months but I haven't even considered not buying Legion. There was a time not too terribly long ago when I played WoW every single day. I was wrapped up in that thing. There is no way I will not see this movie in the theater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowjack Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I was out on WoW a couple of expansions ago (the freaking pandarians did me in) after being a Beta tester (meaning...emotional and financial investment.) I was kind of meh about the movie. Not exactly excited, but I'll see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Channel4s-JonSnow Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 It doesn't even feel that Warcrafty! I played a bit of WoW in the past and it was very cartoonish, and I currently dabble in Hearthstone, but this just doesn't feel close to that universe at all.

Corvinus85 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I've only played the strategy games that preceded WoW. It does look like the movie is going with that origin story that the strategy games had. A decent story, imo, but the so far none of the trailers inspired any kind of confidence that this will be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Channel4s-JonSnow Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 It reminds me a lot more of the dreadful Dungeons and Dragons movie. Which is bad. Directed by Duncan Jones though right? Shame because Moon was a nice little movie, some movies are too big for some directors however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon's Queen Consort Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 Ok I know that this is a very huge favour to ask but, could someone tell me a summary about Warcraft's history up to the First war when the movie takes place? Thank you in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
