I enjoyed the trailer more than I thought, tbh.

The CGI looks very good.

marwash22
never played any of the games, but the nerds who have are saying this looks like a good adaptation.

we may have the first good video game movie on our hands.

I played the shit out of Warcraft 2 and 3, so I'm hoping it's good.

Hey, Mortal Kombat.

i mean good, not in a cult classic sorta way.

Saw the trailer and was terribly disappointed.

The CGI looks terrible. It reminds me of John Carter. sad

Edit: I actually think it less the CGI (though some of that is sketchy) but rather the design of the Orcs and the armor. The exaggerated features of the Orcs does not mesh well with the actual humans. They should have gone all CGI or toned down the Orcs.

Inhuman
When the Orcs talk, it looks dumb because of their large tusks/teeth barker

Also CGI orcs in motion look "off" and unnatural.

I'm not going to go into it looking for a good story, I just want action and cool visuals. Might get that, might not.

One departure from the source material (besides apparently retconning the Burning Legion connection (i don't know--maybe that's still in) is how big the orcs are. Yes, orcs were always pretty tall and buff, average 6'5", but in this they're apparently averaging at close to 7' and strong enough to chuck a horse. In the games, humans were always strong enough to hang with orcs, but in this movie it seems like orcs are hands down superior.

Omega Vision
So I looked at the cast list. Khadgar and Garona are both characters, as is the Guardian Medivh, as well as Gul'dan. Nice, this might actually resemble the original game somewhat. Garona is one of my favorite characters from Warcraft, so I hope they do her justice.

Pretty much, I love fantasy, so I'm watching this, but I'm not expecting LoTR quality.

Omega Vision
Also seems like there might be a human/orc pairing in the works based on the trailer. Please let it be GaronaxKhadgar.

The plot is basically the plot of Warcraft: Orcs and Humans, except Dalaran is apparently already floating in the sky.

Also I get the sense that the Alliance of Lordaeron will play a role in this movie, whereas that wasn't formed until the Second War (WCII) when the elves, dwarves, and gnomes joined with the Northern human kingdoms to fight the orcs.

I just hope the movie does well for game to movie adaptations. With a good reception, financially, Which to me does.... maybe next they could do Starcraft.

Starcraft would arguably make more sense as a film adaptation than Warcraft, but I'm still happy we're getting Warcraft.

And I started out favoring the lord of the rings films by far over the Harry Potter films. But this changed as the Lotr films lost their luster as they waned forward. Harry Potter got stronger as they matured and went forward. Nothing in the Lotr films comes close to even touching the Voldemort/Dumbledore duel.

The more mature potter films were the amazing ones. It got much darker. Voldemort's hold over the wizarding community seemed much darker than Sauron who never even reacquired a body.

Nothing from Lotr touches the magnificence of Voldemort.

When asked what are his fondest moments of filming the Harry Potter series:

"Sometimes after we wrapped up filming for the day, Ralph would ask the cast and crew to gather around and he'd read fan-mail from fans telling how inspired they are by his portrayal of Voldemort; Ralph would openly mock them by reading the notes in a dullard's voice. We'd all have a good laugh at those losers. Brilliant stuff, that." -Daniel Radcliffe (People Magazine interview) circa 2013

When asked about the wave of fanboys Voldemort had attracted:

"To this day I'm still confused why so many people believe Voldemort is one film's most iconic villains. I can see the literary version attaining such status, but the film version came off as little more than a throwaway villain for the hero to trounce. An utterly forgettable character that even Fiennes couldn't save. Amon Goeth, Hannibal Lector, Darth Vader and Hans Gruber, now those are memorable film villains." -J.K.

I'm thinking 'what a god-awful character, so vapid, zero screen presence'. I turned it down, figured I'd have to be drunk every scene just to pull through and I was recently out of doing a stint in rehab. Later heard that Fiennes nearly needed a liver transplant from all the drinking he did on set." -Colin Farrell (Rolling Stone interview) circa late 1999

People like to wax poetic about Warcraft rts, but the only reason it wasn't as silly as wow is because it wasn't as mainstream at the time. In other words, exposure made the silliness of the Warcraft IP (in the form of WoW) known to a much wider audience.

I didn't realize Duncan Jones was the director for this. Don't know how I missed that. I guess cause it does just look like another generic CGI mess. Moon is great, so this seems really unexpected. But in his hands it may not be totally terrible.

The Nuul
yeah, i didn't know that Duncan Jones was doing the either. hmm

I loved moon, thought it was excellent. thumb up

This however thumb down

i still have hope for jones for his next films

Yeah, the original LotR films did a lot with more practical make-up effects on the Orcs and it still looks great and doesn't distract and disconnect you from the world they created. That's a big reason The Hobbit films weren't as good, to me. So I don't understand why it can't be done. Not sure what the expense difference is. I mean, they're both expensive I'm sure, so why not go the route that is the most believable and less distracting?

Well, in the case of Warcraft Orcs...there was no way to make them look believable or at least like they fit in a universe with real people. As I said, it really should have been done in a completely CGI/Animated world like the WoW trailers. That, I would have watched. Not this crap that they gave us.

Fair enough if you and The Nuul feel that way for this movie so be it


surely it can't be as bad as Gods of Egypt.

Again, not expecting much in terms of story or even acting(like LoTR), just hope it's good fantasy fun. Jones has impressed me twice so far (Moon, Source Code).

TheVaultDweller
I'm still on the fence about the CGI. It feels like I am watching a game cutscene, as opposed to footage from a live-action, feature-length film.

Robtard
Yeah, the juxtaposition with how game-like the CGI (namely characters) looks next to the actors does put me off as well, but that's not a deal breaker for me.

Still optimistic. Love fantasy more than most though.

looks better than the LotR/hobbit movies.

being dead ass serious, tart.

there looks to be actual magic n shit in this movie, and not just a light show and hair change color spell from the supposed greatest magic user in the story.
